Magical Tipsy Toes

This year has been ridiculous. That’s why I wrote to 2006….a short, simple, straight to the point letter. But then I got to thinking…. If I’m not feeling all Chrismassy, then how will Best Buds, Cousins, Office Buds, Blog Buds feel Chrismassy?

So once again, a walk down memory brain was much needed.

It all began with 1st January 2006….Esplande. Best Buds and myself. We brought in the year with beautiful, spectacular fireworks. We had champagne that refused to pop at the right time….and I remember as I watched you guys watching the fireworks..while your outfits were covered with foam snow….I remember I thought….Looks like this year is gonna be awesome.

I wouldn’t say awesome…but more… “Hmm…it’s alright. Could be better….Could be worse.” We saw fireworks…..we fought on the 2nd day of the new year at cold storage and ended up at your place for spaghetti and laughed at Troop Beverly Hills till late at night.

Then the planning for Nita’s Engagement came around. Sure, there were a little harsh feelings and words going around…but it was a heck of a party. So, I found out certain information that took me by surprise and made me want to lash out…but I realized some things just aren’t worth it. Some of us decided to take matters in our own hands and satisfy our needs by running of to see a book a boy had. We all found out about the Llama song. That made us secretly sing when we were alone. We knew that Bronzy was feeling kinda blue cause Goldie was just being Goldie. We stayed at the Hyatt for two days…had a hen party and then drinks again at Brewerkz…with silly stories all over the table.

The parents went away and we found out that “Water Bomb Days” were still fun. We drank champagne and ate a lot of jello shots. Neighbours got angry. We didn’t care. We washed each other’s hair and did an Herbal Essences commercial on the road side with lovely smelling shampoo. We all became prepared for a fight as we took leave and trudge to the far away place to be in combat attire. We realized that Lav and Mike were actually trained by the army. And that Steven loves to run around and shot people at strange places. New found disgust and hatred for cockroaches made us discuss them at length. We lost a lot of sleep this year. It would have been worth it if Brazil won. But it was alright….cause Italy finally got. They must have heard Dawn’s frequent prayers.

We even waved Best Bud off at the airport…panicked she didn’t call and worried that her plane didn’t land. Found out that even with the advanced modern day technology..some place still don’t have it even if they say they are spiffy. Realized just how much you can love someone and not understand it. Then blabber it all when you’re drunk only to have that person look at you and say, “it’s ok”. Made choices we regretted. Tried to be magical and wish ourselves away but still can’t remember why every 25th of the month is important.

This year made us realize that boys are indeed fucking guys. We had pizza delivered to us at a park called King’s Mansion. We played far too much. Cried more than we should. And laughed like we never laughed before. We realize that sometimes it’s best not to go away from the office because you might come back with a table so damn messy. We found out that other people can do alone time, but I seriously can’t.

We found out that Kim can do a mean “Moon Patrol”. And found out that Susiepie is hilarious and deep down inside Paris Hilton wants to be her instead. And Sonia is actually a secret alcoholic. That the office buds are a fun bunch with crazy antics. Some cried in office because we didn’t understand why the heart aches so badly. We found out about people who broke hearts. We found out that when broken hearts are broken…as much as you try to fix them, you can’t. So you use plaster to hold it in place.

We made friends with blog buddies. That Abby is a little off her rockers when it comes to parties…and Chrysalis enjoys his absinthe and things. And Staticbrain is related to Sweet_One For Now & Cueball who have been extremely lovely. We ran away from old blogs….came up with new, spiffy ones. That Penny and Pen steal pies from people and we all just had to vote for Herb while sipping rum under the Banyan Tree. And plans with Chrysalis are on the way.

We fell in love with Cranium….danced to the beat of the Conga and then needed to dash on the Balder trying to figure out why the boys just had to bury their damn dead cat in the desert and forget to bring water. And that’s how we got Bamboozled!!

We watched way too many movies. X-men came along and made us go… “Whoaa” and Oprah made us love her even more. We weren’t very happy with TomKat and secretly hope he’ll go bald one day. We found out that Dawn is actually a wild girl at heart, but just shy. Mike like to smell his bellybutton and Kat is actually stronger with protecting her heart. And that Lav amongst all the shits that’s been brewing at all fronts, she still has ten hearts. That Lisa had her share of the blues…but she comes to work and makes me laugh and says silly things and realizes that life is such. We got angry at Andrei and Steven for being the prick that they sometimes are…but they make Mike and Kat happy…and that’s all there is to it.

We found out that Dawn gets all giddy and high when she talks about friends. And Lav is still demanding about her water. And Mike loves dancing sessy and in public. Kat graduated from Nursing…and is now a part of the industry that helps the sick. We lost some things. It made us blue and sad. That girls do have multiple orgasm much to someone’s disbelief.

We got our hearts broken, smashed and thrown apart…and even sometimes plasters don’t work anymore….so the discussion of love got even deeper but still we fucking crave it. Broke our shoulder, had a terrible back ache, killed a couple of toes till they were black, fell and grabbed someone’s boobs…Found out that Arab Street is quite rockin’. Had piles and then fell ill again one by one..taking turns. Shat in our pants in an hour of desperation and had absolute no shame to tell the story.

We got rejected by jobs we so desperately wanted. We fought a lot….with family more. Sat in a death cab and lived to tell the tale. We complained about the haze and yet we still smoke. Mike learned how to eat with his fingers. Lav bakes the most awesome cupcakes that leave you wanting more. Kelly absolutely loves pie even though she’s never tasted it and Kat taught someone that a baby doesn’t expand. And Dawn’s been training some pretty girls to stand on their own.

Bastard Boy and Slut Girl are still sometimes defending the world from Mist Emotions….

Ah, my head is full of these things I think of from time to time. I’ve seen you all love, get angry, be so sad and then crying and having your heart break over and over,,,,,,,Ahhh… 2006, you are indeed a tricky bastard.

But then again, we did laugh as much as we cried. And I guess it’s not so bad after all.

So to those who aren’t feeling spiffy….who’s feeling down and blue and lost. Especially to you two….(yep, you know who you are)
