Happy New Year 2007

An early Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you all have fun plans; whether it’s staying home and relaxing or going out and partying. This year we plan to celebrate NYE Costa Rican-style with some friends. Should be interesting. Apparently salsa dancing is involved. Don’t worry; I’m bringing the camera. I found a recipe for champagne cupcakes, and could I be more excited about making them? Anyway, thanks again for another great year here at freakgirl.com.
If you have any unique NYE traditions, talk about them in the comments, won’t you?

i like the idea of writing down all the things you regret/made you sad/etc. on a piece of paper and then throwing it into a fire, symbolizing a good start for the New Year. Haven’t done it in a long time but plan on bringing it back when we one day (hopefully) buy a house with a fireplace, or maybe a fire pit in the backyard or something. I think would be a nice tradition.

That’s a really neat idea. Although I’d write everything down earlier, as not to get depressed. :)

I’m getting drunk.

ditto to maggie, to the power of drunk

Crunken!

Whiskey bent. Hell bound.

My real New Years tradition…sadly…is to exclaim “one month till my birthday” at around 12:01 pm. The older I get, the less I do this however… not that I’m old.. just older. :)

I have no New Year’s tradition, per se (we’re among friends so allow my one “per se”, k?), but the theme this year is Drunken Casino Debauchery. DCD, if you will. When you spotted me the “per se”, I figured you were good for one “if you will”. No?
I voted for the touring production of “Beauty and the Beast” but was over-ridden. Repeatedly.

Apropos of nothing, save geekiness, I was at a comic store today and picked up the Serenity prequel graphic novel. Yay! Even better, I bought my sister/friend, as a belated Hanukkah present, the Spike puppet! He’s all fuzzy and cute with his little black trench. She LOVED it.

I plan to make out. Not sure with who yet, though. Slutty!

slutty is the new dirty. :D

Megan, thank you for taking on my New Year’s Eve tradition, since now that I’m married the making out is frowned upon. Enjoy. You deserve it. Make sure you pick a good one.
Michael, enjoy the debauchery. Sounds fun. Apparently I will be learning how to dance.

We are doing butt nothing. No babysitter + no grandparents = no fun. Oh, well, that’s why Satan created Blockbuster Video.

I am in Phoenix with my mom visiting my sisters–we are still debating what to do tomorrow night. The most popular idea has us hitting the greyhound track for their special NYE races and buffet.
BTW, my blog has pictures and a review of the A Christmas Story House. Freakgirl, if you do make it out here while I am still here, I will totally take you to Sokolowski’s University Inn for pierogies.

SWEET!

Oh, hey hi. Happy new year! I’m going to a comedy show New Year’s Eve (Dana Gould, Patton Oswalt, and Greg Fitzsimmons.) And beforehand I think we’re going to partake in an IHOP dinner, whilst wearing our fanciest duds.
On New Year’s Day I always eat blackeyed peas, for luck. Does anyone else outside of the south do that?

Senora Freakgirl, thank you for another year of entertainment. I will be enjoying the company of Mr. J. Walker, Mr. Jameson, and Mr. Daniels on NYE. Fun is pretty much guaranteed.

I had some sweaty dirty monkey sex, a glamouroso cocktail party and a killer hangover, in that order. a) I LOVE my life b) that makes for a great 24 hours, maybe minus the hangover.

Andrew – NICE. What a great way to ring in the new year.
I have quite a hangover, myself.
