Odd that there's no topic about this yet, despite our fanatical followers. So, 2004 is here, which holds great significance for some of us, and will absolutely confuse the rest of us.

Anybody got any New Year's Resolutions they'd like to share?

------------------
It really sucks to have a boring sig. You know, the kind that drones on forever and never really says anything. I try my best to never have one of those. Every time I make a new sig I try to get it to be a truly outstanding sig. Some people have sigs like that. With neat (EVula) links and stuff. Witty quotes are good too. But then some people have really, really, boring sigs that you'd die before reading more of. They just go on, and on, and on...those sigs really annoy me. I mean, they say nothing and nobody really cares anyway! I pity the people who have those.

My new years was mush too drab. Me and my best friend just hung out at his house, drinking sake (well, that was really just me). We did make a GIANT bonfire in his backyard, and then we threw dead mice and rabbits into it that one of his dog killed. Oh, and we swung around very sharp swords for about an hour, whilst I continued my sake binge. On second thought, it actually wasn't such a bad new years.......

At midnight I was awoken by the lovely sound of thousands of rounds of ammo being emptied into the air all over the city (Albuquerque tradition, all police officers are ordered to take cover at 2455hrs and stay parked under overpasses, etc. until no further shooting can be heard). I live on the 10th story of a highrise, so I retreated into my bathroom (as it has no windows that I can be shot through) as I figure that someday some drunken idiot will decide that my building looks like a good target for celebratory discharging of his weapon.

I went to work on the first as collecting rent and painting newly vacant apartments outweigh the benefits of being lazy for a 24hr period.

You know, Down Under we have these things called fireworks which we shoot up into the air. I bet they explode with a bigger bang than your bullets. Posted Image

Me and a friend of mine were playing halo, and we were in the library, anyway, we found out we could get into this pit, that is supposed to kill you if you fall in, and if you have an oversheild, you survive the drop. So for about half an hour we had a total war down in the pit, fighting each other whenever we got respawned.
So at midnight, we stood directly across from each other, and threw as many plasma grenades as we could onto each other's feet. We timed it to go off at midnight. so, just as the ball was dropping in NYC, my poor character was being tossed high out of the pit by the detonation of seven grenades
(three plasma, then just as I reached the apex of my plasma propelled flight, all four of my fragmentation grenades went off, propelling me out of the pit. It was awesome)

We get our fireworks from Wyoming. Anything is legal there.

I was in Switzerland (I will post my pictures when they develop), and you could buy professional grade (i.e- the stuff that my city government buys in california for the 4th of July. Huge stuff) fireworks from the store for cheap. It was rad. I didn't get any shots of those, though.
