And already, the noise of partying has been going on for hours. Firecrackers, loud music from a block or two away, drums pounding, yelling, shouting...[ December 31, 2005, 12:59 PM: Message edited by: quidscribis ]

Everyone should post here when it gets to be "New Year's" in their area.

It's only 9:46 in the morning here. When the new year hits, I'll be just getting home from work.

Catch the gecko, tie it to a string, and lure the frog out for a tasty snack!

Um, Hamson, the frog is about an inch long, maybe. The gecko, however, is about six.

(I'm really hoping those sounds I'm hearing aren't firecrackers hitting our house.)

Hung around outside from 22:45, knew virtually no-one. Called a friend, he thought I was drunk, but I was just a little depressed.

Well, the loneliness, the depression, the underage drinking leading to violence and dysfunctional family relations, with a small, pathetic hope for something better. It pretty much had everything.

The firecrackers continued all night, as did the guy with the loudspeaker. Church bells started ringing again at 4:30, and the Catholic church started in with their singing at about the same time. Then the Catholic priest started preaching. I can barely open my eyes. I want more sleep.... [/whine]

It is cute, isn't it? And there's no need for a "real" smiley, it's just perfect!

Oh, I know. I've seen my friends use it before. It's almost everywhere. But you used it here, inspiring my, "hey, that's really cute" thought.
