After all, there’s no Y2K to keep people inside. I think it should be the best ever. ---

Y’know, I _want_ to, but unfortunately this year I gotta stay home, as we gotta verify that Mrs. O’s nose is Y2K compatible. Well, actually she’s getting her septum un-deviated on Dec 27th and I gotta take the week off to make sure she doesn’t bleed to death out her nostrils. It’ll be a nice relaxing Christmas break, to be sure, but the enforced house arrest is gonna be a stinky. ---

_This_ New Years’ calls for even harder partying than the last. After all, _this_ new year will be the _real_ start of the 21st century and 3rd millennium, not merely the year that the year-odometer turned over. ---

Considering that last year I was 3 weeks away from delivering my last baby and was confined to bed rest, I guess anything will be an improvement this year. ---

If I attempted to party harder than last new years I most likely would not survive. I think I’ll stick to partying almost as hard. ---

Can’t hardly party any _less_ hard. We’d just flown back from a funeral on the afternoon of 12/31/99, and barely stayed up until midnight. My main entertainment last New Year’s Eve was The Great Board War, where the folks from the Left Behind MB showed up in an orgy of assault proselytizing. (Fortunately, relations have improved since then. :)) I may actually go to a party this year! ---

I doubt it. We’re going to be driving back from Montana on Dec. 31. If we’re lucky we might get back in time to make it to a party, but I have a feeling people probably won’t even think to ask us since we’ll be gone the week before. ---

I plan on partying even harder - hell, it’s the beginning of a new millenium!!! ---

I think I can beat the single can of four month Heineken I had last New Year’s Eve. It’ll be tough, though. ---

That should, of course, be “four month old Heineken”. ---

Last year I was of the poor techie bastards on call to fix (or at least monitor) the fall of Western Civilization. This year I’m spending a drunken two weeks with some friends in France. ---

Last year – in good ol’ Reston, VA with my parents and my grandmom. This year – York, or possibly Manchester, or possibly elsewhere in the UK, with my guy and probably a bunch of other drunk Brits Yeah. I think this year’ll be more fun. ---

Last year I was stuck in Massachusetts with no god friends and a sick family. At midnight, I was online talking to my friend from Florida. It sucked. This year, I’m actually going to Florida!!! I’ll be kicking in the new year with most of my best friends, and it’ll be the first time i’ve seen them this year, only the 3rd time in the past 2 or 3 years. I’m going through withdrawl…I need them. 🙂 Yeah, New Year’s is gonna kick ass. ---

Well, let’s see…last year, I worked. And this year…how about that…I’m working AGAIN. Well, I have no one special to kiss anyway, so who the hell cares. 😕 Michi ---

Last year I spent New Years alone. This year? Probably the same. Only nice thing will be going to Niagara Falls with some people from church on December 27-30. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-you-party-as-hard-this-new-years/44125.md?page=2)
