i want a boy for my birthday.

Over the past 9 months or so, a lot of stuff has gone on. Parties, friendships, broken hearts, shows, drugs, drinks, sex, trash-talk, fashion, tattoos, etc, etc, etc. Anyhow, through all of this I've tried my best to sort of document our tiny tiny scene. Maybe it's not a scene. It could just be a slice of life that lasted about the same time as a normal birth cycle. This may or may not be a coincidence. Nine months in, and perhaps we did give birth some some new things. Some bad, some good, all of them though, distinctly ours.

Elena took photos during this time, too. Hers (at least in my humble opinion) seem to capture all of the types of things that I had hoped to. While I may not always be sure that I succeeded, I have a feeling that she has. People enjoying other people's company (and sometimes dancing to show appreciation.) She has been gracious enough to provide all of the comments and photos for this edition. If I have anything to say, [it will be in brackets and italics]

So, in advance: Thank You Elena.

Now, let's see if anybody cares. (I doubt it.)

All we ever wanted was everything:

(ed note: Once again, all comments were written by Elena. She dosen't like capitalization.)

1. the night of 510s's first ever marisauna. needless to say bob was more than excited.

2. it's fun when you take a five year old's gingerbread man and turn him into a drunk.

3. i don't even know why christian looks like this. [ed. note: I do. He's a dirty Canadian squatter, that's why.]


4. quote from this night by my friend nate: "i'm going to get NURSE tattooed on my chest and then bed matilda."

5. right before christian got the best haircut alcohol money can buy.

6. were they lost or just becoming women of the night? the night of the infamous loft party.

7. ted and asia: masters of crumping.

8. graham was excited about valentine's day.

9. ted just loves to dance.

10. this girl is a slut. the one on the left i mean. [ed. note: Duh.]

11. somehow andrew bailey is just at every party, lurking in the shadows.

12. asia was yelling at bob for some reason. what's new, right.


13. sometimes christian likes to hug people until they pass out. [ed. note: Yeah and apparently, whatever happens after that is "fair game." Uh, not cool broseph, not cool.]

14-15. .... and ted magically turned into graham. every girl's dream or every man's... well dream.

15.

16. a moment of deep thought.

17. there's the gingerbread man again suffocating bob.

18. hahahhaa. alcoholic.

19-20. add the first appearance of rod stewart's "young turks" and a case of rolling rock and you find out what ted is really all about.

20.

21. casey's birthday called for some unadulterated fun. or debbie does dallas.

22. and eating apparently.

23. we took this picture to piss off mel. sowee.

24. why does brian look so angry? [ed. note: Because Kristen didn't let us keep the box of cereal that we stole from across the hall. Something about morality and inherent good or some shit...whatever.]

25. and why does he look so sad? [ed. note: Because them shits was mad tasty!]

26. because christian was hogging all the honey bunches of oats. not cool. [ed. note: See?!?!]

27. now he just looks disgusted. [ed. note: I was over the Honey Bunches, I was probably in disgust over the state of Christian booze stink.]

28. and obviously can't even lay eyes on the greatness that is nicky shakes. [ed. note: I don't know about that one. Especially not with that jacket on.]

29. in 510s once again with the penis pillow.

30. there's that slut again.

31. ted having fun with jinglu's fucking scalping knife. a trip to the hospital later ensued.... no it didn't.

32. yeah they get around.

33. this was supposed to be the first arts and crafts night.

34. but it turned into ashley and christian's first porn movie. [ed. note: But not their last, by any means.]

35-36. at the watering hole the night ted brought back his canadian cavalry.

36.


37. no party in brooklyn would be complete without the h & o. [ed. note: Truer words: never spoken.]

38. jake probably mispronounced bethany's name about seven times.

39. and was then forced to apologize twenty-five.

40. aww. ted loves pictures.

41. brian loves taking those pictures.

42. aww. ted loves garrett. actually that's pretty hot.

43. josh and brian. always deep in thought.

44. uhh... ted. [ed. note: actually, probably my favorite, along with the one of Bailey & Agnes, of the bunch.]

45. i think one of the coolest pictures i've ever taken of brian. and believe me there aren't many. [ed. note: Fuck off.]

46. bob and asia so excited to be in times square.

47. arguing over whether or not to go to patricio and enrique's.

48. seeing as how that night turned into my former alcoholic father's rehabilitation diet of o'dhuls and weed, we just took pictures.

49. my last night in new york at the lower east side toy company. that's ted's dad, fred, on the right.

50. like his son, fred was also charmed by the wonderful ben lee.

51. celine is so gangster. [ed. note: Gangsta.]

52. jake is so unibomber.


53. i just look like a pediphile going after a little boy. [ed. note: What's new?]

54. in honor of kristen garris of course and our final days in 510 south. it will be missed.



And with that, it's (finally) finished. Nicely done Elena.


+p.s.
I think that I am going to scrounge up something soon. What will it consist of? I have no clue. More submissions are always welcome. The well's running dry!!
