the last day of 2006

i don't know how to make of this day, and i wonder what others make of it. i guess they'll either spend today with their families, or with their friends, and i wonder how many tortured souls would there be who have to choose between their friends and their families. oh well.

just yesterday, i received an invitation to go for a countdown, and i accepted it, and so i made my tortured decision, to spend today with my friends, ushering in this ritual known as the 'countdown', a ritual i consider to be............ really just a little more than a commercial gimmick. whats the thing with countdowns, i don't get it. if the romans were around, they would probably think we're celebrating the festival of dionysus or bacchus, named after the gods of pleasure. seriously.

i'm not sure how i'm going to relate to these kinds of events - i seriously don't care, and i think i'm going to be kinda detached when i go into the event space. i don't think i'm that kind of person, strangely, i don't respond to the stimuli of deep bass loud music and flashing lights - gives me headaches though. so yeah. i really don't know... but i'll find out...
