New Year's Eve
OP - December 31, 2009, 03:18 PM

So how is everyone spending their last day of 2009?

Any plans? Fireworks? Clubbing? Spending time with family?

I'm the Scrooge of New Years Eve. I have never enjoyed it. I don't like to mark the passing of time in general, but New Years seems to bring out the worst in me for whatever reason.

Prolly just chill at home and look at porno. I'd go with some friends to downtown, but just too much snow and cold.

Getting smashed in both the literal and the metaphorical ways. In other words, as usual

Public new years eve celebrations are terrible. Going into the city, cold and wet, full of drunken folks with an excess of positivity and drunken joy, hella hard to get back home, pubs and clubs overcharge like evil motherfukkers, forget all that.

Staying at home with the usual slightly maudlin quiet celebration with close family is also cloying.

You're going to wake up tommorow and the world is still going to be full of suffering!

Anyway, I like getting drunk and happy, don't get me wrong, I just don't like new years eve, I'd rather get drunk in the middle of June and tell everyone I love them yaamwaaaah giveusakiss

I don't want to go through the hassle of going to see fireworks. I have been invited to a house party by some old school friends but none of my close friends from school who I actually talk to are going so I might just bail and stay at home.

I feel really crap though lol. Maybe I'll go buy myself a bottle of wine and drink alone.

I'm gonna try jerking off as the NYC countdown begins. Hopefully this year, I can ejaculate the exact same time when the ball drops. It's been my goal every year, and it never worked out. But in 2009, I've paid extra attention to working out my forearms--so I feel optimistic.

It's already the new year here...2010. It came and went three hours ago. I was in the middle of "Office Space" which I downloaded and watched based on a recommendation in another thread.

Last day of 2010? hmm...don't know. I got a year to plan it, but I might as well get started because the last day of 2009 is gonna be fuckin boring.

I love New Year's Eve Especially this time since 2009 sucked balls. At least for me.

Here it's nice because it's summer not winter. But this time I'll spend it quietly with some friends in their home. It'll be nice, looking forward to it.

tea and cake or death!!!

House party in Fishtown tonight. Gonna stay sober for this one. Should be interesting-- never done a NYE party in my adult life without getting smashed. In fact, not sure I've ever been to a party where people were drinking and I wasn't. I think they're doin Korean BBQ there tonight.

Dont you think you could have chosen a better night other than New Years Eve to stay sober?

IsLame, I've spent a good portion of my late teen and adult life getting lit up, and very recently I've come to a fairly upsetting conclusion-- I don't really enjoy drinking anymore. Out of the last dozen times I've gotten blasted, I've enjoyed myself maybe twice, and it's a good bet I would've enjoyed myself as much without the drinking on those occasions.

So a few days ago I decided I'm quitting it for the time being. I didn't "hit rock-bottom", nor did I have a really bad drunken experience which made me want to swear off drinking (though I've had plenty of those in the past), I just decided it's not much fun anymore. Not saying I'll never get drunk again, not even 100% committing I won't drink tonight, but right now it doesn't have any appeal for me, and I think it's unlikely I'm gonna want to drink tonight-- that's all. I'll have some good food, and with any luck there will be a cute, single girl there for me to chat up. But I don't foresee any crazy Q-Man drunkenness tonight like on past New Years.

P.S.--

I would, but unfortunately there are no baby seals in Philly.

2010 is three hours old now. I spent it eating good food and drinking good wine with some friends and then we went to the big open-air celebration at Skansen in Stockholm. 10 degrees below zero, but with the right clothes it was great fun all the same. Got to hear the Swedish singer Lisa Nilsson (lately of samba fame) sing opera - and doing a very good job of it. That is one talented lady!

Listening to the Swedish translation of Tennyson's poem Ring Out, Wild Bells, really hit home with me this year (it is rather a free translation so I translate the translation for you).

Ring lögnens makt från världens gränser ut,
och ring in sanningens till oss som famla.
...
Ring hatet ut emellan rik och arm
och ring försoning in till jordens släkten.

Ring out the power of lies from the borders of the world,
and ring in that of the truth to us who fumble.
...
Ring out the hate between rich and poor
and ring in consolation to the peoples of the earth

Here's hoping for a great 2010 for all of you, and especially for those of you who are in difficult transitions.

last year I finally went to go see the ball drop considering that I live in NY lol. It was a once in a life time experience. After that you just want to be in the warmth of your house and watch it there lol

So I gave in and had a couple of gin and tonics but definitely didn't get drunk, not even close, and I'm normally not the type to drink in moderation, so that was enough outta character for me. Very small, quiet affair. No Korean BBQ, but great food-- roasted duck and homemade sauteed pierogi stuffed with potatoes, scallions and roast pork, topped with duck gravy-- fuck yeah. And bein the mooch I am made sure to hustle some of the potato filling to eat as mashed potatoes with the duck gravy to take home. Back home by 1:05am. Definitely a laid-back NYE.

For a city/state where fireworks are illegal, folks sure do love their fireworks in Philly. Of course, people also celebrate here by firing handguns into the air and that's definitely illegal. And fuck, drivin back I've never seen so many police cruisers in my life-- geez.

Anyhow, Happy New Years ya'll!

fuck you
