Wow! :D

I love the fun of Lockerbie Gala, it's just the idiots that turn it into an all day drinking session that I Hate

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I hate it when idiots do that...

I like the Super Bowl.  I especially liked this year's, though.  The Giants were my Dad's favorite team and to see them take it, against all odds, was awesome!

:D

Me too... I do the whole thing, with the staying up until 4 am, every year :D

And y'know... Having those memories, and seeing them win, must have added to the magic :D

Either my fargin' birthday or groundhog's day. lol :) I can't remember a time when Phil predicted a quick summer. :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL! :D

Lima Bean Feast Day. I really hate that day! Oh and Rutabaga Day too, now that I think about it:)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

Smaller's birthday, the Wood Street Fair, Chowder Fest - love all those days.

Valentine's Day - not so much. Let's commercialize our love, baby!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm Chowder! :D

Oktoberfest here is huge. You get beer for about 1 Peso... Not that I like beer, but that's cool.

There are also festivals ("fiestas" we call them) here all the time. My favorite is the Ati-Atihan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ati-Atihan_Festival) in my Mom's province of Aklan. It's cool and everyone participates.

Those fiestas sound like fun :D

[alainn-mactire.livejournal.com]

Bonfire night. I hate it.

All that racket and banging to celebrate a failure. I've never understood it. Don't particularly like my birthday either.

Love Shrove Tuesday (pancake day) and Christmas (hate the commercialisation of Christmas, like the old fashioned mulled wine n carols bits).

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I love Shrove Tuesday too! :D

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

Favorite: Hallowe'en (what? It's not an *actual* holiday except for people like me, All Saints Day the next day is! :D)

Hated: Valentine's Day (with or without a BF)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Hallowe'en is always fun :D

[seegwa.livejournal.com]

It's also about the only time I wish I had little kids around - when they're adorably dressed as something else. ;)

[gillian16.livejournal.com]

Super Bowl baby!!!!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Wooot! :D

Both, and that would be...

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Renaissance Festival.

Everything has its vice and virtue. It's up to us do decide which is which and how we wish to respond.

Re: Both, and that would be...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Well said! :D

[empatia.livejournal.com]

THE RACES(car)!! All of them really but especially the Northern Thunder races! Fast cars, cold beer, and great music...what else could a girl want :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Fast cars, girls, music... My kinda day!

I love love love MUGWUMP, which is held every year a few miles away from me throughout the last weekend in July. It's been going on since 1969 and was the 'Woodstock' party at home for people that couldn't go to the real Woodstock in NY. People go a day or two early and set up a tent. There's bands, beer trucks, a pig roast, hundreds of drunk/high/wasted people, volleyball, bikers, motorcycles, etc. My friends and I start doing a countdown sometime in February or March (only 5 months til MUGWUMP!). I've gone every year for about 8 years now. I think there's usually around 600-900 people that attend every year. If you'd like to see pix and what I wrote about it from 2007's event, just click 'Mugwump' in my tags. I think there's 2 or 3 entries. You'll also get to see Kayla's ginormous bewbies. ( o )( o )

And 'mah grrl' Heather.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I'll have to check it out! :D

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

I really look forward to the Scottish festival. Here, it is held mid-May every year. This year, my clan chieftain asked me to help out at our clan's booth! I'm so excited!!!

I also love to celebrate my birthday. :)

I used to look forward to Midsummer every year because it marked the beginning of camping season. But I have only camped once since I moved to NM. I hope to change that in another couple years when my life has settled down again.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Sweet! :D

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

There are actually a lot of annual traditions I look forward to. Those were just the first ones that popped into my head. :D

I love/hate most sports finals. Some more than others, hockey & footie are good sports to watch and the lead up to the big games are usually pretty entertaining.

Football (American or Canadian) simply doesn't do it for me. If you're going to wrestle each other to the ground you shouldn't bother with all the padding. So it has to fall into the hate category.

Events I truly love: any celebration in which people get together & have a good time.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

My entire life goes on pause every Wimbledon... :D

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Black Friday. What the fuck is wrong with people?!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

SHOPPING!

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. Don't people realize how idiotic that makes them? People get trampled for two dollars off a still over-priced shirt. My gods, have we become gerbils?!
Idiots.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

We've been gerbils ever since the invention of the stairmaster...

[childeofloki.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Denis Leary.
"What's next, the chair-master? I sit down, I get up, I sit down, I get up. The door-master! I open the door, I close the door, I open the doo.. What the fuck?"

*grins*

I still hate Black Friday.

[katamphigorical.livejournal.com]

That pivotal moment during one of the "spring" months (march, april, may) wherein the temperatures get steadily warmer, the days get longer, and the snow finally gurgles its farewell speech before liquefying and flooding the region under 10 inches of water.

That's one event i love and look forward to every year.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That's got to be wonderful to see :D

[eternalxwhisper.livejournal.com]

I hate bonfire night. People can be quite cruel with fireworks.

I love pancake day! And Halloween! xD

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I love pancake day!
