a person in 5,311 photos me <3 Henry, Elle, Shandi and me creeping-peeping my way in. Now, that's karaoke! Skid Row? Steve Perry? Does it matter? These two guys are responsible for popping SO MANY people's CHERRYOKE! ...I'm basically going to open the thing and just treat it like at 14-pound candy bar. If you leave the box of FONDUE CHOCOLATE lying around long enough... Happy Birthday, Ellen! Fancy drink! CHUG FOR MUSCLE POWER. CRANIUM TRIUMPH BELONGS TO US! Here's us putting Ellen up for our big victory photo.
Team 2: Mark, Ellen and myself went with "Party, No Relax." Here's me, Ellen and Mark going for the win. Surf, puppet! Surf! My little angel beard. This group photo makes me so happy. Hahaha. ...and we all headed out together to say goodbye to Fran and Alex (they were headed back to London after a visit)! ...to Pukk and met up with Mark... Still time. Crosstown. Yes! Ahhhh! A little after one, we decided to head back into Manhattan to try to catch up with Apt 3A. Siege and I were a pair of black pants away from being outfit-twins. Biting into a slice of lemon! The miraculin really worked and made the lemon taste like a lemon candy! Me! Oh man, these pills are crazy, they are making... Oh, my! Six creepy blue eyes. Mer and me. On Monday Leigh and Edie came over to pick up the last of Leigh's things to move them back to her apartment. Goodbye, Roomie! She brought her "new" husband (of 10+ years) Bob to lunch! He is awesome. And my mom got my holiday boxers... Which turned out to be the same book that my dad was reading because HE had picked it up last time he was at the airport! So much lasagna. Family dinner. Merry Christmas, good one! Tshirt from Mer! I recently bought a keyboard and started teaching myself piano so Meredith's parents got me a bunch of awesome books on music theory! Christmas Eve dinner back at my parent's house. The good news was that they people had two really cute dogs that we made friends with. This guy... Merry almost-Christmas! By 6pm we were in a cab to the airport and on our way to enjoying... Thanks, Leigh! 11pm and I'm running out of steam! Still waiting for the Nyquil to kick in. I couldn't keep away from the STACKS of cookies and pies and treats. She likes to watch stuff go past. Meredith took this awesome picture of me playing Rock Band by myself on Saturday afternoon. Haha. Hey loser, why so serious? Thanksgiving family portrait! Attendance photo! We all hung out late! On Friday night we went to see... Later that night I met up with the Beebs! I hadn't seen him in years and we got to catch up. Dork bass. ...playing video games together until the wee hours of the morning. ...or turn it around for a toasty night on the town! (Flu-shot band aid. TREND ALERT!) ...into a DIY snuggie vest! Wear it backwards to keep your chest warm... Also noteworthy on Sunday was the custom mouse pad Meredith gave me as a gift out of the blue. A-dorable. (This picture of us is from when we were in Thailand .) I woke up on Sunday morning with crazy post-Halloween hair and (secret tranny!) residual eye make up! Despite numerous face washings, I always have that "secret tranny" hint of make up around the eyes the next morning. Makes for an extra feisty kick off to November! Happy Halloween! Skull face is dying (for now). ...and met up wtih Niki and Karla who were dressed as matching night club "cigarette girls" Me anzd Sarah roaming the crowd. A little before 2am we headed down to a party at the Bowery Hotel... I like dressing up, but I don't really like all the planning and buying stuff that's involved in dressing up. So more often than not, I'll revert to a last-minute halloween costume with whatever's lying around. This year I used some white face paint and a mascara pencil to go as SKULL FACE! After I finished borrowing Ellen's eyeliner, she touched up her slutty 80s rocker make up! Halloween Family Portrait! It took forever to get a photo of Maddy looking towards the camera because in between shots... ...she couldn't resist licking my delicious make-uppy face. Maddy had a matching skeleton outfit. Awwwww, skull guy and skeledog! Best year yet! I like to put off everything as long as possible, so I just slicked my hair back in preparation for painting my face like a skull. We played a fun card game called Such a Thing. Cab home with a masked Lezark and a "Who the F**CK is Ultragrrrl.com Swag Bag" Swag Bag. Haha. I ran into Nazita who I hadn't seen since right before I left for my first trip to Thailand in 2005! It was Nazita who ended up putting my in touch with her friend Claire in Bangkok ! Me and Sarah. Josh preparing drop some tasseography on us and tell our futures! ...and Josh! Later that night I hung out with Leigh and Edie (which was great timing on my part because I was wearing my Edie shirt !). Thanks for hosting, Matt! Clearing the dance floor and taking home table roses at 12:15! ("Looks like those double-scotches finally caught up with you, Dr. Rosepenis.") Hands free! Which led to the great idea of practicing our Hava Nagila skills. I volunteered to take (the much drunker) team for a test drive. Aerial view. Haha. Feel pretty lucky to know these two. Thanks, Chuck! These two are pretty okay also. Me vs. Mer! When a circle forms around you on the dance floor, it can only mean one thing...DANCE OFF! Oh, it's because my mom must've walked out! Hahah. All growsed up. Me and Sarah. MOAR TIES! Uncle Bruce, dad, mom & Elyse! Uncle Bruce! Me and Matt! Mandy and me! Leigh! ...and a few days after the party, Leigh sent us a link to... Amanda, Marina, Dave and me. My hammy-family all cramming together for another awesome group shot.
