Fixed! It's amazing that no matter how carefully I check for mistakes like that I never seem to be able to catch them all.

Had an english teacher explain a technique for slowing down enough so that you can catch those mistakes. Read the piece, word by word, in reverse (last word first). Then re-read sentence by sentence in reverse. Paragraphs, etc.

"was finally able to secure a spot and in fact still remember Nivi not making it onto the list in time and plaintively writing on the page, "Can't Nivi come?".

I remember this first party, pretty sure Nivi was living at the house at the time.

And I ended up "crashing" at the house for 4 years.

Yeah, it was you! I couldn't remember your full name or Omnidrive for some reason, but I remember you were sleeping in one of the bedrooms at the time. Cool, I'll update the post.
