I am a slacker when it comes to posting, but now I have a whole boring week's worth of un-newsworthy events from my life.

NEW YEARS EVE 2004- Steph, Joe and I went to downtown Geneva to ring in the new year and found that the rest of Geneva had chosen NOT to go out, lol. So we ran into Emily Bonacci (I don't know her married name, but it doesn't matter cause she's getting a divorce I think) at Gallaghers and she made us go to Wylie J's. Mind you, I don't think I've been to Wylie J's since New Year's Eve 2002 and that's only because I was involved with the bouncer. It ended up being a lot of fun since we had already done some shots and there was a band/dj to dance to. The ball dropped and we chugged Champagne. Steph abandoned us cause she was wasted and Joe and I ventured up the street to see if there was anyone at the other bars and there wasn't, so we returned to our origin bar Gallagher's where we met up with Stacey, Ryan, the Yannotti family (Johnny, Angie, Nicki), and Danielle. I don't remember much except sitting on the actual bar and Danielle calling everyone a "whore". We ended up having a great time all hanging out even thought they had stopped serving. Joe and I walked home later and I got shouted at by a driverby and that was the night!

NEW YEARS DAY 2005- I was very, very, very hungover on this 1st Saturday of the year and I regretted ever agreeing to work, but I headed into Wegmans anyways. It was a pretty horrible day for more than one reason I found out when I got in. The store manager and my department manager called me into their office to tell me that my co-worker Bruce Curtis had been driving in the early morning and struck a tree and died. I was shocked to say the least and was pretty upset. I had just worked with him the night before and he was all excited about his trip to Florida he was making to go deep-sea fishing. He was an extremely intelligent and kind person. We're going to miss him a lot.

I can't remember what I did Sunday other than work. Monday I worked again (surprise, surprise!). I had a visitor come in and take my break with me and proceed to try and make plans for later. Fortunately for me I didn't depend on these plans and decided to hang out with Joe, since this visitor of mine has a tendency to disappoint me. It's a good thing I made plans with Joe too since I didn't even hear from this person, and still haven't, mind you. Joe and I ended up watching Anchorman which is by far my favorite movie at the moment. The bloopers reel is hilarious too. I'm so glad I bought the DVD.

Tuesday night Joe, Lisa (from the Deli), and I headed up to Rochester to go to a gay bar Joe wanted to visit. It was lesbian night apparently and also karaoke night, two of my favorite things in the world, lol. Erica and Andrew met up with us there too. I only had 2 drinks because I was driving, but that didn't stop me from singing my version of Sir-Mix-a-Lot's classic Baby Got Back. It was a big hit and Lisa was my back up dancer, lol. We met some pretty interesting charaters and there were a lot of gay guys there considering it was lesbian night, lol. Joe saw his soulmate, but unfortunately I was the only one who had the guts to talk to him, lol. It was a really fun night out and it was the first time I went out with Lisa. She is awesome, I look forward to dragging her out with us a lot more in the future.

Thursday night Joe wanted to go out, so I grudgingly got ready to go even though I wasn't crazy about the idea, but thank god he forced me to, lol. We met up with the Yannotis, and Danielle at Gallagher's. There were also a bunch of people from high school, etc that were out and I got to catch up with them which was nice. I think I only had one beer, but it was cool cause I just hung out and talked to people in conversations that I will actually remember, lol. Joe and I mostly talked to Johnny all night. He's a riot. Angie was pretty drunk, but I was trying to give her advice on problem, which I'm sure I'll have to give her again when she's able to actually remember the conversation, lol. That's the downside of being sober in a room full of drunks, lol.

Yesterday I had my interview at Wegmans for a full time position there. I think it went well. I'm not sure they'll be able to pay me what I can make somewhere else though, so we'll see if it's something I'll be able to accept if offered. After the interview I went with a bunch of people I work with to Bruce's memorial service. I thought I would be able to stay composed, but it obviously was very sad and I went through plenty of tissues. There were a lot people there, so I hope his parents and family could see how many people's lives Bruce affected.

Last night Joey and I headed downtown for what I thought would be a drunken night out since I didn't have to work til 4:30 today. Unfortunately there was no one downtown at any of the bars (believe me, we checked them all, lol). So we just ended up having a few casual drinks which is actually fine with me. I always have a good time hanging out with Joe and the other people that are out are just a bonus really. I might even go so far as saying he is "my gay soulmate", lol. Hopefully tonight we will see more people that we can eye all night, lol. My friend Denise from high school just called and wants to go out in G-town so that's a good start, right? This post is entirely too long now, so I am going to save posting my New Year's Resolutions for another time! Happy New Year everyone!
