What are you doing, New years, New Years Eve?

[Danustouch]

****Singing****

So..what are your plans for new years eve? I'm supposed to have my friends over tomorrow night, but...they haven't been around today, and one of them has a habit of cancelling plans at the last minute, so I am trying to confirm whether or not she'll REALLY be coming so that I can do some last minute grocery shopping.

I'm making buffallo wings, mini meatballs in a thin brown sauce, honey-teriyaki wings, devilled eggs, cocktail weanies, and supposedly, they're bringing shrimp, chips and dip, and booze. We're also going to have the whole cheese and crackers spread. And cookies. We rented a couple of movies. And we're going to play board games. Cranium, Taboo, and Trivial Pursuit. Nothing TOO exciting..but...more excitement than I've had for the past two New Years Eves :) Should be nice. I SUPPOSE that if my hubby is lucky, he'll get a New Years Kiss...IF he can stay awake that long (last year, he went to sleep at quarter of 11, after watching the Godfather Marathon on USA network ..lol )

Oooo, Danustouch ~ that sounds like a great way to spend welcoming in 2003!

Since hubby and I just moved here and don't know anyone, we're going to Providence's First Night celebration ~ which looks like fun!

Dont' they have waterfire that night? I hear it's a big hullaballoo....But..John won't go near providence if he can avoid it. I love it though. Have fun!

[Danustouch]

Incidentally MoonOwl...I have instate longdistance calling, and I'm still in Rhode Island. If you ever want to talk..let me know. I have a pagan friend, too, and we were thinking of starting up a discussion group. Let me know if you'd be interested. She goes to college in Providence. And I also know of a Circle Operating in that area....have spoken to the HPS..and she's terriffic. We should meet up for lunch some day :)

[Old Witch]

May be going to Kens brothers little bar and grill.......maybe just stay home and watch DickClark (Does he still do the Rockin' New Years Eve thing?)

[vespertine]

watching the fireworks from my back veranda than watching them again on the tv... ahahaha :p

[Witchy Cowgirl]

Sitting at home - doing nothing - like last year - and the year before that - and the year before that - etc.:(

[Rubi Waters]

I'm supposed to go to a big party....but there is still a lot of work to be done and deadlines don't wait for holidays. So I'm probably just gonna be at home working away. (same as last year :( )

[Witchy Cowgirl]

Rubi, me & you will have to party together on MW.:)

[Rubi Waters]

((( WC )))) sounds good to me! :)

I don't think they're having Waterfire (but I wish they would - we didn't arrive in time to see it this year!) but some of the things I want to see are the Peking acrobats, the Japanese drumming and the Gargoyles ("Performance artists bring stone gargoyles engagingly to life to the strains of ethereal music."). Here's a link to the event site if you want to see what the hullabaloo's all about. Or if there's anyone else in the Providence area. ;)

What part of RI are you in? I'd love to join a discussion group or something. One of my goals in moving was to meet some RL pagans, as 99% of my contact has been online. PM me if you want to talk further. :)

Witchy, do your boys stay up to welcome in the new year?

[Danustouch]

MoonOwl,

I live in Burrillville, which is a little less than an hour away from Providence, I think. But..my friend lives in Woonsocket, which is kind of half way between. And that is most likely where we would start having our discussion group. So far, we haven't advertised it, and though she has a couple of other Pagan Friends, I think we're just going to start fresh (her old pagan friends are a little bit.....ummmm....loopy. Not that i'm not..but if you knew them, you'd know what I mean). So that might mean putting something up around our towns, and on Witchvox. Then again, even if it was just us three to start..that would be cool :) If you don't drive, or are afraid you won't really be able to find your way, I know that there is a bus from Kennedy Plaza in Providence, right to Park Square in Woonsocket, where we could easily meet you, and come to pick you up. It's less than a block away from there :)

I'll probably be here until 11, then watch TV until midnight or so. *shrugs* Pa's working nightshift again this year, so it's not likely we'll be going anywhere....

[StormChaser]

This year looks pretty dull, i did have plans to go to medievil times but they fell through so now the night prior to my day of birth *jan 1st* i will be sitting at home wishing my boyfriend would turn off the ball dropping thing. *le sigh*

and this is my 21st no less. Stinks!

[Raevyn]

Today's my fiance's 25th birthday as well as New Year's Eve, so I'm getting plastered. He won't drink :D Heck, most of the time he abstains from caffeine too, just because he wants his body in tip top shape, and now he's thinking about going into competition.

So yeah, huge party, lots of friends, fun, and drunken party games.

[FlamedLilly]

wow I thought that I was going to have an exciting new years, better then last, Last new years I spent with 2 friends who got drunk and were fighting over who'd get the new years kiss, sadly to say they both passed out 10 minutes to midnight. . . LOL

but this year I'm home and I'll be going out bowling with my cousin and her hubby. I'd have a guy to go out with too, but he already had a date with his brother up in montana. . . oh well, 3 new years with no kiss. . . sigh

[WynterWynd]

Staying at home, like always!! Watching TV, posting, ya know, a normal night!;)

[shnen]

I'm with Raevyn... today working till not sure when, then going out to a club afterwards and going balistik! :D:D:D:D:D

[Faery-Wings]

Prolly fighting with hubby. :D

We have plans to go to my best friend's party. We went there two years ago, then last year was at his best friends...this year mine... and so on. The catch is that he insists that he doesn't like my best friend (old issues having nothing to do with me but he is a stubborn Tauras male! grrr) even though he has fun everytime we are together. They live an hour away, so we planned to stay over. Now he has decided he doesn't want to stay over or if we do stay over, he wants to leave by 8:30 am. :rolleyes: He *says* he wants to be home and have fun playing withthe kids, but I know he *really* wants to play on his new computer and computer games. What a dork.

I'd probably do better hanging out here!

[Old Witch]

I'm definitely staying home tonight........Lets have a party online.....Maybe we are total geeks............:T

[shnen]

GEEK!!!! :eek:

*runs*

[Yvonne Belisle]

I am snuggling with my sweetheart and watching movies with the kids. We are going to bake up some challah and nibble on that while watching the movies.

[Armitage]

Probably getting toasty and yelling a lot at a friend's party. :D

[DragonDawn]

I should be going over to a friends house tonight or alittle get together. But if that falls through i'll be spending New Years Eve like I do every year, home watching the tv alone.

[FaeRain]

We (the whole family, kids included) are supposed to go to a coworker/friend's house for a party....I'm supposed to be getting ready right now. But it just doesn't feel like New Year's Eve to me. It has a Tuesday night - I can't go out, b/c I'll miss 24 (fave show) feel to it.

Tomorrow should feel more like the real thing...the black eyed peas, collard greens and ham are ready to go!

Everyone, Happy New Year's and STAY SAFE!!

Call us when you get home! :wave:
