Most probably before 6 pm.——after that I’ll be ringing in the New Year with my family and doing family things to celebrate, like popping crackers, wearing party favor hats, and sipping champagne (the kids will sip apple cider!).
I will be sober since I can no longer drink more than 2 tablespoons of alcohol without ill effect. I’ll be the driver. But to participate vicariously, I’ll want to know what you’re drinking.
I’ll be wearing my Tebow Jersey with my tit hanging out and a Santa hat on my head. (if anyone is following the same threads as I am, you’ll understand.) =)
Non drinker here but we have to go to a party. I don’t want to go, there is a basketball game in town and I would much rather go to that, but I can’t. So I will probably stop in when we get home from the party, unless I am too sleepy. Of course, it is new year’s day morning here when it is new year’s eve for most of you all.
I don’t have any plans, so it’s that, watching movies or getting trophies on Trine 2. If I don’t get them all before the year rings in. Which I prolly will. Lol. Man I’m sure to put on some pounds in this vacation, all I’ve been doing is sleeping and sitting around lol. I knew I was meant to be a god.
But yeah, chances are, I’ll be on here. Things might change, someone might invite me somewhere, but otherwise, ain’t go no plans.
I’m going to cook a pot roast and duck with orange sauce and probably, leg of lamb as well. Bought some booze already and will buy more tonight. But what I really want to do when the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s is bitch slap Kim Kardashian twelve times! Lol.
I’ll probably drop in, I have no plans. I live in the hills and unless I go to a certain event or private party where I spend the night or get a hotel, I don’t go out on New Years.
I’m not going out so I’ll almost certainly be doing something online. For the few minutes before and after midnight I’ll be watching the new years entertainment and fireworks on TV.
The big “city” I use that term lightly near us has a all-night party on Main Street. It’s sorta like Times Square, only a heck of alot smaller. So that’s where I’ll be. @rebbel Tell us what 2012 looks like when you get there, okay?
@TheIntern55 I would, but as @rooeytoo correctly stated, I am merely a follower in arrivals-in-New Year.
So the Aussies and Kiwis and Samoans must come forward to tell us all!
Well, as far as Fluther is concerned, @rooeytoo gets it the earliest. We’ll depend on him to tell us whether or not it’s safe to ring in the new year. Because we don’t want to be celebrating the begginning of a terrible year, now do we?
I will probably drop in, but I don’t know how long I’ll be on. I have to work until 7pm that night, which means I won’t be home until 8pm (if I’m lucky). We are planning to have a family game night while watching the ball fall on tv. Then I have to get some sleep so I can get up and go back to work in the morning (my alarm goes off at 5am).
There is a Happy New Year party in the chat room @cprevite. If you can even just log in and say hi there and you will then be part of the all world round chat Happy New Year dialogue.
I will drop in. Bellatrix Good idea to set up the chat room! mazingerz88 I am making duck too. I think I will make it with 5 Spice mixture. Wow, but that is an ambitious menu! How many people are you having over anyways??!!
I love your new avatar. It’s funny but I recently had a really cool dream with 2 white owls in it.
Maybe. I will spending tonight the same way I have for the last 13 years, with my boys. Since they are older and don’t necessarily like me hanging around all the time, I may hope on for a bit.
@Earthgirl My duck’s in the oven and the pot roast’s in the er, pot. No leg of lamb. I’m going to have around 8 people. But hey, I want that 5 spice mixture next time! Lol.
mazingerz88 Here it is 11 minutes after midnight and I am fluthering My duck is marinating. I wasn’t able to get Szechuan peppercorns (bad planning!) so I substituted paprika. My husband doesn’t like things hot anyways so hopefully it will turn out ok. Man what a project! I starrted too late to have it for tonight. I forgot that you are supposed to marinate. I have made it once before. First you marinate, then you steam, then you air dry with a fan for 2 hours, then you fry it. Yes! Fry it, you read that right. The five spice mixture is actually the easy part. You can buy that premixed at the store. It’s a Chinese blend of spices.Hope you had a Happy New Year’s Eve!
Man, it’s 4:50 am and I just finished washing the dishes while totally drunk. All I can say is booze rocks! Happy New Year, jellies!
@Earthgirl My pot roast was a bust. I wanted it bloody but I followed instructions and it ended up overcooked, imo. Boy, that’s a lot of work with that duck of yours! : )
Happy New Year, everyone! I did stop in late last night before I went to bed, but I didn’t leave a comment. I was playing Portal 2 until 2 AM and was cat tired!
I had a couple of beers, but I wasn’t what you would call shit-faced on New Year’s eve :-p
