It is New Year's Eve!

At least it is in the US. I am watching CNN and just saw the midnight fireworks from Sydney, Australia. When I wanted to study abroad back in college my options were England or Australia. (seriously who wants to try to learn advanced biology in a foreign language?) My mother was like "England because Australia is too far away" My retort was "yeah because England is right around the corner." I was pissed. Its a 7 hour flight so I don't know what she was on about. In any case the fireworks show in Sydney was impressive from my side of the TV. We don't have anything official planned that I know of. The local yokels will of course light illegal fireworks off because that's what they do. I used to go out to the clubs on the barrier island back in the days but that was decades ago. I don't go out now. Midnight is way past my bedtime. Living where I do people always ask if I've done the Times Square ball drop thing. NOPE. It sounds horrible. It is freezing cold. You can't bring anything into the area. You also have no access to bathrooms so people wear adult diapers. Like WUT? I'm not trying to freeze while peeing in my pants in the middle of the night. No thank you. My big plans for tonight are. . . probably going to bed early. I certainly won't be staying up to watch the ball drop. The most exciting thing will probably be some spicy texts with the ex. Do you have big plans for New Years Eve?
