2011 went out with a lacklustre fizzle, I was going to stay home but being a social creature I went out to socialise with friends. My local although busy at first emptied later and was probably going to shut soon after midnight, it was sad to see really as past new years have been far better in there. A few of us wandered down to another local that was at least busy. I did quickly pop down the Castle pub but decided to head back to my friends after I had a 'What are you doing foolish hobbit?' epiphany.
The company was good but I don't think New Years have the impact they once had, as I've said before the millenium killed it with pubs charging to get in, everyone hit the supermarkets for booze and stayed home as a social en masse. I think my body was telling me I'd drank enough last night, I felt a headache encroaching and felt absurdly hot (though the heating did hit you when you left the pub and came back in) and people weren't getting my quirky humour, ok so I do aim to shock a little at times but that's me.
So 2012 is here and very much a blank canvas, it'll be interesting to see what I and others around me do. January is my nominated month off the beer and more than ever I feel I need it, there's been lots of hedonistic nights lately and my body needs the break.
Plan for 2012? Well continue with my writing, I have another blog site planned but need to sort the domain name and set it up. It will be based on my secular humanism/atheist thinking so those that choose to read it can, it will be business as usual on this blog. Hopefully I'll get the new blog up and running in the near future. I have got two other writing projects under way but I'm not sure when they'll reach fruition though one is coming on nicely, both are works of fiction.
Hopefully in March I'll be off to Malta for a holiday and the China holiday with Gary has been moved from February to late summer now, he's got a lot on this year so we have to work around that but hopefully it will still happen.
I've trimmed my Facebook, I had far too many people on there that I didn't really know and added through those silly games on there I no longer play. So a good few have gone, some were also those I pass in the street and just nod and say hello to, others that I maybe once knew but never will see again and some just irritated me, so it was clear out time. Sure there's still people on there I've not met and may never do but they still remain as they are genuinely interesting and I like the cultural element. These days I spend less time on Facebook than ever but I still find it useful all said and done.
As for the rest of the year? Well hopefully get a little fitter, continue with de-cluttering old stuff, more writing, more travelling, building better friendships and fighting for causes I believe in. Oh and more video games!
Let the adventures begin!
