my grandma had that exact same couch and after she died my dad got it and we replaced our older, shittier couch with it and about a year later I fucked my girlfriend on it. thanks grandma.
I've been going to my friend's house for a small NYE get-together for more than 20 years and will continue to do so this year. When I was younger I tried going out a few times to events and it *always* ended in drama. I've learned my lesson.
Not until about 2 A.M. I help run 3 firework stands and a building. We close at midnight, then the boss let's us choose a firework up to $80 each ($160 for 2 people) and set it off.
Wife and I stay home. I don't drink and friends live out of town. Factor in too many drunk drivers and we stay home, play computer games, watch the ball drop 2 hrs early, and go to bed while praying no one is going to be shooting their guns into the air within range.
Called the cops on our neighbors last year.. started with fireworks (that's fine, I don't mind) then started to hear multiple gun shots after midnight. Our dog was shaking in fear. We live in a somewhat spread out neighborhood with lots of kids around... murica I guess.
We go to First Night. Listen to some live music in two gorgeous churches, grab a coffee and go to the green for the light display and fireworks at 9pm. Home by 10pm. Crack some bubbly, and light some fireworks of our own at midnight.
It removes all emotions. The first time I took it my friends wife called me hysterical because her husband (heavy ptsd) shot and killed himself in front of her. My response was a very unemotional "Well it seems he's solved all of your problems now." And then I hung up and went back to sleep. I told my doctor this and now my medical insurance has a special page in it!
When I look back on it now it's with the horror of playing a video game, seeing 6 dialog choices in front of you, and going for the one that get's you the "Fucking Sociopath" achievement. Except I couldn't reload. I wasn't allowed to go to his funeral and she still doesn't talk to me. Both of those are understandable but man does it hurt.

"She's been like that for three days, are you sure she's OK?" "Nah mate, she's fine. She always smells like that"

How I'm going to execute my plan.

May not be the plan earlier in the day, but it will be the likely outcome.

I'm in my 40's now. Since at least 2010, i've gone to bed before the ball dropped. Its just another day of the week to me.

I will have been asleep for 3 hours at that point.

Hope it’s because you don’t have to work my friend.

Trazodone the dogs, eat, curse the fireworks, go to bed.
FormerlySable
In years when it’s dry, I have to stay up to make sure my idiot neighbors don’t set fire to my yard with fireworks.

I am not allowed to have Trazadone. It does bad things to my personality.
