batskeets | 12 hours of 2005, 12 hours of 2006

As of 24 hours ago, it was 2005!

I baked a cake, with some recipe modifications, and it turned out fantastic. I went to

polysciguy and

numfar's in the mid-afternoon, and we hung out for most of the day. We ate a ton of food, and played a bunch of games and poker and such. (putting me and

polysciguy on the same Trivial Pursuit team was probably not the greatest idea, LOL)

I also got a phone call from THE FUTURE! Really, it was

dakania calling me from the East Coast, where it was already 2006. Still, it was entertaining.

I left for a bit to hang with J, because he managed to get the flu Thursday night, so he was feeling like poo all day and didn't really leave the house. We watched the ball drop, and yes, Dick Clark still looks pretty much the same, heh. We also watched a couple eps of this odd little Canadian (?) show, which looks like your average kiddie show, until they suddenly spout off about wormholes and chaos theory. Yeah, I was a little surprised, too.

I wandered over to the Shack later, foisted the rest of the cake on them, played some pretty hardcore drinking games, had some entertaining conversations. They made me Mac and Cheese! Maybe it was the beer talking, but that was some really yummy Mac and Cheese. Anyway, sometime after that, I was checking in and out of consciousness--primarily because I'd been awake since 9am--and I dozed off at some ungodly hour.

I woke up randomly at 7am-ish feeling quite lucid again, and I had a strong urge to go home, so I did. Gizmo greeted me at the door! Aaaawww, he's so cute. All the ladies at the vet's office apparently love him... that dog has some serious people skills. :)

I wish I'd been able to go to Portland, too, because partying with the AHS crew has always been so much fun. But, I still had some good times here in stinky Eugene, hee. :)

Anyway, hello 2006! I'm glad you're here. 2005 had a few good points, but it was mostly pretty awful. Were it not for the people I met this year--and the ones I already know and hold dear, too--it would have completely sucked.

My head hurts, so I'm off like a dirty shirt.
