MY NEW YEARS

So the plan is to hang out with my two best friends, and go to another friend's party where there are three single girls we are to meet (friend 1 has a gf, but just coming along) Sounds good.

Friend 1 bails. Apparently he and his girlfriend just broke up and he's going to be talking to her all night on the phone. I know, doesn't make sense to me either... but he wouldn't lie to me.

Friend 2 bails. Sort of. He wanted to bring 12 friends to a party where I didn't know anyone. I said no. He said he's staying with his friends. Whatever.

Go to the party alone... it's alright, I know friend HH and her new boyfriend that I like.

Get there, and chat it up with HH's friends, HH, her boyfriend, and others... good time.

End up really clicking with one of HH's friends. Like, really clicking. Apparently HH was trying to hook us up. She's got good taste. This girl is the perfect body type, and has a hilarious, goofy sense of humor. Awesome! I got the digits, and she seemed really interested.

Took HH home, she's a really good friend and it was great to talk to her. She gives me a VERY unexpected kiss as I leave (she knew I wanted a new years kiss and that it didn't happen). It was sweet, and totally a friend thing.

On the way home, barely avoided a head on collision with a drunk driver. You read right. Fucking asshole almost killed me. Coming straight at me in the wrong lane, I barely had time to swerve because there was a car in front of me and I didn't see it until it was almost too late.

So, cop instinct (dad's an officer), I pull a U-turn, got that fucker's plate #, found a cop and reported it. I hope they got 'em and he spends his new years in a 10 x 10 cell with a big fat guy who thinks he's got a purdy mouth.

And here I am, 3 AM and feeling good that I met an awesome girl. I have no dellusions of starting anything now... but it makes me feel really good to connect with someone so quickly. She's an awesome girl and I'm really hoping to keep up a friendship... who knows, maybe there's something there in the future... there were fireworks.
