I hope everyone has a lovely New Year. Tell us what you're doing!
I'm cooking lamb and it'll just be the two of us. It's how I like it.

It may be early, but we've already gone through wine, sake, and absinthe, and it can only go downhill from here so Happy New Year while I can still type.

I'm at home drinking some nice wine and having a self-cooked meal of the highest caliber which I'm capable of making (which turns out to be pretty good, fortunately), helping a few folks out in Eve and playing some Dwarf Fortress on and off. Oh, and random anime. Basically, I'm doing whatever the fuck I feel like. Here's hoping the wine lasts until midnight, though.  |

Macaroni and cheese and warm fuzzy socks? You so cute.
What the hell is random anime? Is it spontaneous? Does it just happen?

Potato-leek soup, lightly toasted pita with homemade hummus, and a cucumber-dill salad, thankyouverymuch. :) And yes. I just kind of tune my computer in the direction of East Asia and stuff happens on screen. It's quite the mindfuck. |

I don't go to parties anymore unless they're thrown by a gaming company, a publisher of some sort (books, games, whatever), or ME. I don't trust human beings not to piss me off in an environment where I can't smack them one upside the head. |

I'll be fine. Contrary to what it may seem, I'm happy to spend it by myself :). 2006 was the Year of the Loner: I'll pay tribute accordingly. The people I know are a bore, that's all. And busybodies. Yapping about their jobs or yapping about other people. Or yapping about how I should quit smoking for a New Year's Resolution. I go to parties to have fun. Not to hear lecturing and bullshit. The kegs were full of Bud Light anyways. No big loss to me. |

Flyers finally win back-to-back games. That's a good enough New Year's for me I suppose. I can hardly even go to bars/clubs/parties; 95% of the time I become painfully bored after about 45 minutes, sober or otherwise.
The last time I stayed for any amount of time was due to someone having a PS2 and NHL 07 hooked up to a big LCD; everyone else just simply drank and conversed loudly. I'm a bore I guess.

Only 15 minutes away from 2007. Just having a nice laid back evening at home. Like quite a few others, Dave is playing Eve tonight.
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

I've decided to start a movement to replace "Happy New Year" with something culturally/numerologically/calendarically neutral and thereby make the original expression as politically incorrect as "Merry Christmas" has become.
So... Warm Tidings, everyone.

My new years resolution was to breathe out whenever i breathe in... so far it's going good.
Made three kinds o sushi, a sicilian lobster soup and two kinds of homemade icecream. Drank a bottle of sicilian white, an Amarone and a nice muscadet (gave the wife a bit too) and spent most of the night holding hands with the 1½-year old, who didn't like the constant barrage of fireworks, while trying to watch a movie. The five year old liked my firework display but demands that next year I buy noiseless fireworks (?!), like the mess made from confetti and went to bed at 10.
I sometimes miss the parties...

I went to a friends house in the mountains and played pool tournaments while drinking nice scotch in moderation. I wake up today for the real holiday, New Years Day. A day of feasting all day with family, football all day, and good times.

We listened to the crazy drunk guys down the street scream and holler and bang pots and pans for ages. It was nice. Righ had a wee drink of whisky and gave me a big kiss. We watched fireworks from around the world for a bit. We were boring but not bored.
Godt Nytt År!

Know a guy who I had heard was gonna have a party at his apartment, so I went there. When I arrived it turned out he wasn't there, just his roomies and a bunch of their friends. Was pretty sweet anyway though, we played guitar hero and engaged in all the other activities which comes with the occasion. Btw, I think it's "Gott Nytt År!" if it's meant to be in swedish |

Day 1:
Already a shitty year. I'd drink, but I've got to drive an hour to see the family because they can't be fucked to drive down here. Were it not for the Son's B-day celebration I'd tell them all to cram it and go out for Pizza.
Yeah Happy Happy, Fuckers.

I now remember why I quit drinking. Met some nice new people, and had interesting conversations, so the evening was pleasant enough.
Of course, I should have been unpacking and straightening the new place, but.....

Happy New Year to all of you. Thanks Schild for keeping F13 going along with the writers and moderators. 2007 is a new beginning for me - I have finished a certain segment of my career - now onto the next thing. Whatever that will be |

A very interesting new years. Didn't get very drunk, realized my girlfriend is WAY too clingy, saw my buddy piss on my other buddies car while someone took a picture and decided to take the bus home at 2:30 in the morning. Cause it was free.
Now I have to finish packing cause I move into my new place tomorrow and start school in a week. Yay!
