life, the universe, and donna

It’s 2006. So far, I like 2006.

I just woke up. My blearily half-asleep brain looked in the direction of my window and thought, “It’s dark. I’m going back to sleep.” The starting-to-wake-up part of my brain reminded myself, “Uh… you went to sleep about 3 hours after it got light.” Right.

Had an absolutely brilliant night. And morning. Most of it is a blur — I have no idea what order most of the following went in. Had one friend tell me he loved me, which took me by surprise, but then realized… oh right, he’s on e. Aw, that’s so cute. The e loves me. Kissed more people than a dementor, but without the soul sucking part. Got a wonderful back massage with the worlds best body butter stuff — handmade by someones mother, it smelled like cotton candy and felt divine.

At midnight, Yvonne handed out noisemakers. The first one she gave me was a dud. I yelled, “No matter how hard I blow, nothing happens!” The response from someone or another was of course the standard, “I’ve heard that one before…”

Somehow found myself getting a spanking sometime around 3am. Tried calling Chris around 8am, as I was rather, erm, wanting something, but his phone was turned off. Mentioned it to another friend, and he filled in nicely… until someone else came downstairs and said to my partner, “If you want a ride, we’re leaving now.” Well, rides are good, so the rude interruption wasn’t all bad. As it turns out, various people who live near me were on their way out the door, too … so I cabbed with them. Still, interruptions make the baby watermelon cry.

My voyeurism got a healthy dose of “ooh, that’s hot.” Pretty girls who don’t wear clothes should be more plentiful. The world needs more parties where random people wander around naked.

One of the few people who wasn’t on anything. On the way home, Cab Companion A (CCA) says to Cab Companion B (CCB), “Well, the good news is everyone feels as bad as you do right now.” I piped up with, “Not me! I feel great!” CCA said, “You’re not hungover?” Nope. Muahahha. This whole not being a drunken fool is fabulous.

Cab let me off at CCB’s apartment, which is a whopping three blocks from mine. So, I walked up to Blenz (Melriches wasn’t open for another 10 minutes) and got some banana bread and tea for breakfast, then walked home. Got a few stares, as I was very obviously doing the “walk of shame” although I don’t think that counts so much on new years. Still, my eyes are all sparkly, I was wearing fancy heels and snakeskin pleather pants…

Alas, my pleather pants have seen their last party. I got them over the summer, but they previously belonged to… Anne, I think? Clothing swaps rock. Alas, they’ve already been fairly well worn, and now some of the pleather is peeling off the pants. Not an attractive look.

I’m thinking of making a knitting bag out of them, though. Just need to buy some sturdy fabric to line it with so the knitting needles don’t poke holes in it. I need a few nice bags to keep individual projects in…. rather than having them strewn all over my desk so that I have to sit in bed with my wireless keyboard & mouse and use the computer from here. (If you’ve ever seen my computer and wondered why some of the fonts are so big… that’s why. Emailing from bed is fun. That’s right, my lovely visitors: I’m in bed right now! It’s grand.)

Anyhoo. It’s 6pm. I’m still getting my pm’s and am’s mixed up, and again it took me a minute to realize yes, it’s late, and I should probably start scrounging up some food… but instead, I think I’m going to stay in bed and read a while longer. Or maybe play some Sims. And totally ignore the fact that my livingroom is frighteningly messy and my kitchen is about to be condemned. Yes, that will do nicely.

So… how was your night?
