Afterwards, we went to some crazy-ass loft party somewhere near Hester and Grand.
meredith
The train came and we headed back into Manhattan to check out a few other parties.
meredith
Group shot underground.
meredith
She wasn't really mad. So...HIGH TEN!
meredith
I momentarily left my group to see what some drunk girl across the room was up to.
meredith
Katie shows off her neck while Meredith looks on as the proud hickey-parent.
meredith
Happy 2 (_)(_) 5! The boobies are zeros! Get it? Ha!
meredith
Amanda seems to like hickeys about as much as me.
meredith
Kate and Meredith double-teaming Amanda.
meredith
Look at Katie's neck! Jesus. Meredith is a hickey-giving machine.
meredith
...and Katie gives one right back.
meredith
Somehow, sweet innocent New Year's Eve smooches quickly devolved to giving "look like I got kicked in the neck" hickeys. Meredith gets Katie...
meredith
Awww.
meredith
...but we were still drinking Sparks.
meredith
This photo translated into English mean "You there with the camera! It is your turn to jump high."
meredith
Which usually leads to some Holiday cock-touchin.
meredith
Top that shit off with a can of Sparks for the road and you're good to go!
meredith
I started the night off at Meredith's apartment with the traditional New Year's Eve feast of...
meredith
Clayton Cubbitt: Panty Investigator.
meredith
We left the party and headed back to Beford to catch the subway. Check out this "off to see the Wizard" shot that either Katie or Siege managed to snap. Hahaha.
meredith
And then quickly learned why she's so good at giving them...she bites. I hate it.
meredith
I tried my best to give Meredith a hickey (I had no sucess either).
meredith
That ain' coo.

Duet time!
meredith
Meredith and her late night breakfast.
meredith
Meredith and M.L.E...
meredith
...were the first people in history brave enough to try to turn the area behind the pool table into a "dance floor." (If you're a guy, this usually results in an asskicking. If you're a girl, it's usually interpreted by the male patrons that you're "asking for it.")
meredith
Later that night, Rachael, Emily, Meredith and I headed up to the very classy Pat's Bar in Landing, NJ (it's sort of become a holiday tradition over the years).
meredith
Here's the Xmas Dinner pic. Jordan, Jeanine, Pappi, My mom, Dave and Pat Litte and Mer and me.
meredith
In honor of the baby Jesus' birthday, Meredith even put on make up! (PS - Make up for Meredith = mascara and chapstick).
meredith
Here's Merdith and my Christmas portrait impression of my parent's matching outfits.
meredith
We hopped in my parents car and drove, ohh approximately six houses down the street to have Christmas dinner at The Little's house. (The Little's are my parent's closest friends in their neighborhood).
meredith
Merdith got a hat and gloves from my parents (She was coming to church for the first time and needed something to cover up her Jew horns and claws).
meredith
No win for you!
meredith
...Christmas-themed cookies and more importantly...
meredith
Fully wrapped and ready to go, we headed downstairs to discover that my parents had been plenty busy with a project of their own...
meredith
After the party, we came back to my house and snuck up to my old high school bedroom to write cards and wrap gifts (and no, my room didn't look like that in high school. I had waaaay more Iron Maiden posters up. Somewhere in the twelve years since I moved out, my mom redecorated my room and turned it into Wussland. Maiden still rules, though. Seriously).
meredith
...uh-oh! Look who got their very own monogrammed stocking over the chimney this year!
meredith
...New Jersey Lottery Scratch Offs! Hahah.
meredith
We raided the stockings and found the usual goodies....
meredith
...and here's me and Mer. (You love my Christmas sweater - go on, say it).
meredith
Later in the afternoon, we went down the street to the Hogg's House (they claim it's pronounced HOAG...yeah, right!) - they're friends of my parents and have a yearly Xmas party. They have two kids and so there are always a few random Roxbury High School alumni sightings! Here's Meredith with Matt Anderson and Tim Beech!
meredith
Back at my parent's house, Meredith was marveling at our tree. (Ok, more likely she was marveling at the fact that my parents have their tree plugged into a Clapper.)
meredith
...give them holiday kisses. Meredith reminded us, "They're Jews too!"
meredith
Luckily she only wanted to share her scarf with Mary and Joseph and...
meredith
...there was a Jew on the loose!
meredith
Oh, and here's a pic of the Holiday Card Meredith received in the mail from her friend Chessa. She took one of Meredith's old modeling pics, cropped it super-close and then stamped a "YOU'RE A JEW!" menorah on her forehead. Hahaha. Classy!
meredith
After getting half-krunked, we strolled down the street for some late night greasy eats at Odessa.
meredith
Amanda and Meredith.
meredith
Emily, Amy K. and Meredith white-clad disco2000 ass.
meredith
Meredith and Emily.
meredith
Meredith surveys the now-abuzz crowd as FiASCO prepares to take the stage.
meredith
Bam! Nina and Meredith react to having their loins rocked.
meredith
Meredith and I arrived at The Delancey a little early so we could have a few drinks and catch up with some peeps (Like David "Capt. Creepy" Kreitman, see here peeking into the picture to recreate one of his most creepy photo moments from my going away party last summer).
meredith
Here's a close-up. (My friend Lauren works at the Apple Store and a few months later when they took this display down I had her save it for me so Meredith could give it to her mom - who LOVES the fact that her daughter is "a model." Hahaha. So cute).
meredith
Sunday morning I went out for brunch with Sarah, Meredith and Karen.
meredith
Sweet Tits Whoomped her way into last place! (But at least she managed to block Fatty from gloating with his "I'm number one!" pose in the background).
meredith
The Big El!
meredith
Meredith plays the game where you see how close you can get your tongue to a bowling ball without it touching. If you lose, you really lose.
meredith
Emily doesn't approve of my messy eating.
meredith
Yes, that's you. Wait a minute, are you giving me the finger? You cheeky little Smurf!
meredith
We got back into town on Friday afternoon and Meredith made the mistake of challenging me to a game with our newly purchased Scrabble board!
meredith
...headed into Morristown to see the movie Ray. Thanks for coming out guys!
meredith
Who's that lucky foggy lady in the middle?
meredith
Up at Scott's we watched TV and played with Cleatus.
meredith
After the extended family headed home, Grant, Meredith and I borrowed my Mom's car to visit my good buddy Scott. Meredith was rocking the back seat sans knickers (Walmart was closed, remember?) and when I pointed my camera over my shoulder while driving and snapped this gem I almost captured an inadverdent growler shot! (Which I accidentally showed my dad the next day when he downloaded the pics off my cam so he could print out the group pics I took of the family. Doh!)

Meredith tries on the weirdo country hat that my mom has hanging on the wall in our foyer.

Meredith enjoying the veggy dishes my mom made special just for her! (Aw.)
meredith
I got up to help him out and was told that he didn't need any help "figuring out his own camera, Goddamnit!" So I took some photos of everyone waiting. Hahah.
meredith
Here are the fruits of his labor though. Well worth the wait!
meredith
Somehow, Grant and I got into an argument about whether or not tapping the top of shaken-up soda can will really prevent it from fizzing all over the place (I said yes, he said no) and Meredith, tired of listening to us bicker like wetodds, finally offered to buy us sodas so we could just try it out and shut the fuck up already ("Best $0.80 I ever spent!")

After all getting crunked up at The Barn (uh, except for me Dad, because I was the driver) we headed over to The Roxbury Diner (which we all know is really still called The Victoria Diner) for some late night grub. I like how when everyone started throwing gangsigns, my brother's gangsign is to simultaneously pinch both his titties and look "naughty."
meredith
The best thing about Grant is that he could be licking her face, but it's just as likely that she's screaming because he's licking her armpit.
meredith
Followed by the Group face-licking. And then the next thing you know...
meredith
And Meredith as the Sexy Androgyn Looking to Give a Blowjob.
meredith
Then came the face-licking.
meredith
...round up a crew and head to the local townie bar that's called "The Barn!" Believe it or not, The Barn actually used to be a restaurant called Seafood Shack when I was growing up in town! Seafood Shack. A winning name like that and they still went out of business. Shocking, right? Steak Shanty is gone as well. Go figure.) Anyway, over holidays The Barn is the defacto place that everyone I went to high school with goes to catch up with everyone else. Here's Amy (my brother's girlfriend), Grant, Brett and Meredith preparing for their very first Barn Experience!
meredith
Me, Meredith and Grant all dressed up for dinner.
meredith
...Tha Grizza! Talk about the two best Thanksgiving guests of all time! We hopped on an NJ Transit Train headed westward towards Succasunna, NJ (where I grew up!).
meredith
Meredith took some nice photos. And then took some pictures of Grant...
meredith
Meredith had been planning to spend Thanksgiving with her family Uptown, but at the last minute her Grandfather out in Ohio got sick and her brother and mother went out there to see him. Meredith wanted to go, but her Mom assured her he'd be ok. So I managed to talk her into coming out to NJ to experience Thanksgiving with the Battjers. Here's the lucky lady on the subway platform waiting for the A train to Penn Station where we were also meeting...
meredith
Die The on Wednesday night, Grant and Meredith took the NJTransit Train out to NJ with me to spend Thanksgiving dinner with my family! (More of this coming soon in a whole separate entry).
meredith
Meredith, AnnaMaria and Susuan.
meredith
We checked the calendar and, wouldn't you know it, November 22nd was "Matching Hair Day!"
meredith
Hardy-har-har.
meredith
Grant's making a face in this picture like he's already mad about the whole fan joke I made up above (almost 11 months later). Before we headed home for the night, we decided to step into the photoboth and commemorate the night. (Because there's definitely not enough pictures of me and my friends acting stupid).
meredith
Ms. Silverman does not approve.
meredith
After we bowed our goodbyes (check out Grant copping a cheap feel in the background...ha!)...
meredith
I will kee-rush you little elf-face.
meredith
Meredith and me with our matching hair.
meredith
...eating junkfood at the Odessa.
meredith
...Meredith and Grant (and I forget who the girl on the left is - someone's friend from out of town? A stranger that met on the street?) over on Avenue A. If it's after 4am and you're on Ave A and you've been drinking, there's a pretty darn good chance that you're going to end up...
meredith
...Fatty and Meredith made monkey faces...
meredith
Back at Meredith's I whipped out my laptop to do some work and she fired her's up as well so she could work next to me (because she loves being a nerd like that).
meredith
Fresh off a plane from Vegas, I hit the Lower EAst Side to meet up with Meredith...
meredith
Afterwards, I went back to Meredith's to say goodbye and tried to pretend I wasn't super-sad about having to go back to San Francisco all by my lonesome.
