it all seems kind of silly to me that just because we change the calendar everybody has to get drunk and celebrate...what are we celebrating anyway??
just change your calendar to January and go to bed! as a wise man in the chat room once said "HAPPY JUST ANOTHER DAY!"

...a very wise monkey...ummm...I mean..."man" indeed...

i think we are supposed to be thankful or something

i dunno... it's lost on me too at the momment.

big hugs all around

it's a big deal to me, because it represents the end of a year and the beginning of another year. last new years, it marked the end of a shitty year and the beginning of a plan to make a very happy 2004. twelve months later, i'm going to celebrate a freakin' phenomenal year and ring in a 2005 that's gonna be even better. so i'm either killing off a crappy year or celebrating a good year when i recognize new year's eve and the big countdowns.

yeah, what he said only it was 2002 that was shitty for me. . .

So people kill their livers a little more each year.

It'a always nice to celebrate, any reason we can find will do
