Well, I've returned from my long break to the world of blogging. Why you ask? Damned if I know...

I rejoin you at the end of the year, when Christmas has just finished and now people are looking forward to doing some crazy shit for NYE 2009, as the youngsters call it now. Someone told me that they're planning on attending a party where everyone arrives at a certain destination, is blindfolded, packed onto a bus and then driven to a secret location, where the party actually takes place. Can you imagine that happening in London?! I wouldn't like to think where you'd end up after allowing a stranger to blindfold you and drive you somewhere...

So New Year's Resolutions are going to be the hot topic now, as people vainly promise that they'll get fit in the new year, or stop watching telly as often. How many times I've told myself that this year will be different, but I'm sure this year WILL be different... I don't know what I'll promise to do yet, but whatever it is it's going to be very easy. What are your plans, out there in the real world? Even thought about it?

Personally I'm more excited about New Year's Eve. Christmas is all well and good, but it lacks the sheer "get wasted and do weird stuff" spirit that comes with NYE. Not that that's a morally good thing by any stretch of the imagination, but you only live once. Well, unless you're Hindu of course, then you might get another crack at it. ANYWAY, I'd just like to sycophantically wish everyone a great New Year's Eve, and a great new year for that matter, until it gets to February and everyone gives up hope.

I've felt very removed being at university. I still get the news, but not having a television seems to remove me somewhat. I didn't feel very Christmassy at all this year; usually, from November I have the T.V. harping away at me, making me want to buy things and filling me with festive cheer, but not this year. I didn't even hear much of the music, so when it came to Christmas it was quite a shock. The highlight though had to be the Dr. Who episode - what on Earth (and beyond) is going on?! Return of the Time Lords? Exciting stuff. The geek in me revelled in the possibilities of what this could mean. But what it does signify is the end of David Tennant's stint as the Doctor, which is a shame, as I liked him in many different and disturbing ways. So here's to you chap, you will now only ever be remembered as the Doctor, however your career pans out.

Well, I've taken up enough of your time, until the next one, enjoy yourselves irresponsibly.
