December, 2001:

Justin… I highly doubt you like “Moose Turd Pie” by Utah Phillips. I think you just added it because it had Turd in the title.

And I am now laughing so hard I am going to burst.

The bastard (farrisgoldstein) who put Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” on tonight’s playlist should be shot. It should also be noted that this person is reponsible for MC Hammer’s “You can’t touch this” and a Rachmaninoff Sonata.

Okay…

The music server for NYE2k2 seems to be working perfectly. So… unless you really like my music… get in there and vote for some…

http://chupacabra.inkshop.org/tunez/

The playlist will remain as it is until 9:30pm. This means… you can go vote for 100 songs or so… so you don’t have to do it later when you start bitching about my crappy music choices.

Also, remember. Just because it is already in the playlist, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote for it. The more votes a song has, the sooner it plays.

Oops. Mike just called… and Allison asked to talk to me. Someone set her up an LJ account (aryanm) and she read my little comment about her in my last NYE2k2 update.

Erm. Oops. This place (LJ) is getting way too big.

*waves to Allison*

I’m heading home now. Those of you who wanted to help setup or cleanup, those of you who are bringing stuff that needs to be there early, those of you who would like to keep me company and those of you who have nothing better to do can all show up anytime after 4:00pm.

Okay…

This is EXPERIMENTAL… so try it out… but let me know if there are any problems, instead of breaking it further.

Go here… sign up for an account… and then play with the interface. You’ll be able to hear the music at the party… but you can’t hear it from home… I don’t have enough bandwidth to stream it to you all.

Also… this is MOST of the music I have. If what you would like to hear isn’t in this system… then let me know and I’ll try to find it. Or you can bring it with you.

Now lets recount the rules:

• Thou shalt not steal. If you are caught stealing from me, I will personally cut both of your hands off and sell them on the black market.
  
• Thou shalt not vomit on the carpet. If you are not responsible enough to control your drinking enough to not vomit, or at least control where it is you vomit, then don’t drink. Not only do I not want to clean up after to you, but the smell of puke can really clear out a party, and fast.
  
• Thou shalt not snort lines of coke on my bathroom sink. Period.
  
• Thou shalt not use my razor for any reason. Should you choose to shave your pubic hair while in attendance, use your own razor. And please, clean up after yourself.
  
• Thou shalt not perform sexual activities, either alone, or with another individual, in the privacy of a bathroom, closet, bedroom, or garage. While sexual activity is encouraged… we all want to watch. That’s what the living room is for.
  
• Thou shalt not leave the party, steal street signs, and then return them to the party. While such activities can be enjoyable, they are illegal and should not be linked to such a large group of people.

Finding the actual apartment can be kinda tough. If you have a cell phone, call when you get close and I’ll come outside so you can find it. If you don’t, dial #0023 at the gate (even if it is open) and it will call me so I know to come out and get you.

Bring enough food and drink for yourself… then we can all share when you get here. If you, for some reason *ahem*minor*ahem* are unable to purchase alcohol and would like some, give me a call and I’ll see what I can do.

Most people are showing up around 10:00pm or so. You are more than welcome to come earlier, however, I can’t be held accountable for the condition of the apartment at that time.

Admission will be enough food and drink for yourself OR money to chip in for pre-purchased food and drink AND (for females only) three items of clothing (my choice) to be given back at the end of the evening.

Bring a pillow and a blanket if you plan on drinking, just in case you end up spending the night.

Novelty condoms and lubricants are available for $0.75 each. This residence cannot be held accountable for lost clothing, unplanned pregnancies, newly formed drug habits, hangovers, or loss of ability to have fun after experiencing this event.

If you don’t like my

I’m going to try and get off work early to take care of last minute things. several of you have offered to help with last minute this and thats.

Who wants to come keep my company while I finish cleaning? Jaclyn was here helping for a while, but now she’s going over to Matt’s. And I am way too tempted to just sit here all night without someone to talk to while I clean. There isn’t much left. Maybe an hour or so at the most.

I decided that I wanted to put my hair into cornrows… but I couldn’t find anyone willing to help me do it for free, and I didn’t want to pay for it. So I asked Bonnie if she would just do one cornrow down the middle. She agreed and so the next day I went over to Justin’s house where she was so she could do it. It only took her a couple of minutes and when she was done she said, “It’s not nice at all.”

I was confused so I asked her, “Do you mean my hair isn’t nice, or that my hair doesn’t look nice with one cornrow down the middle?”

She didn’t hear me and walked out of the room. I got out of my chair and followed her. Suddenly, somehow, Justin’s apartment turned into a maze. I wandered all over looking for her… but I never found her. I was very upset at the fact that anyone would consider my hair not nice (unhealthy).

I know where the cornrows part of that dream came from. Jaclyn and I were in Chic-Fil-A yesterday and there were a couple of guys in there with cornrows. I was joking around with her about how I wanted to do my hair like that for the party, but I didn’t want to pay to have it done. So that part makes sense to me. The rest is just odd.
