It took 26 years, but I finally had the eventful NYE you always see people having on TV.
Published by Kyso Kisaen January 1st, 2008 in Punkass!New Year’s Eve Wrap-Up:
1: Karma points for the new year. I successfully prevented my roommate from dressing up by taking his normal “baggy jeans and seven-year-old Rancid concert t-shirt” and simply throwing a perfectly good tailored blue pin-stripe jacket over it. If he got laid last night instead of mocked to death, he can thank me.
2: A sparsely attended concert of well-established local bands is the perfect NYE party. Sample conversation: Kyso: Oh? So what did you do before deciding to go back to school for tapestry weaving? Old Man: I was a paranoid schizophrenic for 30 years. How come I can handle that conversation with perfect grace but ordinary human interaction leaves me bewildered and upset?
3: In the most blatant street harassment I’ve ever seen on an American street, as we were leaving the bar a drunk kid reached out and grabbed my friend’s boob like it was a goddamn stress ball. The look on his face after she slapped the taste out of his mouth was quite satisfying. Losing yet another of the modicum of respect that I had for the guy with us (”It looked like he was just trying to push her away and aimed badly” STFU) was just a bonus.
Punkasses, how was your evening?
Oh yes. Bad aim. That’s the ticket.
How come I can handle that conversation with perfect grace but ordinary human interaction leaves me bewildered and upset?
Because ‘ordinary’ is based on invisible social rules the Cool Kids made up, whereas odder convos just let you be you and say whatever you honestly want to say? Just a guess.
My NYE is lovely and will continue for about the next week; a few friends have come over, because they’re done with gritting teeth through the family holiday season, or just because they love me & each other, and have no plans to leave before the weekend. It’s so damn nice that I have this horrible fear that nothing in my future will ever be so nice as this, here, now, with these people.
“It looked like he was just trying to push her away and aimed badly”
Because grabbing women and pushing them out of your way is perfectly reasonable behavior as long as you grab her by the correct body part? WTF
For the record, baggy jeans and old Rancid shirts make me hot.

Sure, but with a sport jacket over them? You can’t walk both fashion paths at once; you have to chose. At least, he does, maybe someone cooler could get away with it
I spent mine at a friend’s place, while watching my fiancee get really plastered. It was funny.
