What are your plans? Stayin home? First Night celebrations? Fireworks? Clubbing? Rave? Dinner and a dance? Tell me the goods. I've rented a hotel room with five of my friends and we're gonna go partaaaay at a local club. I spent $35 bux on the ticket so the party better be good!

But that's cheap considering the prices at other clubs. They all range from $50-120 bux. Is it just me or is that stupid?

So this will be -->

I told me friend that she better make sure I chug a bottle of water before I pass out. I'm aiming for no hangover. yah right.

Working, dang it. I keep telling myself it will all be worth it... Just 45 more days of work, then I've got the trip paid for, enough to pay my school loans while I'm gone, and my Eurail pass...

I can't even drink since I'm in the middle of a shrink-down cycle in my workouts. Gotta look GOOD in Europe, after all.

I'm boring tonight, too.

I have to work at 0500 the next morning, so likely won't go to the party my friend invited me to. Not sure, though. Maybe I'll nap in the afternoon so I can go out later...we'll see. Or maybe I'll be really boring and hang out in the TP chat room and see if there are any others as bad as me...

Hey Dio...spiffy new avatar! GrrrrRRROOWWLLL!!!

I was invited for a dinner at a friend's place, but I don't know the other people that will be there so I'm not sure what to expect...And we went out yesterday and at 1AM the party was over for them (when it was only beginning for me!!!)...So I plan to take off to my bro's bar or another party if I'm too bored...Heheh!

Going out to a bash at swank retro hotel in LA with a bunch of my girlfriends. My $65 ticket will provide for a live swing jazz band, burlesque dancers and the bubbly. it's kind of a black-tie affair so I'm excited cause I get to get all dolled up!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

i'm just going to chill with my boyfriend and another couple we're really close with. they're making dinner and we're bringing dessert and champagne. we're supposed to play nintendo (the old 8 bit one) until the ball drops - either that or go to the movies - maybe kind of cheesy, but i want to see the house of sand and fog.

shit, we thought about going out but the minimum price per person for a nice restaurant/club downtown is $140! fuck that! we decided just to stay safe and stay in. haha, i'm excited because i don't have to dress up.

i'll make sure to smoke a fattie for all the punks at midnight! cheers!!

Look's like I'm the Lone Ranger tonight

I may hit up 7-11 to grab a bottle of red wine since I'm all out, but I'm just feeling way too lazy to get my ass out of the pad.
An hour and fourty-five minutes to go til the clock hit's '04 and I'm sitting in from of my pc ,chillin at the Holiday Inn....

Guess I'll ring in the new year working on the site

!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, TPUNKS!

I spent my new years on the Coromandel Peninsula on the East coast of the North Island in NZ.

2 days camping with my family at Opoutere:

For those who ever come to NZ there is a YHA just a minute down the road from where we camped. Check it out:

I then spent 3 days with my friends in Waihi for NYE

Had a few days of rain but the sun came out the on NYE and its been perfect.

All in all a really nice holiday. Only problem is I have to go back to work on Monday

Hope everybody had a nice break

For good ol new years, I reached my goal. We went to a local club, and by time Dick Clark counted down to 0 I was drunk. I just wanted to leave 2003 in a blur. Welcome 2004 in, for a better year. We had an after party afterwards so I got home about 10a.m. slept a couple hours and went to work. So far this year has been much better. I just hope it stays the same.
