A review of 2012

2013 let’s do this.

It is ½/2013. I spent the first day of this new year, one such 1/1/2013, recovering from the night before and continuing the being trashed because a good party lasts two days.

We were supposed to do waffle Wednesday today but such was canceled on account of every single one of us being broke. I have decided to spend this hour before work and perhaps the hours after recapping.

I shall recap both my winter break from school and work as well as my full year of 2012. Twas a good year full of adventures and such.

Ok so Winter break…

School was not in session starting on a Monday… I think I hung out with J-Rabbit the Swankey that day.

Tuesday I worked but the school was empty. Tuesday night the boyfriend Boon canceled on restaurant plans. Then Badtz came to town so we got plastered and hit Blind Bobs then Therapy. I puked in a sink and on her hat. We were brought home by the cops after being followed some distance by a strange guy.

Wednesday woke up still a little drunk found pictures on our phones we don’t remember which was funny. Got a ride to our cars from T-Fish. Badtz and I went to Good Will outlet and then went separate ways. I wanting to avoid the wrath of my mother went to T-Fish’s apartment right after. We partook and reassembled her futon which she had originally put on backwards being intoxicated then too. After that I watched her play assassin’s creed for several hours. It’s a cool friggin game which makes me glad I’m too poor for a PS3 because I know that would suck up many hours of my life. I love climbing shit are you kidding?! After T-Fish’s I went to the Boyfriends. He fed me spaghetti, I partook again and got some action. Watched Breaking Bad until I sobered up and got home late enough to avoid my mother.

Thursday… I worked but it was mostly hanging out and talking to co workers because the school is empty… I don’t really remember what we did… went to Fairfeild mall with mother and sister I think.

Friday… work meeting/Christmas party. This is December the 21st 2012 so stupid jokes about the world ending seemed to be the reoccurring theme of the day. During the meeting part of Friday morning I drew a happy world ending card with turtle asteroids to pass the time. The gift exchange was fun. Twas my first white elephant. I so so regret not stealing the Obama chia pet sitting directly behind me. Let the record show I still really want one. Friday night there was a Christmas party at my friends house. Rach-H (actually I do believe I’ve mentioned her before) was the organizer and host of the event. This party was at her boyfriend, and I genuinely consider him to be my friend too, Pope’s house. And what a cool house he has. He has two pinball machines and a real life arcade game that all work. I suspect he has every video game system known to man but I’m yet to confirm it. The tree was Nintendo made by those little melty pegs for the 8 bit effect and totally cool. Rach-H made a homemade eggnog that was awesome and legit. There was cheap wine, nice wine, and spiked cider. There were end of the world beers named Death, Famine, Pestilence, and War. They were each flavored differently. Pestilence oddly was voted the best by a vast majority. We had a white elephant where a 3 pound pack of bacon was the most sought after item. The 15$ Mc Donald’s gift card went surprisingly UN-stollen. There was a massive box full of coat hangers and a giant realistic fishing lure as well. I myself got a cool little art kit. We played cards against humanity. My first time. Cool as shit. Sobered up. Drove home.

Saturday… I spent the day light going to sex stores with my boyfriend. I was able to get a funny gift bag and some random little things for the gift exchange to follow this night. Boon was in search of specific somethings and a few things were bought. We ate lunch at Indian Oven. This is a restaurant I technically worked for at some point. I had worked at the location itself for a year when it was called Kohinoor Palace. I loved working there. It had been my life for that year but It was good money and great food. They have made many changes to the interior. It was unsettling but not bad changes. I can respect their business and they had yummy food. I hadn’t eaten goat in quite a while. Saturday night I split from Boon and drove myself and Swanky to Bandaroo’s Christmas party. She had really good food and drinks were had. The downside is that Bandaroo had a baby this year and her apartment is small. We watched some It’s always Sunny which was ok with me I love that show. The gift exchange was pink elephant meaning sexy themed gifts but same rules of white elephant. I got the gift I would want least of the bunch and it’s not needed. Nobody stole anything we were all too chicken I suppose. I started wanting to see the boyfriend so I texted him that I was drunk and he should come get me.

Sunday. Swanky did not answer phone meaning things were going good with Beard her man-friend. Boon had to come and give me a ride to my car. We had a good afternoon together. Later in the afternoon I hit up T-Fish again mostly partaking and watching more Assasin’s Creed. I was home for hardly an hour before Badtz invited me to where she was house sitting for crafts. I gathered my supplies and then got lost before finding my way over. Badtz sister was there and she crafted with us. I made four bleh sketches and one Pikachu water color. Badtz made paper cut things for gift labels. I got a little trashed and I ended up crashing in a room in the back. Twas a water bed.

Monday Christmas eve. I woke up in water bed with two dogs to my right. Sweet fuzzy dogs. One medium one small, one black one white. My developing cold was now a full on awful illness of massive snotty proportions. Drove home got lost again but only required one turn around. Went to Jessica’s partook and gave her the small measly gifts that I had gotten her. Went home. Boon texted me about doing Eve Dinner with his family. He almost seemed to want to cancel the plans. I had been home for only ten minuets. My mom and brother were fighting so I left quickly telling Boon I was coming over anyway. We did go to the dinner thing. We ate food at his uncles house but I felt guilty and we leave early so I can go home. I had left my mother crying and now she might be alone on Christmas eve. She wasn’t, my sister was home by the time I got there.

Christmas. Tuesday. My cold was bad. I spent about three hours making cool jewelry with my new cool jewelry making kit. I’m a novice to say the least. I tried to weasel out of cooking but it didn’t work. I tie a coffee filter to a string and wear that over my mouth like a SARS mask so as not to spread my snotty cold germs. I added a jagged teeth line simply for my own amusement. My sister is going around all this while wearing a big ginger bread apron and a Santa beard. Food was good.

Day after Christmas… Wednesday I got up early-ish. I went to Wall-mart to spend my gift card on after Christmas sales. I openly consider Wall-Mart to be evil but a gift card is a gift card.

Thursday I worked on this here website If I’m not mistaken. I met Cleo my good friend for Lunch at Huber Heights Cafe. My drink was good and my cheesy potatoes were awesome. We hung out in that little coffee shop and talked catching up on life for several hours. She lives in Cincinnati so we don’t hang out nearly as much as we used to.

Friday I had to drive to Kettering to get fingers printed for a background check. I work for Rosewood which is a community art center. I work with kids so background checks are standard.

Saturday TV with Boon. We hit a few stores in Trotwood as soft snow falls all around us. He has plans with his Boyfriend Batman that night. I eat chilli with my mother and brother at home before going over to Swankeys. We organize a night sled. Me and Swankey partake and drink. I get a good buzz going. Angel comes over and we build snow cats. I made a snow penis on J-Rabbits car (which actually stays on for the next two days and a trip to the gas station). Angel drives us to sledding, she has a plastic well griped sled which, without fail, will turn around mid hill so you are suddenly riding backwards. I have my mothers wooden metal antique, the kind with the steering in the front. J-Rabbit uses a plastic trash bag, some bubble wrap and a plastic storage lid. We traded off, raced and took turns. I’ll admit I enjoyed the running diving ability of the trash bag sled the best. After an hour and a half we went back to Swankeys for coco and vodka. Angel even drank some and she’s not a big drinker. The boys came late, Motorcycle and Dr. OK. We drank and partook and hung out. Angel went to bed early but the rest of us stayed up talking past 4 in the morning. We took turns having our fortunes read by Swankey. They boys both asked about girls I think. I asked about my career. Us four trashed and chilling out reminds me of the old days which feel so long ago now. In reality it was only Summer ago. Mere months.

Sunday I woke up drunk. Rei and Captain Green coat canceled our sled plans which I didn’t mind. Greencoat must have drunken as much as me that night for his excuse was hangover. I see Boon.

Monday New Years. Well the original plan was to go to the Oregon District and bar hop. We had permission to crash at his aunts house so we were free to get good and sloshed. I was admittedly looking forward to this. The other two with us Batman and The-Other were not up for such goings out. The-Other is actually only 20 not 21 and she had a bad cold. We sat in the basement and played card games. I got trashed and Boon got buzzed.

Tuesday recover then more trashing. Hung out with Swanky. Mom made German good luck dinner.

Today. I start the editing job. I made a blog post.
