To a Joyous New Year

Friday, December 30th, 2005 | faggy tendencies

It’s that time of year again. That weird interim time (lol, I said “rim”) between Christmas and the New Year. It’s the time to think about what resolutions to have during the New Year, and what direction to take once the clock strikes 12.

When I was younger, I used to romanticize the idea of the new year. Maybe it was the fact that my mother insisted on all of the superstitions of the new year, like new clothes and new bedding and towels etc. Personally, I used to use the new year as an excuse to experiment with different directions in personal style and dress. Dare I remember the grunge flannel year? Or the one where I decided to actually care about how I looked, and went all out on the “preppy” look? Thank God no pictures are on hand right now.

Which reminds me, this time of year is also the one-year anniversary of me leaving home. It was actually the day after Christmas, actually, and I spent this same week last year working non-stop at the Store. I stayed sporadic nights with Alex and Michael, and I spent my New year’s Eve at Michael’s, with only the few clothes I bought and my laptop, and stayed in and slept while everyone went out.

This year, the Princess and I are planning a little get together/dinner party at my place. I’m thinking appetizers of bruschetta, and cheese. Maybe a main course of cornish hens, something vegetarian, a pasta salad, and roasted potatoes.After everyone is stuffed, we can head out for a drink and count down the end of the year.

Dare I say? I am more fabulous and happier now than I was a year ago.
