Happy new year half an hour ago from Britain! See you guys in four and a half hours! ('cept the Aussies, who already beat us to it)

One good thing about running a firework shoppe: what you don't sell, you can use! Especially fun when giant rockets go haywire and explode three meters before you...

Whoahhh, okay. Fireworks kept annoyingly going off outside my house while I was trying to talk to Ingrid on the phone, that's all I know. They're probably terrifying my dog somewhere over in North Wales as we speak.

Yeah, Happy New Year all (a little under an hour ago), from North Wales!

And while there's fireworks going off here, I'm not Shiri's dog, nor am I terrified!

Let's hope there's lots of this mixed with some of this . And let's not forget some of this , and hopefully there'll be none of this !

HAPPY NEW YEARS from Las Vegas, we just hit the mark a couple minutes ago.

I wish all happy things for all of you, and hope you do not die and such, because that would be bad.

Tis sad, I cannot see the Casino Fireworks from here, but, oh well. I shall manage.

Spent New Years alone too.. god I'm a loser.

The typically fantastic Sydney fireworks were a bore this year. Oh well, still better than anything anyone else gets

But.. but.. disco ball!

Ok, yeah. They looked kind of lame.

Didn't the disco ball suck? I only saw it on tv, but it sucked there.

Yeah, Moulin Rouge was better than the fireworks. *hugs TV*

Tell me about it. My dogs very nearly ate each other in sheer fright.

Yeah, it's even weirder given that my dog's a cockerspaniel. Lightning I can understand since the static irritates their fur, but when a dog can take gunfire going off 10 foot from her repeatedly without flinching you'd think she could cope with fireworks or a friggin' cork being pulled out of a bottle.

Awww, that's cute!

(Boo, hiss, hunting, etc.)

Yes, because dissecting rats is so much better. Don't start that anyway.

Pff. Ok, fine. I won't start if you don't.

Again.

Fine.
