What are your plans for New Year's Eve?

I have several options and have not made up my mind....
What are you guys doing?

I'll boil some chicken for The Wiley and Excellent Cat Named Ginger, program some nice music on the CD player, and then Call Me Wesley and I will pop open this bottle of Moët & Chandon. I'm not sure how we maintain this grueling New Year's Eve social agenda, year in and year out. :rofl:

New Year's Eve at home with a special someone but, alas I have no specail someone so am now forced to consider all the events....sounds like you and CMW will have a lovely evening...

:rofl:

Truly, there's nothing more enjoyable for us than a quiet evening at home, with some nice music, Ginger indoors (and not out stalking the neighbor's cat :eyes: ), fire in the fireplace, and the house filled with the warm, flesh-like aroma of boiled chicken breast. :rofl:

in a pretty cabinet?

He's the wine and spirits connoisseur in our home. :thumbsup: (I'm not sure where he's hidden it.)

Going out is for crazy young people...

We may be crazy, but we are no longer young.....

We don't even always stay up till midnight any more....

Anyhow, it's more fun to kiss in bed, if you get my drift.......:blush:

You go GF :woohoo:

Downtown that night. :o

Sodom and Gomorrah, I tell you.

I would've thought you would be in the thick of it all....Vegas on New Year's sounds exciting to me.

Well...actually...

I kinda want to see it. From an anthropological standpoint, because I've always hated crowds (and especially drunken ones). But I think I'll skip it this year -- I'll be working eitehr side of it, and that will be crazy enough. :-)

I have had to work some New Year's Eve in the past...just have to make the best of it :hug:

I'll be visiting a friend instead of staying home.

travel safe....and remember don't drink and drive :hug:

I'll be driving home on New Years Day.
Hopefully everyone else will be home sleeping it off and my trip will be uneventful!

I usually stay home for the holidays. Too many drivers are distracted by where they're going or where they've been. Auto pilot at 65 mph can be tricky.

you have a good head on those shoulders. I hope you have a wonderful time.

I have a CDL. I'm a pro.

I thank you for the complement and I promise to be good!
Now if we don't get icy weather on the 1st ~ I'll have a wonderful start to the new year ...

Same as every other night.

what do you do for yourself? :hug:

Which is coming sooner than I originally anticipated. I'll be moving in a few months, after which I intend to have only one job. At most I hope to have a job and a half, or work some overtime here and there. I certainly don't plan on two full-time jobs, and will avoid the graveyard shift like the plague.

so hopefully in a few months you can have some BUFFY time....:woohoo:

I'll be able to pick up old hobbies again and maybe even get out and meet real, live people!

enjoy every last minute of the time I have off from college. DU is the place. The Lounge, specifically. I'll probably be good and drunk and up to me ears in old punk cd's. I started lining up some of my favorites next to the computer tonight. Will continue to do so whilst possibly working on finishing my little shed out back.

As the night progresses, I'll get drunk enough to eventually post "Slam!" in the Lounge as an actual thread for punk fans to paaaaahhhhtttteeee! ALL Loungers will be welcome. I will just be delving into my music collection (what is not still in storage) as usual.

sounds interesting

to one of those Japanese restaurants where they cook the food in front of you.It's pretty cool,then home tv and bed.I'm boring.

Have fun.

Nothing like bringing in the New Year enveloped in a meditative halo of serenity.

THEN, we go and have a drink. :evilgrin:

;)

I think we're going to go to a meditative Labyrinth walk for an hour or so then have a quiet dinner and Champagne at home.

coming year. I love champagne.

and say hi..

maybe I will get a chance to say hi...if not :hi:

No money to go out on. Maybe I'll get some Crown and sit around.

:party:

This will be our third year going to the New Year Eve show. I'm really looking forward to it.

And probably won't until the day gets here, if I end up doing anything at all.

fam'ly. Yeeeeeeeeee--haw.

:eyes:

Seriously, I'm not wild about the idea of headin' south. Isn't Shreveport, um, rabidly red??? :scared:

Oh well. My uncle lives down there. My dad's side of the family decided that Shreveport would be just THE PERFECT PLACE (:eyes:) for a little end-of-the-year reunion. So I leave Wednesday and don't get back until late on January 2nd.

WOOO HOOO!!!! :bounce:

The Anvil is the delightful (well, maybe not "delightful". But it's a fun place) gay watering hole down the street from me. The bars on North Halsted (where most of the gay bars in Chicago are located) will be crowded/and will charge ridiculously high cover charges. The Anvil won't charge a cover charge.

I feel like going out for a little bit this year. I usually stay home.

I hope teevee doesn't suck that night. And no "New Year's Rockin' Eve."
I did get the boxed set of the first four Chieftans CDs, so that outta keep me busy.

Fireworks in the town square.

The Chevy Chase movie, "Funny Farm" was filmed there years ago, FWIW:applause:

in Cali. Boring ass vacation.

To make up for that, we're alternating clubbing/barhopping in the city (starting at 9 PM until we get kicked out)

Expect VERY drunken posts and sexual harassment at 4 am :D

Dammit my New Year's always suck. Just when I thought I might have a hot date for a change, my dating prospect told me she's going out of state. ba humbug

It was fun to go out and get smashed when I was in college but now we just stay home, eat lobster, drink champagne and go to bed early.

The last time I actually stayed up till midnight was 2000.

So far its men 2, women 1.

and avoiding crowds like crazy. Probably in bed before midnight--last year, I was in bed at 11:45 just to be in bed before midnight.

Sorry--as I get older, I tend to regard New Year's Eve as a very private night. For me, it's a time to think about the past and the future, and to look inward. I'm not much fun to others that night, but it is definitely a time to count whatever blessings I currently have.
