No more school for two whole weeks! WooHoo! This vacation is gonna rock! ...except for the fact that I am GROUNDED the entire break! Grrr don't like my mommy...
ANYWAYS.. I'm trying to convince my mom to let me go to Jack's New Year's Party. One main reason is that it's just gonna be the guys. Bambi will be in Florida, Curly in Michigan, and Braids will *thankfully* be on a cruise.
...God that girl is SO annoying! She thinks that we are going out! She follows me EVERYWHERE, and leaves like twenty million voice mails and texts on my cell. She can't take the hint that I'm not interested. And of course, the guys think it's hilarious, so they're no help!
Well, my mom just got home from work and she's yellin' like crazy, so I gotta go.

Merry fuckin' Christmas! Ho frickin' HO.
Christmas sucked, as usual. It doesn't feel like Christmas at all. It hasn't felt like Christmas ever since my parents split up. My dad lives in California, so I never see him.
Well, anywayz, my Christmas consisted of my mom and her latest boyfriend, Brian Denton, giggling and all that lovey-dovey crap. Denton's okay, but he always wears these hideous bow ties. So yeah... that was my Christmas. Sucky, ain't it?
Ahh, again my mother is yelling for me, but this time it's to watch It's A Wonderful Life... later!

I am still in shock... WHY did I do that? Here's the story...
I arrived at Jack's HUGE house. He lives on Vincenzo Drive, which is where the most elite and hugest houses are in TR. Most of the guys were already there. We were only waiting on Spot and Blink.
Blink came in when we were all trading stories about our holiday, like what gifts we got, whose Christmas sucked the most, etc. Then Spot arrived, fashionable late, carrying a few cases of beer.
"I brought the goods!" Spot yelled as he entered the room. We all cheered. Boy, did I need a beer. I grabbed one and basically chugged the bottle.
Needless to say, within an hour or so, we were all pretty smashed. Mush was all giddy and couldn't stop laughing, Blink was singing Jingle Bells at the top of his lungs, Skitts and Snitch were having a burping contest, Specs and Dutchy were 'trying' to have a staring contest, but kept breaking it within a few seconds, and Jack was trying to say the alphabet backwards, but always messed up on Q. I had started a poker game, and Spot, Swifty, Bumlets, and Pie Eater were all playing. How I still wound up winning totally drunk, I have no idea. But I busted them all ten bucks a piece!
I don't know whose idea it was, but someone shouted, "Hey guys! Let's play 'Truth or Dare'!"
Everyone, being in the state of mind that we were in, eagerly decided to play. I never have liked that game and normally would have sat out, but dumb me, played.
...worst decision I ever made...
The game got underway, with mostly stupid dares, like jumping in Jack's pool (Mush wasn't so giddy after that... it's FREEZING in Jersey!), but then it was my turn. Again, stupid me, I pick 'dare.'
Skitts smirked at me and said, "I dare you to kiss Spot."
My face paled as everyone went into laughing fits. I quickly glance at Spot, whose face is unreadable.
My mind was going a mile a minute... What do I do? I can't not do it! Why did he have to pick SPOT of all people? Any other guy wouldn't have been so hard! But now I *finally* get to kiss Spot! OMG, what if he realizes... Nah, he won't. I'll just do a quick peck and be over with it.
Skitts pulls me outta my thoughts by asking me, "Ya gonna do ya dare soon, or do we gotta wait for 2004?"
I nodded slowly and turned toward Spot. Spot nods at me too, but adds, "Make it quick."
I know I was starting to sweat as I leaned into Spot.
As our lips touched, I felt an explosion in my mind and got goose bumps all over my arms. Don't ask me why, but I deepened the kiss. To my surprise, Spot actually started to kiss back. It wasn't until I tried to add my tongue that he abruptly pushed me back and brought me back into reality.
"What the fuck was that all about?" Spot yelled, wiping his mouth, sounding totally disgusted.
"Oh shit...." I weakly said. "Oh fuck, oh shit.. I'm.. I'm sorry..."
...Leave it to me to babble like an idiot.
"Oh. My. GOD. It all makes sense now! No girlfriends, not wanting help in your personal life... you.. You're fuckin' QUEER!" Spot said, backing away from me, wide-eyed.
I looked up at him, trying to hold back my tears. Seeing this, Spot turned toward Jack and said, "I'm outta here," grabbed his coat was out the door.
All eyes were on me now. I could feel them all boring a hole in my head, all around me.
"So..um.. You really gay?" Specs asked, breaking the silence.
I nodded meakly.
"Oh good.... We're not the only ones."
...WHAT? We're?!?!?!
It looked like everyone else was thinking the same thing as we all turned to face Specs.
"What? You're gay too? And may I ask why you said 'we're'," Skitts asked.
"Yeah, I'm gay. Me and Dutchy have been together since July."
Everyone's jaw dropped, including my own. Five months and I didn't see it? Well, they aren't part of my closest friends, but still.. ya think I'd notice of all people.
But thank God for Specs, because he got the attention off of me for a while.
In the middle of Specs's explanation of how they hooked up, Blink yelled, "It's five minutes till 2004!"
We all huddled around the TV, watching the ball drop in Times Square, and counted down. Five... Four... Three... Two... ONE... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I turned around just in time to see Specs give Dutchy a kiss. My heart dropped, thinking of Spot, and how he probably hated me and never want to see me again.
A little after this, Skitts came up to me.
"Race... I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for that dare. I would never intentionally hurt you like that. I had no idea."
"It's ok Skitts. You did have no idea."
We stood there, awkwardly for a few minutes, then he turned and went to join Snitch watching TV.
The rest of the night passed without any more incidents, because basically, we all passed out.
...Which brings me to right now. MAJOR hangover, broken heart, broken spirit, pissed at myself for doing the unspeakable. Remind me NEVER to drink beer again.
And according to sayings, How you spend New Year's Eve is how you're gonna spend the next year. [1] What a great year to come!
