So, what you all do for New Year's Eve?

[bigwillq]

My boyfriend and I went to two bars in New Haven. We danced and drank and rang in the New Year with a lot of good friends.

I fun time was had by all and now I'm here at work.



Happy New Year!:toast:

[alexisfree]

1. got drunk...

still will get drunk again tonigth:hangover:

[bigwillq]

3. Cool! I'm probably going to the bar later, too!

:toast:

[melnjones]

2. Drank

...some sparkling grape juice:-) Good stuff, I must say. Oh the joys of not being able to drink alcohol!

[bigwillq]

5. Why can't you drink? Your chose? Medical?

:hi:

[melnjones]

14. Honestly,

it's my choice. I just think I'd make a really good alcoholic, so I figure I'd better avoid the stuff. But it is fun to watch friends drink:-)

[bigwillq]

17. I wish more people thought the way you do!

:hi:

[Placebo]

4. Hung out @ my friend's, boyfriend's condo...

downtown. It was fun times.

Damn him to blazes though, spoiled guy that he is. He doesn't even have a job, and his parents bought him a condo downtown, and filled it with furniture and electronics, AND they pay his full college tuition, and bought him a damn SUV, and still give him spending cash! :grr:

Gah, I hate being jealous but...damn it all.

I still have half a bolly of Stoli, however, to wash all that jealousy away in an alcoholic stupor.

[bigwillq]

10. Does he act like a spoiled brat? (nt)

[Placebo]

13. Nope.

He's a damn fine person.

His parents are Republicans though, not like it matters, but they have a signed photo of Bush & Laura in their living room. :scared:

[bigwillq]

18. That's cool-about the friend

:puke: About the pic!

[alexisfree]

21. we have a friend..like that!!

not talking to him anymore he's parents hardcore repukes ...he hates showers...so he smells only reason for breaking the friendship..he refuse to clean up!

[Placebo]

24. EW...

Body odors are RARELY good.

My guy in question however, is this Punk Lite (listens to all the corporate punk crap that he thinks makes him truly punk), C-SPAN watching, liberal, super-mellow guy...and his parents are all freeperish. It's crazy.

[TankLV]

63. More importantly - does he spoil you?!?!

If he doesn't shower you with gifties, I'd seriously consider another boyfriend - unless there "something else" that he's got to offer that's even better, ahem!

[0007]

64. Perhaps his folks just know how to get rid of him at any cost?

[terrya]

6. It sounds like you guys had a great time!

I stayed home, rented a couple of movies and called up my boyfriend, Doug, to usher in 2005. :-)

:hi:

T

[bigwillq]

8. We had fun!

Aww, too bad you couldn't be with Doug.
When will you see him next?

[terrya]

12. I'm seeing Doug in 2 weeks, my friend.

I'm going up there for MLK weekend...and a few days after. :-)

T

[bigwillq]

19. Enjoy your visit!

:hi:

[terrya]

25. I'll be with my man...

of course I'll enjoy my visit. :-)

Thank you!

:hi:

T

[bigwillq]

26. I get the picture!

Man, how do you two do it?

I could never have a long distance like that.

[terrya]

30. Love, my friend.

I'll put up with any sacrifice to ultimately be with the man I want to grow old with.

T

[bigwillq]

31. Awww, how sweet!

I guess one knows when it's time and when they are able to make that sacrifice.

I know I love my man but I'm not sure if I would be willing to make that sacrifice at this point.

Is it wrong to think like that?

[terrya]

37. No, it's not wrong.

I understand your feeling.

It's just that I don't want any other man but Doug. If I can't have him, I don't want anyone else.

Simple as that, bigwillq.

T

[bigwillq]

41. Aww, that's even sweeter!

Seriously, I think I will come to a point when I feel that way towards somebody.
Like I said, I love my man but I'm still young enough to maybe try and experience all I an out of life.
Which could mean, moving out of state. I don't think it would be fair for either one of us, if only one of us was willing to make that committment.

[terrya]

43. I'm 48, guy.

I honestly thought I'd spend the rest of my life alone.

But it was like they say "when you least expect it, you'll find true love". And that's what happened to me.

I think you might have the right attitude for yourself. If you're still at an age to want to experience all that life has to offer, then do so. You may not want to get tied down right now.

T

[bigwillq]

45. Well, the tied down part is a little sticky

I got invovled too fast with the man that I'm with now, financial stuff, etc. But we have made it work.

I know my man thinks we're going to spend the rest of our lives together and I could see that happening but there's also another part of me saying


"What if"? You know.

[terrya]

49. Oh, my goodness.

Geez. Yeah, it sounds like your pretty situated with your guy.

I don't know what to tell you...or IF you want me to tell you anything. All I can say, as trite as it might sound, is to follow your heart.

That sounds like such a copout. I only want you to be happy. :-)

T

[bigwillq]

50. I always say "follow your heart"

So no I don't think it's a cop out. You really don't have to say anything, I will only figure things out on my own.


"I only want you to be happy. "


Thanks Terry!:hug:

[terrya]

52. Good! :-)

And you're a very nice guy. One of my favorite DU'ers.

And this is getting very close to turning mushy.

So...

:hug:

T

[bigwillq]

56. From one fave to another

:hug:

[JohnKleeb]

7. Went to the Aviator with my dad, other than that nothing really

Sigh its no fair that I have to go back to school monday, I still have a lot of work to do.

[bigwillq]

9. You better get going on that work, boy

Monday will come sooner then you think.

[JohnKleeb]

11. I am gonna be reading the book tonight

then if I have any strength, I'll do the logs, and then tommorow, I'll do the draft. God, fucking no late work policy in English, I wish it would snow here. Crap its 21 above freezing here.

[bigwillq]

22. Which book? (nt)

[JohnKleeb]

29. ahh Kaffir Boy by Mark Mathabane

Its an enjoyable book unlike the crap I read earlier in the year though. Then I have to do my draft on my Appalachia paper. This is all for English, jeez, then I have to work on a journalism article then study for chem. I never thought I'd say this but god bless block scheduling.

[Kellanved]

15. a small party with friends

Smoked Fish, Vodka, Pfannkuchen, Champagne ... you'll get the picture.

New Haven has quite a few cool bars.

[bigwillq]

20. Which one's have you gone to? (nt)

[Kellanved]

27. Just a handful

The Diesel, the Unnamed Bar, Rudy's, "Bar" and - on Edit- the GPSCY (remembered "Gypsies"...) - liked that last place, fair prices, good beer.

[bigwillq]

32. Diesel and "Bar" are two of my faves

The other two, I don't think are their anymore, if they are I don't knwo where they are.

[Kellanved]

36. Rudy's is definitely still there (on Elm)

I was there just a few weeks ago. Best fries I had stateside, but I didn't care much for the music.
The Unnamed Bar is an Army/Cop place with some of the best hamburgers on earth, I have the address somewhere in my notices - I'll look it up tomorrow.

The "Bar": liked the Pizza, but the leaky roof did kill much of the possible entertainment :-( .


As to the Diesel's I like the atmosphere, but missed Caribbean style (hint: fresh lime) drinks and they definitely need to do something about their Beer selection...
One of the best Barkeeps I've ever met.

[bigwillq]

38. How long ago were you at BAR?

I like more club/bar places and I think I may not have heard of Rudy's because it may be more like a sit down bar/restaurant.

[Kellanved]

44. Last Spring

Rudy's is a Bar which happens to serve fries - it is a gag, as the place is run by a Belgian. Well, OK: it is somewhere between a Live Jazz Music Bar and a Sit-Down Fries place).

But, yeah, now that I think about it, it is indeed possible that they don't exist anymore... (sorry, it is too late for me)

[bigwillq]

46. In support of BAR, I know they've been remodeling

So maybe that's where the leaky roof part came in.

[FarLeftRage]

16. Sleep

I put in a 16 hour work day on New Year's eve...

[n2mark]

23. I retired early

to prevent my dogs from barking. We went to bed at 9:30-9:45p, fell asleep quickly, woke up once and went back to sleep. If there was noise in our neighborhood I didn't hear it, guess the dogs did not hear noise either. I was also bored. I had a ribeye steak, 5 oz lobster tails and salad last night for dinner.

Did I mention my new pillow that helps me sleep?

[bigwillq]

28. Tell me about the pillow!

:)

[Seabiscuit]

33. Nursed a flu I picked up from a cousin who visited Christmas weekend.

Stayed in bed most of the day and was asleep by 9 pm. Feeling only sightly better today.

Yuck. Happy New Year? Bah, Humbug!

[bigwillq]

34. Hope you feel better soon!

:hug:

[Amaya]

35. I have a cold

so I stayed in had a friend over
drank some wine and talked until 3am.

Pretty boring, eh? :)

[bigwillq]

39. Wine and talk can never be boring

Hope you feel better!:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

40. I hosted a small party at my house.

A very good time was had! :-)

[bigwillq]

42. I know, I'm waiting for the tape!

:evilgrin:

[Hans Delbrook]

51. My usual fondue/ hot tub party for a few friends.

Worry not, we do the fondue then hit the hot tub later. They are not done together.

The only thing is I cut my thumb while cooking and it still hurts like a m------f-----! I'm dying to look at it but I know if I do it will only hurt more when I see it.

[bigwillq]

53. Hot tub party! Sounds like fun!

Sorry about your thumb. Hope it gets better.:hi:

[Hans Delbrook]

54. That's the good thing about skin

Unlike a heart (Nov 2nd, :cry: ) - it will eventually heal.

[bigwillq]

55. I feel your pain!

:hug:

[Cuban_Liberal]

47. Stayed home, ate, cuddled, and so on...

The 'and so on' part was especially nice.

:evilgrin:

[bigwillq]

48. Awww..I had a nice "and so on" part of my night too!

:evilgrin:

[jonnyblitz]

57. ha....if you think I am ever gonna tell then you are on something.

geezuz. :eyes:

[bigwillq]

59. I was on something last night!

:evilgrin:

[jonnyblitz]

60. don't wanna here about your sex life dude.

:P

[bigwillq]

61. I wasn't talking about sex!

:evilgrin:

[UrbScotty]

58. I stayed home and watched St. Regis drop his ball.

:D

[TankLV]

62. Bed. Early. Not too much to celebrate this time around.

Snuggled with my honey and our doggies.
