>What are you watching/playing tonight? Will you be doing anything else?
I may listen to some music this evening on my headphones, but mostly to drown out noisy neighbours. Enjoying Altın Gün at the moment.
>What are you eating?
Got some veggie chilli for dinner and using new years as an excuse to eat a bunch of junk like popcorn, chocolate, sweets.
>How come you're alone/not celebrating? (if you want to share)
I don't see the point in celebrating new years, i don't like parties and enjoy being alone. The only thing that bothers me is all the noise people make (I'm a massive grump)
>Are you looking forward to 2023 or nah?
Nah. I am looking forward to the holiday season being over though and getting back to my usual routine, somewhat.

I spent last NYE with a friend for the first time in a while and I loved it but we had a falling out this year and now I'm alone again. We're both working through it though and I'm not upset that I'm alone like I used to be. I'm tripping balls on acid rn so that might be why.

I'm fine spending NYE alone, what bothers me is how others react to it. Having to hide that I have no plans because they'll give me a pitiful look. At the moment I'm not in the mood to hang out with anyone or stand around drinking pretending I'm so hyped for 2023. If my life is sorted out by the next NYE, I'll want to be around others and celebrate. But not this year.
No. 1459298
>>1459293100%. i always spend NYE alone and used to lie to people that i was doing something just so they wouldn't pity/ask questions. i just don't like parties and socialising, there is nothing sad or worrying about that.
earlier this month, a co-worker told me she was spending christmas alone with her cat. i asked her "do you enjoy christmas alone?" and she said she was pleased to get a non-pitying response. she felt completely neutral about christmas alone. alone doesn't always mean lonely.

I pulled down my blinds and blasting music. This year I won't be looking at the fireworks, I hate the sounds anyways and they just remind me that I'm spending (another) NYE alone. I'm not sad about it, it's kind of whatever at this point but I don't need it rubbed in tbh. I'm making dinner and after, I'm gonna play some games, maybe draw or do something creative on my puter. Oh, and I made a lemon pig since I found out it's a thing from another nonny. Hope my next year is a bit better than the last, and I wish you all the same.

Fireworks seriously trigger me. Not just dealing with the sound myself but their actual existence. All that fucking noise just to see some lights in the sky that last 2 seconds, but cause hours of anxiety for animals, humans and particularly those with PTSD. Pointless and irritating.
Meanwhile, I adopted a cat 6 months ago and she is the first pet I've ever had that doesn't give a shit about fireworks or loud noises in general. But she is also missing an ear so maybe that helps, in this one scenario.

I might spend it alone, but I could also meet a few people at a meetup event, I'll know a few of them decently well. It would be nice to go for 2 or so hours, then leave at 11 but I suppose I'll either go til 1 or not go at all. I broke it off with my FWB last night because new year new me, who I made plans with, and it'd be nice to kiss someone else. I hate clubs etc which is where they plan to go for midnight itself, before that a quiet bar.
Alternatively I could go to an overlook of the nearby city and watch the fireworks. Cons of that is it's very near said FWBs house and I might give in and go get eaten out, and I need to go through a forest which is pretty spooky at midnight.
Lastly I could just stay inside. It's my first year without a close friend or partner to spend it with so I'm a little lost. Last year I spent it with my bff in my home country just watching the odd fireworks and we were in some random suburb when midnight struck, it felt magic in its own way. It's not so bad to spend it alone, I wish I didn't get so keyed up about these milestone events. I've never been able to treat these days as normal days, like I MUST make a big deal of the solstices, halloween, easter, my birthday, new years etc.

Not technically alone since I'm spending it with my brother and our cat, but I still feel some kind of loneliness since I spent some previous NYE with friends and I had so much fun. There was a group of people I often celebrated events with but it got harder with Covid, and after shit happened I think I've become persona non grata. The events of the ongoing decade have turned me cynical and I'm not looking forward to the upcoming years, so I really don't feel like celebrating what's going to hit us.
But that's fine for now, at least the evening will be nice, my cat is cuddling against my leg while my brother is cooking pizza, we'll get drunk while playing video games and watch RLM videos.

I'm eating a bunch of fast food, smoking weed, and I just opened a bottle of Golden Monkey.
I was invited to a few gatherings but I like waking up early on New Years Day and having a productive start to the year. A little part of me wishes I went out and FOMO but at the same time I'm probably having just as much fun by myself and I'm saving money. New Years is expensive.

happy new year, nonnies! still early evening where i'm at, but a lot of you are already celebrating.
>What are you watching/playing tonight? Will you be doing anything else?
i decided to stay in for the entire day and i'm just playing morrowind/tes legends and a couple otome games in between meals. also watching a nostalgic nye comedy special from my home country.
>What are you eating?
i made crepes this morning and i'm also having a festive salad and baked chicken with cheesy potatoes. and obviously tangerines and lots of chocolate.
>How come you're alone/not celebrating?
i am a giga introvert and live in a country where nye isn't widely celebrated. couldn't go home this year because of politics, but it's not the first time i get to stay in by myself. i did some video chats with family last night and ordered gifts for them from an online store, so we're still connected.
>Are you looking forward to 2023 or nah?
kind of, but i don't think it will be much better than 2022. i have some milestones planned, but nothing grandiose will likely happen. i just hope it doesn't suck as much as this year, for all of us who got fucked over by corona/war/economy/general 2022 shenanigans.
