I wish that I could come up with something a little more creative for a title today but, alas I cannot. I'm just a little nostalgic right now. I wonder why? What is an attractive vamp (thanks Carl) like me doing home all by her little self on New Year's? Good question. The funny thing is that my husband wants to keep the boys tonight so I'm free but I think I'll sit my little hot self down and sit at home. I have only gone out maybe twice on New Year's. My ex fiance took me out once in rural Missouri. Fun. I didn't know whether or not I should duck or do the hoe down. Yee haw! Well at least he tried. It was so dumb because he was underage and I was 21 and they asked him who he was with and he pointed to me, "her." Let me stop. It was cool because we didn't pay for anything, I danced, beat him at cricket (ha ha), and got free champagne and favors. That was also the first year I was kissed at midnight. Then, when we got home the party really started. Ok I'll stop there.
The second time I went out on New Year's I was in good old Minneapolis, which should be my home. It was 2000 (yes I went there for the millennium and Y2K). I am stupid because I missed the really cool fireworks display that Chicago had. It was awesome because all of the beaches had fireworks displays from the northside to the southside (awww I just have to tell you something later, don't let me forget). Ok but anyways we got dressed--I was still fat at the time but I still wore some pretty satin jeans and this bisexual guy named Matt parted my hair. Thanks Matt! I really didn't believe that he was going to part it right but Phillip called Matt into the bathroom when I was having trouble parting my hair. Matt worked at the Gap. See, I used to watch this WB show called Perfect and the girls always had these really cute cris cross complicated parts in their hair. Well let me tell you, Matt did the part so pretty and so perfectly. I looked so cute. Ok fast forward. We payed a fortune to dance at First Avenue 7th Street entry (Prince's old club, watch Purple Rain). I saw this really cute guy that reminded me of Chris from Stabbing Westward (thud) oops formerly of SW but currently with the Dreaming, but he was only concerned with Nesha and if she was ok. I really wanted to choke the living day lights out of Nesha that night. Well I'm glad that I spent the last New Year's of the '90s with good friends at a good place in a good town. May old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind da da da da da da da da da da old lang syne. I might get into some trouble yet tonight. How's New Year's in Bridgeport?
Oh btw the tid bit I wanted you to remind me of earlier: I got so super excited when dj Fook of Q101 talked about buying 10 pairs of socks off I55 for $10 and his big smoked whitefish from Bobaks that I just had to totally call in and hit on him. If you guys remember he totally freaked me out when he first started working for Q101 and he asked me to say "Ooooh Fook, rub my back." I totally screwed that up and stopped listening to him but he's a little less perverse now. Another Steve Fisher? Maybe. Maybe not. But we'll just see if I spend another Saturday at the Q101 studios in the Merchandise Mart again. ;)
