Is anybody else doing nothing for new years

[Hastings & Main]

Nothing!!!

I used to care about new years - hearing the laughter & cheering from other houses and outside - but I just don't give a rat's wet **** about it anymore.
It's a pretty useless affair anyways (sorry to dampen anyone's spirit if they're into it!): a celebration of the Roman calendar flipping over.

The REAL New Year used to be celebrated at the beginning of Spring, when seasonal life was starting over - plants coming alive, animals out of hibernation, crops growing again etc - but it got pushed back when they added the extra months (***** you, Augustus!). It's just a reason to get drunk with friends, which I can do any time.
Y'know, except without the friends part.

Celebrate new years on your birthday - it's your own calendar that's unfolding, not anyone else's.

New Year, same as the old year?

What's new years???

Anyways I'll probably go to sleep at like 9 pm. Maybe have some cake or do something earlier in the day, completely unrelated to news years. Unfortunately it's one of those days where I do have to realize what day it actually is. Lameeee.

Yes, like since I was 12,but for some reason I have grown to like spending alone.

*Raises hand*

You know what we should do? Call up as many people as we can to come here onto SPW forum during New Years. Might make us feel at least a tiny bit less alone and more part of something.

Great idea. I'm not sure I'm gonna do. I'm or staying home, or I have to go with my dad/mum to friends .. I would enjoy the first option more, but it'll make me feel a lot more sad. Almost 18 and being alone at home with New Year, how great is that ?

Nothing. Probably just going to stay at home and watch it on T.V.

We should have one big anti social party in the chat room lol it's always mostly empty in there anyways. and I am 18 and alone at New years too :: or rather I'd just don't want to go out XD
