Here are all the pics from the first half of December 2007 (almost 2 years from the time I'm writing this! Eeep!) that didn't make it into their own entry!

Filthy vermin cuddle pile! I don't know whether to say "Ewwww!" or "Awwww!" tags:cute

Then I watched the premiere of Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project. One of my fave comedians of all time. Soooo good. tags:tv

Here's me and my former Meetup co-workers getting ready to leave the office to attend... tags:meetup
...The New York Tech Meetup. TheFunded.com presented. tags:meetup
Later that night we went out to celebrate Lawrence's Birthday! Happy Bday, my tuxedoed friend! (This is the only photo I have from the night for some terrible reason. The pics from
his last birthday party are EPIC!)

On Friday night I went over to Dennis' new apartment for his Holiday party. Here are the brothers Crowley getting their eggnog on. tags:dens

Dens has a tree and every year people bring ornaments to the party to decorate the tree with! tags:xmas tree

...on the NES BIG SCREEN! tags:videogames
Then I went over to the tree to inspect some of the ornaments people had brought! I loved these happy little robots! tags:ornaments

Also a big fan of the Mac n' Cheese with a Hole Punched in It ornament. This was clearly made by a procrastinator who got nagged by his girlfriend on the way out the door. "But honey, the invite says we HAVE to bring an ornament for the tree!" Hahaha. tags:ornaments

Check out Randy's ornament! Dennis singing karaoke on Santa's shoulders??? tags:dens

Just when I was about to award "Best Ornament" to Randy, I spotted this mysterious little ornament hanging on the other side of the tree. What in the world is this? tags:ornaments

A closer inspection revealed it to be some sort of strange green vegetation called RUTHLESS. Must be some sort of Holiday Spice imported from another country. Maybe this is myrrh? tags:ornaments

Only one way to find out! J, Krucoff and I headed outside to see if we could identify the mystery substance by smoking it out of a can of Red Bull. tags:jcrowley

This is probably my favorite "incriminating photo" of all time. Don't worry everyone. It turned out to totally just be myrrh. tags:jcrowley

Meredith had one too many egg nogs and left the party around 2am. She didn't have keys with her so I gave her mine. tags:meredith

After Dens party, I went over to Hanger Bar for a bit, and when I went home about an hour later sans keys, Meredith was fast asleep and not responding to calls or door-buzzings by my locked-outside-ass. Here's me taking a grumpy photo of myself in our apartment lobby at 3am. tags:me

I started calling around to see if anyone else in the neighborhood was up and I lucked out when Gurj answered! tags:jeet

Tuesday, December 11th
At some point in December of 2007, Meredith started getting really into gluing on fake nails and painting them! (Wait until you see the photos of when she discovered all the Dominican salons and started getting her nails airbrushed and all properly "did." Hahah). tags:hand

On Thursday we had our big holiday party at Meetup. Here's Brian D. riding Meetup's inflatable dino mascot. tags:brian d

At 4:30 everyone stopped working and headed into the conference room for the big YANKEE SWAP! Everyone brings a present, then everyone chooses numbers. The person with the lowest number gets to pick a present first! Then the person with the next lowest number goes. Each person after the first person can keep the gift they open, or they can trade gifts with another person. However, each gift can only be "stolen" twice - so the person that steals a gift a second time gets to safely keep it! It's quite the game of strategy! tags:gift

...Michael Martin! This guy HATES being photographed! As soon as he realized that I had my camera out as soon as I walked through the door, he ran over to the other side of the room. When he turned away, I managed to fire off this crafty shot! A move which caused him to... tags:grant

...scurry off into the kitchen to hide! He eventually emerged... tags:aki

...but came out with his sweater over his head and said he wouldn't be uncovering his head until I promised to not take pictures of him. Yeah, because walking around at a party with a sweater over your head is probably the best way to get me to not take photos of you. tags:michael martin

He was pretty determined though. I think this photo, where you can see the wet spot caused by him drinking his beer THROUGH HIS SWEATER, is my favorite. Nicely done, MM. tags:michael martin

On the other end of the photo-shyness spectrum, here's Niki and Siege. Niki was well aware of my camera and was already making come-hither eyes. Siege was momentarily unaware, but as soon as he realized I was taking pics... tags:niki

With this crowd and a couple of drinks it was only a matter of time before someone remarked about KT and/or Meredith's ridiculous bubble-butts and so they naturally went side to side to show them off. KA-POW! tags:katie

Five people on a love seat! Awwww. After I took this photo, I put my camera down somewhere and then couldn't find it! I looked and looked, but it totally had disappeared! A couple of minutes later, I returned from getting another drink in the kitchen and it turned up. I turned the camera on... tags:amanda

...and found this photo of Fatty's bathroom. "Hmmm, that's strange," I thought to myself. "I don't remember taking a photo of Fatty's bathroom." Then I looked at the next photo... tags:bathroom
