Cat Socks, Sequin Shorts and a Mink Farmer

This post is not up lifting.

I have no deep insight.

I just want to write down every epic part of my night / morning before I come off this high it gave me and I'm back to reality.

So I started off my night with my favorite sandwich ever, peanut butter and bananas.

Ya that shit is bananas.

I don't usually eat peanut butter because it freaks me out with the fat content, it's an anorexic thing, but this time it was ok because I knew I'd be dancing it all off.

Then my friend came over and we got ready together. She gets me like no one else does. Like half the time I don't have to finish my sentence and she knows what I'm going to say. She likes me for me, even though I'm really weird, but so is she. It works.

I can't think of a better person to ring in 2012 with.

So after putting on insane amounts of glitter we head to WaMu Theater to see NERO!

Yup with a face like that who wouldn't want to dance with me?

Please note my slight sarcasm.

We get into the venue and venture to every beer garden to find our friends.

View from said beer garden. aka we found them.

So off we go to dance to Congorock. He was pretty decent my friends.

So my friend has a dance partner. I do not. I get bored dancing alone and start to fret about my NYE kiss (about 1.5 hours away) when I see him. Tall blond sexy man. I swallow my fear and ask him to dance. He says yes. Great success. I stay with him most of the night. Find out he's a mink farmer from Portland and also a gentleman and possibly gay :)

Midnight hits white and gold balloons fall ... confetti sticks to me ... EVERYWHERE. Yes I had some in my bra when I came home.

Then Nero comes on. OMGHOLYMOLYSOFUCKINGGOOD.

So I'm in love and quickly losing my hearing and loving it.

My new man friend leaves for a bit and I look to my right to see a friend from school. I haven't seen him in years? He was on the cheer squad and yells "Do you want to go on my shoulders?"

Oh no! No I do not. That is scary and not safe. I think I'll stay down here like a pansy.

Is my first reaction.

But then I get a brain in my head and realize OMG YES I DO.

So up I go!

Then Nero starts mixing my favorite song...

I'm thinking is this real life?

Yes. Yes it is. So I stay up there until I'm convinced that I'm going to crush my friend.

Dance the rest of the night away. Alana Watson came on a couple times too. I wish I was her. However I do not sing and I do not know Nero. Fail.

After an amazing show about 1? Nero leaves. I scream that I'll have his children if he wants. He doesn't respond.

We break. Then I go back for Portland's number. He asks me for mine. He's really cute the way he shakes his little booty. I'm 99% sure he's not straight by now.

Then Tritonal comes on. Never heard of them but my man for the night is in love and I can see why. They are great! Check em out.

So we leave. Get hollered at by a zillion people back to the car. Lovely.

Get home but my nights not over. My friend comes over and we hang out til 5 ish am playing Mario Kart. WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT DRIFTING IN THIS GAME UNTIL I AM ALMOST 24 YEARS OLD?!

Oh well it's a new year and I'm making that my current resolution. Learn how to drift and be more bad ass at MK.

So that's my night. It's the first sober NYE I have had since I was 16 and it was the best one yet.

Hope you all had a great one too.

Kris.

Top Ten Favorite Songs (as of today)

I don't know about you boys and girls but I really like music.

I've come to find that it's the only sure fire way to boost my bad, grumpy, mood.

Don't get me wrong...I'd crack a smile if you gave me a hundred big ones but like that's going to happen.

So instead of filling up the emptiness inside me (...ok that was a little dramatic) with cookies and cream ice cream or hiding under my covers or being incredibly unpleasant to the poor souls that cross my path ... I put on my gigantic green head phones.



Here's what I listen to.

1. Give Me Everything - Pitbull (feat. Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer)
-"LET'S FORGET GUYS TONIGHT! I JUSSS WANNA DANCE!"
-but seriously we are NOT guaranteed tomorrow so grab somebody sexy tell em HEY. shoot that line works on me.


2. Firework - Katy Perry (Wideboys Club Remix)
-BECAUSE BABY YOU'RE A FIREWORK...work...work...work...talk about confidence boost.


3. Did It On Em - Nicki Minaj
-I like the intro it's all twisted and sounds like something bad ass is going to happen. Nicki Minaj's music gives me that boost of attitude, makes me feel like I got 5 times cooler just by listening to her.


4. Lights - Ellie Goulding (Wired Dubstep Remix)
-I love her voice and the dubstep remix together...when I walk around Bellevue with this playing in my head it's kind of like I'm in another world. A more entertaining one.

5.For the First Time - The Script (8Barz Remix)

-such a happy song ... well in a way ... I like the story behind it. It's real because of the situation (losing jobs, growing apart, confusion in the relationship)but with a happy ending.


6. Beautiful People - Chris Brown and Benny Benassi (Radio Edit)
-the beginning beat makes me think of steel drums ... Jamaica (even though I've never been) ... and white sandy beaches ... then the words come in and beat drops and it's a roll your windows down go crazy in the car song.

7. I'm On One - DJ Khaled (feat. Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne)
-because it makes me just want to feel the beat and Drake's voice is so sexy.

8. Strobe - Deadmau5
- I NEVER GET OF THIS SONG! Just makes you want to move, do your runway walk (I know you've got one), or on the other hand just chill ... good concentration music ... with random bursts of raving.

9. Ecstasy - ATB
-really good work out song.

10. Haunt You - Flux Pavillion
-Haunt You is a great title because ... well ... the song has that unyielding woman's cry for vocals. To me it's like the woman is yelling or even moaning for help; begging. When she stops the beat picks up meaning she's running from whatever made her cry out.

Anyway thought this would be fun and also to give a little tribute to the music and artists that help me enjoy my day.

Thanks for reading! What do you guys like?
