Strangest New Year's Eve.R

My friends and I decided to have a bonfire at La Jolla Shores.
Ian and Zac get to the beach at 9am to reserve a spot ... and 2 hour shifts are taken by certain people (I did 11am-1pm) to make sure our spot was claimed. Yeah. All of that was completely unecessary considering that bonfires aren't so popular duing the winter. I guess people start rolling in to the beach around 530pm. I got there at 6pm.

I get there and Zac and Scott get a call from Ian.

Ian had been in charge of the sound system for the evening. He brought speakers and iPod.... but forgot one necessary cable. He decided to go back to his house to go get it, using Zac's car. On the way back however, Zac's transmission broke.... leaving Ian stranded on the side of the highway before the Genessee Exit. Zac goes to rescue his car and Ian with Scott and his gf Heather driving him.



So now the bonfire crowd is Eric and Mel, and three girls the three of us don't know because they were Zac's friends. Yup. I entertained myself at least. It was at least warm.

We break it off at around 8pm, deciding to delay festivities until Zac and Ian were good to go with a car. I head back home for an hour to chill.

I get a call from Zac say that he and Ian are going to pic me up at my house and that there is going to be a sleepover at his place. Sweet. So I grab my stuff, get picked up, and head to Ralphs to go buy alcohol. When we got there, there were only little carts. It felts odd pushing around a child's cart full of alcohol.



And then we don't head over to Zac's place. No, we go over to the house of these two girls in Pacific Beach. Random. Whatever. We go, it's fun. I wasn't in so much of a drinking mood. I just had a glass of the champagne I brought (very good), a beer during our drinking game, another half a beer at some point, and a taste of the god-awful champagne that Ian bought at Ralphs only because it's large size was such a novelty. (FYI, don't ever buy Korbels)

And then came a natural point during the night that occurs with the group composition of 2 single guys, 2 single girls, and one, very happily taken girl.... the 5th wheel effect. Haha. It's cool. Whatever. I mean, it would have been nice to cuddle with someone, but I'll let the 4 of them cuddle amongst themselves.

I pushed two chairs together to make a pseudo-bed, and went to sleep. They can have their beds and futons to themselves.

But it was fun. It was nice to have place to hang out, and friends to be with. Even though a few friends were lame and the bonfire and decided to ditch the rest of us. *ahem*

Hooray for the new year. I won't be used to writing "2007" for about a month.

Resolution? Let's see....

Make myself a larger priority? Maybe, give myself more time to do things that I really love ... and not bog myself down with school and work.

Oh. And eat more cake. That should be an easy one to keep.
