....when you find it exciting that you can stay up late to check out POTN because you don't have to work tomorrow :) Now that's a way to celebrate New Years Eve ;)
Happy New Years everyone!

When I was young and foolish, an "all nighter" was partying all night, or studying all night before an exam. Now, an "all nighter" means I get to sleep all night without having to get up to pee.

Ah, the joys of one's "late youth."

when you spend New Year's Eve searching for the right camera back pack on line because you have a coupon that you have to use before midnight. Then when you find what you are looking for at a great price you say to yourself, "That was a great way to spend the evening!"

When you're sitting in your study and you realize that you need something that's in the basement. You go to the basement and, by the time you get there, you have forgotten what you went down to get. You go back to the study and, by the time you get there, you've forgotten what you were doing that caused you to go to the basement in the first place :(:cry:.
