I have no plans. In fact, I keep forgetting tomorrow night is the end of the year. Hey, I’m having too much fun playing with my new toys! Oh, and cleaning up the apartment.
I never make plans, and I always sit at home. In recent years, I’ve even gone to bed before the year is out. However, I might actually make it to midnight this time.
So, anyone else?
I would actually like to. On past new years eves, I would always go out to dinner with a big group of friends, then go to a party aftwards. Last year, I cancelled and stayed home with the flu, and besides that, i actually enjoyed the quiet evening. This year I am supposed to go to a party but I really don’t feel like it much. I don’t know any polite ways of backing out though, seeing as I don’t really have an “excuse”. Anyone have some suggestions for etiquette(sp) in this area?
Sitting at home here. Will be playing with my new Xbox if it gets here tomorrow. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sittin’ on my ass cuz I have to work the next day. 
Oh well.

First, dantheman, I could swear I answered this question somewhere else on the SDMB, I just can’t recall where? However, my answer is…my ExBF and I spent Christmas eve together and I got the flu, he now has it and instead of wanting me to come take care of him, as he did me, he wants to suffer at home alone. ? So, I’m a little put off by this, even though I’m sympathetic since he got the flu from me. I will therefore be sitting at home alone pouting. JK. Sort of, sadly. Anyway, I’ll probably be on line (in here no doubt). I’m such a fun girl.
Next, as your etiquette question Snuggles…my two cents…if it works in your scenario, tell your friends that you are uncomfortable being on the road NYE and that you’d prefer to spend a quiet nite at home. If they give you s#*, tell them to f#* off and Happy New Year! 
And I also don’t recall Dan ever calling me a babe. Hmm.
Happy New Year all! :)~
(Or as they say on MTV…Happy YK4 yo!)
…okay I promise this is my last drink…BARTENDER LAST CALL PLEASE!..a double. :)~
Maybe you did answer it elsewhere, but I searched on “Years” and “year’s” - and you can’t search on “new” or “eve” - and skimmed the past couple days of MPSIMS.
(Happy YK4? Happy Year 4000? It should be Happy Y2K4.)
Sitting at home, today is NYE here, no cash and I don’t really know anyone here either
I am sitting on my butt at home. I might go to a friend’s minister’s house for a couple of hours of fesitivties (sodas and snacks) but I am not sure yet.
I will probably be on this board most of the night being depressed because of the no date thing. All of my friends (and date prospects) are elsewhere this New Years.
Okay, dantheman, as I stated previously…“I promise this is my last drink”. 
Does this mean we’re all going to be seeing each other here tomorrow nite? Unwritten, you’ll know us!
Staying at home. Too many drunks on the road for me. Just another night.
I actually vowed last year that instead of going somewhere and getting disappointed, I was staying at home and letting the disappointment occur there.
Maybe I’ll have people come over. Not sure.
I’m driving down to Pensacola to visit my sister and see their new house, but once I get there, I’ll be sitting on my ass.
It’s a five hour drive and I’ll be too tired to do much else. (Actually, I’ll even be sitting on my ass BEFORE I start sitting on my ass…)
Happy 2004, everyone. My sister is not online and I won’t be here tomorrow to say it.
My plans involve alcohol and hobbits.
Here’s the other thread if anyone is interested:

It’s in 9 hours here. The way I feel at the moment I suspect I’ll be asleep by then. I wanted to go to the movies tonight but since lunch I’ve been filled with boundless lethargy. If I wasn’t at work I’d be taking a nap now.
Yep another one from the fair shores of Oz, who’ll be just plain sittin’ on their ass… though, without any forward planning we managed to somehow score tonight and tomorrow without the kids here! So… blush I guess I won’t be doing too much sitting!
sitting at home alone too…at least my dog will have company.
For a goodly number of years now, I’ve stayed home on NYE, just me and the cats. And some gourmet take-out for supper, and a split of champagne, and chocolates for dessert, and a good book. Never was much of a party girl anyway, never felt safe on the roads that night, and hardly ever get a chance to kick back in my recliner and read for a few hours, so it’s a real treat.
When I was living in the North End of Boston, one NYE I went up on the roof of my apartment building to see if I could glimpse the fireworks over the harbor, and was treated to the sound of every ship and boat in Boston Harbor blowing their horns at midnight.
I’ve picked up a touch of the flu, and I hate New Year’s Eve, but I like champagne, so I’ll be sitting in front of the tube with a glass of bubbly and my new Firefly DVDs playing.
Yee-haw.
