New Year's Eve

What to do.. What to do?

New Year's Eve is one of those weird holidays people have to cope with. They suck when you're single because there's that whole "kissing someone on New Year's Eve" thing to contend with. They suck for me because I really don't like crowds or people overly much. Then of course there's the "What did you do for New Year's?" question. If you're hypothetically young and hip, you're at a party or a bar and having a wild old time. Is it a sign of old age then, when you don't want to do that anymore? I've been pondering what to do this year and come up with a few options, none of which please me.

A - Do what I did 2 years ago. Go out with V to the gay bars and hang out with gay boys. Several downsides - a - Gay boys... hello they don't help me. :) b - V. His behavior while drinking lately has on more than one occasion made me angry with him. I don't really want to deal with that bullshit.

B - Volunteer. There is an art museum that is having a huge bash and they need volunteers. If you work for them for 2 hours, you get into the gig for free. I like Harvey Danger, who is playing. The downside - a - I won't know anyone and that will make me uncomfortable. b - It will probably be crowded.

C - Stay at home and watch videos (I might even break my Pay Per View cherry so to speak and order them on PPV as opposed to Blockbuster). The only real downside to this one is it is a depressing way to spend New Year's Eve given the hype that it should live up to.

What I would really rather do... If I had unlimited resources, I would love to be at either Disneyland or Disney World and just enjoying the parks all night. Yeah it would be crowded and all that but still... It is the happiest place on earth! :) Otherwise, I wouldn't mind a small party where people I know and like are all together playing board games, maybe having a few drinks and eating good food. Just something low key. Unfortunately, I don't know enough people here to do this kind of thing, or more specifically enough people here who would want to do this sort of thing. Of course... there's always a booty call in Fairbanks. ;) Bwahahaha! Or not. :) Next year, when I have my boss's income, I'll go someplace and visit people like Michelle or Katie Girl, or even, my sister.

I vote for C because that sounds remarkably like something I will be doing. I like the small party idea, so if I get invited to one, I may go. I liked the one I had last year, but I don't want to do it again.

Last New Year's I was at a casino. Alone. By choice. Well, I didn't really have any other options. Okay, so I did have a party invite, but yuck...I wouldn't have really known anyone, and the thought of being 'on' was not making me smile.

So I lost money instead. Hey, it worked.
