Party hearty
Some people really don't like New Year's Eve. I don't understand it, myself - most year's I've stayed in with a few friends or family and played video games, watched movies and the like. This year I actually went out to a party with a bunch of people, most of whom I didn't know at all, and drank myself silly. I had fun, personally. All due respect to Nick and Todd, but I think of it this way: you can either look at New Year's Eve as "evil and awkward imperative to have as much fun as possible" (to quote Nick), or you can view it as an excuse to schedule a party for that day of the week rather than another day. I mean, I'm on vacation so I'll be getting together with people at some point anyway, right?
