it’s two hours and five minutes into the new year, and already i have a good feeling about it.
but on the other hand, gee whiz, it’s 2:05 a.m.! i should be sleeping. but i even have a good feeling about that; i feel incredibly lucid (but the lucidity might be a figment of my imagination), but at the same time i’m certain i’ll fall asleep once i stop all this crazy typing.
i’m sitting here in bed with my very very long hair. i feel kind of sleazy. but women do have long hair. but just not me. i could get permanent hair extensions if i wanted them, but i think they would bug me. but i think the temporary ones look quite good. but also they might be a bit painful to sleep on.
so, the show. wowie. the place was packed. i mean, packed. people were standing. lots of them. a few people left during the show, but the vast, vast majority stayed for the while thing. really good.
and i think it went well. they laughed in some places that i haven’t heard laughter before.
good. it’s good.
my only complaint is that when i started out, i was thinking “ok this is it. the last time you do this.” and it kind of bummed me out because of all the work i put into it, and then it was over.
but it definitely makes me feel motivated to do another one, and not to wait for another year and a half. i’d like to do another one in a few months. i feel i could actually find the motivation to look for a sponsor, some entity that would foot the bill for the advertising and the space rental.
can i do it? hard to say. you never know.
i’m just glad it went so well tonight.
it was also great to see so many friends in the audience. i couldn’t look at them a lot, because it’d have been too distracting, but it was just nice to know they were there.
i’m happy.
here’s a funny thing about new year’s eve – many many people get drunk and stay out late. and so then, how do they start a FRESH, BRAND NEW YEAR?
hungover.
isn’t that a totally, totally shitty way to start the new year?
wouldn’t it be better to start it feeling all gung-ho and chipper and ready to do a bunch of stuff? that’s just the way i feel, at the moment, anyway – i feel like i’m going to want to go running in the morning, and i’m going to want to GET STUFF DONE.
but on the other hand, i still have lots of fake hair glued onto my hair, and i feel it would be a little weird going running with it. but maybe it would be warmer. insulation from more hair.
i just realized i’m about to pass out.
i hope your new year’s eve was good.
and more importantly, i hope your new year is FANTASTIC.
ok then,
2006 grace (going to be a fabulous year).
