I suppose that drinking and driving won't really be an issue tonight. So what are your New Years' resolutions, everyone? Me, I'm thinking I'd like to [pause] read more.

[sorry for the delay, guys, this has been a really crazy week. Xmas gifts from Nikki:

Bastet: a swanky cashmere scarf and matching pair of gloves. she really didn't know what

New Year's resolutions?

[Pingpingping - she feels suddenly like she ought to be doing something, but...what?]

[dont_leave_town]

Yes, it's tradition to make a plan for the new year to do something you didn't achieve the previous year. People don't always keep them, but it's a nice idea.

[Pause, while she ponders that.]

What about the year that's past?

[dont_leave_town]

It's usually reflected on, sometimes more elaborately than others. New Years celebrations are a sendoff of the past year and a welcoming of the new.

Actually mostly they're just an excuse to drink and stay up late and shoot fireworks, but in a perfect world...

[paintitgray]

[Fireworks, aaah, pingpingping. Why does her heart hurt?]

Oh.

Thank you. That sounds like a nice tradition.

[dont_leave_town]

The festivities do tend to be fun, but I think the spirit of the celebration itself is often lost amid the other things.

Have we spoken before? I know I've seen your handwriting around, but I don't think I caught your name. I'm Nikki.
