Are you going to be fluthering on New year's Eve?

Asked by Sunny2 (18842points) December 29th, 2011

Just wondering. I’ll be around and probably will be here. Any body else willing to admit that?

Most probably. But definitely drunk. : )

I did my very first New Year’s Eve with Fluther

We are having another fire in the fire pit this year, but no gasoline will be involved this time. So who knows?

How funny @jonsblond. I only recognize two members from that thread… augustlan and Jeruba. Did you run everybody else off?

Sunny2's avatar

@mazingerz88 That should be fun.
@jonsblond We’ll miss you.
@FutureMemory Think about what you’ll bring to eat. Thia could turn into a party.
@jonsblond See note above.

Crazy their profiles are still active but no activity since 2008.

If I show up at some point after midnight and don’t make any sense, well, you’ll get the idea.

augustlan's avatar

Almost certainly, at some point. If I’m feeling better, I may be tipsy, too. :)

Bellatrix's avatar

Quite likely. I will also most likely have had at least a couple along the way.

zenvelo's avatar

I’ll be stopping by, clean and sober, but still celebrating.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

Most probably before 6 pm.——after that I’ll be ringing in the New Year with my family and doing family things to celebrate, like popping crackers, wearing party favor hats, and sipping champagne (the kids will sip apple cider!).

Sunny2's avatar

I will be sober since I can no longer drink more than 2 tablespoons of alcohol without ill effect. I’ll be the driver. But to participate vicariously, I’ll want to know what you’re drinking.

jonsblond's avatar

Look at @augustlan with her A all sexy. :D

Sunny2's avatar

@jonsblond That’s sexy? I thought it was a threatening dagger. Maybe it depends on what turns you on.

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

I got “sexy,” too. I thought it was something other than what it is, though.

augustlan's avatar

Hey, fancy “A“s can be sexy. :p

Sunny2's avatar

As I said, it’s in the eye of the beholder. (I didn’t say that? funny,)

jonsblond's avatar

It looks like sleek legs to me before I look at the larger image, then it looks like daggars

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

@jonsblond that’s what I thought, too. :)

Sunny2's avatar

Ladies, we’re getting off topic! Focus! Focus!

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

Yes’m. Sorry! :)
If I’m capable, I’ll be here. At some point.

jonsblond's avatar

Count me in for at least making an appearance.

I’ll be wearing my Tebow Jersey with my tit hanging out and a Santa hat on my head. (if anyone is following the same threads as I am, you’ll understand.) =)

Sunny2's avatar

@jonsblond Just one? Doesn’t that make you feel lopsided?

rooeytoo's avatar

Non drinker here but we have to go to a party. I don’t want to go, there is a basketball game in town and I would much rather go to that, but I can’t. So I will probably stop in when we get home from the party, unless I am too sleepy. Of course, it is new year’s day morning here when it is new year’s eve for most of you all.

Berserker's avatar

I don’t have any plans, so it’s that, watching movies or getting trophies on Trine 2. If I don’t get them all before the year rings in. Which I prolly will. Lol. Man I’m sure to put on some pounds in this vacation, all I’ve been doing is sleeping and sitting around lol. I knew I was meant to be a god.
But yeah, chances are, I’ll be on here. Things might change, someone might invite me somewhere, but otherwise, ain’t go no plans.

linguaphile's avatar

I don’t know my plans yet, but I’ll be here if I’m home.

Ayesha's avatar

Looks like it. No plans yet.

mazingerz88's avatar

I’m going to cook a pot roast and duck with orange sauce and probably, leg of lamb as well. Bought some booze already and will buy more tonight. But what I really want to do when the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s is bitch slap Kim Kardashian twelve times! Lol.

Coloma's avatar

I’ll probably drop in, I have no plans. I live in the hills and unless I go to a certain event or private party where I spend the night or get a hotel, I don’t go out on New Years.

rebbel's avatar

My New Year’s Eve is your New Year’s Afternoon.
I’ll be there first (in 2012)!

downtide's avatar

I’m not going out so I’ll almost certainly be doing something online. For the few minutes before and after midnight I’ll be watching the new years entertainment and fireworks on TV.

TheIntern55's avatar

The big “city” I use that term lightly near us has a all-night party on Main Street. It’s sorta like Times Square, only a heck of alot smaller. So that’s where I’ll be.
@rebbel Tell us what 2012 looks like when you get there, okay?

rooeytoo's avatar

@rebbel – ahem, we aussies will be there before you and the kiwis before us and Samoa even before them! (timeanddate.com)

rebbel's avatar

@TheIntern55 I would, but as @rooeytoo correctly stated, I am merely a follower in arrivals-in-New Year.
So the Aussies and Kiwis and Samoans must come forward to tell us all!

TheIntern55's avatar

Well, as far as Fluther is concerned, @rooeytoo gets it the earliest. We’ll depend on him to tell us whether or not it’s safe to ring in the new year. Because we don’t want to be celebrating the begginning of a terrible year, now do we?

HungryGuy's avatar

I don’t know. It all depends on what I feel like doing from moment to moment.

Seaofclouds's avatar

I will probably drop in, but I don’t know how long I’ll be on. I have to work until 7pm that night, which means I won’t be home until 8pm (if I’m lucky). We are planning to have a family game night while watching the ball fall on tv. Then I have to get some sleep so I can get up and go back to work in the morning (my alarm goes off at 5am).

blueiiznh's avatar

More than likely not.

cookieman's avatar

For the first time in years, we’re actually going somewhere on New Years Eve. So, probably not.

But, since I’ll likely have my phone with me, I may pop in to wish y’all a happy new year.

Bellatrix's avatar

There is a Happy New Year party in the chat room @cprevite. If you can even just log in and say hi there and you will then be part of the all world round chat Happy New Year dialogue.

Have a good one wherever you are anyway :-)

Earthgirl's avatar

I will drop in. Bellatrix Good idea to set up the chat room!
mazingerz88 I am making duck too. I think I will make it with 5 Spice mixture. Wow, but that is an ambitious menu! How many people are you having over anyways??!!
I love your new avatar. It’s funny but I recently had a really cool dream with 2 white owls in it.

Ela's avatar

Maybe. I will spending tonight the same way I have for the last 13 years, with my boys. Since they are older and don’t necessarily like me hanging around all the time, I may hope on for a bit.

mazingerz88's avatar

@Earthgirl My duck’s in the oven and the pot roast’s in the er, pot. No leg of lamb. I’m going to have around 8 people. But hey, I want that 5 spice mixture next time! Lol.

BTW I’m Fluthering here…hee hee….

Ela's avatar

Here it is New Year’s Eve and I’m Fluthering. lol I could only handle so much Beatles Rock Band before I needed a break!

FutureMemory's avatar

Rooeytoo is a she.

rooeytoo's avatar

@FutureMemory – I didn’t notice that, thank you, I am indeed female and proud of it.

cookieman's avatar

Hey folks. Happy New Year!!

Earthgirl's avatar

mazingerz88 Here it is 11 minutes after midnight and I am fluthering My duck is marinating. I wasn’t able to get Szechuan peppercorns (bad planning!) so I substituted paprika. My husband doesn’t like things hot anyways so hopefully it will turn out ok. Man what a project! I starrted too late to have it for tonight. I forgot that you are supposed to marinate. I have made it once before. First you marinate, then you steam, then you air dry with a fan for 2 hours, then you fry it. Yes! Fry it, you read that right. The five spice mixture is actually the easy part. You can buy that premixed at the store. It’s a Chinese blend of spices.Hope you had a Happy New Year’s Eve!

Earthgirl's avatar

Oh I seem to be forgetting everything today! Happy New Year’s everybody!!!

augustlan's avatar

Happy new year!

mazingerz88's avatar

Man, it’s 4:50 am and I just finished washing the dishes while totally drunk. All I can say is booze rocks! Happy New Year, jellies!

@Earthgirl My pot roast was a bust. I wanted it bloody but I followed instructions and it ended up overcooked, imo. Boy, that’s a lot of work with that duck of yours! : )

linguaphile's avatar

Happy new year everybody!!!!

Had the best New Years that I’ve had in the past… (counting…) 13 years! Tickled pink and happy (and sober) Lingua :D :D

I’m still awake at 6:15 AM…

TheIntern55's avatar

@rooeytoo Sorry! I should keep a list of who’s male and female here so I don’t keep messing people up :/

HungryGuy's avatar

Happy New Year, everyone! I did stop in late last night before I went to bed, but I didn’t leave a comment. I was playing Portal 2 until 2 AM and was cat tired!

I had a couple of beers, but I wasn’t what you would call shit-faced on New Year’s eve :-p
