Some friends from other states
Some friends from other states have asked whether I'm going to be in Times Square for New Years. Not only no, hell no. I've definitely become averse to freezing weather, milling throngs of drunken puking teenagers and pickpockets. Times Square is a wonderful thing to walk through- once. It is the bright shiny optimistic capitalistic electric example of the amazing allure of America, and the dangerous greed and environmental waste flipside. Plus I don't know the words to Auld Lang Sine (Zine? Sein?)
I definitely have the desire to have a New York New Year, maybe go somewhere dressed in a tux, laughing with friends over some political joke. Maybe I'll just go with friends to some huge club, jumping and sweating to some music, flailing my rhythmically doomed limbs with goofy Texan abandon. I definitely want to be kissing multiple guys, friends, maybe even a few girls at midnight. Maybe even for some minutes past when everyone's big balls drop. My big resolution is to kiss more this year. I love kissing, I love the feel of the distant heartbeat transferring to my lips, the flush of heat in contact, the single minded focus of the moment, the sacrifice of air for passion.
I publicly resolve to do the following:
Tell people more often why I like being around them.
Tell people more often why I don't like being around them.
See one Broadway show every month.
Get a library card, start borrowing books rather than buying them.
Sunburn my ass on a nude beach.
Learn Spanish.
Try acupuncture.
Eat horse.
End every sentence with "as the will of God demands"
