Happy New Year! Last night was a fun night, this year a few of my friends and I decided to lay low and go to a party instead of the downtown/bar thing. Usually I head down for the ball drop, and then go to some bar from there, and this year I did not want to deal with the crowds. I did miss being at the actual ball drop though. It was always fun, even when the weather was not that great. We had plans last night to start out at one party and go to another, but we ended up just staying at the one the whole night. There were the typical drunk people that can not hold their alcohol, and the ones that don't talk that much, but all in all I was fortunate enough to hang out with some old friends and some new cool people. Good times for all, and a safe night for us!

Today was such a great day to sit around and do absolutely nothing in my pjs...unfortunately I had to work, and that ruined my plans. Work was incredibly boring, and I was the lucky one that had to take down the christmas decorations...christmas was just yesterday. Am I really the only one that wants to keep my decorations up until the end of January. I especially love the lights, I believe that they should stay up all year! As for christmas day, it was so nice and relaxing, spending time with the family. Also, I got a new bike...I was so excited, I felt like I was 5 again! I hope that everyone had a great holiday, and now I look forward to new years!

This is my first entry in the elmwood strip journal family...I feel like i have a lot to say, but some how, right now, i am at a loss for words. My work is chaotic, and relationships with friends kind of the same! I am like a combination of sex in the city, and seinfeld. I am a single girl here in snowy buffalo, and i love it. I would not want to be any other way for right now. Currently, i am "hanging out" with about 3 different guys, none of which i want a committed relationship with though. I am having fun, 2 of the guys we just go out every once in a while, and have fun, the other i have now defined us as being in a "committed/noncommitted" relationship. What i have taken from this is that we have committed to one another in that we are only hooking up with each other and no one else, and the noncommitted aspect is that we can still talk to others, but not hook up. It may sound weird, but to me that is all i want from a relationship right now, I don't want that relationship crap that i see so many couples in...i love my freedom!!
