Hello, 2003. Please try not to suck.
So - first entry of 2003. Wacky. My New Year's Eve was actually pretty enjoyable, which is the surprise of the entire span of the Earth's history. As I have mentioned many times before, I hate New Year's. But Adam and I hung out and watched the first two
Back to the Future movies and ate Cool Ranch Doritos, and all was well and good. I mean, yeah, there were intermittent moments of badness where I would have liked very much for the entire world to explode and spare me the torment of starting yet another year with yet another clean slate that I'll never, ever fill up, but on the whole it was a good time. I really liked both of the movies, too, which is good and yet bad at the same time. The Good: quality entertainment. The Bad: I am now possessed by a very strong urge to buy the DVD trilogy. You know, with all of the many millions of dollars that I've kept tucked beneath my mattress for the last nineteen and a half years.
Oh, wait, sorry. That was my deluded imagination speaking.
When I got home, around 1 a.m., no one was here. I knew Mason would be gone (he's staying over at a friend's house), but I was surprised by my dad's absence. I thought for a while that he may have taken off to Florida on a whim, as has been his wont since this whole messy separation started. He talked about it the other day, also, so my assumption wasn't entirely random. There was no note or anything, though, and I'd be more than a little bit irked if he just ran off to another state without, at the very least, leaving a note. My annoyance was ended when he came home a bit later, though, so everything is back to normal. Well, normal for this place, anyway.
I'm torn between wanting to watch Buffy and wanting to draw things. Hrm. I should really scan some things while Mason's room is devoid of thumping rap and, well, Mason, but I don't feel like it. How novel, if you don't know me at all. I'll probably draw rather than watch Buffy, though, because... I don't know why. Possible because Buffy requires either a television and a DVD player or a DVD-ROM drive, the later of which I do have, but it's sort of annoying to watch entire TV shows and movies on your computer. I could go into Mason's room and draw while watching Buffy, though. So many options, even when there are really only two.
Ack, why am I writing about this? This is boring and craptastic. What a wonderful way to ring in the new year. Not that I'm much with the ringing in general, by hey. Starting it off with an entry about my inability to choose a leisure time activity is just sad. I was going through some older entries the other day, for some reason or another, and I used to write much more amusing things. I'm not sure exactly where all of my entries became trite and painful to sit through, but it does indeed seem to have happened. Le sigh. If were going to make New Year's Resolutions this time around, bringing up the quality of my entries might be one of them. But I'm not, so it's not. It's probably better this way, actually, because declaring something a resolution is akin to putting it on a "What To Not, Under Any Circumstances, Do" list. A big cosmic joke, that.
Random personal trivia: I am probably the only person in the Western Hemisphere who eats egg rolls dipped in ketchup. I also like to dip pizza in ketchup. Mmm, ketchup. It's my condiment of choice, obviously.
And so, with that, I leave you. Happy New Year, everyone. I hope it brings you much less angst and depression than it brings to me.

Wait, there's more!
