Yes, I'm blitzed. But still coherant. I'm not *that* bad - only three cocktails...hah.

1st of all. Matt wound up not making it. So, yet again I spent a new year's eve with no one. But, on the flip side, I spent it when my friends, which is the best thing in the world, next to a partner. I love my friends so much.

2nd of all. I worked 13.5 hours today @ Gentry. My feet hurt so bad that not even a scalding hot foot massage could help. And I don't even want to look at stairs for a few days.

3rdly. We all went to Charlies after we closed the bar, where I proceeded to get innebriated, but I saw a whole bunch of people I know, which is always fun. And all kinds of guys were checking me out. One guy I thought was really hot came up, winked at me, and grabbed my ass. *happy sigh*

4th. I really really really miss Matt. I want him to come home. Now.

And finally - I fucking made bank tonight. And no matter how bitchy or uppity this sounds - when we got to Charlie's and there was a line around the fucking block, and they let me go in ahead of everyone without paying the $20 cover charge - that was freaking grand. I could *definetely* get used to that.

But now it's 5:30 am and I am so exhausted I can't stand it, so I'm turning in. I really do hope, though, that everyone had a spectacular night and that we all have the best fucking year in the world. Because I know my friends (all of you, included!) all deserve it. And I know that with everything that's happened in the last year, only good things can come.

blerg.

morning sickness.

damn that tequila.

in other news, though - Happy New Year's Eve Day. i hope everyone has fun with whatever their plans are tonight. i know 2005 was really shitty for a lot of people, so here's wishing 2006 makes it all worth it.

kisses and kittens, i'm off to make some breakfast to soak up the alcohol so that i can get dressed and get to work.

Made two new icons, after watching Shaun of the Dead again. Teehee. I love that movie.

Anyway, take 'em if you want 'em. Credit's nice but not required.

Also, my imaging muse sucks. I'm all rusty.

Isn't it amazing how shopping can make you feel so much better?

Yes. I am that gay.

But now I have several different outfit options for tomorrow. I'm going to check Target later this afternoon for different pants. The ones I got bunch in the crotch - which, not that big of a deal, but it still looks odd - and aren't exactly white. Do you know how hard it is to find white pants in December? What I really want are tight tight white jeans. *glares at clothing stores* Don't they know that whole White after Labor Day thing is so over? I mean, really.

And for those of you wondering - there shall be pictures. I'm taking my camera tomorrow so everyone can take pictures, so I should have tons of me and the guys, and possibly Matthew:)

And now, for some lunch. That chocolate covered espresso bean I ate an hour ago just didn't do the trick. Nor did the white chocolate mocha I drank. Blerk.

Someone done beat me upside the head and runned over me with a dumptruck.

I feel like crap this morning. I didn't get very much sleep last night, for some reason. I only had two drinks last night and was home by midnight. Kept tossing and turning and waking up every half hour. And I'm really sore. Like, ouchie sore. I do remember having a dream in which I was working and messed up the party and then somehow started a fire and the whole place was destroyed. Wierd.

I'm going to make a pot of coffee; hopefully that'll help.

And then I have to go shopping to find white clothes to wear tomorrow night. Aaron asked me to work as a barback for the New Years celebration at Gentry. At first I wasn't going to, but then I did the math and saw giant $$ signs. So I have to be there at 3pm tomorrow afternoon. And I'll be working until 3:30am. Oh well, at least Matt'll be there. I should still get my New Years Kiss:) At least, I better. hmph.

You know. I think this whole positive outlook/attitude thing can really work for me.

I didn't post about it, but I was starting to be slightly alarmed because I don't work for another couple of weeks (catering's at a stand still for the next month or so), and I wasn't sure if I was going to have enough money to pay all my bills and stuff this month, let alone next month.

Instead of freaking out about it, I had faith that it would work itself out.

And it did. I got this quarter's loan money deposited today, which gives me some give-room until I can find another job or until business picks up.

Who knew?

Went to target today. Wound up spending $50. Bought a new shower curtain (the other one was filthy and gross), Mean Girls on DVD (I can't believe I didn't own it), and a media tower to house my DVDs. The tower has to go back. Apparently I have more that 108 DVDs. Like, twice as many. Who knew?

Also stopped by the bookstore and picked up all but one of my books for this quarter's classes. I'm flipping through my Social Justice book, and I'm actually looking forward to the class if it's structured the way the book is. There's a whole section on heterosexism - which, COOL. And also, my Intro to LGBT Studies class looks really neat, based on the book. Maybe I'll actually enjoy this quarter. *gasp eegads!*

Now I'm off to make dinner and watch Mean Girls. Then I'm going out. Again. *whoot*

I realize, of course, that I didn't actually post this - it was just neuroticism in my head - earlier.

I was incredibly worried about my beloved Matthew:) I hadn't heard from him since Christmas Eve when he sent out a mass Txt letting us all know that he was in White Trash Hell. So yeah, I've been worried and a teensy bit (okay, a lot) crazy about what was going on, and why I hadn't heard from him, and did something terrible happen?

He txted me tonight to let me know that no, he is not dead, but he forgot his phone charger here in Chicago and his phone died right after sending out that txt on Xmas eve. And that he will be back on Saturday (!? *cries*) and can't wait to see me and hang out.

In short - I miss him something terrible, and can't wait until Saturday.

Also, I've had about 5 drinks, about half of my usual, and I'm wasted. Like, GONE, wasted. And you know what? It feels perty good.

And. Matt comes home in four days. FOUR DAYS! *whoot*

Gross.

Icky.

I have Holiday Weight.

Stupid Mirror.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go buy exlax and oatmeal.


NM. I went back and reread that post from last week:) I've gained a little back, but now that the holidays are over, and I have access to a gym again, it should slide right off.

So...I'll just deal with it for a couple weeks, I guess.

Actually it wasn't that bad, this time. No big arguments, no yelling or screaming, just random disfuncionality.

Prezzies )

More or less, my holiday was uneventful, but exhausting. It seems that the longer I live in Chicago, the more anxious I get when I'm away for an extended period of time. But again - that could be just that I don't like the QC's. *shrugs*


And also, I miss Matt.

I'm back.

And again, Need some time to chill out. Which means - Happy Hour(s) is coming up for me. Nando's already got my seat saved.

You know - the best part of going to visit my family is returning home. *nods*

At least i'm not totally shellshocked this time.

Real update later.

But of course, you knew that.

Just got done at the dentist - ow - and finished up all my dishes. Now all that's left is to throw my dirty laundry into the car, pick up my paycheck on my way out of the city, and I'm off for the Holiday. Posting access is probably limited, so I most likely won't be LJing until I get back next week. I should be back Tues or Wed, but possibly later.

So I bid you Happy Holidays all the way around.

And also?

Adieu.
I'm very anxious about going home tomorrow - er, today.

I just having this sinking, disgusting feeling that something bad is going to happen.

Oh, look at me - now I'm Miss Cleo.

I've created a Matt tag so if you see it you can avoid it if you don't want to read.

And I'll put the incredibly schmoopy crap behind cuts like this. )

I spent about 3 hours shopping for people. I only got two gifts. So I still have about 6 to buy. Which means I'll have to finish my shopping tomorrow. Translation: I'll have to spend the day before Xmas at Southpark Mall and...possibly...*cries* Wal-Mart.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

okay, so it's 9:30. for a bartender/bar attender/caiterwaiter/gay man, that's early.

we talked last night - heart to heart. he's still dealing with ex issues, and though he feels about me the way i feel about him, he (wisely) doesn't want to rush into something that could hurt either one of us. so for now, we will be friends. and if something happens, it happens. and if it doesn't, it doesn't. at least we both know where we stand.

and i reiterate this: no matter what, i've got this really cool person in my life now, and i'm better off for it.

and now to hop back into bed - he's squeezing my pillow looking for me. lol.
This doesn't often happen to me.

Today, I was cleaning my apartment and getting some stuff put away (clothes, mostly, but some keepsakes I've been meaning to clear out). As I was cleaning, I was dancing and jamming to music - Some remixes I burned, and then Aqua, which I only listen to when I'm in a really good mood - and I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. In one hand, a rag, in another hand, Pledge. And on my face, one of the biggest smiles of all time. And, rather than avoid looking at myself like I usually do, I looked at myself. Like, really looked. Bandana on my head, yellow rubber gloves, baggy jeans, and an old ratty t-shirt.

And I realized - I look good. Not just good, beautiful. I'm not fat, or ugly, or gross to look at. I am me. And, more importantly, I like me. I think it was the smile that I didn't really realize I had. That is, I felt it before I noticed it. That was a few hours ago, and still I feel amazing. I can't really explain or describe it, other than to say that I feel encredibly free right now, and like so much crap and BS has just evaporated.

Of course, now the trick is to remember this for when the crap starts piling up again. Because it will - it always does. If I start going all boo-hooey, someone cyber-slap me and point me to this post, will you?
