There Was U2, And Blondie, And Music Still On MTV
Welcome to Crew Year's Rocking Eve. Seriously you cannot stand the excitement.
jenybean updating her Facebook status from the party. Because that's how we roll.
Then R came. Thank God.
Laziest. Dancers. Ever.
Rapunzel.
See, now here's the problem. We had opened a bottle of wine, and Beanie had used a little of it to make this neat white sangria that she half-copied, half-invented (and which was very tasty, but that's neither here nor there--and I'm unfairly biased in favor of pink drinks), and then put a stopper back in it to keep the wine...fresh? You can tell how much I know about wine. The problem is that we then could not get the stopper back out.
Then moocowzez arrived. I'm not so much hugging him as I am dangling from his neck like a tie--you can't tell, but neither of my feet are on the floor.
Molestation.
JIZZED. IN, MY PANTS.
They're cousins, in case you're wondering.
It's as if he was forcibly expelling me from his anus.
I then gave him the camera and told him to take pictures. I'm not sure why I thought this was a good idea.
No one in this group ever seems to age. Jesus.
moocowzez seems to like taking pictures of profile pictures of me fixing my hair. (From last year.)
By the way, the wine bottle still isn't open.
We laugh at the men.
Almost got it...
Marvel!
moocowzez decided we needed to know what the inside of my nose looks like, apparently.
WINE. STILL NOT OPEN. WHAT THE FUCK.
"And I say hey, yea, yea, yeah, Hey, yea, yea. I said hey! What's goin' on?"
We seriously did not set up this shot. I often toss my hair back out of the way so I don't end up sitting on it or anything, and more than once it got caught on Santa's hand that night...although this was the first time it happened, hence my horrific expression.
What agent0033 would look like with long brown hair.
And now it's time for: Crissy takes pictures of herself with everybody at the party.
The Goalie's really getting the hang of that fake smile thing.
I look way too happy.
Beanie's hair, makeup, and outfit all looked fuggin amazing--like rockabilly kind of cool. Very sexy.
I'm getting so much better at aiming the camera for self-taken photos. MySpace would be proud.
Okay, couple picture time now.
CYCLOPS. (You know, when you're too close to someone and you open your eyes and it looks like they only have one eye? CYCLOPS.)
Practicing for midnight.
How YOU doin'?
Me and Marvel.
This one came out really dark, unfortunately.
As did this. Who would've thought a basement wouldn't be prime photography surroundings?
I meant to keep the full-resolution version of all of these photos but accidentally saved over the next three, which sucks because this is the one I really wanted a big-size version of the most. FULL ON POUT!
Group photo! Somehow, we haven't thought to do one of these every year. That was dumb. And thanks for including perverted Santa, Marvel. Really appreciate that.
As you can see we got the wine open at some point.
I swear that's a normal cigarette.
Marvel likes girlie drinks!
...ah, who am I kidding. Marvel likes all drinks.
You can tell it's after midnight, both because people are taking the party hats off, and because they're starting to die in the corners.
I guess they're not drunk; the room really IS spinning!
The end! See you all next year!
In other news, I updated Blood, Sweat, and Glitter today. I updated my Convention Schedule for 2009, added one CG to Hino Rei - Dreaming Dress, and two CGs on Umi Ryuzaki - Other Worlds.
Let's talk for a moment about that Convention Schedule page. You'll notice that the New York Comic Con is next, and is coming up fast, and I really do want to plot with people as I'm only cosplaying Saturday and I have no idea what to wear, but we'll save that for another day.
First note: no Katsu. Which is too bad, because I had a REALLY good time last year, and it was relatively inexpensive, but it's actually ON Valentine's Day this year. Marvel doesn't want to spend his Valentine's Day at a con, and I don't want to spend Valentine's Day without Marvel, so there goes that.
Second note: no Otakon. I'm hoping and praying that this isn't permanent, but here's the deal. Marvel is tired of Otakon being our ONLY vacation EVERY year, and while I'm obviously not, I can't say that I blame him. So Otakon is not completely out of the question, IF we manage to take a real, non-con-or-cosplay related vacation before then, AND if we have enough money. We'll see. I'll do my best, but I don't want to get anyone's hopes up (not even my own). I can always add it to the schedule if it looks like I'm going to be able to pull it off.the
