I can't believe it's already been 10 years since the Y2K fiasco. what did you do for NYE in '99?
I went on a last-minute trip to vegas with friends - we ended up somehow getting into a high-rollers party at a hotel (I can't remember which one!). it was super fun, even if I didn't have anyone to makeout with at midnight.

Re: stolen poll: NYE 1999
My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
I was dating a guy and we went to his friends house with about 10 kids. I got stuck with a kid on my lap all night long.
It didn't last very long after that.
We (STBXH & I) spent the evening with friends. It was a little anti-climatic because the year before (our first together) we were in NYC. However, we got up and went to Mt Bonnell to watch the sunrise. That was phenomenal!!
The one thing I loved most about NYE in '99 was the international coverage of ringing in the New Year across the world. I wish they did that every year.
I was dating XH, and we went to a party at the home of some friends of his. I vaguely recall getting into some sort of minor argument with him towards the end of the evening (the post-midnight end of the evening) and him yelling at me in front of his friends.
Hmm, how 'bout that!

ha!!
Scandalous! Hahaha.
My mom's family had a Family Reunion! We all came to Puerto Rico and had a big party in an event's hall and rang in 2000! It was my senior year of high school!
And for your viewing pleasure:
hmmmm. new years 1999... I was in the 10th grade and was 15 years old.
I have no clue what I was doing that night. Probably went to my (then) bf's house and hung out drinking sprite. I was a good, good, girl and there was nothing scandalous about that night, for sure.

Nothing spectacular. I was in college at the time and my group of friends went to a party a little after midnight. No one to kiss. Not too eventful.
:-)
I was a junior in high school and went to a party. Shortly after midnight, a pipe burst in the basement and water was everywhere, and for a moment we thought it was Y2K. A guy was yelling, "The Russians are here! The Russians are here!"
And a really really hot senior kissed me at midnight and I closed my eyes and saw fireworks. But that may have been my buzz....

I was a software troubleshooter for a computer company. I spent NYE working, maing sure all systems were up and running as each time zone hit midnight. It suuuuucked at the time, but I guess it's kinda cool looking back. I mean, we were basically waiting to see if the sky was falling.
Dude. I'm OLD compared to most of you.

Right there with you lady. I was reading these other posts and was shocked at how young everyone is. I will turn the big 35 in January. I can't get over how many people were still in high school...
Ugh, I feel old now too!
I was downtown Austin - it was CRAZY, but lots of fun!!
Meh- mine was lame. I was a Dr in high school at a party with probably 10 people. I remember being happy though bc my BFF was there and it was that phase where boys didn't really matter, it was all about the parties and fun.
I just deleted the second paragraph. LSS, I slept in the back seat of a truck (by myself and happily).
Yes, I was that girl that was always at a party and never knew where she was.
Awesome! I love pictures with posts!
Impressive!
right there with ya!
Talk about feeling old!!
I was passed out on the beach, I felt the wave splashing me, I was feeling cold, that made me wake up! I had passed out on my bathroom floor, the bathtub was over flowing, it was middle of the january first, I couldn't remember how I got home, the last thing I remember is that we were in a club in el paso and we were so happy that the sky didn't fall off when the clock turned 00:00, 2000.
