Best. New Years. Ever!
I'm sorry I suck at timeliness on posting this, but I needed a few days to compose thoughts to write them down :)
New Years Eve was *awesome*!! Brian and I picked up Chris (his brother) from their folks (he spent the night after Christmas part II). We got breakfast from the Georgia Diner before continuing on into Manhattan to Chris's apartment. Nolan and Julie joined us and we went to The Cloisters.
After grabbing a bite to eat, we parted ways. Brian stayed with Chris, Nolan, and Julie. I hopped on the bus and headed toward kradical's place. There was a really helpful gentleman on the bus that told me when to ring for my stop. For the most part, the sidewalks were clear, until I reached the block where his apartment is, and there was barely a footpath to walk on. Thankfully, I was wearing my snowboots.
I met some really amazing people and had a wonderful time!! Here's some highlights and hilarious quotes (that won't be credited to protect the innocent, and not-so-innocent. However, if you would like to take credit for your quote(s), let me know and I'll add your name to it) from the night:
Met: Tina(karistan), Neal, Danny, Dennis, Laura Anne Gilman, Ian Randal Strock, Nea Dodson ... I know I'm missing at least two people. I suck :(
Clicking almost instantly with karistan
Tina and I determined we were separated at birth, really. We have a lot of the same idiosynchrasies.
"When the bottom fell out of the emu market..."
Wrenn's homemade meatballs and kradical's homemade sauce: Perfect match!
Scooter doesn't know what to do with himself! Becomes area rug...
"Netflix: The Wonder Drug"
New Year's Crackers (these things are weird, but not as weird as the Christmas ones).
"Y'know, you don't usually see this kind of action on a mattress without putting a quarter in."
"Jumper cables, when properly applied, do wonders for stamina!"
"No hamsters, no gerbils, no drain cleaner."
Rang in the New Year with Proseco and blackberries (the actual berry).
She's a pretty pretty princess!!
I meant the previous bullet point in all ways possible!
"Why are you pulling on my toes?"
Became a very melted puddle of kitten. Ear massages are amazing. The Ferengi definitely got something right with that one... Mmmm.. Oomox.
Slept in the library.
Sterling plopped on my feet and didn't budge until I really needed to get up.
Scooter still didn't know what to do with himself, so he slept in the hallway.
Snuggle times for the win!!
Brian finally joined us! Huzzah!!
Brian and I left around 1:30pm with Tina and Neal and went to a really tasty cafe down the road.
Parted ways around 3pm.
I'm not kidding when I say this was the Best. New Years. Ever! Didn't get a kiss at midnight, but that was more than made up for!! :)
And for the record? I'm still floating on Cloud Nine. I *might* tell you all why... if you ask nicely.
