happy new year's a top 16, you're sure to like! x? on friday!
1. happy new year!!! 2010 and rockin' the electric red heart! just for you!!
2. last night was hysterical! so i showered, dressed to kill, cried, released tension, opened my heart some more and channeled - THEN left for my first new year's night out in, maybe 20 years? it was crazy fun! and just plan crazy! i step out my door and a man who is clearly insane and carrying a bag full of SHIT, and i mean SHIT, bows! we wish each other a happy new year's - this is just the beginning!
3. i make it down to lo-fi via cab, post a really weird ATM stop. STRANGE, i tell you! weirdo's and freak's galore! anyhoozers, i get out of the cab wearing 5 1/2 stiletto's and i carefully cross a dangerous street. i make it safely across and notice the monster size line! i hug a stranger and he's so drunk he has no idea what's going on! i decide to bolt - i'll make it back to the club next weekend, before school really kicks in and when it's not NEW YEAR'S EVE!! i dodge puddles, smile and folks and enjoy the fire crackers that are exploding above me!
4. i'm a bit panicked, it's almost 11:15 pm and i need to get in somewhere! i need a drink, and i want to have fun! i head downtown and make to el corazon! i've always wanted to see this venue, and it's nice inside, but it's "metal" night! damn! everyone knows what a hardcore METAL HEAD I AM! i sit quietly and drink a beer, tap my foot to the guitar player who wasn't that great, and enjoy the vibe. the kids are trying to touch the lead singer on stage and suddenly a mosh pit breaks out! i like to see their energy rise and fall! it's enough to take it in at 37, and my shoes are way to nice, so i make a run for it!
5. DISCLAIMER - i had to pay $15 just to get into the "metal extravaganza"! it was almost worth it!
6. i dodge more water and potato's outside of the club!
7. i hoof it up denny to the cresent! the only place to be on new year's eve! i forgot how much i enjoyed this place! it's chock full of gay folks, vampires - real one's, alcoholics, karaoke, straight couples and other niceties! i fit right in!
8. i dance the night away with sergio - he's very drunk when i come in, mexican and semi-annoying when he repeats himself over and over again, by saying: "i'm a lazy artist, i worry about the government or the economy". we both know when to walk away!! he tries to say: "anyone can be a producer!". i set him straight, and he doesn't repeat that line for the rest of the night! he kisses my check and holds me close and says: "i am totally gay, and i'm getting confused". i say: "you're really gay, and you're drunk, and it's new year's eve! let's enjoy the night, it's perfect!". so we do! i tear it up until 2 am and make it home safely.
9. i drink alot - i have fun! sergio purchases another pitcher of beer and i have two glasses. champagne, mixed drinks - the works! i get up and do a scary rendition of tiffany's: "i think we're alone now"!. SCARY!, but hopefully cute!
10. sergio and i discuss art, politics and laugh out loud. i kiss and hug more strangers - i let vampires look at my neck, even though i'm scared! we step outside to smoke a marlboro, and a lady and her mean careless boyfriend are talking against the outside wall, when she suddenly crashes onto the cement - wasted. her boyfriend is lame, and the bouncer tells them that she can't reenter the bar. sergio gets pissed, and tells the man that he needs to "take care of his woman" and look after her. the guy gets pissed and threatens to beat his ass, saying: "dood are you questioning my manhood?". the testosterone rises and i contemplate getting in between them for about 2 seconds and then opt to let the men work it out themselves, and they do.
11. that incident makes me realize that it's ALWAYS a man's job to take care of his woman! even gay men know it!
12. we step back in and i we discuss our people the aztec's & mayan's - i remind him that we used to eat hearts! i tell him that 3,000 of our people try to cross the boarder every day, and only 300 of us make it! we both agree that we can't be stopped! then he says: "i wonder why they keep crossing, the state of this country, blah blah blah". i tell him: "they cross because they must". we are warriors and raise our glasses!
13. today i enjoyed a fabulous lunch out with my friend susan.
14. this has been the best christmas break ever! the best new year's ever!
15. go see - "precious" - this movie is mind blowing! the camera work, breaks my heart into tiny little pieces! monique is brilliant, there's talk of her being nominated for an oscar! i can't believe this film! i read the book about 10 years ago, it took oprah and a whole lot of guts to get this film made!
16. craigslist and match.com are heating up - wish me luck!
yours - and a lot more!

i love chance encounters with them the best.
you must have had a monster hangover with that combination of drinks, it hurt to read it.
potatoes?
i've been so tired lately, and the whiskey on christmas didn't help. i even passed up a party invitation, i was so tired. we stayed home, made snacks only because the kid is so into NYE and the snacks. baked brie with apples in puff pastry, candy and popcorn. watched SNL from the first season (lorraine newman was hot. i didn't remember that), knitted, played music, went to bed as soon as the kid went to bed. boring mommy new year's.
i bet your bones did absorb the booze. i bet you danced off anything that would be in your muscles and liver. i vaguely remember the bones-only hangovers from when i used to go out and dance. i should do that more.
hello mrs!
i vaguely remember her on the show, i'll find her online - thanks for the tip!
i think that popcorn, candy and baked brie sound like an extra nice new year's! i think it's great that you did it up for your daughter!
what kind of pubs or clubs are in your area! a night out for you and the mr. is in the cards! enjoy it!
love - christy nc-17!
mostly i have someone over or go to someone's house if i'm going to be socializing, even with alcohol. but i picked a date to go out anyway because it's good to do that every so often. we'll save up for it. and we will see whatever band is playing, even if it's a cheesy cover band, or karaoke.
i tried to google images of laraine newman's hotness in 1975 and had some trouble finding pics or video. and the more i looked the more i felt weird about it, she's got so much to offer, she's not just hot. thing is, i'd always thought jane curtain was the hot one and looking back now, well i think differently.
and you know the show wasn't all that better? it was different, but not so much better. there were a lot of sketches with no point, recurring characters that flogged a dead horse. i dare say, the show never really got any worse, people are just nostalgic.
went on a tangent there, but yes, we are going to have a date night, preferably a double date.
gotta celebrate, rejoice, have fun, let loose - the works!
nostalgia works for me - i like a lot of mid 70's - early 80's inspired television, the writing was stellar and most of the concepts even if they seemed "repetitious" were rather daring and original, for it's time. most folks disagree, but i think that snl got better over the years. mars and i still like to pull up the "best of's" on netflix! 
i always picture jane curtain in more of her "kate and allie" days, vs, her early snl skits, i don't know why?!!
hearts and enjoy your day!

when i was leaving the metal bash, it was drizzling outside, and i had to duck into an alley to make it back up the denny hill, ASAP before midnight!
as i was walking, i noticed pothole's the size of manhattan filled with paper scraps, water and potatoes!
i had to navigate them with care, my stilettos would have pierced the heart of the potatoes!
my girlfriend susan said i could have roasted them over an open fire!
how funny is that?!!
your friend - dc!
I'm exhausted just reading about it!
My New Year's Eve:
Watched Ella skate on the lake in her new ice skates
Sledded down the hill until I got too cold and bribed her to go back in with the promise of hot cocoa
Made hot cocoa for the kids and for me- mine with a shot of creme de menthe that Ryan had to run under hot water for 5 minutes to get open for me.
Made shrinky dinks!!! with Ella. They're retro cool now instead of just cool.
Snacked all night long and drank 2 beers. (That's 3 drinks total- the most in > 1 year!)
Watched Ice Age 2.
Watched the ball drop and went to bed at 11:15.
Maybe when I'm 37 I'll have the energy to go out again!!
shrinky dinks?!! this is a party, unto itself! i love and miss the almighty shrinky dinks!
you guys tore it up! i can see the big smile on your face while you were sledding! what fun!
i think that ice age 2 was the perfect movie to ring in the new year!
i look forward to having a good man like ryan who will bust open the creme de menthe for me in a pinch! i'm happy for you guys! this will be a big year for all of us!
keep having fun!
hearts - christy nc-17!
hey lady!
how was your new year's?
my night was crazy wasn't it? i'm just now realizing this!? i had a lot of fun, i like to try new things, places, etc. you never know what/who you'll find! i go for the adventure part, someone has too?!!
i'm enjoying the online dating pool - i had no idea what it would be like! lot's of men to choose from, all offering something different/unique. i think i'm pacing myself and enjoying the ride, more than usual!
have fun today beautiful!
take care - love always - christyX/nc-17!
We stayed home and had a mini party, just me and Brian and the boys. lovely dinner, watched tons of Twilight Zone episodes, and played Guitar Hero ha ha. This was my daughter's gift to us and we are all getting a big kick out of it. Then watched the ball drop on TV, and toasted the new year in with champagne (juice for the boys). stayed up a few hours more just being together and having fun, it was nice. My daughter stayed at her apt. with her young man for new year's but came out to hang with us yesterday, it was nice to see her.
Online dating sounds so interesting to me, I just missed doing it when it became popular and mainstream (meaning of course when I finally got hip to it LOL) Brian and I started dating early 1996, and prior to that I was going to put an ad in the paper, you know the old school way. wrote my ad and everything! but never did it because the mister and I fell in love, and the rest is history
I'm glad you're enjoying online dating, I have a feeling this will be your year to find your mister.
hello baby!
yes, i agree - i think this is my year to find him, or rather, he'll finally find me? i don't know what it is! watching "the secret" again? even better than that: there was a nice/friendly universal reminder after my latest date night out, that i needed to "trust the process". of life, school, money, the works. often time, i need that reminder! what happens to me? i get "caught up". i don't know, this year is shifting me, and i'm rolling with it. i feel more prepared? ready to accept? finally able to receive? taking the pressure off myself? i don't know anymore friend, something has lifted and i feel great. better? relieved? something has already "rolled" over, i can feel it!
i swear i don't know!
a couple of things:
so glad that your daughter spent time with her new man on new year's - how sweet is this? this is right on time!
AND - you got to enjoy her company with the crew yesterday! a nice balance, don't you think? she's grown and happy, successful and living her life!
i know the twilight series was fun! glad that you got to enjoy the night with your boys! super fun and relaxing!
i must add that you've handled your daughters life transition with love, compassion and grace!
you did it!
forever your friend - christy nc-17!
p.s. i wish i could see your ad! i know it was cute and to the point! brian got so lucky meeting you, when he did!
truth be told I started mentally and emotionally preparing for her moving out when she was in 9th grade! ha ha I knew it would take that long for me to not fall apart when she left. It was hard but it forced me to see how much my identity was wrapped up in being a mom, you know? it helped me to grow up and into myself, the woman I am and wanted to be...still it's hard, as you know. I have moments when I have to bite my tongue! but overall I am so pleased at the young woman she has become. I like her as a person, not just because she's my baby. Her young man is very nice and he loves her deeply, I like them as a couple.
LOL the ad I wrote was hysterical! I wish I still had it to show you, it was totally 'me' fourteen years ago 
Okay, thoroughly enjoyed reading this post, esp the part about Sergio. How fun your conversations upon meeting! Amen about taking care of the woman, no matter what your sexual orientation is.
I had fun on New Years. Took at mini trip to see my favorite childless couple- old best friends are the best friends, esp on New Years! The babe came with me of course and she was tucked in upstairs as we drank martinis and champagne and made fun on J-Lo on TV dancing in the rain in Times Square in a sequined unitard. Who does that? J-Lo!
Happy 2010, my favorite toast coming to you: to new beginnings! xxo for you mama.
hi beautiful lady!
i know the champagne & martini's were delish, glad that you had an amazing new years with your friends! i have to see the jo-lo business, i know she acted a fool! i caught a quick pic and her expression mid-air was weird! i bet perez has some updated info on tne situation! 
thank you for the awesome 2010 wishes! enjoy the new year babe!
hearts galore! your friend, forever - christyX

crazy, i know - i didn't even drink as much water as i usually would have before bed! but, i always make sure to eat before i go to bed, and i'm certain that helped!
when i woke up, my joints were sore, i think that my bones literally absorbed the majority of it! how funny is that?
when i went out yesterday with my friend susan i had a manny's and didn't quite finish it, at only 5'0, i think i'm finally building up my tolerance!
crazy folks can be fun sometimes - i think it was definitely "new year's appropriate!".
what did you guys do on new year's?
take care - DC
