NYE is Awkward. Or Maybe It's Just Me.

We've all been there. Christmas is over and you think, I've made it through another holiday alone. It's smooth sailing from here. And then, just days later, your friends start talking about New Years Eve plans - and you get that small feeling of anxiety in your throat. You can't really put your finger on it, and then it hits you, New Years Eve without a boyfriend is awkward. New Years Eve with a random date is even more awkward.

Every single year, boyfriend or not, I start to panic a little right around December 27th. You HAVE to have plans for NYE. I mean, even if you don't have plans for the 364 days of the year, you must have plans for that night. Must. It's like gospel.



So this year, my girlfriends and I have decided to throw a party at home. A small gathering of our closest friends. Maybe wear some sequins, eat some food, play some games. Ya know. The usual.



I would not complain if there were some hot looking guys there, though, even if I have no desire to awkwardly kiss one of them at midnight. Unless there is wine involved. And then I'll probably blog on Wednesday about how I'm in love.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all about love and NYE. I believe that whatever you are doing on NYE is usually what you are doing for the rest of the year, or something like that. Seriously. But the girls who just got a boyfriend, maybe like a week ago, or even at the beginning of December who are like, "I HAVE to kiss him at midnight, it's fate, otherwise, we will break up and I can blame it all on NYE"




Yeah, blame it on New Years. That's the problem.

I understand that I'm probably the one who is awkward. I know that every girl really wishes they had a guy to kiss on New Years. Sometimes you even end up in tears, drunken tears, that look something like this.




All in all, that is not my intention for this year. I'd rather not start 2013 in tears, or by playing kissy face awkwardly with some guy that I just met.

Unless he has long hair and a beard - and sings country music. If that's the case, don't expect me back blogging in 2013. Some times you have to make sacrifices. I'm sure you'll understand.
