does he know where your lips begin

Hiya! I celebrated the New Years Eve at Marble's, which I also did 2012/2013. It was lovely! Marble made a fantastic meal consisting of things I cannot pronounce properly. She's a great hostess, and she always manages to make the most exquisite things, whatever it may be. I had two helpings, and then she'd made pavlova, which was gorgeous. I actually think I had four pieces of that, yep. I don't consider myself a big cake fan, however, if you present me with a cake I do like, I'll eat like a champ. Whilst deciding whether to hit the town or not, there were a few drinking games. And because I've actually not been drinking much alcohol during the holiday, I felt the alcohol in each drop. But then again, we did have a bit of aquavit which contains about 40% alcohol by volume. We ended up staying at Marble's instead of going out, much to Marble's dismay. Poor her, none of us wanted to take the trip into town. But in the end I think she (or all of us) realised it was the better choice, as we all seemed to be quite exhausted. Obviously, Marble and Ale had been preparing the food and everything. Kiwi had been travelling from home. And I had been shopping. Ha, I had six hours of sleep, because we were supposed to do an early shopping trip. We didn't go to my local mall, but another. Which was great, because there were a lot less people. Also, rather than following the whole entourage, I went a bit off by myself. So this time, after being at the mall a hundred times after Christmas, I actually bought myself something. I ended up with two jumpers-- I did want to get this skirt I was looking at. But there were just something keeping me from loving it. And apparently I've turned all sensible (said no to a McDonalds meal twice this holiday, and apart from New Years Eve, I've not had much alcohol), and when in doubt (with shopping), I don't buy it. I also tried on this camel coloured coat. I've been wanting one, because I just find them elegant. And whilst watching Christmas vlogs, one of the people I watch was wearing one, and it just looked to bloody nice. Albeit he's a guy, and he's loads taller than me. Anyway, after the meal and drinking games, we had a go on a board game, which no one won, as the questions were far too hard. And then we played a game that I suck at, as Kiwi nicely said to Ale. And as per usual, I placed last. Nevertheless, it's always a fun game to play, as it's interesting to see what your brain can come up with. We all had a bit of tea before we watched a film before bed. We felt asleep at 5:00 am, and then we woke up at 11:00 am. So again, six hours of sleep. Except the evening before was quite tiring. So I've been quite knackered all day. I walked home from Marble today, which takes me about half an hour (or less, depending of my pace). I did say yesterday, that one of our resolutions should be to be healthier. Not necessarily to drop certain unhealthy things and go in full exercise-modus. But simple things like taking the stairs rather than the elevator, and likewise. And it was still fresh in my memory when I awoke today, hence my walk home. Also, I feel like I've not walked around in ages, like we've just been driving to the mall everyday, rather than walking despite the short distance. It was rather refreshing to walk home, and I was listening to Adele and pondering about thoughts and praying that Scott, one of Lynx's dogs, will be found. The latter has been gone for about two days, and he's so tiny and fragile. And it's so strange to think about how a little dog like him can take up so much space in your heart. I literally can't think about it too much, because I'll start crying. It must be so strange for my sister and her family and the other dog. I can just imagine David yelling their names, and that one is missing. Right, I'll have to stop writing, or well, tears will be spilling down my face. When I got home, I sat down in the sofa and chilled for a bit, before I finally started cleaning, and bringing my things from the basement back to my bedroom. I've been sleeping in the basement for twelve days, so it's nice to have my bedroom back. When I finally was done cleaning, I ate leftovers from yesterdays festivities at home. Also helped myself a slice of cheese cake. My goodness, if I keep going on like this, I'll surely die. It's good I got a yoga mat for Christmas then, so I can do a bit of exercising. Volla left to seek warmer places this morning, so now it's only Lumba left. He's leaving on Friday, so I intend to spend a bit time with him before he leaves as well. Tomorrow I have school, which sucks. Because it means I'll have to start preparing for a new "praksis", which I've been dreading. Oh well, it's officially 2014, and it scares me more than I'd like to think. It's just so strange to think that it's just one year left until most of the millennium goals are supposed to be achieved. I can remember reading about them for a test a few years ago, and thinking it was so long until 2015. I hope the year will turn out good, and that I don't do too much stupid things. Ha.
