Seeing as I'm likely to be confined to my home for New Year's, for whatever reason he can come up with this time...

Are there any interesting books that someone could suggest? Or a movie I might rent?

My father's idea of "fun" on New Year's Eve is board games, which become rather dull when they're all one-on-one.

So today for lunch, I couldn't decide what to have; eventually I settled on an In and Out burger. It was fantastic. Anyway, giant greasy burgers aside, the day was actually kind of not great.

Found out my father's been hospitalized again for his cancer battle, so that's no fun. Especially right after Christmas. I'm sure he'll battle through it, of course. I'm sure not all of you wanted to read that, just thought I'd update it...that's kind of what this thing's for right?

Anyway, uhm, some good news. I am having some really screwed up dreams, and I'm actually starting to think they might be a bit... more true than previously believed.

Why is it legal for people to drive while talking on their phone, doing their hair, and listening to that annoying shit they call music--and it's not legal for me to run them off the road?

Explain this to me.

I have a girlfriend, apparently. It's quite interesting. Just thought I'd share.

Here is the biggest shock of 2012, ready... Haymitch will not be drinking tonight. Well, okay, nothing more than a celebratory beer because its New Year's Eve. It is my turn to be the designated driver. So if anyone needs a ride tonight let me know and I'll give you my cell number.

Highlight of the year, other than failed politicians, was watching the boy swim in the Olympics. If you thought I was going to say these screwed up dreams you belong in a mental institution. I don't think any of us think the dreams are the best part.

Seems people are already letting off fireworks in the streets in anticipation of the celebrations both later tonight and all week leading up to Epiphany. I always did have a weakness for displays of fireworks.

What I really wanted, was to wish my friends and everyone else a bonne année et bonne santé!

( HAPPY NEW YEAR. )

So I put up 25 points last night in my game. Don't know if there were any scouts in the stands, but if there weren't, i'm sure they're receiving all sorts of videos and calls today about it. So they'll be at the next one.

Uh... my uh parents didn't show up, but I'm sure someone has a video of the game to show them.

In other news, my dumb drummer decided to quit the band because he wants to concentrate on his 'studies'. Still, I guess he wasn't going to be as famous as I'm going to be, so I guess I get it.

I'd like to point out that the Stark New Years Party has been open for a whole 40 minutes without a shooting, so Clint Barton get the fuck down from the rafters already. You're freaking everyone out up there.

He make any moves?

In 2012 I moved away from my home and all of my friends to move to some weird, mad place with my mother.

Yay, I guess. I'm going to stay in and watch the ball drop, I think.

Edit; And now the neighbours are setting off firecrackers. Why? Why do you lot blow things up to show your joy?

I was starting one of those year in review things but I kept getting distracted.

So. 2012. Started out like a bitch and proceeded to be weird, really weird until the end of September when I got let out of jail, got the best boyfriend in the world, got my arm back, and my shooting, made things reasonably okay with Ollie, even though he embarassed the shit out of me on several occasions throughout the year and am actually ending it on a much higher note than when it started.

What a long, strange trip it's been.

I wish that 2013 would automatically cease my 2012 woes. Everyone seems to treat the New Year like it has a great healing power, and I don't know; it'd be awfully handy if it did.

Yet, I don't want to ruin anyone's day. I very much hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable evening. I'll be watching the ball drop myself; I've never done it before, so I might as well see what the fuss is about, after all.

I just ... miss my wife. And I may be slightly inebriated.

So uh... yea, turns out today was a pretty good day.

Just in case you guys were busy or didn't happen to catch the game (for those that care about the outcome), we uh... we won.

Here's hoping there will be no arrests in 2013. That would be ideal.

So, who else is spending the night getting completely pissed? Probably not the best thing to do just after getting out of rehab, but it could be worse.

For those who don't know, my name is Mitchell and I used to be sort of famous.
