New Years Locations

So, have any of you planned what you're gonna be doing once the year changes? With family? Sleeping? Partying? Also, try and remember what you did during the past New Years, when the year changed, as far as you can remember.

Nothing sure planned yet this year. I'm heavily considering climbing this motherfucker of a volcano on the 31st and possibly watching the fireworks from the far off capital from the summit once midnight strikes. It's Guatemala's/Central America's highest point. Whatever I do, I'm just happy to be free this year. It's my favorite holiday.

Year change locations:
2006 New Year: State Prison. Watching the celebrations from the Las Vegas Strip on the news live.
2005 New Year: State Prison. Listening to the best songs of 2005 on whatever radio station.
2004 New Year: With my brother and his girlfriend on the Las Vegas Strip. Drunk, the year changed when we were in front of the Fashion Show Mall and Treasure Island.
2003 New Year: County Jail. Since it was in Vegas in the downtown area, me and my cellmate watched the fireworks outside our ninth story window.
2002 New Year: With Lenore on our balcony. I was drunk as hell.
2001 New Year: With three friends of mine on the Las Vegas Strip. Can't remember where I was exactly.
2000 New Year: Las Vegas Strip with three friends. My very best New Years. I had gotten EXTREMELY drunk earlier in the night and passed out in an alley near the Flamingo Hilton. Luckily, about five minutes before the year changed, I woke up and rejoined my friends. I was right in front of Caesar's Palace.
1999 New Year: My very first New Years at the Las Vegas Strip. With my girlfriend and her family. Year changed in front of Caesar's Palace/Bally's.
1998 New Year: Spent it at the house of the above mentioned girlfriend and her family.
1997 New Year: With the above mentioned girlfriend, though a friend at the time, at her apartment with her family.
1996 New Year: At the Rivera Casino with my arcade chums, who over the years I'd spend more New Years with. Too scared to go outside and hang on the Strip that year.
1995 New Year: In Los Angeles with a life-long friend of mine. I'm not fully sure, but I think we fell asleep on some bed and weren't awake for the change. My last New Years in California.

Can't remember past that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My New Years are always boring. I just stay home with my family and stay up to midnight to watch the ball drop. New Year's Eve in 1999 was much more exciting than any other, though, because my dad and older cousin made trash bag bombs and kept setting them off. (Trash bag bomb = trash bag filled with oxygen and that other gas welders use. You get a good ways away from it and throw a lit firecracker at it. It makes a very loud boom and shakes everything.) The people across the street were partying and thought that they'd try to make their own bombs, so my dad and them had a bomb war. Eventually the cops came and everyone had to stop.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have spent New Year's Eve at my sister's place with family for the past couple of years. When we were younger, Mom and Dad used to go to the Mill Party and we stayed home. In my last couple of years of High School, my Dad would usually work the evening and Mom, my brother and I would watch CBC's Comedy specials.

Christmas is usually more fun than New Years.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Most of my new years are spent at home just watching the Times Square ball drop, however for the past 2 of them, we've visited family friends and celebrated there. I always seem to get a headache, even without any alcohol. I hear my family is planning the same thing this new years.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Will be spending New Years' ridin' on Amtrak, possibly sipping on wine.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I haven't done anything interesting for New Year's the last few years. I've just been at home with my family, but I like that. I definitely wanna try New Year's out in other cities sometime.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Most of my new years' have been spent watching the ball drop on tv.

this time it will be in person... err, in ball.

FELIPE NO

I don't care too greatly for New Years. I have never enjoyed any New Years that much as to make me remember them. I usually go to a family-friend's place (or, last year, have people come to our house; never again will that happen).

I'll go to the events this year as well, however I assume I'll be a bit of a party-pooper when I grow up (as if I'm not already one). It's just a poor excuse to lose hours of sleep.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

This New Years, I'm going to be in a hot tub with this petite little brunette in an old oil money mansion in San Antonio, probably sipping on expensive champagne. Some days my life is ridiculous even to me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I would babysit every new years, everyone knew that I never did anything that night so there was always a mad dash on who could book me first to babysit.

Since I moved out here, still the same, I just sit a home and watch the fireworks that are set off by other people.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

this year, we've got a party booked in a pool hall, it's a big party room with 2 tables, a couple of poker tables, and we're having it catered.

and chibi neko is invited, so she doesn't have to stay at home watching TV

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My New Year's is typically at home with the family watching the Times Square ball drop, toasting with sparkling cider. I'm not one for crowded parties or dances or anything like that, just with the way I'm wired, so the more sedate at-home feeling is preferable for me.

How ya doing, buddy?

This year, I'll probably watch some DVD's. I have a rather big backlog of them to get through. Never really celebrated the New Year.

All of my previous New Years have been spent at home with my family.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I would love to list all my past New Year's locations and where I've spent them but the truth is I can't remember where I've spent them since 1997. However, this upcoming 31st I'll be in Mexico drunk off my ass and firing guns in the air like it's the motherfucking Mexican Revolution Part Deux.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I just found out my girlfriend's family is going on a trip to see some relatives for a week, starting on the 31st, and she's going with them, so I will be alone on New Year's Eve. And I have no plans as of now. =/

FELIPE NO

It used to be at my Aunt's house, but after they moved from a huge house to a smaller one, they stopped throwing parties. Nowadays, my parents usually have a party consisting of family and friends. Nothing too huge, but just some company to welcome in the New Year.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

90% of my New Year's were spent at my house. This year it's going to be a gigantic party here. HDTV with movies or sports on, two Wii video game consoles, poker tournaments, beer, party subs, pop, chips....

Most fun day of the year is always the very last.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Same thing I do every new year: sleep. I don't like parties or drinking so I'll probably hang out with my girlfriend for a couple of hours, tell her to go home when I get bored, and turn in for an early night.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll probably spend this New Years at home with my family. That or I might go down to the Vegas Strip to the major celebration. Too early to tell, really.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I mostly just stay home to celebrate it except for the few times we went out to Pennsylvania to visit some family over there and celebrate.
This is year I'm just staying home. We have other friends and family over but its never a big blowout of a party.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hey, another Vegas member. =O

I remember as far back as 1999 with clarity. I spent that new year, and the next two with the same group of buddies. We used to live together for a while, and we always went out togetherfor a few drinks on New Years. We've all moved to different parts of the country though, so that doesn't happen anymore.

I didn't go out at all for New Years 2002, because that was a bad year, and I wasn't in the mood to celebrate anything for most of it. From 2003 to 2006 I saw in New Years with a succession of house parties, but now I've decided I want a quieter celebration, so I'm spending this one with my girlfriend. Just the two of us.

I'm a bit said to not see my friends on New Year's Eve, but most of us are spending it with family or loved ones this time. None of us party quite as wildly as we used to.

last 2-3 home alone, masturbating. I might have gone drinking on one of them.
This newyears, Hopefully im drunk with a couple of friends, and maybe maybe (if universe wants) i get a girl.

no homo

Going over to Mississauga a couple of towns over, and our close friends consisting of 7 families total will get together and watch the Times Square Ball drop on TV and have a fun happy sleepover. Random filipino gestures such as throwing money on the floor for all the young ones to pick up will occur, and all us children will scream at the top of our lungs and disturb the neighbours at the stroke of midnight.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I just stay home. I don't really celebrate the New Year's at all anymore. The last time I did anything was back in 2003 when my buddy and I went to the bar and got piss-drunk. Then, we walked to my place and played some Age of Empires II.
