Well, I’m here in exciting Danville, IL for New Years Eva. Eva got my room comped so I only had to pay for my tickets to the show and the buffet, which were affordable. What a sweetie!
I’ve had dinner and I’m killing time in my hotel room reading until the doors open at 9. I brought The Riddle of Gender: Science, Activism, and Transgender Rights by Deborah Rudacille. Eva’s sister and my good friend, Gina, is an anthro professor at ISU and she teaches a lot of gender studies stuff. I took 3 classes with her, to include Cross-cultural Perspectives on Women, Sex and Gender.
Anyway, looking forward to the show, and seeing Gina because it’s been a while. And then there is always the previous post. 
I do hate missing the party in town though! I’m not popular enough, nor do I want to be, to have to choose between friends; it really sucks! But once I found out Eva got me a free room it was hard to say ‘No.’
Well, it’s just about 9 PM, so I’ll say my last Happy New Year to everyone and head downstairs.
Peace and love, and whatever else you really need in 2006.

Happy New Year Jenny!
So I was only a mouth to eat your food, eh?
I did have a pretty good time! Of course, if you had offered pink tiaras I might’ve made a different choice of venues. I mean, it is hard to pass up a pink tiara.
Now I was missing the promised New Years kiss…but then I got a couple in Danville too. Well, if you count the European on-the-cheek thing as a kiss, but it seems I can’t be choosy. The only semi-serious kisses I’ve gotten in over 7 years were last year in a bar at 1:30ish AM over a spinning mini-Corona bottle/salt shaker and were from Emily G., Ingbert and Richard. They were all only little pecks, but at least they were on the lips.
Oh well, here’s to a better year in 2006!

New Years Eve
As I said, I went to Danville for New Years Eva. Had a great time. Met lots of interesting people. Got lots of hugs. Possibly found a little hope amongst the terror. (On that note I’ll be quiet for now as a boy should be discreet once in a while.) I ac…
