Plans fell through, and I will be alone New Year’s Eve. Which totally bites, and not in a good way. What’s worse than not having anyone to kiss New Year’s Eve? Having someone to kiss, but them being totally un-kissable by way of being 3,000 miles away. Warning: temper tantrum about to ensue
IT’SNOTFAIR,IT’SNOTFAIR,IT’SNOTFAIR!!! I was a good girl all year, all I want is to be with the man I’m crazy about on New Year’s and be happy for a little while, GODDAMMIT!!! I fucking HATE New Year’s Eve this year.
Damn, VunderBob, that’s quite generous of you. I’m in the same boat, with the BF a couple of states away. Too bad you’re farther from me than he is!
I’ve never really been a NYE fan anyway - so I don’t really mind. But having spent many a NYE without someone in my life, it’s a minor irritant that when I HAVE someone, I can’t be with him.
But eh, in the scheme of things, I could be doing worse.
VunderBob, that was terribly altruistic on your part. Thank you. Unfortunately, you’re closer to him than you are to me. I’ll pass the offer along, though…
scout1222, this:
is what really gets me. If I didn’t have someone, I wouldn’t mind so much. It’s frustrating as all hell, it is.
Jaade, that Secret Santa present can be called back, y’know. :dubious:
You know what’s worse than that? Having someone to kiss on New Year’s Eve for the first time in your entire life, having them being totally unkissable by way of being 3,000 miles away, and knowing the reason you’re not going to be together on New Year’s Eve is because you made a mistake when figuring out your travel plans.
Yep, I’m an idiot. Note to SolGrundy: New Year’s Eve is on December 31st, not January 1st.
Tonight, I’m staying in for New Year’s for the first time since I was a child. I had some plans, but I realized I was falling into the same “you MUST have fun tonight” trap that I have for years. I don’t think I’ve had fun on most New Years. I hate going to bars when they’re this crowded. The parties usually feel forced. And then there’s the scarey drive home (for some reason, I’m always convinced that every car I see on New Years Eve is being driven by a drunken loon–probably not the case, but tell that to me at 2:00 am). When I’m out and I’m dating someone, I’ve always hated the “you must kiss NOW” feeling at midnight. Then when I’m not dating someone, I just feel left out.
Plus, this year kind of sucked. I suppose I could celebrate that the damn thing is over. But I’d rather just forget about most of it.
What’s worse than not having someone to kiss on New Year’s Eve?
Having someone to kiss but spending the stroke of midnight cleaning up dog puke. Yes, last year that was how I brought in this (sucky) year. My then boyfriend and I had a party. His dog managed to reach a bowl of M&M’s and devoured them all. Poor doggie was puking his heart out all over the bedroom by the time 12:00 rolled around. Then-boyfriend and I were cleaning it up while the party raged beneath us. Let me tell you, this dog was really sick. After cleaning it, we looked at each other and realized no one was getting a kiss till we had each had a shower!
This time last year I had just spent my first night at his place (3000 miles from here) and was chilling the champagne and working up to kissing in his kitchen at midnight. This year…we don’t even know when we’ll see each other again.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I have played computer games until at least midnight on New Year’s Eve pretty much ever since I got my Atari 2600 when I was 10 or 11. I know I am a geek, but I enjoy that more than going out to a party
