What do you do for New Years Eve

[sunray]

How do you spend your new year's eve?

I'm trying to decide what to do ... the last six or seven years I've just stayed with my family, we go out for a meal or something, come home and have a drink, then when it hits midnight, we all fall asleep!!!! :muhaha My aunt and uncle came down from Scotland last year, so that made it nice! :happy

But I'm wondering whether or not to go out ... there's no one around here, but I could drive up to see one of my friends and spend new year out in a pub or club or something ... but I've not done something like that on New Years Eve for many years and not really sure if that's because I've just not had anyone to go out with, or if it's because it's not my sort of thing anymore!!! I do like going out ... but I also like staying with my family .... I can't decide!!

What are YOU doing for New Years Eve?

[seekinghelp]

I have no idea what I will end up doing New Years Eve. I hope I get out and do something!
Anyone have any ideas? (Yeah I know. Go out with friends, etc.) But anything creative?

'spose i should make some plans sometime soon considering new years eve is coming up fast:surprise.
i'll probably chill with some friends from home (if any of them will be around) or maybe just go home and sit around with my mom. or maybe i'll stay at college. eek! i can't decide:surprise:winky!

I am home for the holidays so I am going to a partee about four hundred people, long formal dress. I am wearing my red long sequent (sp?) dress that I got about three years ago. I am datless but what the heck, I can always dance w/ my friends!!

I always go to a party at the house of my friends Frank and Monica. We all bring food and drinks and watch the Dick Clark New Year's thing on TV.
And I always get my first kiss of the year from my best guy friend Tynie.

I'm still undecided on whether to drive up to my friends or not ... HOW DO I DECIDE??? :ummm

Part of me really wants to because I wanna go out and have a good time ... but part of me doesn't, because it means staying over. I much prefer coming home to my own house and my own bed ... even more so if I've had a night on the ole' juice! :winky But also, I think maybe it's because I know I can't escape ... ya know it's like, if I'm here, I can go when I want ... if I've had enough and wanna go home ... I can ... but if I'm in a completely different part of the country, it's not really possible!! I even emailed her asking if there were any nice hotels there, to treat myself! I could stay, in a hotel ... where I'm on my own ... just not with other people, friends, in their houses, in their rooms. :shy:sad I don't know why ... when I was at school and stuff, I used to love staying out with my mates ... when I was at college, I'd go out, and not come home for days!! But now, I do anything to ensure I come home ... it doesn't matter how much it costs me, if it means I get home, I pay ... last time I went out was for a meal with another friend, I went back to her house afterwards for a few drinks ... I then paid twenty quid for a taxi to get home after, when I could've stayed there and got a lift home in the morning for nothing. It's bizarre too, cus they are the people I've house/cat-sitted for ... I've lived in their house for a week or so at a time ... I've stayed over plenty of times after we've been out ... but not anymore ... now, I just cannot bring myself to do so, it's too uncomfortable.

I used to think it was just because I was getting older ... but I don't think it is ... because I feel it, inside, I feel all knotted up in my stomach at the thought of it, like I wanna cry and make it not happen!! Stupid really, considering it's supposed to be fun! If I could drive back the same night, it'd be ok ... but not only would that be really late (which isn't so bad!) but it means I couldn't really drink any alcohol ... I don't need to, but I want to, especially considering the plan is to go for cocktails! :supergrin I wanna go ... but I also don't ... I wanna be with my friend and have a big night out in a new exciting town ... but I also don't! I wish I didn't feel like this ... I wish I was how I used to be ... but a more grown up version now! :sarcasm I wish I could just ring up a friend, invite them out, and go out ... and not think anything of it, not be tormented by the "I wanna go/no I don't" voices. I do this ... I suggest things, but when it actually comes to going out, I seem to come up with any possible reason not to go ... even ones which aren't real! It was me who suggested to my friend I drive up for new year ... yet it's me now not wanting to go.

The way things stand, I am letting her know tomorrow morning if I'm coming ... I told her if the weather was anything like it was today, I wouldn't be, cus it was awful driving weather ... I wouldn't wanna drive hundred&twenty miles in this same weather!!! So I've not lied to her or anything ... but I need to decide ... soon ... I just don't know :sad

Hay, I must have been ahead of my time, coz that's all I ever do and have done for the past I don't remember how many New Years Eve's!
