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
Always surprising to me that people still do this. It’s always a scam and everyone goes home just slightly pissed off.
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.
Nah, going to a friends house with drinks I bought at the grocery store.
Now THAT’S the way to do it!!! :D
I stayed home, not by choice. Got the unwelcome xmas gift of covid.
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.
I’m not 40 yet and I was in bed by 8PM. 😬
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.
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).
Laughs in celebrating new year’s at home
There comes a certain age where if someone invites you to a New Year’s Eve party you’re just furious with them.
I think small party is fine. What I can’t stand is counting down in a plaza.
I’m working this year, but the wife lucked out hard. She got invited to a house party, then today her friend called and said everyone except the two people hosting are sick, so it’d just be the three of em.
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.
I’m drinking a mango margarita and eating spaghetti. This was not a wise combination choice, yet here I am.
