New Years Eve was an interesting night. I started the day not really planning to do anything, and even thought it was amusing when I read my horoscope for the day that stated I absolutely must be outgoing and do something for the night.
It seemed as if I would tag along with one of my housemates, Kristie and her boyfriend, another housemate, Ran until the final housemate, Brie came in an convinced me to go out with her and her girlfriend Lauren.
I didn't think about getting dressed up for the night until Brie started taking so much consideration in what she was going to wear, and then I remembered why I don't usually bother. I have a very limited collection of clothing (not to mention half of it was still packed away at that point), and I am lacking that gene that enables girls to care about how they look or what looks particularly cute on any given day.
So we drank some at Lauren's place, something they called Red Bubbly and which I wasn't paying enough attention to know what it was really called. We dropped by a house party on the eastside that was robot themed, the coolest thing being these rings some of the hosts and early arrivals had that stobe. Brie would leave the party with one which she would pass on to me at the next stop, the ND for the countdown.
It was amusing at the door that I was the only one asked for their I.D. I know I can't look younger than I am, surely. So we got our toasting champagne and headed up to the upper deck position in the bar, took some pictures, countdown-ed the New Year and drank a bit more before heading downstairs and to the front of the stage to dance it up.
I usually wouldn't dance in public simply because it never seems like something fun to do, but buzzed me had no problem holding up my strobe ring, singing along to alternating Prince and Michael Jackson songs played by the band, and shaking my booty.
When we got home around 3AM, Lauren and Brie started doing some Whippets which I was a bit hesitant about since I like to research any and everything into oblivion before I try it, but I understood enough about it and recognized it was a once-a-year type of thing for them so I took a few myself. I had one, what I guess would be considered a really good hit where everyone's voice slowed down and distorted as if manipulated by audio software. I kept my eyes closed for that one and am thankful for it. Don't want to know what that would look like. I kept on getting really tripped out by the blue tinge of the other girls' lips when they would take a hit, but that's what will happen when you are depriving yourself of life-giving oxygen, kids.
Overall- pretty cool experience to have in a new city with new people and a new mindset. For moving here Wednesday, I think I am doing a decent job of pushing out of my comfort zone.
