Cribbed from a post by faerievixen2 as well as one from schnookiemuffin:

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here’s a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: “Ah, there’s so and so…they listen in rapture to the love-music of she-turnips.”

I’d love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people whom I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

Wow. Just wow

So from about 10:30 until 6:30 we hit the ground and hit it Really hard.

Thanks to Sidhefire clan:nascar24_48 andvismaya_viewer (who’s LJ’s I need to look up) and their SUV
Alligators: ladyaraia and quetz with Godzilla!
MSFTies: sea_gaagii (and the exterra), philkensebben (and boys), and killer props to papertygre who’s help went beyond amazing including fastening a table to her car and fetching lunch.
ATC kept up a punch with princekermit and Raphael.. with the amazing silver pickup
And the man who can fall into no definition: glitch25

And two women who make me incredibly happy: faerievixen2 and polanegri.

There is no way that elocinnuala, shimmeringjemmy, aiden_freeman and I could have accomplished what you all did today.

Blessings upon each and every one of you.

They say you should start the new year in a manner that you want the year to play out.

Looks at checklistcheck.

About a week and a half ago, I decided to continue what is now become about a 5-6 year tradition. Andrei’s 3 year New-Year’s rotation.

Year one: Go to friends for New Years
Year two: Take an awesome trip somewhere
Year three: Host a shindig.

And looking back:
’05-06: Portland
’04-05: A wonderful night at elqahar‘s
’03-04: Well, at least there was scrabble… ahem
’02-03: Las Vegas
’01-02: Friends in Pasadena with intent on going to the rose parade.

So we sent out a quick evite. If you are local and I didn’t get an evite out to you this year… huge apologies. It was planned late and we were trying to estimate how many could fit.

I made my usual host-run to the super market. Remembering everything except pineapple juice.(hee hee hee) (There were 4 ‘hee’s and then I felt, 3 was more than enough). Veggies, peel and eat shrimp, soda, chips, and bubbly.

Now let me find my RomperRoom magick mirror and look around:
faerievixen2 and glitch25, herne51 and his three friends: (kethar, eternal_synn, and R)
princekermit, elocinnuala, and the highly entertaining 1_wolfsong
jackal_child even came out of moth balls to drop in. She seems to have gotten along with my other friends.
Of course there were the usual band of suspects around: shimmeringjemmy, lordandrei, aiden_freeman, and cute_evil.

So 12, a child, and a cat.

The highlight of the December evening was tuning in Dick Clark and looking at the Disney Animatronic that he has turned into. We realized after 10 minutes that Dick doesn’t blink. After about another 10 minutes he blinked. Everyone took a drink. The DC Rocking NYE was hilarious. They showed a scary Gwen Stafani wannabe entertaining and they’d occasionally cut to audience members. Usually with looks of horror and disgust. This means the segment director will either get a promotion or fired. 🙂

aiden_freeman actually was a dream. After about 8 pm. He actually ‘went down’. Heather put him in bed and he napped rather successfully. He woke at about 11:55 pm. Fortunately, shimmeringjemmy was able to make it downstairs with him latched with 45 seconds to go. So, aiden_freeman rang in the new year attached to a breast. So we know what his 2007 will be like.

After midnight there was much bubbly and discussion of the house rules. More on that in a separate post. Many people brought ale and mead, and other snacks. I think we still have an unopened Pecan Pie. herne51 and his new housemate eventually wound up crashed in the den. princekermit and the twins wound up crashed in the temple. (Hey, he’s a priest… it was appropriate accommodations)

Sadly we never got around to playing the new “Munchkin Impossible”

The overnighter’s headed out around 11:30 to go be Polar Bears on New Years. (Shiver)… I’ve begun the digging out from cans, bottles, and glasses.

aiden_freeman is now happily riding and being spastic in his chair. Which we got for about half price at a “Just For Kids” consignment store. shimmeringjemmy is writing her beginning of the year post as well.

All-in-all… this year has started exactly how I’d like the rest of the year to be.

Yay.

So, I’ve reactivated my Netflix once again-again.

Translation: I found those discs that came in about 3 months ago and sent them back in.

So.. once again I find myeslf asking the all important question….

Are you on Netflix? Can I add you to share recommendations?

If you’d like to link to my Netflix. Just click this link.

That is all.

I said this would be up by 6pm. I can say in all honesty it is late because of Snow.

Yes! Snow, snow, SNOW!!!

Anyways…. From the memes (which you can still add to here:
