Ten years ago...

Were you partying like it was 1999? Worried about Y2K? 

I can't believe it was a decade ago.

(Btw, totally stole this topic from the Nest on FB). How did you celebrate 99/00 NYE?

Re: Ten years ago...

  • It was my 21st birthday-LOL! My parents, brother and I went to a nice dinner event at a local restaurant, then I drove to a club and partied like a rock star! I can't believe they let me drive looking back, but I am glad they did. I used to be a dancing machine, haha!!
  • I had a low-key NYE with my family, and then flew out to see DH (at home on Christmas break) on NY's day for dirt cheap in a deserted airport because everyone else had been afraid to fly.

    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • A swing band was playing so a friend, her (eventual) ex-H, and I met up with a few others for a night of dancing.  Then we all went out and watched fireworks.

  • I was 18. I went along with my then boyfriend and some other guys to Dover, Delaware, where they put on the city's fireworks display. I vaguely remember standing around the fireworks (way too close for my comfort) thinking I was going to catch on fire.

  • I was 13. I went to my BFFs house bc her parents were having a party. I kissed her cousin, Eric, at midnight, and then never saw him again.

    I'm friends with everybody in this office. We're all best friends - I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late, and start having dentist appointments that aren't dentist appointments. And that's when it is nice to let them know that you can beat them up.
  • I was 21 and living in New York City, so of course I was partying hard. Saw the ball drop, realized that mass hysteria wasn't going to happen, and just roamed the NYC streets with friends dropping in on random parties we came across.

  • It was my senior year of high school and I had just turned 18, I honestly have no idea what I did but I'm guessing I spent the evening at a house party with my HS bf and the normal group of friends we always hung out with.  Most likely we drank Boone's Farm wine, did shots of Apple Puckers and thought we were so cool.

    YES!  Ahhh, high school.

  • C and I have been having such a hard time getting excited for NY's because we're both thinking back to 10 years ago and how much fun we had!

    My friend had a party where she asked us all to get dressed in black tie dresses. I drank tons and tons and danced a lot. And spent the next day unable to move until like, 4pm because I was so hungover. Good times.

    This year we're going for dinner at 6:30 and then to our friends' house who don't want to do anything noisy. Sad.

  • My NYE 10 years ago is oddly similar to my NYE plans this year.

    1999/2000 -- During the day, I stayed in bed late into the morning, watched TV countdowns, and played on the computer. Around 7:00 p.m., two of my friends called and asked to come over. We got dressed up in party hats and glittery shirts and played board games until midnight.

    2009/2010 -- I'm still in bed and playing on the computer (thank you lap top!). I'll probably flip on the TV soon and see what year-end countdowns E! and VH1 have in store. Around 7:00 p.m., DH and I are going to make dinner and play board games until midnight.

  • Ok here's where my used-to-be-a-geek comes out!  I was a junior in HS and went to Miami as I marched in the Orange Bowl Parade...I played the clarinet in the band.  That night there was a huge party at the hotel for all of the bands in the parade....it was like a wedding - a big meal and LOTS of dancing.  I wasn't worried about Y2K.  I had a blast!

  • I was with 2 friends and I was the only with a license.  We spent the night at one of the girl's houses and she convinced me to drive her to her boyfriends.  I sat next to my other friend on a couch all night long as she was making out with her boyfriend.  Classic night.
