DANCE ON 2016'S SORRY GRAVE, or, New Years

Anyone have any plans for this new years?
Also four fucking days until this abomination is finally over. Gonna have to remember to do a full ding dong the witch is dead dance at midnight.

 

I will be playing Exalted. We'll pause the game at midnight to drink and offer a hearty FUCK YOU to 2016, and then go back to our fictional world which is also ending but at least we get to be demigods who can do something about it.

 

We don't really celebrate except watching the ball drop on TV and getting drunk. None of us like to go anywhere because there's always drunks on the road, or at least crazy-driving assholes. It's practically tradition to stay put. I might put some of my Christmas money towards something interesting to drink- last year mom was visiting and I got to try sake for the first time, so it might become a personal tradition to try something New and Interesting (if I run out of new kinds of drinks I guess I'll go for weird flavors?)

 

I'm going to spend midnight at the bf's aunt's, wearing the wrong clothing colors and listening to a four year old continuously screaming. and i cant even get drunk, because i dont like drinking around other people. it's going to be fun, and by fun i mean hell, which i think is somewhat a fitting conclusion to this trainwreck of a year

at least i'm almost done with summer cleaning and have a necklace i've never worn before, so it's still technically new, and that matches the wrong dress i'll have to wear because i forgot to send the one i wanted to the tailor's. I'm not taking any fucking chances with 2017 so i'm damn well going to do every little ritual i didnt do for 2016.

the only one i'm not going to be able to do is jumping seven ocean waves for yemanjá, because i'm not at the goddamn beach, and i wonder if i could splash around in the shower in a pinch.

 

i am having a fucking drink and flipping 2016 off into the sunset. possibly tossing some salt. i don't even know.

 

Because of the way this year has gone I'm not 100% sure if you mean the yearly ritual or being vocally salty as fuck about 2016.

 

boTH

 

Going barhopping with my BF and a couple of his friends! Hopefully it turns out non-shitty this year.

 

I am probably going to take that suggestion about burning calendars from the witchy thread, it seems Good. Aside from that, probably do my usual "wander neighborhood watching fireworks" thing. Fire is the important thing.

and lamenting that I'm going to be 24, how is this happening

 

I am going to figure out where to fireworks because giant balls of flame is the perfect metaphor for out with the old and in with the new imo, and if i cant i guess ill just find sonewhere online to countdown to.

 

SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS EVERYBODY

... nah, alcoholic milkshakes and pork + cabbage for luck. Iiiiif I'm not working all night

 

I'm meeting my cousin!
....aaand that's about as far as our plans have developed.

(the back-up plan for if we don't get ourselves together enough to find a party or grab more people is just me and her, + musicals, movie marathons or boardgames. and alcohol.)

 

I haven't been taking my painkillers for 2 weeks specifically to prep for new years so I can fucking drink. I can't drink on my painkillers because I will actually die, so I gotta be sure they're out of my system. The agony is worth it, because I do not want to spend the last few hours of this year sober.

 

hm, well I guess I'll have just got back in town!

my house doesn't have a tv, maybe I'll buy champagne and set some shit on fire

anyone have a fire pit?

 

I'm making champagne jello shots (for everyone but me, I can't tolerate gelatin) because my goal in life is to trash up anything classy in a spectacular fashion. Maybe make some sort of layered cocktail with it, depending on how my spoons go.

 

I may be doing a thing with some coworkers idk. Depends if i have to work the next day bwcause while i wont be drinking i will be Stayin Up Late and possibly being the designated driver idk

 

Having an angry party with a buncha queers!

 

Party at Choir Bro #1's house. He was making some noises about possibly hiring a karaoke dude for this year's.

 

If no other plans manifest, I´mma sit and drink champagne and watch fireworks. Also pet upset kitties.
