happy new year, happy new year

did you know that it was 2010 already??

i mean, i knew yesterday was new year's eve. i knew because i was complaining to my family about how i think it's pretty stupid to celebrate it. today is just like yesterday and just like tomorrow... just with a different year tacked on at the end. i also think new year's resolutions are some of the stupidest things ever. why do you have to make such a big deal about resolving to do the same things every year that you know you most likely not end up doing? and i really dont see why the mail can't be delivered today. what are you going to be doing on new year's day? (according to my sister, recovering from hangovers.) my mom was also saying how stupid it is to wish someone a happy new year. you're really wishing someone happiness for a whole year?? that's a tall wish. wish them a good day, okay, but a year? don't we just sound like a delightfully cheery family?

so i knew it last night, but this morning, when i saw mention of 2010 everywhere i was shocked. 2010 was going to be a big year for me... kinda like 2006. 2010 was when i was going to graduate, which i guess is technically still true even though i finished school in 2009. 2010 was when the real world was going to start, though i pushed that back a couple of years for grad school. 2010 was going to be when all the pieces magically fell into place and i would know what i wanted to do with the rest of my life. i'm still just as lost as ever, and today, i'm okay with that.
