Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans.
There have been a few events this year, couple of weddings, lots of birthdays and summer gigs.. but one of the bestest nights was Hogmany in Edinburgh.. I know I know.. I'm Irish but it's only a small skip over yonder and we had the BEST time.. I can safely say that the Scots are as good as us at the drinking and craic... and it really brought the new year in officially! We traveled away for new year which we don't normally do... so it had an air of "holiday" about it... it kind of made it official.. and I loved it... the bands on the street.. the festival feel... the ferris wheel ... the countdown... the cold... the strangers kissing at midnight... everyone for those few seconds just forgetting all the shite in the world and the glimmer of hope that the new year will be better than ever before... that the year ahead will be good for us ... and how we feel in that moment is how we will feel all year... singing Auld Lang Syne at the top of your lungs and holding hands with people who all share in that little moment of hope... hot whiskeys ... talking through the night to new found friends... it just rocked... my sparkly little socks off!
