Haha! I made an audio post! Yeah it's harder than you think cuz (besides the fact that I think I was pretty much gone when I made it...don't even ask me...at least I don't sound like I'm TOTALLY wasted) it was a long distance call so I had to do the whole callin card thing. Why does Canada get excluded so much? :( Kiddin.

OK, the real New Yr's post! We hit up the liquor store at noon to get some booze and went back to G's for a bit. She friggin bought for Sarah, the lil 16 yr old. I'm all for fun but supplyin to a minor is just wrong, haha. I told her she's gonna make her an alky before she's 20 :P That Sarah is hardcore LOL Finally left for downtown, check-in was at 3. Yes, G wanted to get there asap just to get our money's worth LOL It's just weird how the Royal York had the lowest rates we checked. Who's a superstar? ;) We had to pop in a convenience store cuz G forgot her toothbrush AGAIN, got some food, bought some pop to put the vodka in.

The hotel was bling. We came in onto the 2nd floor and some guy with his dog was like, check-in's downstairs...have you seen the line? We look over the balcony and it was like an airport lineup. Ah well, G stood while me and L laid back on the couch :) The room was nice...but designed by a MAN LOL No mirror except in the bathroom...bigass walk-in closest but no mirror :P

Went to get ice, L struggled with the ice bucket lid, haha. Yeaaaah, drinkin at 4 in the afternoon LOL At least we had a bottle opener fo sho this yr...cuz it's on my key chain!

Don't remember if I said this before or after I started drinkin but I think the 1st time we went to get ice, me and L were makin comments about how the ice machine was in like a closet and the fire extinguishers were in a lil glass cabinet with a door too so the hotel had some door theme or somethin LOL and I totally blanked on what they were called so I was like, yeah the fire hydrants are behind doors too....did I say fire hydrant?? What're those spray thingys called again? L laughed at me but she didn't catch it til I mentioned it either so meh :P

But I did remember I said horseses, I'll admit that. Pris came over later to go out for dinner with us and I said, oh do you want a drink? We're bein terrible horseses. Yup, I called ourselves the plural of the plural of horse. I meant hostessess of course; I was slurring. Ah man, if you could only see the videotape, haha. It's gettin kinda worse lately tho. It's not new that I get pink in the face but it's always around the cheeks and now I've been gettin pink around the eyes. I looked like a crack addict. L wanted to open my Absolut and I said no but the ass did anyway and gave herself a straight shot of vodka and choked on it haha. That's what you get. I had to take my vodka in my big 1 litre Pepsi bottle in a wine glass cuz they took all the resta the normal glasses. Told myself I was gonna be a good girl this time and not puke this yr ;)

As usual G was bein a grandma and nappin in bed but we let her so she wouldn't have no excuse to bounce early from the club. She's got this thing where she's half-sleepin but she's still got this smile on her face. We're tapin her doin this and the covers are over her so we can't see where her hands are. Outta nowhere, she belts out, "If it makes you happyyyyyy!" You know, that Sheryl Crow song...and she's smilin and we're like, wtf. G, what're you doin under there?? LOL And apparently L heard her sing "If it makes ME happy" so we think she was havin fun with her solo, know what I'm sayin? ;) LMAO Jokes about that all night...as much as G denied it.

Pris has this obsession with tea and they ran outta creamer so we were lookin around for some more and saw the cleanin lady's cart in the hall but she came back out before I could shnag some. Stole some from another one later tho...and shampoo for L too even tho she yoinked every other free thing in the room cuz she's ghetto like that haha. We even caught the cleanin lady on tape goin, "Housekeepingggg!" Like in I Know What You Did Last Summer 2, where you gotta give it an accent and a sing-song-y thing to it LOL Some dude in the room down the hall from us thought we were tapin him cuz he was like, hey I'm not supposed to be on film. We're like, not YOU and he's like, yeah I see the red light, haha.

We broke the New Yr's tradition of us orderin pizza for dinner so we were goin out to eat. Went to Joe Bidali's cuz La Fenice was full so we walked over. Nice place (with a pool table, woo!) but the food wasn't all that. Apparently they had a system where your waiter lights the candle on your table so that they know you're bein served. He lit ours but it went out so while we were waitin for our food, a girl comes over in between L and Pris and says, has anyone said hi to you yet? Pris is like half deaf in one ear and L's not that much better so Pris is just like, lalala and L's got that huh? look on her face LOL We're all thinkin, uhhhh no one's technically said hi to us but we're bein served, yeah LOL Um yeah, we've ordered already! She's like, oh OK cuz your candle's not lit, I thought you were still waitin, and she re-lit it. We're like ohhhhh, OK now :P

Pris headed home and we went back to the hotel. Took a shower before bouncin for club. Never been to Piccadilly Circus before but it looked hype. Got there and it was lineup city. We're like, aw fuck it's like all the new yrs before all over again. We had this theory that every yr it got progressively worse. Limelight, we got in before midnight and we celebrated alright. Guvernment, the line was insane and it was mad packed but we were inside and celebratin midnight too. Docks, we just made it on the floor and Karma, we were still in the coat check line at midnight. L and G were buggin that we'd still be outside on the sidewalk when New Yr's came around :P We waited about an hr before we got in. Chatted with some guy in front of us. The dudes behind us were smashed and singin theme songs to old shows like Fresh Prince and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles LOL Go Piccadilly, they actually cared cuz they said it'd be 20 mins and there was no more coat check but they just wanted to make sure we'd be in before midnight (and free water, wassup!). Good thing we had tix cuz the other peeps in the other line were gonna be waitin a while. We were just happy we were inside at 11:30. I was like, see? Plenty of time...so pessimistic :P We took off our coats and just chucked them on the side of the platform.

A guy with a pointy party hat was wearin it around his neck so the the pointy part was at the back of his head and stabbin L in the face LOL Dude didn't notice til we took a pic of it and his buddy told him. What else, what else...I got hit up by some guys. The 1st just wanted to dance but he was high or somethin, haha. He kissed me then jetted. The 2nd hit on me tryin to get my digits while I was at the bar, cuz L was sittin out for a bit. I'm like, sure whatever and gave him my # with his faulty ass pen and he's like blamin me that I broke it LOL Big damn playa. He had to put my digits into his boy's cell, haha. His buddy that was beside him looked so much like Matt. I was gonna ask him if he was Matt's cousin or somethin *wink wink*, fully knowin that he wasn't LOL but not in front of his friend, I'm not mean :P Damn, I never remember any of their names! The 3rd guy was eyein me all night and busted my left ear drum yellin in it. At least he apologized in advance cuz he was hammered haha. He tried to ask me out but I'm like, I'm pretty busy this month LOL Dry. Ah well, gave him my # too. They better not call me LOL

Oh here's a highlight. So while L's sittin her lame ass out at the bar by herself, me and G are still dancin on the floor and we see her chattin with some chick, smilin and jokin. I'm like, haha, look, L made a new friend. We come up to her later and were like, who was that? L's like, I dunno, some girl. I said, yeah you were lookin kinda chummy and I was like, aww L made a new friend. She's like, yeaaah she was hittin on me. I'm like, shut the fuck up LOL So she maintains that the chick was hittin on her and she was no questions lesbian but I'm all like, she was probably bein friendly, just tryin to get you to dance....god! So that whole thing is now known as 'when L was hit on by a lesbian' LOL Which is possible tho, cuz I wasn't there :P

We kept runnin into the guy from the line. I saw him for the 3rd time was like, hey! So we finally did the formal name and handshake thing. Yeah forgot his name too :P Super nice guy. He was watchin our backs from that dude who was stupid hammered and floppin all over and bumpin ppl.

I was nowhere near tired by the time we got back to the hotel so we went exploring and took pix and shit. They were doin the whole New Yr's security thing before you could get on the elevators and up to your room again. We were hungry so we called but the Pizza Pizza closest to us were closed. And nuthin else was open either. I rolled a j in the room but I forgot a lighter (dumbass!) so we went lookin for someone with matches. Didn't want to borrow someone's lighter cuz I didn't wanna show everybody I had weed haha. I asked some smokers and every concierge person but no matches. Plus there were cops outside the front doors :P So we went around the back way and went outside. Then we realized there were a buncha hot dog vendors across the street. Thank you, hot dog guys! A couple of loaded guys came up while we were gettin our food and we're just like, omg do you know what you're even sayin? Really, how do you expect us to have a convo with you? 1 of them goes to me, what's your name? It's either DKNY (the label on my coat) or Gorgeous *eye roll* LOL

We go back in the hotel and we're sittin in the wing eatin and another guy stops and starts chattin it up. At least this 1 was sober...and pretty hot LOL We talk about where we went that night and stuff and he says somethin about havin to take a pic of 3 pretty girls and takes my camera and snaps one. I'm like, you hafta be in one but he wasn't havin it, sayin he'd ruin it LOL I'm like, fool, I don't want you bein the one TAKIN the picture, be IN it! Haha. Some girls walked by and he turned and was like, what a gwan? They double-take quick and 1 of them's like, wha? Ooohh! LOL He turned back to us and was like, sorry had to do it. Mad funny. He says him and his friends are goin to Film Lounge for drinks later but G and L are just about out so I knew they weren't gonna be down for it, but he says to call his room in like half an hr. I tried when we got back to our room but I almost forgot what he said he room # was...I got the front desk or somethin anyway so :P

G's already in bed and L's gettin ready for bed and she's got this mud mask or some shit on her face and in her PJs. We hear somebody say somethin like, yeah there's another card? (or cart?) on the end. Then there's a knock on our door. L freaks cuz she thinks I'm gonna open the door and she runs into the bathroom LOL I look in the peephole and I don't recognize the dude. He waits but then goes away. L's like who was that? I'm like, no friggin clue. Thought he might've been that picture guy's friend or somethin comin to get us, I dunno. L thinks he was with peeps lookin for doors with the Privacy sign thing on it (she put it on for some reason :P). Shoulda opened the door haha.

It's like 5 somethin in the morning and I'm still antsy so I roam around by myself. I even see the newspaper guy hangin the day's paper on the doors :P I'm on my cell tryin to make my audio post, walkin around the halls. A guy standin outside a room is like, you're still up? I'm like, haha what're YOU still doin up? He's like, true. I asked if he was locked out but he said he was just waitin for a buddy. Then him and his 2 friends went down to drink up some more. 1 was smokin in the hall and had a drink in his hand, haha. Guess no one gives a rat's ass at 6 am :P

Finally went to sleep but the rasses got me up at 10 so I had 4 hrs sleep. Even tho checkout's at 12. Paranoid fucks :P No one was lined up so they got me up early for no reason. L was wakin me up and I'm like, I had the WEIRDEST dream...but I don't remember what it was...but you were there, and G was there...and Toto too LOL She didn't really get it so I'm like, Wizard of Oz, loser. Then we I got home, I had taped a bit of Dick Clark's New Yr's Eve thing and just so happened that I saw the new M&M commercials. They're black and white and 1 of them was a scene from the Wiz, doin the whole "You were there, and you were there" thing! Freaky.

I really did have a weirdo dream but it's messed up how I remember I had one but not what it was about :P So I tried to stay up that afternoon but I knew I'd crash sometime. Slept for a few hrs in the evening. Did the family dinner thing. Then went out to Timmy's later :P

Oh yeah, last best phrase of the yr: "Money woo, money money WOO!" LOL Billy S and Ed the Sock :)

Lunch was good...like a hs thang all over again: Jay, Jase, Chris, and Al. Jay told us all his trip to Europe stories...crazy. I'm glad I know all these smart, cool peeps cuz they're mos def gonna have the life later on...and I can say I knew them ;) Or be all about the "hey, let's go hang, you rich successful bastard" LOL Me and L saw Jen at the mall yesterday which is weird cuz I haven't seen her in so long and I was gonna see her brother the next day. She's a paralegal now, go Jen!

J and Chris are drivin Al to work in Sauga so she's just glad she won't take an hr and a half to get there today :P Poor chick's gotta work on New Yr's eve til 11 so she'll be ridin in a car at midnight...who knew some ppl watch the Weather Network that hardcore!

I think me and L will be doin somethin later. Plus I know they're gonna wanna go over the New Yr's stuff...it's tomorrow, what!

Thought we might do somethin with the crew that we don't see much of for 1 of those get-togethers but Fish ain't home, Pris hasn't called me back yet (probably still strugglin to fix her TV, haha) and Al lied and is doin somethin tonight LOL Dammit ppl, can't we se eachother when you're all actually home for the break? :P Maybe tomorrow.

J just called me about goin out to lunch on Tues with Jay (haha). I haven't seen him in forever. And Chris! Friggin gotta see her before she leaves for Cali. As much as I hate to say it, but the break's almost over and school starts again in like a week...and me and J and Al still haven't gone down to Waterloo and I still haven't even SEEN Fish yet. Dammit, I'm gonna milk this month for all it's worth, yo ;)

And OMG my dad bought the very same Tower of Power stereo system on sale that me and L were lookin at. The speakers are huge! Can you say POWER?? Oooh can't wait to try out those bad boys.

Yesterday was mad crazy on my head. G wanted to hit the Metro Ref library downtown and I wanted to get some deals at Sam but I figured I'd just ride down with her but she wanted me to come too. I'm like, aw, do you want me to come come with you to the library? She's like, yes please...and I'll come come with you to Sam's! Haha, like our language huh? So I had to just sit there in the library while she did her school shit. Smart chick that I am tho, I had my CD player so I'm there zonin to music, then of course I got bored and I'm like screw it and started flippin thru whatever books that someone left on the table. Got some good readin done on 'famous and unique foreign and classic quotations' LOL Made me think tho...very insightful. I had nuthin else to do for a couple hrs, well :P

G got done so we got some pizza and tried to figure out which way to go after cuz Sam's is a few subway stops away. Knowin G and her messed up thing with cold, I'm like, do you wanna walk it cuz it's about 3 whole subways stops (not blocks) away...if not, it's cool we can hop on the subway again. Suprisingly, she said she could brave it, haha. I'm like, yeah we're big girls, some fresh air, some exercise...it's not THAT far, we can do it. K the weather was way better than usual but it was still frickin cold.

And it's a fact: G sucks at directions...worse than I do, which is really sayin somethin. She rationalized with her lil trusty subway map that the library was on this side of this street so this intersects this and this street should be over here so we should go this way to get to Sam. Wrong. I shoulda looked at it and not trusted her LOL It's on Dundas, right where Eaton Centre is so it's cake but we were on Bloor so we weren't too sure how to get there from where we were. So I go on faith and she's like, we better be goin the right way cuz I don't wanna look like a dumbass if we hafta walk past the pizza place and ppl see us again. I'm like, you're such a loser, like they'd care LOL I said, we'll find out when we get to the next main intersection. Yeah, wrong way. I'm like, gimme that map. I dunno what or where she was lookin but she was totally off. I'm like, what're you LOOKIN at? These intersect so how could we pass them?? LOL We gotta go the other way! We went into some bookstore to ask somebody just to make sure.

Me: "Hiii, do you know which way is Yonge and Dundas?"
Girl: *Looks at us like we're half-dumb, half-weird* "Umm, that way?" *Points in opposite direction*
Me: *Turning to G* "Ha, I knew it!" *Turning back to the girl* "OK thanks!"
Girl: "And it's like a 20 min walk."
Me: "Yeah we know! Bye!" LOL

I rule. And I just love stickin it to G that she was so wrong..."Never trustin YOU again!" "I'm SORRY!" :)

Yeah so we walked a good 20 mins outside in the cold (saved on subway fare, yeah!) and went in and outta a few stores along the way. Figured it'd make sense to get a lil more shoppin in anyhow. It actually wasn't that bad. You know how long distances go by easier and quicker when you're with somebody and the time passes when you're chattin as you walk.

I was kinda worried that the Boxing Day sale at Sam was still gonna be insane even tho it was the 2nd day of it and there might be a long ass line outside but we got there sorta late so it had died down. We could be indoors, exxxcellent. So between there and the flagship HMV and Sunrise, we were goin back and forth seein if we were gettin the cheapest price. 20% off everythin in Sam, nice. But I was thinkin that Futureshop usually has cheap stuff but I hadn't been there recently so I didn't know if they had the DVDs or if they'd even be cheaper. Agh, decisions! After lots of deliberatin, I got Avril's DVD from HMV and Justin's from Sam...all for about $34, taxes included :) We were in there a while. G got the 2 Mummy movies on VHS for like $10, haha.

Then we hit up EC but we didn't know they were closin at 7 so we only had like half an hr :P Went back on the subway and took the bus to get off near Heather's work so G could pick up the car and drive the resta the way home. MORE walkin from the bus stop to Shopper's.

Later that night, us and Vick and L went to Timmy's. Had my contacts in since noon. Oh side note, some relatives of some sort were over before I left that afternoon and their kid was wanderin around. My sister came in my room and was like, who's that kid? I said I had no idea. She's like, he came in my room while I was in bed and he waved and I'm like, who're you?? LOL Then they watched Spongebob, haha. Anyway, while we were at Timmy's we touched on how I bought so much stuff with my credit card and I'm like, yeah I should figure out how much I put on it and made a list of everythin. Vick our resident accountant/math smartie totalled it up and it was like 400 somethin dollars. I didn't realize til then but I was like, fuuuuuuck. Then it all dawned on me. I bought too much stuff, man. FUCK. I was all happy when I got my DVDs but then I felt like shit all night LOL Which many would say was deservingly. Yeah yeah I know, I should know how much I spent since I'm the one who bought it all :P And I was pretty much becomin L and G goin buck wild with the credit cards. But really, after New Yr's, that's all that I was gonna use it for cuz I bought what I needed already. It just so happened that this was a bad month cuz I went bananas in the span of Dec. Woulda been smarter to stretch it out over a longer time but...the sales! It's not like I bought a $300 Gucci purse and $100 kicks or anythin...I bought lotsa stuff! LOL So I stressed myself mentally yesterday mos def. Then I realized I didn't know what my credit line was so I might be near my max already! Time to worry! I didn't even pay for New Yr's yet but the hotel was booked already so I'd be SCREWED. I'm like, shit, guys what if my max is 500? See, before I was all chill cuz Vick (who works at a bank) was talkin about how if you're under your parents, the limit should be a bit higher cuz your rents' credit is a lot more. Now Vick made it worse by sayin stuff about if it's a parent/child thing and it's the 1st card and whatnot, it wouldn't be that much. Told me to call the number on the back of my card to check my account and stuff. Got my balance and all my purchases but no credit line. Yes I do realize it'd make sense to just ASK the rents but you don't even know LOL esp since they'd be hit with a 400 somethin bill for the month and they don't know it :P

SO I checked the website (yay...I'm such a newbie at this) and found out I could just set up a sign-in thing and check my account. Dunno what the hell I was buggin about cuz my limit's like $3400!! Nooooo worries! LOL But OK OK, after New Yr's, I'm done for real. That's the last thing I gotta pay for so I'm good. I was so worried that I might not be able to do New Yr's that I was stressin about wearin the boots and PJs I bought cuz I hadn't touched them yet so if I needed to, I could return them :P Shame. And my precious Avril DVD I just bought :( I couldn't with the JT one tho cuz Sam was no returns, just exchanges....plus I already opened it (had to listen to the bonus CD on the subway *ashamed face* Haha.) And I broke the fuckin DVD holder thingy where you press the circle in the middle to take it out, cuz I dropped it in Shopper's while tryin to take my gloves off :P That's just my luck too. I purposely try to pick CDs and stuff (like not the 1st ones in the front) that look OK on the outside cuz I usually end up with a case that's broken inside or a crack or dent or somethin. And then I go and drop this one. Thought it'd be OK cuz it came in a big box case thing. Oh well, s'all good now, it's straight. I can open my Avril DVD now :)
