Raise Your Hand If You're Staying In Tonight

[THUNDER HANDS]

All my friends have deserted me to the four corners of the globe. :(

So I'll be home, ringing in the new year from my house for the first time since the 90's.

Who's gonna be with me? Is DU gonna be a ghost town tonight or is this place gonna be rockin' ?

[nini]

1. I'll be here.... I gave up the wild parties years ago.

are you gonna post more questions for us? :-)

[RebelOne]

50. I'm not going anywhere.

Too many crazy drunks on the road. Plus, I always fall asleep before midnight anyhow.

[soleft]

2. you can come to my party Magic Rat

[CatWoman]

3. *GASP*

You have friends???? }(

They probably left because you wanted them to answer 10 random questions :D

[wysimdnwyg]

35. Nah, it was the sex polls that drove them away

<>

[Fleshdancer]

4. I'll be here

I'm sick so no crazy wild night for me. x(

[UrbScotty]

15. Get well soon, Goloria! (nt)

[Bertha Venation]

5. yep -- we'll be home

:hi: Just hoping no stray bullets come through the ceiling.

[nostamj]

6. i haven't gone out for NYE in years

and tonight will be no different...

[ewagner]

52. Same here

no Amateur Night for me!

[Turbineguy]

7. I'm optimistic about 2004

and I have a chilled bottle of Clicquot

[Lisa0825]

8. I'll be here! I'll probably be drunk by the end of the night, so

I apologize in advance if I offend anyone :party: + :beer: = :silly:

[DarkPhenyx]

9. We're staying in at my house, but having friends over.

It's the usual deal with us. Somehow hanging out with drunks, and then trying to drive home on the same roads they are, has lost it's appeal.

[UrbScotty]

10. <Raises hand>

I'm just going to turn Dick on and watch the ball drop!

}(

[patdem]

54. Yes, Dick's ball...have watched for about 10 years now

you would think one would be tired of watching Dick's ball fall, but what else is there to do? :hi:

[mandyky]

11. Let's rock the HOUSE (DU that is)!!

I rarely go out for New Years. I would not go out tonight on a bet or dare. I am hoping I win that Powerball jackpot!! LOL

[mvd]

12. Yep

Just a nice night with the family.

[Holly]

13. I'll be home

you know some people dislike Christmas...with me it's New Years eve.
Decided to enjoy myself tonight, I'll stay home and play with my new puppy.

[frogfromthenorth2]

14. After finishing DUCTAPING my windows (you know..terrorists..) maybe

I'll come and hang around...

[UrbScotty]

18. Which reminds me - I have to duct tape my house, too!

By the way, Welcome to the Democratic Underground!

Bienvenue au souterrain démocratique !

[frogfromthenorth2]

19. Man I love that translation : SOUTERRAIN DÉMOCRATIQUE...lol

[Holly]

21. Ah, great idea

I'll duct tape mine too....just in case of.... terrorists.. and it will keep out the drafts. Kinda cold and windy here today.

[frogfromthenorth2]

22. And to keep myself warm I will burn BOOKS but first

I will burn all my almanacs since they are the most evil.... OH...what a joyous night ahead...

[ET Awful]

16. I'll be home. . . .

And I'll most likely be asleep long before midnight.

I'm exhausted as it is, and the whole celebratory thing just isn't appealing to me tonight.

[HereSince1628]

17. I'll be here if here

[populistmom]

20. Hand raised

We thought about actually trying to go somewhere this year, but my 2 year old still doesn't like to go to bed without mommy around, so sometimes the fun just isn't worth the hassle.

[Crowdance]

23. Me and Mr. Crowdance! We're chaperones

to a group of 16 year-olds. The ultimate sacrifice....pass me the earplugs, please.

[kaiden]

24. Making dry ice bombs . . .

Exploding them off the deck. Maybe a few almanacs to strew around.

[Norbert]

25. The Twilight Zone Marathon is on SciFi

Why would anyone want to go out? :shrug:

Besides I have 18 cans of brew in the fridge.

[demnan]

26. I'll be around

I will spend the evening quietly. So I will probably check in sometime tonight. But a friend will join me for dinner.

[OneBlueSky]

27. I never go out on New Year's Eve . . .

just never appealed to me, and the holiday itself has never been a big deal in my book . . . I'm quite content to sit at home and watch a movie . . . or maybe the Iron Chef marathon . . . or catch a buzz and listen to some good tunes . . . may watch the ball drop, just because the phrase always struck me as funny . . . :)

whether you're staying in or going out, have a safe evening and a healthy and happy New Year! . . .

[DianeK]

28. i will be in

my elderly parents with with us in an in-law apartment we have built for them so i will be preparing us all a meal consisting of rib eye roast with all the trimmings and a nice bottle of merlot to go with it. i will probably stay up til midnight but i am sure i will be the only one...most likely my husband will watch a movie after dinner then go straight to sleep before the new year arrives....i may drop by DU but i do wish you all a bright and hopeful new year..this is the year we get our country back so lots to celebrate and be thankful for

[cmf]

29. I'm probably not going out NYE

I prefer house parties to going out on the town, anyway. There's more snow predicted tonight, so I'd rather stay out of the way of drunk Seattle drivers who don't know how to drive in snow even while sober.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

30. we'll be home reading our new Almanacs

[frogfromthenorth2]

31. Traitor!!!

:bounce:

[underpants]

32. We are

I was going to pick up a DVD player from UPS but they are closed today. :mad:

We will watch some movies and.........

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. Staying in by choice.

Hand firmly raised in the air.

[RUexperienced]

34. Raise my hand?

How am I supposed to type?

[THUNDER HANDS]

36. I'm glad I won't be alone

Because I'm thinking of pulling out an old favorite - maybe a 2003: A Year In Review (as told through emoticons).

:D

[Amaya]

37. I'll be home tonight

I'm gettin' over a cold so I'm not going anywhere.
See ya here tonight... I'll be sniff sniffin' the night away :hi:

[aQuArius]

38. I'll be home alone (right here at my computer)

So if any of you single fellas wanna come over....... LOL :party:

[jonnyblitz]

39. I am!!

The last time I did anything on New Years Eve was Times Square three months after 9/11! Never again. I bet Times Square is old hat to you.

[mitchum]

40. I always stay home on Amateur Night

can't bear the sight of all that desperate fun

[ewagner]

53. Well said! n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

41. I'll be staying in for a very good reason

I was going to go up north and visit Cleita but in a little while I will be bringing home a new family member...a 2 and one half year old Golden Retriever...and I gotta indoctrinate the cats to their new housemate.

I'm excited!

[indigo32]

43. ohhh boy

poor kitties... but you and the Doggy will have fun. Congrats

[VelmaD]

42. My plans fell through...

was gonna go hang with my best friend like I do every year. But her in-laws decided to invite themselves over without asking her. Stupid in-laws. x(

Instead I'm gonna grab a bottle of wine on the way home. I'll go for a jog or to the gym or something. Then come home, light a candle or two, and try to make sense out of the past year. Then maybe contemplate what I want out of the coming one.

[Bundbuster]

44. Even wild Yaks couldn't drag me out -

Come - we virtual party 'til midnite and beyond!

[TahitiNut]

45. (LOL!!) A made-to-order question for a moderator!

:hi:


Hobby: celebacy and abstinence :silly:

[terrya]

46. I'm going to be in for a while, but going out for a couple of drinks, and

then I'm coming back in again.

[beyurslf]

47. Going out.

Meeting some friends for a midnight bowl and dinner.

[LastKnight]

48. im here... count on it... NT

[Bake]

49. NYE in the Lounge for me!

Stayin' in where it's safe to drink.

Bake

[Padraig18]

51. I'll be home.

Tony works 2-2 today, so it'll just be me and the menagerie. :party:

[beawr]

55. Not since...

Some friends/bandmates were killed in an auto accident on NYE 1989. I used to throw parties, but now I stay home and start taking down the Christmas stuff. My wife gets a little depressed because we don't party it up and frankly, neither do our friends. I suppose that's one of the joys of parenthood.
