ShiniLuv Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Well, the topic title says it all, but I'll repeat it anyway. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope it's a good one for all. Quote
Guest Knorg Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Lot of people already celebrating the change to 2007 out Australasia way I guess. Another eight hours for the UK to change years, which will take Scotland, Wales and most of England to 2007 while Cumbria is reaching 1936. Sigh... c'mon year, change! I'd be out partying like every other year since I was 17 (before which, party at home!) if I hadn't something unfortunate to my foot a week ago. Yay painkillers. Quote
Guest echtrae Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Happy New Year everyone. Nik, I've always believed that the world responds to how you view it. Quote
Nanaea Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah, what ^ said. Seriously, Happy New Year everyone. May 2007 be (even) better than 2006!! Quote
Guest echtrae Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Nik, that is good to hear. Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Well, twelve hours and counting here in the wild west. I haven't even started to get ready to go out yet! Anyway, Happy New Year!! Quote
Oishiichan Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Yes indeed happy New Years! Quote
Guest Big Samurai Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 '06 was not a good year for most of the people I know, so here's to a 2007 that's full of hope and good fortune. Happy New Year, AFF! Quote
WotanAnubis Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 2006 was a pretty good year for me. I was officially declared insane, after all. Anyways... HAPPY 2007 Quote
EveKnight75 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Posted January 1, 2007 Well, Christmas sucked for me. Right after coming home from my last exam on the 22nd, my mom told me that Grandpa had died that morning. Well, he isn't my grandfather by blood. He's my cousin's grandfather, but he was the only one of his generation living in New York, in the U.S. for that matter. He was "Grandpa" to all of us there. To his own grandkids, to his grandchildren's cousins, and their cousins, to all of us living in North America, especially anyone who was in NYC or nearby (like my cousins on the other side of the family living in NJ). I thought I would be able to celebrate the end of exams, but the death was a huge blow to me. The worst part is, we couldn't even go to New York this winter vacation (even though we do most of the time) because of celebrations we were obligated to host here. So we missed the funeral. I did watch two of my favorite New Year's celebrations: the dropping of the ball in Times Square and the drag festival in Key West, Florida with the dropping of the red high heel with a drag queen in it. Still, I just wasn't as into it this year because I'm still mourning. Does that mean I have a negative outlook for 2007? Of course not! I mean, the year went off to a bad start, what with the death and the first real snow in Toronto coming after Christmas, and being forced to clean up a messy apartment (I hate cleaning!) to host three different parties (two down, one to go). But once that's all out of the way, I'm sure I'll have a relatively good year. Happy New Year! Quote
Guest Adara Posted January 1, 2007 Report Posted January 1, 2007 Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this year proves fruitful for us all and that any MIA muses get their ass on track and go back to their perspective writers. Quote
StoryJunkie Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 better late than never. got home safe and sound, SO is singing innane tunes about being happy to be home again in a Bing Crosby kind of way (what a doofus!) and I'm numb from head to toe. Accomplishment #1: we named the beast that we drove. I called it the "Big Shiny" since low beams were so bright, all the BC drivers we met on the road flashed us as they passed (meanies). All the Alberta drivers did nothing, since the Yellowhead is divided, but even so, we were flashed twice, and the Manitoba drivers flashed politely from a distance. (we went through Saskatchewan during the day). We considered muddying up the lenses. es. es. ? ne way, started off the holiday sick, partied when we had to, shopped till we dropped, had an incredible choral experience at my sister-in-law's, drank Belgian beer, caught a cold from the other in-laws (on the way back) and appreciated God, the weather, and BC. Happy New Year to all who read this, and I resolve to forgive everyone this year. (New Year's Eve was spent with Grissom, thank you very much!) Quote
