WELCOME TO 2010, bitches!!!! I did a video, of course. Videos are the new writing. I’m not sure why we’re wasting all this time teaching our small children to spell when they could be learning how to use iMovie. (They’re never going to learn to spell anyway.)
New Year’s Eve was a blast. I woke up suuuuper late and still hadn’t bought an outfit, so I hit the mall, which was completely insane. There was so much demand on the credit-card processing companies that pretty much everyone’s credit machines went down, so lines to buy anything were like half an hour long. However, I was determined to purchase something cheap, hyper-sexual, sparkly and utterly devoid of class and dignity. I think we can all agree that I succeeded:
Ohhhh yes. Thanks to Forever 21, that is what I wore ALL NIGHT LONG. That is what I wore to the Melting Pot, where we had dinner among rich old people and an insanely drunk old man sitting at the bar. The food at Melting Pot was AMAZING, and, although our waitress was very sweet, the service generally sucked. It took like 45 minutes to get drinks. That’s the last time I do a NYE dinner there, although I might swing by again for chocolate fondue. This is me posing with my chocolate fondue:
Dipping a cream puff in chocolate fondue and then eating it is like what our world would be like if our mouths could have orgasms.
I was designated driver, so after dinner I made everyone go back home with me to pick up Leo so that he could come to the house party. He had to come to the house party because he had an outfit and it needed to be debuted. Leo’s New Year’s ensemble was, per usual, furnished by the good folks at Build-a-Bear, who have been kind enough to create teddy bears with chest dimensions eerily similar to my chihuahua’s:
The house party was awesome, and very low-key. Last year, it was just one out of the FIVE New Year’s Eve parties we hit. I’m glad we just did one this year, because I was pretty exhausted and stressed. It was nice just to be around a small group of people I’ve known forever and who mean the world to me. We ushered in the new year with hugs and love all around, hung out for another hour or so, and then made (seriously) a loop around the Phoenix metropolitan area dropping everyone off back home. Next year, I’m charging for this shit. :)
Tomorrow, I hop back in the car and drive to San Diego, where I’m going to spend the weekend with two of my best girlfriends in the world. Neither of them came home to Arizona this year, and it was kind of depressing not having them around. It’s weird how we’re all so grown up with our own lives now, and people don’t necessarily come back to Arizona for the holidays. So I am really, really, REALLY looking forward to time with them. I’m also really sad about leaving Arizona, but I’m sure I’ll be happy once I’m settled in Seattle and into my groove out there once again. Happy and cold.
