10 yrs ago today...

Califlorida · December 2009

i was 21, home from college and hooking up with an old flame for NYE. (whoa, big mistake!) everyone was Y2-Krazy. me and my friends were really kinda hoping it was true, for the sake of anarchy and chaos.

we got lost on the way to a party and ended up counting down the new year as we pulled into the driveway of said party. then me and old flame made out like crazy and i drank until i puked.

your turn!

JessMil10 · December 2009

I was 13 years old and headed to a party at my neighbors house with my parents. My parents had built a huge pantry in the basement and stocked it full of food just in case Y2K was real and I remember everyone holding their breath as the clock struck Midnight.

That's about it, lol

weebaby · December 2009

10 years ago i was celebrating my then husbands birthday - HA! i was a newlywed and his bday is on NYE.

boy life has changed.... and for the better! lol

djandkellen · December 2009

I sat at home with my mother, more than likely waiting for the ball to drop (if I even made it that far)!

I was only 17.

exhausted_bride · December 2009

I was getting ready to celebrate NY's in a fancy downtown Seattle hotel for some ball.... and I love the Y2K kit we got in the room.. bottled water, snacks, emergency instructions. Oy...

jenifairies · December 2009

I was 15. My best good friend had a sleepover (with boys!!! - don't tell my mom) after a dance and we stayed up all night. I remember I made this one poor kid sit on the porch with me and watch the sunrise. Freezing to death. LOL

That was such a fun night. I have so many pictures. Sigh. This is making me feel old and making me want to call up said old friends!

Pacheco825 · December 2009

I was also 13 and we had a small thing at my parents house. They also stocked up like crazy on canned goods and bottled water lol

southernbelle82 · December 2009

I was a senior in high school. I was rolling my eyes at all the Y2K crap. My boyfriend, his parents and little brother all came to our house and we ate and set off fireworks. It was a fun, low key night

danandkelly · December 2009

I met dh at a NYE party, I ended up getting totally wasted (drinking and then going in the hot tub is a bad idea) but it all worked out well I guess.

Stilts · December 2009

I was on a ski trip in VT with a bunch of college friends. NYE itself was a bust, my friend's boyfriend's sister drank too much and ended up puking everywhere and we had waaay too many people crashing in our room. There were guys snoring in surround sound and I had to share a bed with two other people. I'm a high maintenance sleeper, this did not work for me at all.

Connors10 · December 2009

I know I ended up in a bath tub...somewhere...I think I had one of those party hats on...hmmm.

mary5198 · December 2009

10 years ago today - I was celebrating my 2nd NYE with DH

I can't believe that this is our 12th one together!

MrsTotty · December 2009

I was 18 years old, home from 1st semester of college ... and pretty much babysat a house full of seniors (one of which was my best friend) and cleaned up all their vomit after they drank too much.

Fun times.

ElatedMom2B · December 2009

Same as Mary above - this is my 12th with my hubby. We were at the beach (in New Jersey - and no, not the Jersey Shore!! LOL). He worked down there for several years and that's where we met actually. The thing that I remember about it most was that it was a really weird and balmy night - I think it was about 60 degrees and really foggy as we walked to the bars. I remember it being a really fun nite. My how things changed! I am going to have to go find my photo album from this nite so DH and I can take a look at it tonite before we pass out...probably around 9:30 or so! LOL

Happy 2010~!

Temp778367875008010 · December 2009

I was 20 and dating a guy I dated on and off in college (big mistake there too). I went with two of my closest friends to one of their boyfriends apartments in Chicago. There were some crazy people there, but that made it all the better. We went down to Navy Pier, which was crazy and cold and so much fun. My friend's boyfriend (now DH) worked for the local power company and he was so worried that Y2K would actually happen and he'd be called in to work. He was so happy when nothing happened, just like the rest of us.

He lived right in downtown Chicago and on our walk home I remember seeing three girls in a tiny little car completely buck naked. They had to be chilly.

mabst196 · December 2009

I was home on break from my freshman year of college celebrating my third new years with DH. We always had parties at a friend's parents house. 12 years for us too.

violetvirgo · December 2009

i was 17, at a high school party with my bff and a whole bunch of people i didn't really know (i was in college at 16). we played drunk driver and i ended up calling my mom to pick me up b/c my bff was barfing. awesome.

megontoast · December 2009

i was 21 and honestly.. I can't remember what I was doing. Most likely I was with my douchebag boyfriend and smoking lots of pot.

prettypinkypeonies · December 2009

I was in highschool. My parents had a party. At midnight, my dad switched off the breaker in the house so all the power went off. We started freaking, until we heard my dad cackling downstairs.. LOL. He's such a goof .

YouAreMyILoveYou · December 2009

I was 16 and working at a movie theatre. I had a super strict curfew and had to be in by midnight, so I rang in the new year at home with my folks. I've never been big on celebrating new years... I'll probably be in bed at midnight tonight!

ougrad1 · December 2009

Gawd-got ALL dressed up and went to The Belo Mansion in Dallas with the man I just knew I was going to marry, laughed at all our couple friends who were fighting and went home and you got it, had a huge fight. lol-

LaLaSweets · December 2009

I was 22 years old. I remember the frenzy over this new year. Dh and I recently moved in together and partied at a friends house

KittyCatBio · December 2009

went to a party at a friends, her little brother called and asked if he could bring his friend over (who was drunk) b/c he wanted to see me. We had made out a little at friends wedding and he was pretty enamoured of me. He ran in the door and came up to me and was promptly tongue tied and flustered and left shortly thereafter. He emailed me a couple weeks later and asked me out on a date.

I now call him DH.

MrsVictoriaB · December 2009

I was 15 and living in Norway at the time. It was freezing out and me and my best friend at the time went downtown (small safe town for teens) and she wore a bikini under a fur coat. Haha that's the only memorable thing about that day since I was so young nothing exciting happened

LilMissLadybug · December 2009

I was 16 and stayed up with my friend and little watching movies.

philosoraptor · December 2009

I 19 and was a sophomore in college and getting ready to go out and have fun! My mom was freaking out because she thought my car would die at midnight (a la War of the Worlds) and I'd be stuck wherever I happened to me. Idiot. I hadn't met DH yet either - whoa!

destea1 · December 2009

OMG, can I even remember? I was 18... and I'm pretty sure still living w/ my parents, with 4-5 friends over and we had a little bit of alcohol, everyone was crashing at my house, and we played games and watched movies all night. I smoked my first and last cigarette (a clove, and I still hated it) that night. Huh!

Soter1 · December 2009

I was 18 and home from my first semester in college. DH (then BF) went to a traditional hometown party with the good ole boys, I remember being very hopeful something exciting was going to happen at midnight, then I don't remember much else! I think there was a snow storm and a dress boot incident....boy how times change!

Mrs.N_2005 · December 2009

I was 19 and got a hotel room with my boyfriend (DH!)! We got take-out and watched NYE celebrations from around the world. I was nervous about Y2K but was trying to act like it didn't bother me. We drank champagne, kissed each other goodnight and he slept on the couch Wink

clayswife · December 2009

I was 19 and on a pubcrawl with some girlfriends (19 is legal drinking age here). Surprisingly, I don't remember anything about it

Gin*In*TN · December 2009

I was 21. Married to a computer programmer that was on-call "just in case". I think we went to his parents' house, but I can't really remember. I've blocked most of that time period from my memory.

mrszimm · December 2009

I was 16 and got drunk off of Zima's (LOL) and beer at a friend's house. I remember yelling out Happy New Year while swinging my beer up, and spilling it all over my jeans. Yeah......my dad was really unhappy w/ me when I came home.

fIowerchild · December 2009

We went to a big party....everyone was waiting for the world to end. I was 26 years old.

missamy713 · December 2009

I was only sixteen and at home with my mom and sisters. I got a drunken phone call from DH (who was only my friend at the time) and his buddies. This would become our ritual for the next four years.

ETA: The drunken phone calls were the ritual. I don't know if that was very clear.

babygroves · December 2009

Like Totty, I was 18 and home from my 1st semester of College. Ate Subway for dinner on our way to a party with my boyfriend (now my DH).While at the party I drank and smoked way too much which caused me to puke all over our friends driveway while sitting in the passenger seat(peppercinis and onions out my nose...not fun) . Then watched everyone light fireworks in the bed of a pickup. Called my parents and they came and picked us up. No drinking and driving! What a night! LOL!

IckyThump · December 2009

I was 22, in college and had been dating DH for about 2 weeks. We went to a party, I got a little tipsy and we made out at midnight. That's all I can remember.

franciscaz · December 2009

I was 18 and a senior in HS. I went to the Sun Bowl to see Oregon Duck vs the Minnesota Golden Gofers. Afterwards I went to a NYE dance with my high school sweetheart.

Buckets of Moonbeams · December 2009

I was 13. I was at my grandma and papa's house with all my cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings. It was so much fun. I was also kind of hoping something cool would happen at Y2K, like the big ball in Times Square would spin off it's pole and land in the crowd or something.

beachlovinbride · December 2009

I was 25, recently un-engaged and partying like a rockstar! I ended up d/t Minneapolis at a party hooking up with a boy that I had an on/off relationship(friends w/bennies)for the next 2yrs. I always wonder what happened to him...

jennessey · December 2009

DH and I were dating for two months and celebrated NYE with his friends at his apartment. I was 21 and got completely sloshed.
