i've spent many new years alone. i actually... don't mind it. or... there are moments where i do realize i'm alone on new years and then i feel pretty miserable... but mostly i'm pretty good at forgetting that it even is new years.
what gets me is people asking what i'm doing for new years / what i've done. that is harder for me. lie? have people feel sorry for me (because of their expectations mostly).
i had poached eggs for breakfast on christmas day. i don't cook usually (shared kitchen) but since i'm housesitting and have the house to myself... but i wouldn't tell other people that because that is probably usual / typical for them.
i hate social pressure...
i particularly hate this time of year (because it is the very worst) for it.
at least birthdays vary according to individual so it isn't so terribly noticable just to bail on that one...
