Oh, I'll go back and make some posts, but this week was really busy, and I was running about with Holly and Theo and things. It's been a wonderful holiday in many ways and I feel very odd to be going back to work on Tuesday after nearly two weeks away.

The Blacks threw an excellent party, where the New Year toast led to Dance Dance Revolution which lead to a LOT of chair dancing, lap dancing and interpretive dancing. I danced off all of my Target jewelry and nearly my dress, actually. I sang myself hoarse to eighties and seventies songs and in what had to be the most excellently horrifyingly bittersweet moment of the entire party, I walked out of the living room where Holly, Theo, Tony, Angela and a bunch of other thirtysomethings sat recovering from two hours of dancing up a storm into the kitchen where the twentysomethings (Val, Cassie, Ruby, et al) were furious that not much music from the nineties were being played.

Ruby: "When are we going to stop with this eighties shit?"
Clio: Blinks. "Eighties? Try the seventies. We haven't been in the eighties for about a half an hour."

I felt old and yet I did not care. It was fucking brilliant, and the best New Year's present I could ever have received!

Here is wishing everyone a very safe, happy and successful new year!

I wouldn't say 'furious' so much; and you well know with me it isn't the era I had qualms with, it was the vast lameness of the set list. Clio should DJ all things, s'all I'm saying.

Rach was okay? She got me worried in that way that I needlessly worry over puking peoples.

I need to demand pictures of wing-related things to send my mum in thanks.... yup.

*clings*

Oh, I was fine, other than the inevitable embarrassment over puking and feeling like puke in the morning. I have pictures of your wings on my cam! I'm still in Mass, so I'll upload/email them to you when I get home.

Heh. I cannot believe that you didn't wake up in the night as I was walking TO and FROM and TO and FROM and TO and FROM the bathroom in OMGWATER mode. Let me have the pictures too when you send/upload them? I so need one with wings on my desk. :D

I woke up at, like, five a.m., so I was awake during your showering escapades and at some point I think you were in your underwear and I was very confused. I was also not sure why I had woken up in my bra.

Oh, excellent! Also, there is every chance your camera has photo's of Theo's, wearing my wings, spinning a baton. I'd especially like to see those. ^_^

Glad you're all better than. I'm just a worry-wort, really.

Sounds like fun... certainly more fun than my New Year's Eve. *eye roll*

All the best to you/yours in '05!

I felt old and yet I did not care.

Best thing ever, by far.

Happy New Year to you too!

Ok, seriously. Who doesn't love Total Eclipse of the Heart? And FLASHDANCE!

You rocked your ass off & that was awesome. It was wondeful living in a retro world with you if only for a couple of hours. :)

Preach it.

Although, admittedly, I have no memory of the music at all...

And yet you boogied down like a boogying thing, which sadly for you means that you will never again be able to beg off shaking a tail feather in the middle of the floor, for we have seen it done.

Watching Tony do the dance to Maniac and then pour seltzer over Luke's head will be one of my cherished memories. And dude, never mind Total Eclipse, as I completely blew out my voice trying to sing Magic Man and had to sip tea the rest of the night.

YOU rocked, but that goes without saying!
