New Year’s Eve: Overrated
I have spent many an NYE doing nothing but driving around chasing a good time. I have a very bad sinking feeling that is what I am going to be doing tonight.
I just bought a new t-shirt that’s purple with sparkles for $20. I love a good post-Christms clearance sale. I am rocking two new hair ornaments that compliment the purple in that club kid/fab way, only $10 for the pair. I could wear them out tonight to a party or not bother and stay home with a half split of champagne and get a good night’s sleep. Either way, I have a bad feeling that tonight will not be super memorable, short of it being the first NYE with my boyfriend.
Agenda is to eat a late lunch soon, buy some groceries and cook dinner tonight while finalizing plans with our friends. We could be in Baltimore all night, DC at a gay bar just lounging, or chasing the groove at a few lame raves around town. Honestly, I look forward most to lunch and cooking a yummy dinner. Did I tell you guys yet that I am food-motivated? (Thankfully with good genes/metabolism that it doesn’t show how much food loves me back.)
I have a feeling that I am going to need to find an ATM and pull out $100 for the night. When it’s gone, it’s gone. But I hope there is some left for lunch money the rest of the week. It’s the best I can hope for for tonight. How lame is that?

I don’t think we’ll be doing anything…NYE was never big with my family. Plus we don’t go out much. Now I feel like I should do SOMETHING though…even if it’s…I don’t even know what we’d do. Maybe we have some microwave popcorn.
I’m not staying up to midnight, either, since there will be babies to test in the morning.
Micah really doesn’t do gay bars, but there was a fun one up by my conservative school…good place to go for a break.

We’re also not planning on doing anything…I don’t know how many silly things I’ve spent $100 on for NYE, so I figure I got away cheap! Now I need to make every $100 count, so nothing for me tonight either!

My goal is to do as little as possible tonight. Definitely somewhere indoors, possibly some movies and/or hot choc. I could use the break.

I think it’s going to be an exciting evening of watching the Twilight Zone marathon on the SciFi channel with my parents, reading, and wishing my friends were back in town from Christmas vacation.

If NYE is so mediocre, why don’t you just save your $100?
I just spent $30 on sparkling wine (it’s Italian) and I’ll drink it here with my man or we’ll take it to a party. In either case, it’s better than blowing a lot of money on a forgettable evening.

I took it so easy on NYE that I didn’t even get to the party I went to until 10:30pm. It was a good night - played a few games, finally got to try Singstar and of course had the inevitable countdown (and watching of fireworks). Happy New Year!
