Started off the New Years with an awkward emotion. How many people can say that? I believe those that worked NYE could relate. Or those that were a third wheel to some couples out there.
So I went to the venue, eM, around 8:30 p.m. See the set up and look at the stage I was assigned for the night. Met up with the other gogo, Kaya, and started changing into our Astronaut themed silver star struck outfits. DJ Onza started the beginning of the night with all my favorite songs. It was difficult to not try to dance in the middle of the floor with no one there. So.. I got the other girl to dance with me. 8) haha Few minutes in people started arriving, being taken to each of their sections, then I knew it was show time!
The night was exciting vibrant and full of energy. I was on my stage, next to the dance floor, with the perfect view of the dj stage that had a projection of the final countdown to 2011. I took a shot with the entire staff prior to the event opening then danced the night away. Started off earlier than I had hoped, but had my personal water boy to assist me. lol Anyways, so there’s 45 seconds till midnight. I’m excited and hyped jumping and screaming while counting down the last seconds of 2010. Then once it was midnight and everyone yelled, “Happy New Years!!!” And grabbed the person next to them and started kissing and hugging everyone around them, I was on my stage watching. Yep! Just watching and starring off into the walls pretending all the people around me were not doing the whole hugging and kissing thing infront of me. lol With an awkward feeling of the, “oh.. ok. welp.. yeah!” Then continued to dance. It was almost sad in a way. Didn’t think that would have effect on me, but it did. It’s like an example of if the entire world had someone, but me, type of feeling rushing through me at just that one moment. But I’m sure I wasn’t the only one that felt like that around the world. Had a few handshakes and hugs after and got back to work and danced my ass off. Just glad that was over with. Think next year I’ll celebrate it, instead of working.. lol Just thought I’d share. 8)
