RE: New Year's Eve poll and question

Lilykind · Hermes

Last year, it was me and my BF sans the television. We drank orangina (he doesn't drink), kissed at midnight and that was the end of it.

This year, we haven't even begun to think of it.

I love NYE, but my boyfriend is really making it a hassle. He does this every year. I'm so upset because last year he promised me that we would do something fun (dancing, club, dress up kind of thing). And now he's backing out of it! GRRRRR...

You know how I spent my last NYE? At a friend's house with playing video games. I was so upset, I just went to sleep on his couch. My bf wakes me up at midnight and tells me it's New Years, jerk. I specifically told him on the way home last year and I do not want to repeat our cycle of sitting at someone's house. And what are we doing this year? We're going to someone's house!!!!!!!

Yesterday he tell me that he would be happy just sitting at home and drinking wine. That this is not a different day. I was like, WTF? Are you 95 years old? Of course, this is a different day. You're celebrating a year that has passed and you're thankful that you're here for another year. To see another year!

OK, now I'm just venting...

growing up, my parents usually went out to a party and I stayed home and watched "Heathers" on Comedy Central. So it was never a big deal in my family. As I got older, I did different things every year, usually involving drinking way too much alcohol. Paul (the FI) and I are not big on going balls out on NYE, but at the same time I think we both want to commemorate it somehow, but our friends just won't cooperate. One year we had the best time with 3 other people sitting in Paul's basement drinking and playing Balderdash, but with only a dictionary and some index cards after a casual dinner out. It was a great time. Last year we went to a bar. Got way too drunk and barely saw P the whole night. This year a friend of ours is having a big blowout party at a Capitol Hill bar at $65/person - but with food & all you can drink til 3, free champaign, blah blah blah. But most of my girlfriends weren't invited, so that kind of sucks. I will get to dress up, which is the only thing I love about New Years, but I am nervous that we won't have a very good time. It's too much hassle, and we will be surrounded by idiot hill staffers.

Fireball - If your boyfriend wants to hang out and play vids, I think you should leave him at home. Get a few girlfriends together and go out. Dress up, having a nice dinner, go dancing - whatever it is you want to do. Yeah, it will be a bummer that you might not be able to kiss bf at midnight, but it sounds like you *really* want to go out.

I wuold, but I really don't want to spend the evening without him. I have this thing, I don't know. Like a supersticion or something. I know, I'm retarded.

And I don't want to make a choice between my friends and my boyfriend.
