So, it's the new year soon for some of us.

[Coidzor]

What's the Playground got planned?

I'm heading to a movie with some friends tomorrow(today) afternoon before heading to a party with some different friends.

I was going to have a hot date, but then I got rescheduled for a friday in order to make room for a girl's night out. (Yay for first dates that already don't bode well. :smallsigh:)

[Extra_Crispy]

Lets see, does planning on not remembering the night or most of the next morning count? It is great to have a good friend that used to be a bartender. :smallbiggrin:

[Phae Nymna]

going to see Valkyrie then some fireworks and champagne... yeah...

[Killersquid]

Painting my 40k army. I'm lonely.

[RTGoodman]

I just going to hang out with some friends at a bar/pub or two downtown, and that's probably about it. It's one friend's birthday, so we're sort of obligated to go out anyway, and New Years makes it even better (though the crowds SUCK).

[dish]

My husband's in bed with a horrible cold and sore throat at the moment, so I suspect we won't be doing much. We do have a guest arriving at 9pm tonight, so I might drag him out to a very nice local bar for a little drinking and dancing.

[Nychta]

In about three hours and sixteen minutes, 2008 will be so yesterday.

And I have nothing planned.

[Boo]

In about 24 hours I plan to watch a movie with my bird, but I don't think that's going to happen.

No, I don't literally mean a bird.

[Matticus]

I myself have just had a celebratory glass of fine wine with my parents. That is the extent of the celebration...

For one hour and twenty-three minutes away...Happy New Year, everybody!

[Don Julio Anejo]

As usual I spent $70 on early bird tickets to a club a lot of my friends are going to and will spend the 50 bucks I have left on drinks.

[Castaras]

Doing the same thing I always do. It's just a new year, nothing special...:smallconfused:

[Naleh]

WOOOO!

Twenty-oh-nine has begun!

(Living in New Zealand rules. :smallbiggrin:)

[ghost_warlock]

I'll be spending New Years Eve at work. :smallsigh:

I start my 4-day weekend from work on New Years Day, though. Might do something interesting then. :smallbiggrin: But I doubt it. :smallfrown:

Wait... Bring your camera to work, and take a picture of yourself beside a clock just as it hits midnight! >> Boring, but I think everyone should do this.

[Mastikator]

Last year I blacked out and made out with a stranger, this year I'm going home early.

[Fredthefighter]

Since I have nothing better to do I'm going to sit here and prowl the forums for any thread that I want to post on. Yep, I am one sad little man.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Was planning to go to family and celebrate with them(as I usually do) but no, no no, dense fog was predicted and we couldn't go. So instead we're going to stay at home.

So I'm at home, playing mah jong(spelling is butchered, sorry) with my brother and parents.

I'm a sad lil' no lifer.
So :
Donate to the please! Please! Please get a life foundation! (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=NFtnZcE9xE8)

But....I don't have a job.....

[bosssmiley]

I'll be spending Old Year's Night (as we northerners and the people of Barbados ( :smallconfused: ) know it) with Miss Eggy, good alcohol, and some of my favourite films. The rest of the world can go to Hell.

[dish]

Onr hour six minutes and I'm still drying my hair.

[OldSchoolGamer7]

Absolutely nothing. I don't even understand why this is a holiday. All it really means to me is about a month of dating my checks wrong.

Forgive my bitterness, but I just don't see why some of these holidays are holidays.

[valadil]

Ditching work early. I've got a party to go to, but it's about 10 mi away and the snow is coming down at an inch an hour. I'm gonna see how the roads look come 8pm and either get drunk at the party or get drunk at home with the ladyfriend.

Tomorrow is for hangovers and/or game of thrones board game.

[late for dinner]

I am going to the Insight Bowl at ASU...might have a beer
I will look up to see the planets in the night sky...during the game...might have another beer
I am going home to hang out with my roommate and possibly watch comedy central until the station gets turned off at 1201 due to new contract agreements...might have a beer
Worms on xbox live arcade...wont have a beer
Sleep...no beer here
The Dark Knight with my family the next day cause they havent seen it...or here

[Helanna]

Well jeez it starts early for some of you! It's not even noon up here where I am. Psh, "time zones". . .

I'll probably be hanging out at home though, on the computer or something. My family usually just spends it in our house. It just snowed pretty heavily though, so it's not like we could go anywhere anyway!

[Raewyn]

Absolutely nothing. I don't even understand why this is a holiday. All it really means to me is about a month of dating my checks wrong.

Forgive my bitterness, but I just don't see why some of these holidays are holidays.

An excuse to celebrate? I dunno.

Also, I've read something about people putting the years on their checks ahead of time so they don't forget. I know you were just making an off-hand remark, but I figured I'd mention it.

[dish]

Happy New Year Playground!
It's been 2009 for 49 minutes already here in Shanghai.
I spent it watching fireworks through bamboo leaves and drinking champagne.
Have a good one, youse lot.

[Jalor]

Some friends and I are going to Hard Rock Live to see a Classic Albums Live performance of Dark Side of the Moon.

Painting my 40k army. I'm lonely.
Oooh, what race? Reminds me of my last New Year...
Not space Marines, please.

[Berserk Monk]

South Park marathon on Comedy Central as well a Twilight Zone Marathon on Sci-Fi. Year, I got no plans.

[Cristo Meyers]

Fallout 3, Spore, Guitar Hero 3, Okami, watching the third season of Slayers, drinking, or some combination of the prior list plus improvised activities that I may or may not remember...

...then it's back to work on Friday :smallsigh:

[Sneak]

Well, I've got driver's ed from 5:15 to 8:30 PM. Exciting, no? :smallyuk:

After that, I'm going to a friend's house for a new year's party, though. So it's okay.

[Cristo Meyers]

Well, I've got driver's ed from 5:15 to 8:30 PM. Exciting, no? :smallyuk:


Man...in some places that'd be a trial by fire...I try my damndest to stay off the roads New Year's

[Mordokai]

Watching TV, reading Calvin&Hobbes collection, chatting, drinking a little...

It's just another ordinary day for me :smallsmile:

[UnChosenOne]

Just a 3 hours and 50 minutes to the 09. Well i'm not doing anything unnormal at this night. You see there is blizzard at outside.

[Sneak]

Man...in some places that'd be a trial by fire...I try my damndest to stay off the roads New Year's

Well, it's not actually driving. Can't get my permit yet. :smallsigh:

It's just three hours spent in a room in the basement of a building, listening to police officers lecture about driving. I think we're covering road rage today. Fun. Although I expect we'll get out early, as I imagine the instructors would rather be somewhere else just as much as we would. :smalltongue:

[Arokh]

Well, plans so far are to go to the next city, meet a few friends/mates in a bar/pub and see what the consumption of alcoholic beverages might lead to.:smallamused:

Secondary objectives involve not hitting on Mrs. Floor again, and of course trying to survive the only night(s) a year drunk people are granted access to explosives...:smallannoyed:

So long, Arokh.

[Athaniar]

What I am doing? Posting here, of course.

[Da King]

Going out with some friends tomorrow, hopefully will spend a large portion of the day painting miniatures/playing LoZ:Windwaker.

[Mc. Lovin']

Absolutely nothing. I don't even understand why this is a holiday. All it really means to me is about a month of dating my checks wrong.

Forgive my bitterness, but I just don't see why some of these holidays are holidays.

Any excuse innit.

Me and a couple of mates went off to an elvis impersonator thing, well fun :smallbiggrin:

[afroakuma]

I'm already there, as of 48 mins ago.

[rankrath]

oh boy, they dropped the giant ball on new york. hu-freaking-zah.

Well, happy new years.

[tgva8889]

oh boy, they dropped the giant ball on new york. hu-freaking-zah.

Well, happy new years.

Happy New Years to everyone on the East Coast of USA!

[Tichrondrius]

Happy New Year 13 minutes ago.

I started drinking too early, it wore off before 12. Huzzah.

[Shades of Gray]

I spent my New Years making cameo comics at a stupidly fast rate, taking brief Rock Band 2 breaks periodically (Thanks to Hannukah of course)

[Mauve Shirt]

Spent tonight hanging with a bunch of drunk people and waiting for them to leave so I can go to bed.

[Alleine]

oh boy, they dropped the giant ball on new york. hu-freaking-zah.

Well, happy new years.

I vote next year we put explosives inside. Or something that while not deadly, is at least extremely inconvenient.

[RabbitHoleLost]

I just spent New Years playing Rock Band with my drunken father and his friends.
Yaaaay.

[reorith]

i went to see two films alone. yes man and then the spirit. then i went home and drank until the clock read 00:13 so i sent a couple of text messages to the seven people in my address book and drank some gin before receiving an email from my ex-gf containing some n00ds. 2009 has blown severely so far.

[Dragonrider]

I have one hour and eleven minutes left till the new year....

I'm posting.

DUH. :smalltongue:

[Kigganaku]

Well in 45 minutes I'll tell you.

[Alleine]

hooray for people on the west coast! 26 minutes it says to me.

[Kigganaku]

15 and counting... I swear clocks always get slower when you watch them.

[Naleh]

Geez, you people are slow. I'm almost onto Day Two!

[Alleine]

Geez, you people are slow. I'm almost onto Day Two!

shush, you. I'll get to the new year on my own good time.

[Kigganaku]

Like say... Now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

[Alleine]

Well, there goes one awful, horrible, no good, very bad year.
Time for the next one. *sigh*

[Turcano]

Well, I just cracked open a (50ml) bottle of Courvoisier XO Imperial.

Happy New Year, everyone.

[reorith]

Well, I just cracked open a (50ml) bottle of Courvoisier XO Imperial.

[Turcano]

Thank you, I will. :smalltongue:

Seriously, the full bottle is like 200 bucks.

[Bitzeralisis]

First post... in the new year!

[Myatar_Panwar]

I just spent about 5 hours playing some trivia game, with people about 3 times as old as me, and sucking at it horribly. Still, some pretty funny moments were had.

Happy new year playground!

[Em Blackleaf]

I kicked off the new year playing Fable.

I'm so lame (Merry 2009!).

[Dallas-Dakota]

Happy 2009!


Which it's already been for 11 hours and two minutes for me.:smalltongue:

[DrakebloodIV]

happy 3 hour late 2009 from the stick folk here in Colorado :smallbiggrin:

[Boo]

Happy 3 hour belated 2009 from Powell River!

[biggest]

Old year passed and I got together with a bunch of friends and we had a blast. We drank, did some karaoke, dancing and we totally rocked the new years night.

Happy 2009 everybody!

[Coidzor]

*stumbles back in*

I made an ass of myself while drunk for the very first time. Unfortunately I don't think I got drunk enough because I started to realize how much of an ass I made of myself.

Then I did some dishes and snuck out of the apartment I passed out in. I at least think I know whose apartment it was...

Now I'm back at the friends place where the party was supposed to be... but, y'know, apartment blocks where the residents don't want to all kill one another can get a bit chaotic at times. Especially with college students.

[Jae]

ahh this is late but i spent new years eve day with my two best friends running around town doing errands and stuff and then just hanging out and getting ready. =]]]

then i went to a party my friend threw which was more like a get together with games and a lot of hanging around and eating and joking and laughing :smallbiggrin:

it was uber fun.

[Moff Chumley]

My cousins party was crap. There was Halo 3, which was nice, but you can only get fraged so many times before it gets old. I wish I was on here, like last year. :smallfrown:
