UPDATE EDIT:I am in love with the new Darkness album, "One Way Ticket To Hell And Back", especially the title track. I remember when kick ass music like this swirled in MY head. Buy it or steal it now!
OK, so, still late on the update.
BUT!
I'll give you some juicy New Year's Eve party pics.
I was initially going to go downtown with the SGAustin people, but getting back home drunk and without city bus service....well, it put a dent in my enthusiasm. I'm already having enough of a shitty week and if I can't vent, I really don't want to try.
Luckily, I met Priscilla earlier this week (a roommate's GF), and as I was moping about she pounded on my door and insisted that I come with her. There's lots of free drinks and food, and her friends-while not "the sort of people I'd talk to"-were good people, and etc. She'd be coming back here afterwards, so I'd have a way home. Um, wait, coming back here AFTER, as in drunk driving? Well, you sold me on the idea already, but the need to be a designated driver took over and I became obligated to go. I can't let her or anyone drive like that. I can get enough in at once to get tipsy and be cool by the time we had to leave. Alright, let's ride!
These are but a sample of the pics, as I was doing much drinkage it was hard for me to shoot, so I must wait until Rikki sends me her pictures. She's got some classic shots of Kevin, I tell you, and a great one of me draining a sour apple tequila bottle straight.
Here's RikkI and her camera, and some drunk asshole!
You can't really tell from these shots, because I took so few, but once Rikki's get to me, you'll see that there is not a single pic of Priscilla where she isn't holding a new drink. She got a bit toasted.
Here are some other random people from the party...
The New Year came through the door with a smile on her face...
This guy....
....was alright at first, but once the music discussion began, he tried to appeal to my taste for over an hour without really knowing anything about what he was talking about. Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember the Beatles performing "Mrs. Robinson", or Led Zepplin writing "Highway To Hell", etc. At least I got him on King's X....
This awesome guy....
...made all our drinks for us and kept our glasses full. Incredible bartending skills.
And look! I wasn't completely lonely, aside from meeting new people I had the Token Black Guy there to keep me, the Token White Guy, company!
Together we managed to say things that completely removed us from anyone else-how many other drunks discuss air pressure in water guns, or translating German card games?
By 3ish in the morning, Kevin was tired and still tipsy, because he didnt stop drinking until....yea. Many hours after he was supposed to stop.
So it was decided that breakfast was needed, and Carl needed company since he did New Years pretty much alone. So we called him, kidnapped him, and off to IHOP we went.
....well, it wasn't that simple. "I can't go to breakfast, man, I'm broke." Yes, Carl, knowing that you're broke do you really think I'd invite you to breakfast without intending to pay? "Well, I've already eaten..." We're going to IHOP, come share some pancakes! "....you twisted my arm. Alright!"
And though she wasn't at the party, I want to share the neatest chicka I've met recently. She's hooking me up with a sweet tattoo artist. The girl in question is Tina!
Several hours later, we finally depart the IHOP and head home for some well deserved drama. Roommates were up and waiting-apparently there was some concern that something was going on behind his back with Priscilla and I...
Long story short, it got worked out fine.
New Year's Resolution:be more selfish. I've been abused enough. It's time for me to get what I want for a change. I still won't get what I want, but I'm going to try.
Been listening to much Foo Fighters lately....
Lately, I've been living in my head
The rest of me is dying for the truth
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I cant choose
Has someone taken your faith?
It's real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You must die to heal
OK, so, still late on the update.
