Finally things are starting to slow down. Tonight is New Year's Eve and we have a big Betel party. We are supposed to dress up with a "theme". After much deliberation, and discarding the Wizard of Oz (no green face paint or witch hat), smurfs (no blue face paint), cats and dogs (easy, but no enthusiasm) we have finally decided on going as Peter Pan, Hook, Smead, several lost boys and the crocodile. And Bubar (Jonny's girlfriend) as Tinker Bell. I am going as a lost boy....or rapidly aging woman. They wanted me to go as Wendy, but I do not have a long nightie, and I would have to be the ancient Wendy from "Hook". I would rather be a lost boy.
We will eat buffet style, watch every house do a skit or something funny, and we were warned to be funny. We made a short video about my dream of how our house should be run - with eight male types. It shows what I would like it to be and what the stark reality is. We thought it was funny and had fun making it so that is all that should matter. House One always goes all out and hogs the video camera but usually theirs is the best. There is also alot of lip-synching to disco music. The girls in the Girls house like to dress up and dance to something. Then we just watch funny videos until midnight and then all drink this non-alcoholic stuff called Schlure, like sparkling grape juice. We yell and hug and make lots of noise along with all the gay bars around us.
I hope everyone else has a great night.
