Ghosts of New Year's Past (updated)

In my attempt to be all "WHOO IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE LET'S GET CRUNK UP IN HERE! WHOO! WHOO! HEY YA'LL IT'S ANOTHER NEW YEAR! WHOO!" (lmao at myself) I would like to mention how I've spent the last half dozen New Year's Eves.

31 Dec 2003: Lived in the 'plex and had a party with all the roomies. Our friend's band played downstairs and all the drinking was to be maintained upstairs. (FYI- I was 18) I got wasted, my ex-boyfriend showed up. I told him to fuck off and then proceeded to get even more drunk and make-out with one of my roommate's friends. The TV got unplugged in the middle of the countdown so we just guessed and yelled Happy New Year. OH! AND my friend/neighbor across the street stopped by and scared the guy who answered the door. I believe the scene played out like this:

Roomie: "I swear, whoever the fuck is knocking on this fucking door is gonna..."

Friend/Neighbor standing behind door. ( I better add that he is a very large Hispanic man... very large. )

Roomie: "Hello Sir."

Me (drunk and sitting on the floor): *laughing hysterically* "Hi 'friend/neighbor'"

Then we started the infamous prank war.

31 Dec 2004: Dyed my hair black. Got convinced into going to a party at a friend's house. Proceeded to say hi to the same people 3 or 4 times before they realized who I was. Drove my friend to the gas station because she was wasted and wanted milk and tortilla chips. Tried to have a 'theme song' at midnight but we all go so excited that we made the cd skip 3 times. Gave up and just yelled Happy New Year. Got kissed on the cheek by a friend, who I ended up sorta smooching on later. Went home at like 3 am.

31 Dec 2005: Was with "The ex" (aka - Fuckhead). Went out to dinner with him and one of my friends. His roommate was home so the 4 of us drank 2 bottles of champagne and then passed out around 2.

31 Dec 2006: For some reason I can't remember this one. This would be the first year that I was legal to go out and drink but I don't think I did that. Must not have been very exciting. Moving on.

**UPDATE: I literally had to ask a friend what happened that night and now I remember. I got in a fight with Fuckhead because he didn't want to go out by my friends for a party. So me and my old roomie went to the party without Fuckhead for a little while. I had maybe 1 drink and then we left. We watched some fireworks at my neighbors house around midnight and that was about it.**

31 Dec 2007: Made plans to go out with my roomie at the time and her family. Tried to talk my current boyfriend, DS to go out with us but he didn't want to intrude. Drank at the bar and listened to a band that we liked. Ran into my sister's band director from summer marching band (he's my age LOL). Hugged him, the roomie and the fam at midnight, got a text/voicemail from DS (no service in the bar). Called DS at 12:02 to say Happy New Year. Went home at bar close.

31 Dec 2008: DS and I didn't really want to go out and get wasted so we went and saw Benjamin Button and then went home and watched the countdown on TV. Quiet, but good.

This year, DS and I are planning to go grab some dinner and then maybe have a few drinks. Nothing huge. But it should be good. :-)
