Nuovo anno migliore mai!

This may not be saying a lot because my previous 3 New Year's were spent a) babysitting several small children and b) teaching myself card tricks while sitting in the corner at one of my parents' tennis friends' parties but this New Years has been the BEST. NEW YEARS. EVER.
Indeed. Would you like to know why? I can't tell if you answered yes or no, so I'm going to go ahead and tell you, in handy list form (just a note, for those that do not know I spent New Year's at a party with Aimee and her brother):
1. I did not spend it a) babysitting several small children and b) teaching myself card tricks while sitting in the corner at one of my parents' tennis friends' parties.
2. The helpful presence of alcohol, specifically my dear friend Mr Bottle of Smirnoff.
3. Finally, after 2 and a half years of grudge-baring confronting Matt aka my first kiss aka Mr Rumor-spreader about things I shall not delve into. He apologised so I decided to spare his genitals the wrath of my foot.
4. Meeting, dancing with and being kissed by (in that order) a guy called Travis who looked like Jonathan Rhys Meyers. If you asked me to tell you any more about him I couldn't, because that is all I know about him. Did I mention that said kiss lasted 45 minutes and continued through the countdown, Aimee trying to drag me away and several people saying 'Hey Travis. Travis! I'm going home. Travis? OK see you later.' Not so great, trying to hide resulting hickey from my parents.
5. Aimee getting drunk and making out with a guy I've known since Primary school. I didn't actually witness it, I was, uh, busy (see #4).
6. The following exchange: Aimee: Oh my god, I can't believe you made out with Matt Damon! Myself: Um, I didn't make out with Matt Damon. Aimee: (Angry) Yes, yes, you did! Don't lie, I saw you! Myself: Fine, I made out with Matt Damon. (Not so great, Aimee throwing up moments later)
7. Aimee waking up in the middle of the night and peeing on her bedroom floor. Unbelievably gross, I know, but I am going to be able to hold that against her for the rest of her life.
8. Chatting with Aimee's brother about paintball while watching Numb3rs. Never really had a conversation with him before, even when we were sort of dating (read, liked each other but to childish to make a move) when I was 14.
9. My personal favourite, making out with Aimee's brother while watching Numb3rs (Numb3rs, is there anything it can't do?). And then making out in his room. And then, um, other things. Very good things.
10. Aimee's reaction the next day when I told her what happened. 'YOU DID WHAT!?!?!' Hee, classic.

And so endeth the best New Year's Eve ever. It may never be beaten. I suspect not, given the awesomeness of #9. Seriously, I haven't stopped smiling in like, 4 days.

Disclaimer: Let it be known that I do not regularly a) kiss complete strangers or b) make out with two guys on the same night. This was a strictly one time thing. Also it totally wasn't my fault, they both started it, I swear. I think it was the cowboy boots. Guys seem to like my cowboy boots.
