if you're single for New Year's, and you are a little bummed, don't be. in my experience, when you add a partner to a holiday, there is a 99% chance they will screw it up. last thanksgiving: wasn't with anyone, but was being harrassed by bad ex #1 .last christmas: boyfriend at the time came over (which, what the hell? that is family time) and broke the scope on my new, $300+ crossbow. valentine's day: I WAS PRACTICALLY KIDNAPPED (no, seriously, I made a quote about that experience. guy bugged me to go out, I canceled, he showed up anyway, pressured me out, and refused to take me home. HE TOOK ME TO MEET HIS FAMILY. I BARELY KNEW HIM.)
