Going out for New Year's? Me?

[icarus]

I'm insane. I never go out, not without a boyfriend or date or -- or something.

But nothing was coming together for New Year's, and somehow I got sick of waiting, didn't like the idea of being at home, watching TV again. Not that I don't enjoy watching the ball drop on TV. But this year I wanted to go out.

So I picked an outing in DC, bought tickets, and darn it, I'm going.

But it's so different from what I usually do that ...aaaaaaaah! I'm nuts. Not so worried about the party as I am about getting there, parking, and getting back. (No need for a designated driver: I don't drink.)

I might have a miserable time. But darn it, just once I'm going out for New Year's Eve.

And not to a Chinese diner.

Thank you. Me too!

I am sure, going in with a good attitude will lead to fun and enjoyment. At least you are going to do something and not just sort of heading randomly 'out' - that never leads to fun.

Good luck!

I am going to be hiding under the nearest sheet (too hot for a blanket) and ignoring the world as usual.

The last time I headed randomly "out," my brother and I ended up at a dingy Chinese diner with a dying neon sign on New Year's Eve. It was hilarious, but no, not fun in the usual sense of the word.

I'll try to blow a New Year's noisemaker loud enough for you to hear it under that blanket. (Gives you Rothy in pre-apology.)

That is television comedy type 'going out' - sort of the tragic situation that is amusing for everyone else some ten years later. I know the feeling though, although it ended up being more of an extremely long walk to avoid the trams that were full of drunk people.

Ergh. Thanks. For Rothy, not for the noisemaker. *shudders and goes back to embrace her inner grump*
