I took two tabs of acid with 3 friends and laughed and danced my arse off for 8 hours at a music festival. It was a magic night. I’ll grow up one day but not this year!
I walked to the bar. Accepted a free pour of sparkling wine. Counted down to midnight. Sang Auld Lang Syne. Drank my free wine. Hugged some strangers. Threw $5 in the tip jar. Walked home watching fireworks.
It’s a pretty fun holiday if you do it like me.
Nice city!
I watched anime at home. kissed my wife at midnight, then took my meds and went to sleep.
External validation!!!
I just sit by the windows and watch the local illegal fireworks shows.
The last time I went to a bar on New Year Eve, I paid 20 bucks to get in, bought my first drink and started goofy dancing to a song that came on the radio. Then I got thrown out for being intoxicated.
The bar was playing radio music??
They had live music and between the sets they switched it to “whatever” on the radio so it wasn’t quiet.
That’s actually a pretty funny story
Nah, going to a friends house with drinks I bought at the grocery store.
Now THAT’S the way to do it!!! :D
Why I will never understand or relate to extroverts.
Seems like they spend a lot of excessive money being out & about doing all the things they do.
Always surprising to me that people still do this. It’s always a scam and everyone goes home just slightly pissed off.
Staying home has been the way for me for years. I fucking hate overcrowded bars.
In my younger years I partied wild and even hosted parties with hundreds of guests (rented facilities).
Since my 40s I stay at home and go to bed at 10 pm latest.
My wife and I threw a 40th birthday party for me and that’s it. That was nearly 5 years ago now and we’re probably never hosting a party ever again lmao.
I’m not 40 yet and I was in bed by 8PM. 😬
Especially on Nye you’re not missing anything but drama and disappointment
This is the way.
I mean, some people enjoy going out into energetic crowds.
Yup, and those are the people pressuring the 90% who don’t to come out anyhow lol
You could always not give a shit
I’m definitely there! I just remember the bad times I had a few times when I did succumb to that pressure.
Some people enjoy pay all of their money to play cards, too.
And others pay money to gain cancer.
Like imagine getting cancer treatment in a hospital and looking out the window and seeing someone smoking. Two people doing the exact opposite things.
Some people pay money to enjoy their lives, and savour every moment, even if it means cutting the crap a little short.
I don’t smoke, as the risk/reward isn’t worth it to me personally, but if it’s what it takes for others to be happy, all the power to em. Knock themselves out. Literally heh.
I’d rather live 50-60yrs to their fullest, than live 80-90 mediocre years inside watching the latest Netflix crap or tv repeats (not to say there aren’t times when I enjoy it).
this is the worst comic ive ever seen. 3 frames are literally just the same drawing
Seriously, draw people getting into a place, draw them getting drinks, draw them waiting for Uber or some shit.
they can even have a :( face while looking at $$$ labels on the drinks. instead theyre just expressionless
It is a waste of a comic format. Would have been better as just text.
true. not only is it the same drawing, it adds nothing, not even once 😭
I took that as being part of the point.
My admittedly boring method:
-
stay home
-
do stuff, maybe video games
-
go to sleep whenever I feel like it
-
wake up at the normal time
I’ve found that, at least for me, I need to do social things, amazing things, and ceremony around it is also fine. Otherwise, I lose track of time and dark thoughts happen.
I encourage all to celebrate holidays or special events as much as you can, while you can. Every morning you wake up and can see and hear and smell and taste and feel and think. And if you’re short somewhere in that list, you probably already understand what I’m talking about. Life is short and a lot of people want yours to be shitty. Don’t let them win.
That being said, if you like playing videogames, don’t let the people who don’t appreciate that to make you feel like that isn’t quality time.
I used to stay up when I was younger just to witness the year changing, but now I’m old and just go to bed. It will be there in the morning.
I’m with you

Laughs in celebrating new year’s at home
Staying at home myself, but I think the trick is to enjoy the moments between those frames.
If you don’t enjoy the moments in those frames, don’t go to some overcrowded place. There are no moments in between.
A lot of people enjoy it. I can’t understand them, so I stick to small crowds.
The moments in between are usually comprised of dissociation and wishing I was anywhere else. The crowd has already sapped me of any energy I would’ve used to yell over the music while
talking toyelling at friends.
