I actually love New Year's Eve.

This year, it's a romantic mini-getaway for two (the boyfriend and I):

Dinner at Gargoyles on the Square, check out the fixed menu.
And then a night at the Charles River Hotel. Picking up some champagne along the way.

I'm excited. :)

watch football - drink heavily - probably sob about my failed life to my puppy at around 3am

that sounds wonderful on ANY OTHER NIGHT, but with the traffic and crowds and the drunken dipshits running around... ugh

I'm not a hater, I wish you a wonderful evening and hope you have an awesome time, but I simply cannot stand the way people behave on New Year's Eve.

No crowd bullshit...keeping it quiet.
Me, the girl, and (I think) 5 of our friends.
Thai green curry with whole chicken drumsticks from scratch, with a few twists...and baked.
Baked potatoes, Kumara, tomatoes, seasoned individually.
Some kinda funky pasta bake.
Honey/soy/sesame chicken wings, with just a little maple syrup.
HEAPS of mixed Mesclun based salad, dressed, with the aformentioned tomatoes through it, avocado, some double smoked cheddar, pomegranate, and pepper.
Tandoori chicken (see the chicken theme? No we really just went out and couldn't be fucked shopping around too much.), home baked, probably gonna throw on a premix butter chicken sauce with a few spices.
Rice, rice, rice.
Burrito wraps, Bread.
Indian snacks: Muruku (look it up) and garlic/chilli peas, spicy bhuja mix with sultanas.
Watermelon with cracked pepper...yeah probably seems a little weird, but I love it to fuckin' death.
Made my killer yoghurt based garlic sauce for whatever purpose it may serve.
I think we're gonna bake some corn cobs too.
Drinks...lotsa drinks, orange, cola and lemonade sodas, orange juice, mango & apple juice, two bottles of tequila (El Jimador and Jose Gold) a bottle of Malibu, leftover chocolate schnapps and butterscotch schnapps, bottle of black douglas I got given to me for xmas, whatever the undecided guy ends up bringing, some champagne, a case of blue "cruisers"...which some kinda deceptively strong girly drink that seem to turn your shit green the next day...and a case of cerveza.
Lots of weed.
Bunch of store-bought candy.
The pre-prep for the food is taken care of now (12:30am NYE here), the girl, myself and a buddy have been working our asses off...
Activity wise, I imagine there'll be a bit of cooking...
PS2, and PS3, dvds and games, tv timed to check out the fireworks, drunkness, wastedness, good food and company, pigging the FUCK out, hangin' with our peeps, my cool cat, my shitty cat, my lizards, and my rat.
Don't imagine a drunk NY fuck'll be outta the question when the guys fuck off and/or go to sleep.

S'it really.

close family are meeting at my house n we r just doing the typical bbque thingy..the rest of the week will be spent getting ready to go back to work.Yes ..em very boring

Some family is coming over and we'll drink, eat, maybe watch some movies... nothing spectacular. I refuse to go anywhere though. I'm working today until about 5 (if the end of the year processes go as well as planned) and then heading home until at least tomorrow morning. I agree with Rod about the driving, and it will be worse here in MI tonight because we're expected to get up to 4 inches of snow which will make those drunken idiots even worse on the road.

my plans for the new years are completely ruined. What a happy fuckin nite for me:)

Sounds like my night... except for all the yummy food, cause I can't cook half as good as cheebs/phalanx. Oh and all the animals... only got one really weird fucking cat meself.

Hope everyone has a good night. :)

I'm having a party around my uncle's house and they are always great. I just hope this year, all the fire works will leave the ground before they blow up. And oh yeh, I'll be able to celebrate the new year hours before you! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :D

drink one of those little heineken kegs and play lots of beer pong
