1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?
Turning 24 really felt like deal b/c I’ve always associated Adulthood with that age. Like, after 24 you’re no longer “a young man” and it’s no longer impressive that you’re on your own. I guess embarking on life without a roommate was sort of a big accomplishment for me. So was getting cast in that film with Pavement Studios, just b/c I hadn’t auditioned for anything in a really long time, and it felt good to know I was still able to get the jobs I really wanted… even if I didn’t really want them that bad.

(Btw, that’s my dawg Stefan in the new issue of Pavement Magazine. He’s the sullen boy in the “Teenage Hermit” layout. A bit fitting, if you ask me.)

2. What was your biggest disappointment?
This past year hasn’t carried much dissappointment for me, actually. I’ve had some really great fun and met some especially wonderful people. I wish I’d been in better touch with family, though, and our country having to go to war sucked too, obviously.

3. What do you hope the new year brings?
Clarity and Direction. I feel like I’ve been idle for a bit too long.

4. Will you be making any New Year’s resolutions? If yes, what will they be?
Ugh, this question is way too loaded with responsibility, and if I end up skimping on my resolutions then you all will know… (Ok fine. Go to the gym more)! Next!

5. What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?
TBA.

Ohh, I got to see Kiki & Herb’s Christmas Show “O Cum All Ye Faithful”! The show was totally soldout and you had to STAND the entire time, but dammit, it was worth it. Kiki performed everything from holiday classics to holidays originals (”Banging in the Nails”, and ode to the Crucificiton) and from alternative rock (”Smells Like Teen Spirit”) to hip-hop anthems (I damn near lost my shit when she busted out with “My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard…”), she ROCKED. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. It was pretty much their final show in New York, but I hear they’re doing a limited run in London. God save the Queen, innit.

Yes, that was me strutting around Soho this afternoon, just rocking the SHIT out of that cuteass, gray Armani jacket. How does a wayward, financially-impotent metroboy of sprite happen across such a precious article? Nobody’s talking, but everybody’s got suspicions, and most signs point to a very sweet and sly blond boy, who only RECENTLY leaked the url of his secret webjournal to me. That’s right, winners, Randyboy’s got a blog! It’s engaging, it’s deliciously cheesy, and it’s fucking adorable.* I’d love to give you all the link, but he’s threatened to take away my new jacket if I do, and I’m sorry, winners, but my wardrobe matters way much more to me than any of you. However, I highly recommend you all have a quick go at the dashing young weblogger over @ BadWound.com, his name’s Adam and I had the pleasure of spanking him recently. Ok, not really. But he did meetup with me and my friends for lunch downtown the other day and we spent the afternoon darting in and out of East Village shops, scoping out sales, clerks, and groping display mannequins. Adam’s funny as hell and is one of the few ppl I know who isn’t comepletely in love with New York City… but I try not to hold it against him, he’s an overwhelmed student at the uberangsty Columbia Unversity, where everyone is broody and disaffected. Be sure to bookmark his site and let him know his hair looks good.

In other cool webby news: I got an email from my web server tech support notifying me that I’ve exceeded my monthly bandwith. Apparently, my traffic stats are a bit out of control — I had to buy additional webspace to continue being hosted without any problems! Woo-hoo! I’m not sure who all is reading me these days, but thanks for stopping by. I read all the emails and comments that come through, some of you have written some truly appreciated shit… and some of you get deleted on sight. Ahem. This blog has definately given me something important since I started it, and I’m glad that it seems to give you all a little something too.

Have you seen that show Rich Girls on MTV? We had the crew staying @ the hotel over the summer during the shoot and those production kids used to come in at the end of the day just shaking their heads talking about, “You guys aren’t going to believe how stupid these girls are.” I watched my first episode today and they were right. Does wealth really make you dumb? I loved how they were sitting around and Ally tells Jaime that she’s the smartest person she knows.

Ally: “No, for real. Like, intellectually? you totally surpass everyone else I know.”
Jaime: “What’s surpass?”

I fucking love it.

So was it just me or did it not really feel especially Christmas-y this year? What was up with that? Maybe it’s just b/c I wasn’t with family, but I feel like it was just a really long weekend or something. Weird. I got to spend some nice time with my friends, caught up on some movies (Big Fish was amazing, ya’ll), and did me some serious post-holiday shopping. Midtown was a trainwreck! I should have known better than to hit Herald Square in the afternoon on the day after Christmas, I barely escaped alive. But I have a lot of really cute clothes now so it evens out. Woot!

* Don’t worry, albeit their comparable fondness for Tori Amos, that Randy is definately NOT him…. nor is that sordid shit (although the bootyliciousness and naughty exhibitionist inclinations are strikingly similar).
