New Years 2008 Memories
Along with the hundreds of pictures we took, that can be observed on my Myspace, there were many other memories made as we rang in 2008 in style:
~Joining the Amtrak Express Club and screaming "Hump me! Hump me! Hump me!" for a little boy to overhear as he colored pictures right outside of the train bathroom.
~"The banyay! Get the banyay!" Or badet, or potty, whatever it was.
~"We're in the freaking Waldorf!!!" as I jump up and down clapping
~The last pictures before we left for Times Square being of Candy and I and the mini bar. If we got lost, we'd need search fliers, and they'd say "Please help bring these alcoholics home."
~My last meal of 2007 was a 15 dollar plate of potato skins from TGI Fridays. And I ate all but two bites.
~Standing in the most quiet crowd of people for 8 solid hours without moving more than a few feet.
~Times Square sucks at cell phone service.
~The ball looks like a dot. And you couldn't even see it at midnight becuase of the fireworks and confetti. It was still awesome.
~Around 11:30, people started to get ancy. Including this group of... I don't even know where they were from. But they were singing, and screaming, in their foreign tongue, and I got so annoyed. I would turn around and scream at them lines like "If you don't shut up, I'm going to go freaking NUTS!!!" But they couldn't understand me. Candy later said she's never seen me that aggravated in the 17 years we've been besties.
~Right after midnight, I got separated from Candy and Mike. I wandered around Times Square for a few minutes, and then called them. "We're in front of the T-Mobile." "Really? So am I" I never would have found them. We were only about 15 feet away from each other. Scariness.
~I crawled around the gutters of Times Square picking up real-life confetti and ran into a dead animal in doing so. Kept right on going.
~Fell asleep at 1:15 and woke up at 11:30. Slothiness to start the new year.
~First meal of the new year was one of NYC's finest pizza shops. When they paged our table for "Beard" they definitely called us "Bread" and now Mike Beard is called Mr. Bread. We posed insanely with our pizza, and Mr. Bread stated a famous line, "No, really, we come here all the time"
~Then we went to Little Italy. Somehow, Italy, with all it's Gestapo was much friendlier than China Town. I bought the most expensive cannoli on Earth from a real Italian, and then got sensual with it on the subway.
~We wandered around being tourists, and stopped at Rockefeller Center's ice skating rink, and they were playing Boxcar Racer. <3
~And then we went out. And I can't even mention the things that happened. We'll sum it up by saying "unfortunate situations" in the streets of NYC and the Waldorf Astoria. That I loved.
~Mike sent us the most beautiful text message from the restrooms of FAO Schwarz..."make way for hazmat."
~We explored Times Square looking for the Naked Cowboy so I could have his lovechildren. And when we were unsuccessful, we ate at a restaurant, where he was on tv being sued by his live in girlfriend? It was insane. Mike was a champ for taking a picture.
~The final stop of the trip was to Tiffany's. We bought friendship jewelry, and I love it insanely.
~Candy almost barfed because of the heinous smell on the elevator is the subway. I can hardly blame her
Pretty much, the best start a year has ever had. I thank the beautiful Candy and Mike so much for the company they provided!!!
As I had rather predicted, Candy and Mike split up two days after we got back. So she is currently living with me. We'll probably be getting an apartment together in a couple months.
