I know it's six weeks away or so, but since this is our first New Year's Eve as a forum, I'd ask people what was their best New Year's Eve, and what was their worst. For me, the worst was when I was around 13 or 14. My mom went to a party with her new boyfriend, and dumped my brother and me at her aunt's house (my great-aunt) and her cousins (whom I didn't know). Everyone went to bed early, and when the last cousin went to bed, at around 10:00, she turned off the TV and said don't turn it on - I can't sleep with it on. So, me and my brother just sat around a dimly lit house, sipping soda and munching crackers until about two or three when my mom got back. My best New Year's Eve? I'd honestly have to say it hasn't happened yet. Usually, if I'm not working that night, I just spend it in front of the television with some kind of movie marathon going on. This year, I thought I might hang out here, see if anything gets planned or whatever.
Never had a bad New Year's Eve. All we did was eat, drink, and stay awake. Then again, all I've ever done was play games through the night.
Worst was sat in a smoke pub whilst my mother drank herself silly. Best was last year, tub of ice with coke, growth and budweiser, watching jools Holland and stepping outside for the fireworks
Best: New Year's Eve 2008: I was playing a video game online for the first time in my life and it was Halo 3, it was such a blast. Worst: Every New Year's Eve I've slept through.
Best: I forgot it was New Years Eve last year. Worst: I forgot it was New Years Eve last year. (In retrospect I ask, How?)
I cannot recall virtually all of mine. I spent one with a friend in their old house, drinking, but choosing not to get drunk. (Weird concept for a lightweight like me.) One was with my father and other sister in North Carolina. Record breaking snowfall and it all iced over in the night. I was 13 or 14 and ended up drinking a shot's worth of some alcohol I don't know the name of (tiny bottle, dark turquoise in color). Didn't get drunk, of course. The roads in front of our house were complete sheets of inch-thick ice. A car ended up sliding and getting stuck in the drainage ditch. A cop slowly crept its way along to call in a tow truck for them. My dad and I trekked out across our 3-foot-thick icy lawn to see. I ended up slipping on the road and hitting the ground hard, then sliding into the ditch a few times. Couldn't stand on the ice like my dad and the cop (aviator glasses in the middle of the night--like a boss). That was a fun night, I guess. I remember having a kink in my neck for several hours, but my dad manged to crack my neck and get it out. Sounds scary, but he was a pro. lol
My worst was probably when I was too engrossed in Battlefield 2 that I didn't realise it was the new year until 0010 :derpe:
That does remind me of one New Year's Eve I didn't sleep for, like, two days, and I didn't come home for about five days. My dad wasn't exactly happy, but I was 20 and he didn't think he could do much about it.
I've had 18 new year's eves, and they've nearly all been bad. Several have been down to family members getting drunk and arguing, and saying things that shouldn't be said. This one's going to be the worst. I genuinely don't even want to face it, I don't think I can really. Same goes with Christmas.
Alas Lupr, such is the curse of ethanol. I'd love it if we had an Everypony New Years Celebration, but that would be rather financially taxing.
Well let's see... My best New Years was... I dunno. I don't really remember them because they all just involved me staying up late. My most interesting one was this past New Year's Eve. I was on break from school and was visiting my mom. We went to my step great aunt and step grandmother's house. They bought champagne for me and so I obliged them in drinking it. During my first glass my great aunt called me whimpy because I was casually sipping. So I took that as a challenge and downed it. Four glasses later I couldn't figure out stairs and I realized I had a low alcohol tolerance.
Neither can I exactly, but I just tried thinking of ones I couldn't experience or ones that were not too fun at all.
Bad New Years? Hoho, do i have a few under my belt. I'll keep it short and sweet: Alcohol gives your relatives the courage to say what they've always wanted to say to you but never have. "I don't mean to be rude, but-" No, no you are being rude. You just left me feeling unwanted and sad because you got pissed. Also, this is my 30 minutes of sanity i have for the next 3 days. Enjoy it while it lasts.
