The guy I'm seeing, very drunk, at 2 a.m. Woke me up, but I was glad that he was thinking of me in all the revelry (I stayed in).

What a warm fuzzy feeling when someone sends you a new year's kiss and then announces that they have to go, they're on the verge of puking.

gross question: i wonder how much puke was collectively expelled from the stomachs of party goers last night (in cubic metres)? (our party could account for a lot of it that's for sure)

I called my gf at 12.05am, even though it was only 6.05pm for her. Had one of the most lovely conversations I imagine I'll have this year or any year.

First one I made, calling taxis to get rid of all the folk who arrived at my house for an impromptu party! First one received was from my sister to laugh coz my parents gatecrashed said party and I can only vaguely remember it.

My roomie had to get to work by 1pm today so I called him on the direct line to the restaurant kitchen at around 10pm, near the end of his shift, to offer moral support (i.e. let him know that there were Belgian choccies waiting for him at home)

that was the first phonecall I made. the first one i received was from my parents to say they would come over to visit me and if i would be able to come to the door then, as i'm lying in bed with a cold.

first one recieved I didn't answer, because I knew who it would be - my mate ringing me to come down to the park to watch him launch his new rocket. He arranged it with me in the pub and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Isabel's Mum asking where she'd put the matches, on my mobile. I'd turned it off cause it kept ringing Alang by itself from in my pocket so if anyone phoned me for festive reasons I missed it.

I said hello to the mother of Cabbage.

I think it involved calling an ILX boy, Mary, help me!

My first call of '03 was one I received, and it went as follows:

Me: ugh
Jerry: (silence)
Me: What?
Jerry: Hey, you know we're rehearsing today, right?
Me: Meh. *cough*
Me: Bring coffee.
Jerry: I already ground the beans. (pause) We wrote a new song.
Me: Is it that slow one you were working on?
Jerry: Yeah!
Me: Thank God.
Jerry: See ya out there.
Me: I hope so.

God, why can I remember shit like that, but I can't remember to mail my mortgage payments on time?

First call I made was to my mom around 1 something AM to wish her a happy new years. She sounded a little confused. I think cuz my voice was probably all sloppy from being tipsy. But was still very nice of me, eh?

Haven't really gotten any personal calls. *sigh* But have gotten lots and lots of work-related calls.

My brother rang me, I shouted stuff about what a great time I was having I'd say.

first call of 2003 was made to guitar player in new band i'm forming who i foolishly agreed to jam with in the afternoon of january 1st. i let it ring several times. someone (or something) picked up the phone and issued a strangled, gurgling "ughhh" sound and promptly hung up. so i went for a veggie burger and tried calling him when i got back. there was no reply -- but as i turned the phone back on (deciding to call him at work) there was no dialtone and i could hear breathing on the other end. turns out it was the piano player ... one of those freaky things that happens when you pick up the phone before it actually rings.

This morning, called in on my cell phone to pick up *7* messages -- all of which were from the cockfarmeress with the wrong number who called me a previous 5 times Monday night.

I just have to thank you brits for adding the word "cockfarmer" to my vocabulary.
