As everyone else has been saying, but with a slight Kat flair: HAPPY FREAKIN' 2009!
Continuing the tradition I've done for a few years now...the random stats of myOtaku/World:

Average/week: 3.8
Up from...91 posts last year. XDDD WOW.
Last night...last night was something else. Work was actually kid of cracktastic. We had three shifts; 4:30, 6:30, and 8:30. First went on without a hitch, the second had a bit of a hiccup since the boss decided to sit people early and we weren't stocked for it, and the third went well except we were just so bloody tired.
The waitresses all brought in a bunch of food, so we had chips dip and crackers and grapes and cheese and cookies and chocolate-covered confections...Oh, and it was all put in the back room where the bus kids are. XD; We had lots of downtime due to how everything was shifted out, so we ended up eating a lot of it.
Totally random factoid: "bus" is short for "omnibus". Meaning "man or boy who assists a waiter at a restaurant". NOW YOU KNOW!
Anyways, we were told that all drinks and meals were on the house, except that the former really means nothing since we get free sodas anyways. It meant something for the waitresses, though. After the last table left and we screamed in celebration, we all sat at the bar and had drinks. Well, obviously, not me. No, I had two kiddie cocktails. XDD Finally got to leave at 10:30, got home before 11, cleaned up a little, and hopped over to Waffles's house.
Soda, video games, television - that's what all of our parties are. XD Counted down to midnight and celebrated and just generally did what we always did...Played Guitar Hero and Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, tried to invent drinking game with Ginger Ale and Pepsi [didn't really work]. I came home around 3 and ended up Skypeing with one of my friends until 5. XDD
OH OH. OH OH OHO OHHHH!
My band director is now a daddy! 8DD It's a boy, named Aiden, and he was born last night at 10:33. As my mom said "Oh good, they got their tax write-off in time!" X3; I squeed in delight, and now I'm totally going out and buying adorable baby things for them. Oh yeah, and diapers.
Welcome to the world, Aiden. You've got quite a life ahead of ya.
Once again, Happy New Years guys.
