And so we march steadily into 2011 with booze, board games, and no one showing up for my party. Chris, Mel (my BFF), and Colin (Mel's boyfriend) hung out at my place with a fuck-ton of booze. Mel's parents are moving soon, so they told us to just go ahead and raid their liquor cabinet. We invited multiple people, and a few of them all showed up at once and then left to go to other parties shortly thereafter. One friend was supposed to come over, but we didn't hear from him until the next day, when he told us he had fallen asleep at 10:30. Lame.
But it was still fun, since we did have enough people for all the games we wanted to play.
I have discovered a hidden talent in Chris: he does HILARIOUS celebrity impressions. Not necessarily GOOD impressions, but they're funny as hell. Eventually we abandoned the board games and just made him do impressions where we had to guess who it was. This evolved into everybody doing them, and much fun was had.
Yesterday Chris and I mostly just recovered from the night before (I, at least, didn't have much recovery to do since I stayed mostly sober). In the evening we went to Boston Store for a huge sale and got him a TOTALLY SWEET peacoat. It was originally priced at $225, but was on sale for $90. I'll have to get a picture of him wearing it at some point, he looks so good!
And now I'm sitting at home, feeling a tad direction-less while I wait for classes to start (which isn't for another 3 weeks). My weekends are going to be busy, since that's when Chris has his days off, but my weekdays may be a bit humdrum. Eh, I'm sure I'll find something or other to occupy my time.
