annabtgHappy New Year, f-list! Hope you have/had a great evening! I did - we went over to some friends' and had a good time.
Now, ironically enough, the reason I'm posting this is to say that I'm not really into these 'obligatory' posts. You must have noticed I don't do the birthday posts, and I only did a Christmas one because I felt kinda bad not to - particularly since I was PMSing, so I knew there would be a lot of bitching following and a festive post would make me feel less guilty about it. So, from now on, expect me not to post for specific occasions unless I really, *really* feel like it.
But, since I'm here, I should mention one anniversary I'm celebrating in exactly 37 minutes from now.
So last year, we had stayed home for New Year's Eve. I had been online all day, and, at some point late in the afternoon (or early in the evening), I stopped by a HP fanfic recommendations thread, which recommended a story titled "Obsessive Lily Disorder" by some author that went by the nickname "Procrastinator-starting2moro". I went over, started reading, made an obligatory stop at midnight to celebrate with my family a bit and cut the vasilopita (Greek tradition - a pie you cut after the year has changed. There's a coin hidden inside and whoever gets the coin in their piece, will have good luck for the whole year.), then went back to reading. And after I was done reading, I reviewed. When I was done with the review, it was 3.37 a.m., 01/01/2006.
That's how and when I first met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
incoherent_me. And meeting her on such an easy date is the only reason I remember exactly *when* I met her, because I'm not the kind of person to keep track of when I met whom :p And, no, I didn't remember the hour - but I went back to find the review, in case I was somehow mistaken about the date. The date reads 31 December, because FF.net works on a US timezone, but it was 1 January over here, and I had happened to mention in the review that I was reviewing at 3.37 a.m. :p So there you go.
It's practical to meet people on 1 January. So later you can calculate exactly how long you've known them. :D
Anyways, that's all from me. Have a super time, and all the best for the new year.
Anna. :)
