Umm, well, we were going to, and it was just a little off the countdown, and then the next thing we knew, we'd missed it. XD

I was over at a friend's place just chilling out in the backyard so we just listened to the count-down on the radio

That reminded me of something like, "I was going to conquer the world but got distracted by something shiny" XD

Oooh that must be so exciting XD I really can't imagine someone doing that
As for me, well I counted down with a friend of mine (doing it in minutes) and had an amusing time since her clock was faster than my clock XD heheh then we paused and went, "you feel any different?" "no..." "me neither..."
And I stayed up later like I always do in the holidays.There was a ball dropping?
OH and my friend said something quite amusing so I'd like to share it with you

What would be really amusing and intriguing would be to start at the first part of the world that hits New Year's (12am that is), and run across the time zones (pretty damn quickly ), so that for a period of 24 hours you would be permanently at 12am New Year's Day. Do you get it?

I did, I waited till a minute before midnight before I rang you.
Therefore Andrew, I missed counting it down with my Dad and Stepmum. :/ *shakes fist*
I'm sorry, I won't bother ringing you again then. :/

Yea. I was watching the Conan O'Brien's Central time zone countdown with Cae on AIM. And then we screamed HAPPY NEW YEAR! at each other.

We turned on the Conan O'Brien's Central time zone countdown at the party I was at and counted down with that.

5 minutes
"Oh wait....that's a tradition?"
2 minutes
*kissed*

Yup, I did. My dad, brother, and I watched the ball drop in Times Square on TV. I also attempted to count down in a chatroom with my friends, but my computer shut down the second it hit midnight.

I was playing NQ2.
Thu Jan 06, 2005 9:01 pm
Yes I did! I was up until 2:00 with my friends partying!

I was at a party for new years, but I wanted to see my boyfriend, so about 20 minutes to midnight I drove to his friend's house to pick him up, and I arrived at her house at exactly midnight
