• Spending my first New Year's Eve not drinking. Somehow. Urgh.
• Ah the ol' sexfest-til-midnight and then new-years-sexup eh? Good times, good times.
• I'm havin' a nice-sized ourdoor party, with one of my homeboys deejaying and doing real-time mashups of your favorite hits of the eighties, nineties, and today. He does this one mix of KMFDM's "Megalomaniac" and Kelis' "Milkshake" that moves butt like Charmin. So, if you're in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA in the time, swing on by, we'd love to have ya.
• Turns out I won't be drinking, either. Have to drive back after seeing the Sadies at the Horseshoe, beyotch! So, an iddy-biddy widdle drink at the show, long out of the system before I get behind the wheel. (Plenty of Red Bull, though. Nice baby-powder flavoured burps throughout the evening. Yay.)
• I will be tucking in my younguns at 8, tucking in my long-suffering wife at 9:30, and tucking into a wee dab of Rumplemintz at midnight, as a reward to myself for another wildly successful year at doing whatever it is that I do.
• I haven't a clue. Ask me on New Years Eve. I'd like to think it would involve cocaine and dancing girls, but the coke will be gone by then and I don't know any dancing girls. Ho hum.
• I might be going to a black tie charity benefit in my hometown, with live music & an open bar. With grandparents babysitting that night *and* the next day, there's no telling how much I might be inspired to drink. Maybe TWO glasses of wine? Ah, Mickey, you crazy scamp!
• a wedding, with the bride and groom's kiss scheduled for midnight!
• Well, I guess it's easy to remember the anniversary. still I wouldn't have scheduled a wedding for one of the major holidays of the year. But - that's just me.
• I suppose it's better than those selfish bastards who schedule their wedding for one of the summer long weekends. But not that much better...
• Sitting on my ass in a beach chair in Montego Bay, far far far from the below-freezing weather I am currently "enjoying" here at home. (Hopefully with a big-ass glass of some rum drink in hand.)
• I will be constructing a burlap doll that I will name "caution live frogs" before sticking it with pins and lighting it on fire. I will also most likely get a mild wine or whiskey buzz on and then go to bed at 12:01. I am required to attend early church services on Jan. 1, and cannot get out of it. Stupid Jesus.
• As of right now, nothing. None of my friends are having parties; they're all going to parties of people they don't particularly like or only know through significant others. The same thing happened on Halloween and I spent the evening assembling IKEA furniture. (sigh) Well, I suppose someone's running a Twilight Zone marathon.
• I'll be having my first Guinness since Sept. 30 (when the test came back with two lines), at a bar called the Torch Club, where the Beer Dawgs play on a regular basis, with old friends. Kittenhead, Capt., even though we can only have limited or no alcohol, we can still have our own type of fun: laughing at the drunk people making asses of themselves!
• hey, mct, your burlap doll thing sounds pretty good. I'll pick up the supplies on my lunch break today.
• minda25 - congrats!! Mr. Mickey spent the whole time calling me "Designated Driver." grrrr
• Way to go, minda! Keep us updated! Not that it's any of our business!
• My boyfriend and I may be going to a big fancy corporate party thrown by a magazine. Open bar and a reason to dress up! Woo hoo! I've spent the last two NYE's doing nothing, so this sort of exciting.
• I'm going to a hot tub emptying ritual I read about on craigslist.
• If all goes well, I, #2 and our offspring will be at a cabin (cabin? More of a shed on stilts) in the Marlborough Sounds. The kids will be sound asleep and #2 and I will open a bottle of La Strada on the deck and toast the new year by candlelight before falling asleep at about 12:01. We're not used to late nights any more.
• First mr. medusa and I are going to see a friend perform with the CMC Orchestra, she has a piano solo, its a pretty big deal for her career and a fun dressup opportunity. then we are going to some wild party in SF with naughty friends and indoor pool and hottub. I will be snorting kitfisto's cocaine with dancing girls on my lap and on my face!! harharharharhhar!!!
• A wedding on New Year's Eve isn't so bad--free food and drinks, a decent dj (in this case), and we've had a plan for the night for a few months now.
• My band is supposed to be playing somewhere, I dunno where. Most likely, I'll get shitfaced, french kiss a random cute/lonely girl at midnight, pass out on a couch, and congratulate myself for neither getting sick nor driving myself home.
• LordSludge, you are my new god.
• LordSludge: You just exactly described my last New Year's outing. This year I'll be returning to the same party, and I have it on good authority that the cute girl will be there again.
• Last year I wore a fake top hat that I owned as a theatre costume. It was awesome.
• Crap. I have boring plans compared to the rest of ye. I'm gonna hang out with my friends for the last new Year before college. *le sob* xP
• Last year I hung out with some very nice ladies from Brazil, taking in Cassandra Wilson's show at the Blue Note. Not to brag or anything. Allright, I am bragging. Brazil, man, Bra-zil.
• this year I am going to an intentionally bad new Years's party. My friends and I were talking about how we always have high expectations for NYE, and its always a let-down. So we're having a theme party where nobody has fun or gets excited.
• I actually have no idea. I'll be a houseguest that night, so whatever my hosts feel like doing! I find it harder and harder each year to stay awake, and I miss Dick Clark. Yes, children, I have become A Curmudgeon.
• Plan A: Make and ass of myself, wearing a plastic hat and blowing streamers, somewhat drunk and hopefully strengthening world peace and bonds between countries, one cute drunk tourist at a time, in a hot climate. Plan B: Stay here and freeze my ass on some family event. Yeah, yet another one after Xmas. Wish me luck.

Just please don't poke the burlap doll in the genitals, thank you. (This vacation is to thank my wife for putting up with 6 years of me being in grad school... of course I will probably be living in a cardboard box in 6 months thanks to the shitty job market!)
• I'm hopeing Weezel is up to something interesting as I have no idea. Weezel?
• Undoubtedly I'll be here, since there's nowhere else to go on this island except the end of the world (no really), and if all goes well I'll be sucking face with some unbelievably adorable sailor boy and trying to keep my mind of this whole plane crash thing
• Oh... it's December already? Shit.
• Heh. frogsy, is that a greasemonkey script you used for quoting me? Looks like a style I've been seeing over on MeFi a lot lately. Promise, no genitals.
• THIS
• rocket88: Maybe I'll see you there.
• Curse you, Medusa.
• My cousins Doug and Hamish and myself will be going out with the lads (and lasses) on their firstfooting rounds. Hamish and I will play the pipes and drive off any lurking evil spirits. Doug is our designated driver. The lasses will kiss us. And folk will give us drink if we will just go away. We can't lose! :]
• this is evil. i've only just worked out what i'm doing for dec 25th*, now i have to work out something for six days later? oh well, any excuse to drink cheap champagne and expensive whiskey. * cooking an early dinner so infant can sit with us. falling asleep in armchair in front of telly.
• It's the 20th Annual [MsVader's Family] Christmas Party this year (conveniently falling on New Year's Eve), so we'll be eating, drinking, singing, dancing, and making merry with about 30 to 40 of our closest friends.
• It's our 6th anniversary (we did the New Year's wedding too, only we did it 1/1/2000, so we rule), so we'll be doing our traditional dinner and a movie. On New Years Day the in-laws take us out for a fancy dinner and give us presents. It will be a nice end to the holidays, especially after Christmas with my neocon brother.
• Pinko.
• Is that you Dan?
• Yes. I strongly disapprove of your life choices. However, we are having tiny sausages wrapped in bacon for Christmas dinner.
• Yay!!
• Yours, however, are being packaged up and sent out to the troops.
• That's ok, because I just painted "IMPEACH BUSH" on the front of the house. And on your car. And all your clothing.
• I'M A PEACH BUSH TOO!
• I've a peachy tuche? Well, indeed I have, but you, little sister, shouldn't be looking. *clenches*
• You know, whomever you're applying it to, "impeach" is such a cool word. From the Middle English empechen, to impede, accuse, from Anglo-Norman empecher, from Late Latin impedicare, to entangle : Latin in-, in; + pedica, fetter. And still, it makes me hungry for canned peaches (the halves, not the puny little slices). And how badass would we be as a nation if we impeached two Presidents in a row? Dang, I need more coffee and fewer office-party rum balls...
• Taxi for underpants monster!
• *clenches* Oh, damn you kit for the mental image that suggested... eeeaaurghh.
• Gimme some sugar!
• No more sugar for you, young man. Now, off to bed you go!
• *cries*
• /snorts kitfisto's sugar
• Curse you Medusa! Again!
• /snorts kitfisto's sugar again
• I will have just got off a night flight the morning of the 31st, so I'll be spending most of the day comatose and then entertaining a friend for dinner and bad TV. Yeahhhhhhh.
• /passes petebest a dancing girl
• i've just decided i'll spend the evening praising mothra.
• Drinking 'til I'm blind and trying to forget why I'm not in Milwaukee.
• So, what did everyone wind up doing? Mr. Minda and I had a nice dinner at PF Chang's, then met friends at their house for a bit before walking a few blocks to a bar. When we got to the bar, it was charging $20.00 a piece to get in, so we did not go in (as Mr. Minda said, "I'd pay it if the place was something special, but it's not even that good of a bar!"). We simply hung out at home, watched Dick Clark, and I had hot chocolate and a sip or two of his Guinness. I went to bed at about 1:00 (unbelievably late for me), and got woken up at 7:00 this morning by our Alarm Cat, whom I thought briefly about strangling.
• among many other things, too much nitrous oxide. heehee
• So, how was the wedding, patita? Medusa, I secretly envy you!
• well I am pretty seriously hung over today...altho if I were to divulge additional details re my evening your envy might increase...now back to my regularly scheduled day of watching fluffy movies and drinking beer.... HNY monkeys!
• Big meany.
• c'mon we all need face dancing girls! 'Fess up!
• I proved that I am, in fact, a geek. I was still feeling pretty flu-ish, so I stayed home. Played PS2, got caught up in the game, missed the new year by two minutes and went to bed. Wait, does that make me a geek, or a loser? 2006 is going to be better, by Mothra!
• after the beethoven performance I went to what was billed as a wild sex party, but lots of people did e, which does not enhance that scene, despite what one might imagine. Didn't engage in any hanky-panky but did drink some good champagne and float about in the hottub doing whipits, which is amusing... not sure if that makes me anything tho. I hope all the monkeys (and even all none monkeys, and maybe even republicans) have happy, healthy, fulfilling, peaceful 2006 with more bananas and less war and exploding stuff!
• We ended up in a stranger's house enjoying their hospitality and being amused by their two little black pug dogs who sounded like mini diesel engines. We repayed our host's kindness by accidentally waltzing off with their ciggies at 4 am. Tee and hee. I also have a hangover now. And am back in work. And I'm a bit gassy.
• Oh well, the good intention was there. I was in a passenger terminal with a bunch of tired people saying "Yay! Happy New Year" and looking for luggage. Good thing we brought some choice adult beverages. *hic* *toot!*
