Remembering the Ball Drop
Jan. 3rd, 2004 11:28 pmIt's Jan 3 and it was 77 degrees here. It's just not right. We are supposed to have rain tonight, and by Monday night, it's going to be 38 degrees. No wonder we're all sick and crazy in this city.
Most of the day has been cleaning up, paying bills and doing laundry. Somewhere along the way, my pants called Chris...logical, in a way.
Thought I'd just write down a couple of things about New Years. I was happy to drive to Dallas, but it did leave me pretty tired. Still, why would I give up kissing Chris at midnight? While I was at work on Wednesday I got calls from both Skye (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cristalskye) and Matty (mattycub) not only asking for contact information for my sister, but to encourage me to come up to Dallas for the night. Later, when Chris (oakleycub) called, he said he had to work on Friday, making it impractical for him to come down to Houston, so my mind was made up
After I left work on Wednesday I arrived in Big D around 10:30. I found that the crew were still out eating at Carrabba's (Italian), and hadn't returned to Matty's place. I had a lovely meal in car, courtesy of Jack-in-the-Box. I made a call to Matty telling him how I was disappointed that I came to his house for a party, and there was no party there!
Then everyone came back and the party was on, other LJer's in attendance included Travis (verucacub), Jess (marinebear) and Michael (mikeybeartx). Also there was Matt from Wisconsin, who's a friend of Matty's. We watched some Cartoon Network Adult Swim episodes waiting for the ball to drop.

Chris had brought a bottle of Dom Perringon that he had been holding onto for some time. I don't know why he chose to open it at that time, all I know is that after a midnight smooch (open mouth and tongue, baby!) with Chris, I took the most expensive single swig of my life.
After a call from Randy (lostncove) and others, we got down to playing Loaded Questions, or as it's been re-named, Doorway to Hatred, for all of the crazy ideas that come out of the game. For some reason, I got picked on a bit, with discussions of my dick size (they exaggerated a little, I'd say) and Matty kept trying to transfer a slam on his ass, and it's proclivity that had been assigned to him in previous games. Just say no Matty, besides, wasn't it made clear that night that I'm a top? I sure came up, didn't it? All in all, a revealing game that seemed to shock those who hadn't played before.
2004 had started, and I settled down for a night's sleep with Chris. The next morning...well, afternoon, Skye, Matty and Matt joined us for brunch. Skye had stayed over at Matty's because of all the Tequila she had. She was sill a bit out of it. We had a good meal, and great conversation, getting to know more about Matt. matt will be opening a coffee house in the small Wisconsin town he lives in. Hopefully Matty will him onto Live journal so we can all see how he does. Matt's both intelligent and good looking.
Chris and I moved on and picked up some stuff at Fry's (I've been looking for an Atari Joystick that has the old games in it, and have had no luck in finding it). While at fry's we run into Seth, Zeke and Paul, three boys that I used to babysit for years ago. Apparently the boys were staying with the newly married Seth and his wife for the holidays. I introduced Chris as my friend...I really wasn't quite sure what to do about that. I wasn't sure how much the boys knew and I really didn't feel like coming out at Fry's, but I also felt like I wasn't really honoring Chris and what he means to me. Yet another strange situation.
We then went to a party at some friends of Chris'. It took me a while to warm up, but I had a nice time. It seemed like the Queer Eye marathon got most of the boy's attention. We would have stayed longer, but I needed to get ready to go, so pack up, grab a quick bite, and kiss the boyfriend goodbye once again. Had I known about work, I would have stayed for the weekend in Dallas, but ...
Still, I couldn't have missed out on that kiss.
