  • I'm studying.

    And I don't have any exotic KitKats. Sucks to be us. How did your trip to Cyber Candy go?

  • Not missing it per se,

    Just not really feeling it at all this year. Might go to the pub in a bit though, dunno.

  • Maybe I could go to the pub on my own?

    Maybe that might be okay?

    untrue | 31 Dec '11, 20:45 | X
    • So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own...

      Maybe best not to. I'm all for going places solo (I considered heading out alone too), but in a pub on NYE you might feel a bit like a lemon.

      • Yeah

        and I'll definitely go home and cry and want to die because there'll be lots of people I know but not knowknow in there so I'll come home and cry want to die because I didn't have the bollocks to converse with them

        Probably gonna just play minipool online and then smother my face with a pillow at midnight

        untrue @DaisyFlower | 31 Dec '11, 20:52 | X
        Annoying_person this'd this
        • Yeah, that's the difficulty

          If you're by yourself it's easier when there's no one you know, you can keep to yourself or try to meet people but when there's people you kind of know but aren't actually there with it gets awkward. Especially if you do go over and they say hi then turn back to who they're with and you have to pretend to go back to your friends and hope they don't realise you're there alone.

          That said, I'm still considering it, because if I don't it will mean a 4th New Year in a row sat at home on DiS.

          • Fuck's sake

            both of you. GO. Take a book. Let friends/strangers approach YOU. It's New Year's Eve - I guarantee you won't be left alone for every long.

            MirriLondon @DaisyFlower | 31 Dec '11, 21:06 | X
            • Haha, maybe

              I'll go see if I can find anything to wear. And I'd better start drinking if I'm going out!

              DaisyFlower @MirriLondon | 31 Dec '11, 21:11 | X
              • I've left it too late

                Just remembered seeing the opening and closing times over the christmas period in there and it said they were closing the doors at 9pm on new year's eve

                untrue @DaisyFlower | 31 Dec '11, 21:14 | X
                • They may still let you in if you say you're on your own. Worth a try?

                  MirriLondon @untrue | 31 Dec '11, 21:14 | X
                  • I'm like teachers pet in there

                    They'd let me in without a blink of an eyelid it's just that I assume the door will be shut and I'm not gonna start banging on it and causing a scene

                    untrue @MirriLondon | 31 Dec '11, 21:16 | X
                    • Call them!

                      Ask for special permission for back door entry.

              • Decided against it in the end

                The humiliation potential of going out alone tonight is just too high. At least if I stay in I can pretend it's through choice.

                DaisyFlower @DaisyFlower | 31 Dec '11, 22:18 | X
    • Do it.

      If it's awful, you can always leave.
      Seize the day and stuffs.

  • Second year in a row doing nothing....

    I am going to kill myself with drink regardless. Found a bottle of whiskey. I could go drinking with my friend but I think he is having drinks with his family and I am not feeling that.

    I should have really planned today a lot better

    skellywager | 31 Dec '11, 21:06 | X
  • Being too skint to drink

    I'm gonna do something productive. I plan to write an 2-track EP of instrumental tunes which I start recording at 11.00 and will distribute on Bandcamp at 1am. I like the idea of this being the last thing I attempted to start this year and will be the first thing I completed at the beginning of the next one. Good idea?

    Annoying_person | 31 Dec '11, 21:19 | X
    skellywager this'd this
    • Yes, like.

      MirriLondon @Annoying_person | 31 Dec '11, 21:22 | X
    • I also like this, I was thinking of recording a song maybe when everyone is out.

      skellywager @Annoying_person | 31 Dec '11, 21:28 | X
      • Well you'll be pleased to know I did it

        The results are up here. Its free to download, but as I mentioned, I'm full on broke so if you wanna give me money for the tunes, thats kinda cool as well http://cantswimwontswim.bandcamp.com/

        Annoying_person @skellywager | 1 Jan '12, 01:03 | X
        • and i didn't even

          let the fact that I found my flatmates skateboard lying around distract me too much

  • having a brew and watching MotD.

    if i go out and get tattered tonight my resolutions will be up the wall before Monday.

  • you going to join everyone after work ducky?

    sneak in a wee beer now in work so you dont have so much catching up to do!

    Im stuck in tonight.. i think ive been in that long now that im starting to not even care. Though, i really dont care much for going out on NYE, id much rather be at a house party with close friends.

    NYE will bring a positive mental attitude from myself. Really hoping this is a very productive year. A healthier year. A more musical year.

    MissBass | 31 Dec '11, 21:37 | X
    • The New Year will bring a*

      not NYE.

    • Hey

      I got back home at 7.30am, I was told (and based on the evidence before me) that everyone left (well my best friends) left at 7.25! I still cracked open the champers and shared a few glasses with my housemate... we did get some beer and champers at work though... so not all is bad

      Yesiamaduck @MissBass | 1 Jan '12, 11:31 | X
  • Anyone watching

    that Alan Carr thing? I like him but this is pretty irritating

    andyvine | 31 Dec '11, 21:38 | X
  • Feeling rough so staying in tonight

    Can't be arsed with it all so drinking some Hoegaarden and listening to loads of Sonic Youth.

  • Was planning to go out, but I'm far too tired after Foals WHP last night

    so I'm defrosting the freezer (I couldn't get the spare milk container out), drinking a fantastic bottle of Amarone, listening to Junior Boys and Justice

    UnrealCity | 31 Dec '11, 23:43 | X
  • Hey.

    Happy New Year, vegan virgin guardianistas. Best wishes to each and every one of you for the year ahead.

    You really are a great bunch o' lads.

  • I'm at work! Mr Dubya checking in!

    It cost me £9 to get here, plus I was hit very aggressively and hard on the shoulder with a newspaper by a frothing thug at 6.40pm before i'd even got here. Glad i'm not out, i'm going to watch Bolt and maybe Wall-E tomorrow and not be hungover and have a GREAT TIME.

        Are on. Uno-on.

  • spoiler: 2012 is just as bad as 2011

    diabetic_lucifer | 1 Jan '12, 01:26 | X
  • Reading this has made me kind of sad.

    I want to give everyone who ended up spending NYE alone a big hug. I always worry this will happen to me should I end up moving to a city where I don't know anyone.
