I am gonna get hammered, and have a great time... and then the next day, when I am hung over, I will watch the extended editions of the LOTR movies, and go to Return of the King later that night. BTW, it is only 8 days until the Extended Editon of Two Towers is released... Hells Yeah...

I'll be heading to the big and bad NY.

Watching all my high school friends make out with their high school boyfriends - ETCH!!! :mad:

Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Eating a good meal before getting smashed defeats the purpose of getting smashed. You have to drink more TO get smashed. Why not just eat afterwards?

Because we are not in college anymore, we don't need to party like rock stars, tho we do sometimes. :) And because we enjoy good meals and the wine accompanying it.

In short, its not a drink till you pass out party. Its a festive dinner party with a lot of alcohol accompanying the food. Each couple is responsible for a different course of the meal.

Oh believe me......I'm all about enjoying good wine and good food....if you only knew how I am about that you'd think I'm a fat kid deep down. I appreciate good food and good wine, especially good cheese and seafood with wine. Some of the people on GC know how much of a wine fanatic I am. In any case, I get the picture. I'm just used to getting crazy for NYE. I've calmed down tons from what I was like over a year ago. I don't really drink liqour that much anymore unless I'm going out to a club. I drink wine more than anything if I'm going to drink outside of a club (but I wont drink it in a bar, people think you're gay unless you're at a wine/cigar bar.)

:) I just don't like being out and about on NYE. I'd rather have a really fun, smallish party with good friends. Casual, where anything goes and we're all up until sunrise being silly. THAT seems like so much more fun to me at this stage of my life than being out at some huge party/club/rave with a bunch of people I don't know.

:)Now, just have to come up with the menu for that night!

Haven't decided. I'll probably either go to downtown Orlando or South Beach (if I have the money). This year should be fun. NYE 2001, I wasn't 21 and Mr. Angel was so we ended up at the Kappa Sig house instead of partying it up downtown. It was fun but not as much fun as sipping champagne in some downtown building. :) Last year, I was on a cruise with my family. So, this year, we plan on making up for the NYEs that we couldn't go out and have a good time!

Anything goes till the sunrises? Hahaha!;) Right on girlie, I like those smallish parties too. I started having those about 3 yrs ago. There's maybe 4-7 couples total? I guess I like going out to those huge things on NYE because usually whevever I'm going either I know a lot of people there, or the girl I'm with knows a lot of people there. But I do know what you're saying about the smallish parties at the house. I really like going and doing that within our circle of friends rather than going to crazy clubs and getting hammered as though I was 18/19 yrs old again. In my view all that really is is just one of my after parties from back in the day, only now they start at 11pm instead of 3am or 4am. We just skip going out to the club/party/rave. I am, however, not on your level yet. I still like getting out of the house and going out to some degree. I still love DJing. I just don't like getting FUBAR out in public anymore.

That sounds fun! I love good food and more good wine to go with it among pals :)
