It was my first New Years away from home, and I loved every minute of it. Was with my boyfriend and a few of his friends for the night, randomly playing Smash Bros and WarioWare, and laughing our asses off at a hacked Mario video (
see here). Then came 11:55 PM and we busted out classic Coca Cola bottles (in lieu of me being the only one over 21) and got ready for the clinking, though we kept switching the channel to watch old Groucho movies right before to avoid the annoying commentaries for the ball dropping. Then we realized with one minute to go that the bottles weren't the twist open kind, and that we needed a bottle opener. So one guy rushed out with 45 seconds to go to get an opener, and started opening everything as the countdown reached thirty seconds. Managed to get it just in time and did the traditional HAPPY NEW YEAR! toast, while I gots mah snuggles. ^^
We then all turned into pyros and went outside to set off some firecrackers in the weirdest places. I'm pretty sure that trees aren't meant to hold exploding objects like that (I swear, it was just Coca Cola...). Everything was followed by a long round of Slapjack, which was accompanied by the sounds of jammed fingers (mostly mine), screams of agony (again, mine), and the triumphant cries that came from everyone (except me ;-; ).
Was the best New Years of my life. <3
