bring on the major leagues.

so this new years' week has been fantasticwondifericbeautious! where to start...

sunday lydia and i met up with jen, since she was in town from LA for her birthday concert the next day. she brought in tow her new boyfriend, jason, and an old friend of ours, matt (from thrifyhipster.com). i had not seen jen since her going away party months and months ago at the fineline. it was good getting out to see her before she had so many people to hang with at her party. her boyfriend is fabulous and very sweet. i was plenty happy for her. we all drank at the red dragon in uptown, and we forced jason to consume the signature drink there, the wonderous punch. drunk here you come! i had to leave early to wake up for work the next morning, but all in all it was a good choice to say hello to an old friend.

monday was jen's party at the kitty cat klub (i always get confused where the 'k's go in that). anyways. first heather, lyds, and i met up with cherise (who was newly in town from italy) and brittany (who was visiting from portland). we had not seen those girls for a long while, and it was a perfect hang out. things have gotten so good since we parted ways. they were not awful when they left, but you realize how good people are when they are gone. cherise and i had talked a decent amount whilst she was away, and it was a relief to have found such a lovely friend upon her return. after hangs with them at the library, we all ventured down the block to the club. the night had promised to showcase a ton of the local musicians/bands in town in acoustic format. when we arrived it was beautiful chaos (probably because i was not really involved in the chaos part). EVERYONE seemed to be there. of course jen and jason, jen's old co-workers who i had not seen in months, drew (from 50 records), dan rodriguez, roster mccabe, dan, gabers, derek (from the wannabe hasbeens), melissa, steven, gremlin, bailey, sharon, tyler (from readygoes), george (from readygoes), sam (from shoreline), of course mo (from oh crap mo is here, readygoes, and the wannabe hasbeens), the after august guys, the sunshine behavior guys, ari herstand, mike minehart (who set up a wonderous photobooth), and more people that i can not even remember! it was a crazy reunion of the entire scene (it felt like)! there was some craziness because there seemed to be many lovers and ex-lovers triangles and pentagons with so many people, but no outward drama happened as far as i could tell! anyway. a lot of pictures were taken from the night by mike minehart, and i will post below many (and many which seem all like the same picture, but deal with it!).

new years came along and i went to pick up justin from the airport. he had just ventured to alaska to explore and work on writing his band's new album. we then went to white castle (classy bitches we are) and proceeded to order the entire menu. holy crap! we then went back to his place and ate while watching transformers. hoorah! i want a transformer as a pet! aww. when the bell tolled midnight we toasted and stuff to the year with non-alcoholic champagne. we both were sleepy, soon after, though. before the night ended, however, i gained a boyfriend. official and stuff with a token as well. crazy! it is all as it was, just non-confusing. i like it. sigh.

tonight i headed to justin's family's house for dinner. i already love his sisters, and had already met almost everyone there. we laughed and talked and laughed some more. delicious food! quirky and wonderful company! all together splendid!!!

what more can a girl want? not much i tell you. not much. i hope everyone's new years went as well as mine!!! let's make this one better than the last (and make things good before 2012 hits and the world ends. hoorah)!
