Happy New Year everyone!

If today was anything to go by, I will be spending 2012 playing videogames and watching films while drinking orange juice out of a champagne flute. I am surprisingly happy with this.

(It's a lot better than what I was actually doing at midnight - I was curled up in bed, terrified, having just been woken up by nearby fireworks. From what I could tell, next door's puppy was just as scared, if not more so, so at least I wasn't alone in that. I really hate loud noises.)

I was also vaguely productive, in that I also did the laundry. Which was practically an all-day job in itself, seeing as it partly involved hand-washing bedsheets - somehow, after three years, I still haven't got the hang of those. Am I a terrible person if the first thing I want to get when I get a job is a washing machine?

Tomorrow, I will be more productive - I will take down the Christmas decorations, clean the bathroom, and generally tidy up. Oh, and maybe remember to actually get dressed rather than staying in my pajamas all day. Or not. I still have the house to myself for a few more days, and I won't be going outside, so I'm not sure it matters much either way.

Happy New Year to you! Bummer to hear about your New Years Eve terrors. I used to be terrified of loud noises too, still really really don't like them but learning to shoot my own handgun kind of helped take the edge off. Especially learning to shoot in an indoor range when there is someone shooting a large, loud Colt .45 in the lane next to me!

Not that I recommend that for a lot of people to get over their fear of loud noises! I had to learn to shoot for my park ranger academy. And for you, it is also probably a reflection on your hearing problems, that would be a big issue in not liking loud noises when you have a hard time hearing even the quieter ones.

Wow! Yeah, I don't think I could do that XD

I've never really liked loud noises, but I used to be able to deal with them pretty well. Now I just end up being a complete mess :(
