Make yourself a hot chocolate and Bailey's and settle in to watch the Doctor Who Series Six DVD you got for Christmas.
Decide that as you're taking things easy, you can stay up until midnight, just head to bed very quickly afterwards.
Be halfway through an episode (Let's Kill Hitler by the way) when the new year arrives. Laugh at your cats doing laps around the apartment every time a firecracker goes off.
Once the episode is over, start trolling the internet and find lots of Doctor Who themed pictures.
Yes. Yes, it is.
Well, it's mine at least.
Go to bed at 2AM.
Wake up at 7:30AM and curse the addictive hilariousness of Doctor Who fans.
Watch another Doctor Who episode while you potter about the house.
For the first time in the five years that you've thought about doing it, go to the Government House levée, arriving just in time to be the last person in the receiving line.
Sing 'Auld Lang Syne' with hundreds of other people and the pipe band before making your way to the patio to stare across the Juan de Fuca Straight to the snow capped Olympic Mountains. Remind yourself that you live in a pretty freaking beautiful part of the world.
Laugh as the Lieutenant-Governor 'pays the piper' and then cry while he gives his speech. (In this case, 'pay the piper' means to share a wee dram with the piper who led in the head party.)
Vow to make it to the levée in future years. Next time,
Write a couple of thoughts as to goals for 2012. Set them aside so you can sleep on them some more.
Go to your mom's for dinner. Receive an impromptu guitar lesson. Celebrate your older brother getting even older.
Curl up on your couch with your cats and watch another episode of Doctor Who before bed. Decided that this sentence will stay on your 2012 list of goals:
Best advice I've been given in a long time.
I hope you've all had a wonderful first 24 hours to 2012!
