Throw a big partygo to someone else’s big party.This is why extroverts confound me.
Imagine going to crowded places out of your own free will.
Nobody goes to these places anymore, it’s too crowded.
Just do whatever the fuck you please. It’s that simple!
Oh man, I loved the Nye when I did a startup with a partner I hated, she went home to her parents and I stayed at the place we were living, while I was nocturnal.
Last thing I did before going to bed on the morning was go to the supermarket, buy sausage, bacon, bagels, cheese, rum (capt Morgan and Malibu), kahlua, cream and pineapple juice.
I went to sleep at like 8am. I woke up at 7pm and just watched the big Lebowski, posted on 420 Chan, smoked weed, drank white Cubans and piña coladas, ate sausage and bacon bagels.
On a loop. 16 hours straight.
I never experienced this. NYE is either family, house parties or raves where you mostly bring your own alcohol (and other things).
Sick on vacation while my friends at home have a shrooms party ._.

It can be worth it doing it at least once in your life if only to gain the perspective that it’s an overrated experience.
The one time I actually went bar hopping on New Year’s Eve was horrible. Where we were they’d set up some inflatable obstacle course like ninja warrior but tame. My buddy’s wife wanted to do it, but he didn’t, so I was like ok I’ll race you. They made you take off your shoes when you get in line.
So my feet are always wet with sweat. I have hyperhidrosis. I have circulation issues as well and my feet are always cold if it’s not 75 degrees or better. So my socks were wet, standing in the street, and it’s 30 degrees or so. My socks were actually getting frozen to the street at times. After we did the obstacle thing we were walking up the street and I could tell there was something really wrong with my feet. I was stumbling and I hadn’t had much to drink.
So we went into a bar and I went into the bathroom and took my shoes and socks off. My feet were totally numb but also somehow in really bad pain? I was getting frostbite. No this wasn’t the pins and needles thing. I’m trained in outdoor emergency care, this was frostbite. So I ran hot water over my feet one at a time in the sink while people pounded on the door and screamed at me.
Other bad things happened that night but that part was the worst. Now I either stay home or go to a friend’s.
I would not look to do it though as Im a pretty introverted guy and even I have had this experience. It will happen for some reason some day.
Light some fireworks with the kids at 8pm, plan to do the good stuff at midnight, fall asleep at 10:30.
I just went over to a friend’s house and had a high quality one-on-one hangout all night. It was actually great.
Alternatively: work as usual, stay home, go to bed by 10PM. Never turn on a TV or livestream related to the day. Also remind yourself that the year should start on April 1st.
Why April?
Romans started the year in March, this is why the names of September (7), October (8), November (9), and December (10) don’t make sense in our calendar.
insert meme of guy sitting at computer, fireworks going off out the window, guy looking disgruntled and closing the blinds
oh shit fireworks. forgot about that.
How do you have a picture of me?
One of the perks of aging is not caring about shit like this anymore. Tomorrow, I’ll wake up fully rested and able to take advantage of my day off by doing absolutely nothing. It’s more pleasurable when you’re awake to enjoy it.
I’m going to be watching the ball drop from 1999 and drinking some champagne
Also applies to most major events. Sporting events. Conventions. Music shows.
