Ted rents a limo for all his friends and plans this amazing New Years Eve trip to five parties. Well, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong and everyone is left to improvise the night.
Barney is extremely right that NYE is the signal biggest letdown of the year. Every year we want things to be perfect, and we chase it only for it to get away from us. I’ve pretty much decided NYE is now just another day, with no real reason to celebrate. Nothing turned out the way I wanted to on the two NYE’s that mattered, and I still never got my NYE kiss.
There’s one line in the episode that I always think is so great, it’s when Ted says, “All night I was trying to chase something down and it was right there in that limo.” That’s really how I feel about my life. Running and searching for someone but they’re always right around you. I wrote a post about this and only one person really seemed to have gotten what it was referring to. Really I’m referring to the fact we’re always constantly searching for something so perfect, and we always never realized until way later that what we were looking for was right there next to us the whole time. Even if it’s just a piece of paper or even the person you were meant to be with, we’re just so blind when we’re searching so hard. I haven’t been keeping to my no looking rule this year, and I should probably get back to it soon. It’ll help me focus more on myself and when I do find what I’m looking for, it’ll be perfect timing.
But Ted is right, not every night has a happy ending, everything is always leading somewhere. So our story continues…
(Btw, 2006 was a big year, but 2007 was way bigger for me)
