Inspired by her NYC visit, our long lost roomate Noa, who has been getting her doctorate in Southern Florida since college ended, came to Brooklyn for some shenanigans. Noa and Lojo arrived in Brooklyn at around the same time at my apartment, and we took a walk down to the Promenade and into DUMBO. 
It was a wonderful winter day, and we had a lot of laughs and silly times just walking around and hanging out. We returned to my apartment and played some Guitar Hero until it was time to meet Marky in the hood for some yummy thai food. It was so nice seeing Noa and I wish her luck on all her medical interviews in the near future.For New Year's Eve, Marky and Matt threw a fabulous party at their apartment! We were so close to getting all five former roomates together, and although we only got 4 (me, Mark, Devon, and Lojo), it was super fun. Everyone was kind of a mess getting ready for New Year Eve, especially me. Whoever made me gay clearly forgot to give me that fashion gene all gay men are supposed to get and I've realized I'm kind of a
fasion disaster. I tried on about 10 different outfits and all of them were terrible. I wasn't happy with what I settled on, but we basically had to leave and I had run out of options so c'est la vie.
The party was a big ole Skiddy Reunion with us Gay Catherine St. roomies, Meera, Markland, Kenne, and Dorothy. We missed you Nat and Mikey O!
Some highlights: Rick imitating Drew Barrymore's "big results!" line from Body Fuzion and knocking over his drink, me hiding from this girl behind Dorothy because I couldn't remember her name, Keene introducing "my girlfriend WHO I FUCK ALL THE TIME," question of the night "how old is the oldest person you've ever slept with?" - Aron won that door prize and was the proud new owner of the naked Tony Danza picture, an entire group of people, including Laura thinking Rick said "Laura coudn't get a date to save her life, although right now she's probably getting plowed by some butch dyke" and of course, me rocking out with my Hello Kitty microphone.
Did anyone else watch the "countdown" on CNN? Becuase there was no clock on the screen. We were watching it muted on closed captioning and we were counting down by the script for deaf people that everyone knows has like a 5 second delay. While the screen was showing "Five. . .four. . ." a graphic came up on the screen that said "Happy New Year!" but everyone pretended they didn't see it and just kept couting. It was pretty ghetto but silly and fun. Everyone loves a good countdown. Plus, I really do love those first few minutes after New Years where you go around and hug everyone and kiss them and wish them Happy New Year. Everyone is always so happy and full of warmth; I really do think a New Year bring about feelings of hope and renewal.
After the countdown I got down with my aforementioned badass Hello Kitty microphone, and shoke my grove thing like it was 1999! Everyone was really in a good mood and it was overall just a fun party. While certainly can't say that it was a sober occasion, I was a bit more in control that usual and although I seem to have blacked out right after I jumped on the hood of this ambulence, I definately remember staying up until four in the morning watching Britney videos with Lojo until Nina called. She hooted like a barn owl ("hoot, hoot") when she was off the phone with her, but I was way passed out by then.
Lojo had to leave the next day, so we took a nice walk with her down to the bagel shop and saw her off on the subway. Tear. It was a nice visit, and a fantastic holiday season. Here's to a fabulous 2009!!
