OceanGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Things are pretty tense with my bff and normal group of friends. I am not sure what they are all doing for NYE but I did ask them a week ago to let me know and that I would like to come. Well, I heard nothing. Of course - I could hassle them to the point where they would have to invite me but I don't feel like it. There are a couple of undesirable options: 1. OKC first date - the guy is not promising at all and I don't think I am in the right frame of mind for dating right now. 2. Go to a party with my brother and his friends. He was kind enough to invite me when I complained about having nowhere to go. But his friends are kind of :S. I went out with that group a couple of times and felt pretty awkward. I am thinking of just staying home or spending it with my mum and dad.
USMCHokie Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 All my NYE plans kind of went to sh*t, so I'm probably going to spend it at home doing a whole lot of nothing.
Citizen Erased Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Come to Sydney! Pyro and I will entertain you. At least go out with your brother. You'll feel crappy sitting at home.
ComeUndone Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Come to Sydney! Pyro and I will entertain you. At least go out with your brother. You'll feel crappy sitting at home. I agree. You'll be depressed being at home by yourself. It'll be better to be with company than alone on New Years Eve
Surrealist Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 It's all happenin' here baby .... http://www.cslacker.com/images/file/mediums/nerd_party.jpg
Els Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 It's all happenin' here baby .... http://www.cslacker.com/images/file/mediums/nerd_party.jpg They should have computers in front of those guys instead of lame paper cups. Then the bf and I might actually consider attending. :bunny:
Author OceanGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 It's all happenin' here baby .... http://www.cslacker.com/images/file/mediums/nerd_party.jpg LOL what are your plans?
january2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) Just go. Do something. You might just have a brilliant time. Edited December 28, 2010 by january2010
Author OceanGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Ugh. I asked that guy from OKC: if I were to spend NYE with you, what would we do? He said: movie in the arvo, few drinks at a bar followed by a romantic dinner. I am not sure if I CBF doing all that with a stranger
january2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 OG do it. It might be great. Or it might not. Either way, you'll have a story to tell. That's always better than saying you moped about at home doing nothing much for NYE. Go on. It will be an adventure.
Surrealist Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 LOL what are your plans? Unfortunately probably not much more than the boys in my pic. Though I will drown my sorrows with copious amounts of alcohol. Suffice to say I've had more than a few drinks tonite as well.

It could just be laziness on their part...or nonchalance. No one in my circle even begins to think abt NYE until a day or two before, at best. Edited December 28, 2010 by LexiB

My mum found a few empty bottles of wine and is worried (but she worries about everything). She kept watching my alcohol intake very closely during Christmas dinner
Yer_Blues Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I always drink alone, heavily, on New Years Eve and reflect on the year and what I really still want to obtain in the future. There's worse things in life
Author OceanGirl Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 I am all set to spend NYE by myself. My brother is not going to the party but is instead hanging out with 2 friends. They have helped me move furniture yesterday and I have spent few hours with them. The idea of spending NYE with the 3 of them is not very appealing. They are incredibly immature and they kept poking each other and saying "you are gay" ......"no you are gay" :rolleyes: OKC date is still a possibility but I don't like any of the 2 guys that want to do something then AT ALL. So I don't think it's fair to lead them on. Out of desperation, I messaged my former hook up turned friend (who is still kind of bitter that I ended things with him) and asked him if he is doing anything. He said he is going to some BBQ and I am welcome to come along. I thought yes! but alas, when I tried to make plans with him he kept saying "but it's a really small group - I don't think you will feel comfortable not knowing anyone there.." So I figured it was one of those polite invites but he really doesn't want me to come. So I thanked him and said that I will find something else to do. I rang my gay friend and he is going to be in Darwin - so that's a no go. I rang my BFF too and she is spending it with her new housemates and didn't even bother to invite me, not even out of politeness. Biatch... My other good friend is married and I don't think his W likes me very much so I am not even going to attempt to ask him. I am trying hard to think of any other options....but I can't think of anything.
january2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 What about a meet with all the other LSers who would otherwise be spending NYE alone?
northern_sky Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 ^Good idea! You, the Surrealist, CE and Pyro should all meet up and have a party.
SmileFace Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I have no NYE plans either. Was suppose to go back to my hometown and go partying with my friends but since I have to save for my new apartment. I can't afford to go visit. Sucks. . . So I am spending NYE with my dog. Could of spend it with someone - but he went MIA -- like everything else in my life.
Author OceanGirl Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 All Australian LS-akers live in different cities I am kind of thinking of going to one of those singles parties ALONE. It's one of those parties that online dating sites organize where they say that more than half people turn up alone. Not sure if that's a good idea.
Author OceanGirl Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 But then again they say...it's just another night who cares anyway...
northern_sky Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I feel like at this point you are taking it as a personal failure if you are unable to find something to do on NYE. I understand the attitude, because I've been tempted to feel it myself, but it's kind of irrational when you think about it. I mean it's just one day a year. I know how much it sucks to be alone when everyone else is having fun, and it looks like my NYE's is shaping up to be the same as yours as my family plans seem to be falling through. But I hope you don't give this more importance than it deserves. It really does feel crappy, though. Now I think I've depressed myself when I was trying to cheer you up. Haha.

I feel like a social failure having nowhere to go to. But it IS just another night and yes I will feel somewhat depressed but that's nothing new. I feel somewhat depressed on many nights that are not NYE.. I could just watch a movie, go online and go to sleep at 11pm...and it will be all over...

But I hope you don't give this more importance than it deserves. Seconded. You don't have "nowhere to go" and therefore are not a social failure. You've got a number of options other than spending NYE alone and wallowing. Just pick one.
Surrealist Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 ^Good idea! You, the Surrealist, CE and Pyro should all meet up and have a party. That would be great, I noticed CE is in Sydney so its not too far from where I live. But like OG said, we all live in different cities or states. Anyway I am not totally alone on NYE, but not doing much anyway, not only cos there isn't much to do in Canberra but also cos I like to drink and the best place to do that is home, I don't risk my lisense with drink driving. So will put on the TV and watch the Sydney fireworks (which are imo the best in the world). The last time I went NYE partying in Sydney CBD was 1984 to 85, yep that long ago! Had my AC / DC T-shirt on and got drunk on a medium sized bottle of whiskey and coke. Lost my group of friends and yet later ran into my best friend at that time (RIP mate) when he came into the city late on his own (how's that for finding a needle in a haystack?). You'd probably get stabbed, bashed or murdered going into the city alone on NYE nowadays.
Mme. Chaucer Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 It really is just another night, but if it's meaningful for you don't spend it alone. Single party, your brother's, whatever. I do think that if you have enough problems between your best friend, your other friends and yourself that you are left out of New Year's plans, it might be a good idea to try to get things right with them.
