How did you bring in the New Year?

Partying in Second Life until the last half an hour, then having drinks and watching the ball drop with my husband, parents and Aunt Dee. It was lovely. :)

Alone.

First you need one of these whistles that reproduce the cry of the animal you are set to hunt. I have always found a nice record of swinging jazz to be doing just the trick.
When the creature is in sight, you'll need a net to capture it (my cleaning lady offered me a nice lacey red pair of knickers for the occasion - Italians think red underwear bring good luck) and some sort of calming agent - NOT a bludgeon, you could damage it - a nice night cap usually does the trick (a 21 old rum does it extra nicely).
Some people would recommend nailing the captured new year safely into place on your agenda, but I do rather prefer to let it flutter about in the house: years held in captivity do rarely sing...

That's tooo funny! Hope it doesn't require much to eat.

[spacedlaw.livejournal.com]

Well, it will eat the hours away and, if you are not careful, your life as well. But it's a wild beast, so I suppose this is to be expected...

I love this comment. ^_^

[spacedlaw.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I was watching the countdown on TV, and eating oranges with my sister.

It was a very domestic way to start the year.

I was sleeping. How lame am I?

[jovi-diva.livejournal.com]

We can be lame together because that's what I was doing too! :D

[tonya.livejournal.com]

Hehe, such is the life of a mom!

[jovi-diva.livejournal.com]

Amen my sister! HAHA!

Walking back and forth between two great parties with old friends, all of which started at 6 pm. Finally walked back home at 2 am. And it was quite cold (10 C) so the dancing was very useful.

Watched Children of Men with Mom, napped, watched the traditional Times Square bit, etc. :)

Playing Guitar Hero with my friends Joe, Anisa, Phil and Steve. We had a really good time and I didn't even drink that much. For some reason I'm still feeling hung over. lol

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

With champagne, a phone call with my sweetheart, snuggly dogs scared of fireworks outside, and some writing.

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I was killing a Gloomingdeep Kobold.

I was sleeping...I couldn't make it. I'm a weiner. First time in... YEARS. I was sick a couple of years ago, but I still managed to wake up around midnight. I think this may be the first time since I was a baby that I slept through it.

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

Dancing and drinking champagne at a club with my gay boys and Swedish girls.

Kicking and screaming.  You see, when Baby New Year got wind he was walking into a world that is currently full of war, umemployment rates skyrocketing, stock markets plunging, oil prices that would cost even the richest of men a fortune, etc., well...he decided to pull a Bruce Willis a la Baby Talk and started shrieking, "Nooooooooooo!  Put me back in!  Put me back in!"  And fugetaboutit when he got a look at the rough shape the old year was in.  "That's what I'm gonna look like in a year's time?!?!?!  You people have got to be out of your minds if you think I'm sticking around!"  When told he had no choice, he curled up in a ball and muttered over and over, "I'm in my happy place.  I'm in my happy place" while the rest of us watched the ball drop at Times Square.

Other than that, it was a pretty quiet evening. ;)

LMAO!

I love that movie :D

And yeah, I'm not surprised the new year wanted to go back in and forget about it!

[empatia.livejournal.com]

I fell asleep on the couch while watching two and a half men. Woke up and couldn't sleep again so i watched bugs bunny and tweety until it was time to get up and start my Mommy n' Me day, watching the Rose Bowl parade!! It's kind of a tradition for me and my Mom. :D *rolls eyes* oh the exciting life i lead :P lol

[evergladesqueen.livejournal.com]

with a handful of people at a family members house, left right after the "HAPPY NEW YEAR"
shoutings and the toast.

*hugs*

[katamphigorical.livejournal.com]

Excellent music, excellent friends, excellent drink, and an excellent time.

I'm still paying for all that excellence. O.O

[dishapeaches.livejournal.com]

In a bar, with hats, balloons, tequila, beer, noisemakers, and kissing my Sunshine at the stroke of midnight - something I haven't done in 10 years.

[dishapeaches.livejournal.com]

Not meaning I haven't kissed him in 10 years (we've only been together 6 months), but that I haven't had anyone I loved like this enough to kiss them at midnight.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

I texted as many people as I could with "Happy New Year! Fuck 2007!"

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

Kissing Jeff.

[mishi-ragdoll.livejournal.com]

LMAO he thought something as wrong but i explained that i was just really happy! of course he couldnt understand me through all my tears and sobs and gasps lol

[heardthatnoise.livejournal.com]

Saw my dad, made pancakes and eggs, and watched cartoons with smaller. As soon as the ball dropped we headed off to bed. :)
