First Steps

The first half-hour of 2004 saw me at a wonderful party at Das Spooky Haus, on the phone with Elizabeth, who was nice enough to call, having fun with many friends, and drinking a bottle of Gentlemen Jack Jean had given me way too quickly.

Two hours later that bottle, as well as a bit of rum and what remained of my dinner, all made it safely into the upstairs toilet of said building. After hydrating myself a bit, I did the sane thing and passed out in as out-of-the-way place as I could find at the time.

After another two hours I woke up almost completely sober, though with the mother of all headaches. I continued to hydrate myself while chatting with Christiane, Dom, and Katrina for an hour or so, and then pretended to sleep, actually fooling myself into doing it in short bursts for a while.

After a while, we all gave up on sleep and just decided to be silly instead. Eventually, the need for nourishment took over, so at around half-past-noon today we all decided to go to IHOP. Service was, of course, slow, but that allowed much more silliness. Honestly, even with the puking, it turned out to be a pretty excellent beginning to the New Year.

So now, I'm waiting to cap off the day with a vist from Ellen and Elliott, which ought to be a nice big keg of joy. So, this combined with the news of getting a new apartment means that 2004 is definitely starting on a much brighter note than 2003. Let's try to keep it that way, shall we?
