happy new years! i cant believe its already 2005. joel and i were talking about how.. we actually get to go to our 10 year high school reunions. kinda scary. i remember when i was sitting at home in hawaii and my sister came back to hawaii for hers. She seemed so much older at 27 than i do. in fact, my sister has always seemed just so much older at any given age. i always feel like I’m 18 and she’s 27.

so last nite was pretty fun. joel and i decided to not go out this new years and just invited close friends over. chad, nina, bryan, and kien showed up. chad had called the day before asking when they should show up and if they should bring anything. i said just bring a bottle of wine or whatever liquor you wanted to drink. he replied with “oh, we’ll bring lots of alcohol”. I took that as maybe a few bottles. he showed up with an entire bar i swear. he had the cool party buddy shot holder. we already had about 7 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of champagne in addition to chads entire traveling alcoholic survival kit.

there was TONS of food. we had aimed for like just having finger foods ppl could munch on all night. I had hand made lumpia, along with gyoza and shumai. We had my famous spam fried rice along with a pot roast we slow cooked in a crock pot for 8 hours. For the first time we also did kabobs (beef kabobs) which were really good, some cornbread for bryan, and some marinated kal-bi for the win!

We actually had more food we were going to prepare but decided to stop cooking as ppl started to get stuffed with he current food set. So we held off on some delicious burn your asshole the next day sausages along with some spam musubi! Joel and i ate all the char sui bao earlier so there was none left for the party haha!

I had a great time. It was a really small get together but I find those are far more satisfying and enjoyable. TOO BAD SAM CHO DIDNT WANT TO SHOW UP AND PLAYED WOW INSTEAD. sam sux. sam you fucker you missed a grip of delicious food and alcoholic intake.

much to our surprise nuggie stopped by too! it was a nice surprise too, he had a really cute girl in tow, turns out she’s astralvash and xryla’s sister. 2 guys i played ffxi with. go nuggie!

anyway i just woke up. i have to clean up the rest of the house.. sorry for the scattered post but I’m out of it and wanted to wish everyone a happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!
