Two Thousand and Nine

Happy 2009! A happy new year it is!

My NYE celebration happened at Mike's place as usual. I got there at 7 to join in on the dinner gathering. I figured I would park on the side of his house so it would be easier to leave later that night. I turned in a street prior to his and lo and behold, I was welcomed with and unpleasant amount of snow to drive through. I had difficulty turning as I kept getting stuck so I kept going straight until I hit the next big street. From the big street I turned into his and when I finally got to his place, his streets were in no condition to park on at all. I saw Pat get stuck coming the other way so I stayed with him until we saw Keith come by to tell us he parked on the big street instead. I took that advise and drove out to park on Granville as well. I walked to his place, sliding on all the black ice possible on the sidewalk, fortunately not PKing.

When I finally got there, it seemed that a number of people were also stuck as well. So after about an hour delay, we finally had food and then started drinking. Surprisingly, time flew pretty fast and midnight approached quickly. Everyone stayed alive for the countdown which was nice. I had a Flaming Dr.Pepper for the first time and it actually tasted like Dr. Pepper like wow! XD It was pretty yummylicious.

At around 1, after a few more shots, we watched Ping-Pong Playa just for the silliness of it (and the fact that it was Ping-Pong, which Eric loves ;b). I started to get a headache about then, so I listened to most of the movie and watched the ending. Man, the main character is fugly.

I stayed until 4am before I knew I was alright to drive. I was then informed that it was snowing again outside. OMG. When I got to my car, there was already a huge layer that formed on my car. I took a while to clean up all the snow that piled up on my car. A lot of sliding occurred on my drive home. When I finally did get home, the neighbour's car blocked my garage and the snow in front of the house was rather high for me to park on. I found a spot in front of another neighbour's place though. I left a note when I got home for my dad to help park my car for me because I knew I wasn't going to wake up the next morning.

I hate you snow.
