New Year's Eve!!!

Tame · Dec 30, 2001

I'm jacked up for some partying!!! Buck, buck!!! 
I've got the day off, so I'll start some light drinking around 2-3:00. Gotta pace myself (otherwise I would start sooner)... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/pimp.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":tame:"> 
Some friends of ours are having a slumber party for all the older kids - relatives have Baby Tame for the night. 
I've got a bottle of Remy Martin chilling.... 
Martinis for all (extra dry for me, apple for the women folk)... 
Tequila shooters...(hell yeah!) 
Party! Party! Party! 
(No party for you! No party for you!) 
Party! Party! Party! 
And yes, I was drinking heavily this evening, so please ignore my ramblings. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/pimp.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":tame:">

Party for us too, at my friend's house on the cliffs overlooking the sea, she has a hot tub in her garden...

We ( my significant other, myself and two mutual friends) are having a vegan potluck and then going dancing. I think we are renting a hotel room rather then trying to drive back, plus then no one has to stay sober.

GhostUser · Dec 30, 2001

going to play with my grindcore band and a bunch of other bands at my drummers party at his giant warehouse where he lives, then i'm going to spin drum n bass with a bunch of other dj's all night. sipping on la minita coffee all the while. life is good. grind, dnb, and la minita. and my girlfriend, best friend (drummer) and about 100 other people or so. woop woop.

Unless something more enticing presents itself I'll be showing up to work at midnight to make the boku bucks.

kerouac · Dec 30, 2001

it looks like i'm going to stay home with my better half (...did I just say that?) and eat out of the new vegan cookbook I got for holiday. 
good times. 
i'll also be online if anyone is interested <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/wink3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

wellllll we had a few different plans already not work out so it seems we'll be doing what we normally do on weekends. and that is, us, and four of our friends who live in this apartment building meet up at someone's apartment and booze all night. it's horribly boring for me but the guys enjoy it and i don't have to worry about anyone driving home drunk. passing out in the hallway is another matter altogether. 
we may even get another couple who are good friends to come, they live across town and are really antisocial and never go out when we invite them. but being a special occassion maybe we'll get lucky and they'll make an appearance and we can finally exchange xmas presents <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

Vegankat · Dec 31, 2001

Well....its my 17th birthday tomorrow, so I've had to live up to the party-animal expectations...I'm having a vegan lunch with my family and then I'm spending the rest of the day with Austin, my boyfriend, and we will get drunk off our asses and make sweet love until the New Year comes in (or we pass out...).

LadyFaile · Dec 31, 2001

hmm possibly too much info there kat <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/wink3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

GhostUser · Jan 1, 2002

*sigh*

Where did this idea come from that the new year starts on Jan 1? How was that decided? Is the decision to ascribe the start of the year to Jan 1 based on a natural phenomena that we can use to confirm this belief? 
If we are simply agreeing to go along with an ascription of the new year to this date, rather than subscribing to the belief that there is a particular phenomenum that observation and reasonprovides us with, to use in articulating a description of the correct date -- then the question becomes whose ascription do we go by? Who has the authority to decide? 
Isn't it time we scrutinized the idea of the year starting on Jan 1 more thoroughly? 
When do we usually consider something to be "new"? What is are our usual criteria for the beginning of something?

Walter · Jan 1, 2002

Soilman, I always wondered why on earth New Years doesn't coincide with Christmas - What could possibly be the reason for that? We are in the year 2002 after he was born!! So, why wait another week to start a year?

GhostUser · Jan 1, 2002

it starts on jan 1 because some important-at-the-time and now forgotten dead guy thought it should start on jan 1..

no. i think you're trying to intellectualize the enjoyment out of a stupid holiday. what is it to you if we celebrate on january 1st or on march 7th or september 23rd? it's just a day, if you don't feel like celebrating, don't. simple as that. i think the majority of the people on earth celebrating it is all the "authority" you need really. it works, why worry about changing it. would it improve anybodys lives?

GhostUser · Jan 1, 2002

I think SM just enjoys a bit of scientific scrutiny. Just for the fun of it maybe. Am I the only one with a hangover? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

Tame · Jan 1, 2002

I don't know if I feel like poo because of a hangover or my oncoming cold. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="

Crawled into a bottle of Remy Martin last night...started doing shots of Jaegermeister...thought shots of Alabama Slammas would be a good idea...oops... 
Mrs. Tame thought this would be a great morning to let Baby Tame play with his noisy new toys. *%#@!

I think aes is trying to psycho-anal-eyes the enjoyment out of a holiday intellectualization. 
If you don't feel like analyzing the reasons for choosing Jan 1 as the first day of the new year, aes -- don't.

if you don't feel like celebrating, don't.

Nobody said I don't feel like celebrating on the evening of December 31. But I prefer to celebrate Elvis Presley's birthday on that evening, rather than the new year. Even though it isn't Elvis Presley's birthday, as far as I know.

Vegankat · Jan 1, 2002

It is *cough* my birthday...reason enough to celebrate, ne?
