Requisite '06 post
So here I am. I'm here, I'm queer, get used to it.
Well ok, my New Year wasn't quite that revolutionary, but it was still awesome.
First, let's talk about this past '05. It was way too eventful. I think back and remember that this time last year, I hadn't even gotten engaged to Elaine yet. It had barely become a thougt. And now, I've been through the engagement, the breakup and everything that followed it, plus two relationships since, and the one that I'm in now, which has shocked the shit out of me by becoming unspeakably dear to me in only two weeks.
This is all not to mention the losing of my job and backsliding to Cinemark (but rediscovering my happiness); the moving out of my apartment, moving in with my mom, and finding this incredible house with Marty; the death of two Grandmas; the birth of the family's first baby in over a decade; the engagement of my brother and three pairs of my friends; and of course, the whole impending law school thing.
Not to mention, the movies: Batman, Star Wars, Serenity, War of the Worlds, Kong, Narnia, Harry Potter, 40-Year-Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, Waiting and Sin City. And who could forget the music? Fall Out Boy, Dave, My Chemical Romance, Black Eyed Peas, Butch Walker? The comics... Ultimates, House of M, Decimation, Infinite Crisis, Book of Lost Souls!
All of this has been just too much action and too much maturing for me in '05, and I find myself praying for a far less eventful year to come. I happen to really like the track my life is on right now, and I want it to continue. But I guess that's too much to hope. [shrug]
My New Year's Eve was pretty damn good. I spent it with awesome people, and though not everyone could be there, I was happy. I was with someone special, and at the moment after the ball dropped, I looked around and realized I couldn't remember the last time my life felt so perfect. Had I been Angel, my sould woulda been audi. Don't believe me? Ask Kristin... and I want to thank all of you for being so special to me. Not just people who were there, but anyone reading this... thank you. You all mean a lot to me.
Anyway. For once, I made a New Year's Resolution. I don't usually, because I believe if you intend to do something, you should just do it. But I made a resolution this year, and predictably, it didn't even last past the ball dropping. I tried to quit smoking, and in the end decided I just don't wanna.
Then today, Martin and I went to Best Buy and picked up a sweet new audio system for movie-watching. We tested it out on Serenity with the Bills, and I thought it rocked. Martin's a little skeptical, but for $1800, who wouldn't be?
Blah, blah, blah... THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART.
Now that the New Year's party's come and gone, it's time to discuss our housewarming party... I bet you all thought you got off the hook with the Potluck, eh? Well, no such. We need to have a party party. And I'm thinking either Friday the 13th or Saturday the 14th. I need to know if this is a good weekend, or if the one following (20th and 21st) would be better. If you're reading this, you're probably invited. Ask if you're not sure, but I want everyone there.
I know not everyone will be able to do the same night, so I need to figure when will work for the most people. When I get a more definite answer, I will repost with more details. I can tell you right now that it looks to be a keg deal - we'll be providing, though any donations would be gladly accepted as I (and now, I suppose, Martin as well) am brokeass. Anything besides beer will be BYOB, unless we happen to have a bit of liquor floating around... but don't hold your breath.
GOD, I can be so long-winded. But I only post once every few never, so whaddya gonna do? Anyway, hope you enjoyed at least one sentence of this, and get back to me on the par-tay.
