Party in the Bamboo Grove

There was a party at my place this New Years. This was the first time, (I think) that I've really hosted a New Year party.

It was a rather a simple affair although there was a lot of booze floating around. We had a fun time playing "I've never" the drinking game. (A fun game for good friends, you say "I've never *insert activity or whatever* and everyone who has done that must take a drink. You can also say something you've done and merely take a drink after you've finished.) Then there was the countdown and smooching everyone in the room while toasting.

I love having people over and I almost wish I had a bigger house to accommodate them all. I say almost because I like my small house.

Now for New Years Resolutions. I managed to write a novel in 2006. It needs a lot of work but I did it. I need to keep doing that. So 2007 will be the year of the Novel and the Thesis, it will be the year of the Buttercookie. (The USS Buttercookie was the working title of my thesis after it was rejected based on the comment that there would never be a ship named the USS Buttercookie, and so there will never be a thesis named the buttercookie. It made sense at the time, I'm sure.)

I will write until my fingers cannot type another letter. I will write every day and keep my projects in mind while making reading lists. I will do this because I have proved I can.

And now for a parting thought. Dragon Warrior II is hard! I remembered this game was hard but it's totally kicking my ass. This comic really sums it up.
The Defeat spells hurts. It hurts.
