New Years is a special day.
A day where we in different timezones can, by using the Internet, break space and time and speak to one another from different years.

I know.
6 and a half hours to go.
Hey Groddil, when you get there, tell us what it's like in 2017.

Hey Groddil, when you get there, tell us what it's like in 2017.
Still a while to go for me.
9 hours left for me
Ten hours for me.
Two and a half for me.
9am, January 1st, 2017.
GRODDIL, WHAT'S IT LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE?
HAVE THEY DEVELOPED FLYING CARS YET?
What about aliens, have they found Earth yet? Was there a twenty-third Redwall book after all? Is space travel a thing now? What about time travel? What's it like?!
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. It is the 41st 2nd millennium, For more than a hundred centuries few hours, the Emperor of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of His inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Man for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that He may never truly die.Yet even in His deathless state, the Emperor continues His eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in His name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the Tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat to humanity from aliens, heretics, mutants -- and far, far worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
...Wow.
And everyone thought 2016 was bad.
so it's 2017
exactly the same as last year
yay

This is perfect.
My girlfriend a good friend of mine is at a wedding dancing. My mom is "at a party playing games." There's people watching fireworks in my town- there's a big display by the bridge, I think. I'm alone and lonely. :(
Hopefully 2017 won't suck though. I think the odds of that are at least decent.
Ah well, sorry to be a downer. Happy New Year!
5 Minutes till 2017!!!
EDIT: Well, it's 2017.
Happy New Year!
have a year
Happy 2017!!

Mm. Happy New Year.
You wanna know something great and astonishing and magical about 2017?
Spoiler
It feels exactly like 2016. [sarcasm]What a letdown.[/sarcasm]
I think it's slightly cool that the New Year begins on a Sunday this time around. New year, new day, new week, new month.
Happy New Year!

True!
Happy New Year, everyone. Many things are out of our control, but let's do our part to make 2017 the best it can be.
Just think of all the memes that will spawn this year.
Memes we don't even know of.
Memes that could be great.
I'm trying to play game of war...
Happy late new year everyone. ;D
You're a little early ;D
For 2018. It's far too late for 2017 ;D
*Presses 'Revive' button*
The new year is coming 'round,
And I hope this last was fun;
In coming hours the world will sound,
And proclaim, 'It has begun'.
I thank you all for letting me
Speak in couplet rhyme,
And despite what this year has us see,
Let's have a grand old time.
Holy smokes, did you make that up, Verdie?
Yes. I would have preferred a more complicated meter, but I'm not a poet.
Ah, well, no matter.
*Points finger guns at Verdie* Eeeeeyyy... That's really good!
Thanks ^-^
Two more days 'til New Years...
Two and a half hours, you mean. I'll be asleep by then so I guess I should wish you a happy new year now.
Cue the stuck in last year jokes! (in roughly fourteen and a half hours, for me)

You don't stay up for it? Rude.
You mean she didn't stay up for it. It's four in the morning, January 1st 2020 for her.
Eight and a half more hours...
Two hours and five minutes
Roughly 8 hours...
*two
Happy New Year! (at the time of edit)
3 hours, 36 minutes remaining in 2019...
4 hours, 13 minutes remaining in 2019...
HAPPY NEW YEAR WOOOOOOOO
HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYY NNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful fun times, my sagely bright-lit fluff-full friendos. I hope everyone here has enjoyed their long stay. *Grins with joy(s)*
Happy New Year everyone.
Happy New Year, y'all.
So, what did you guys do for new years?
Stayed up 'till midnight eating pretzels and cheese dip, drank some fake Rosé wine (aka sparkling juice) to ring in the new year, then went and crashed.
Lit some fireworks on the 31st, had the birthday party on the first, and not much else.
Birthday party? Do you mean a New Year's party?
Birthday. My sis was born on January 1st, 2000.
Some friends invited us to their house for a get-together along with several other families, just like last year. There were maybe... five or six families this time and a quantity of kids (every family was a homeschool family). They have a huge, gorgeous house with an indoor pool. 'Twas fun. I mainly snacked on stuff and skimmed through some books they had. Then we watched the ball drop and went home.

Better than 31st December, I suppose. For FIDE anyway (I have found my birthday very useful as people born from September-December, even if they're in the same school year as me, have to play up an age group since FIDE goes by calendar year). But if I get combined Christmas and birthday presents, then somebody born just a week after Christmas, and therefore before me, will as well. Plus it kind of ruins it if everybody else is partying as well.
Yeah...I don't think she has to worry about FIDE age groups...
Probably not.
Did any of ya'll make New Years resolutions?
No.
No.
Sadly, the fireworks were cancelled where I was for New Years.
Nope.
Well, I mean to write more, but that will probably be impossible.

Yeah to get my life back on track. and yet this year started off on a really bad note at least there's 361 more days to do it....
Welcome back :)
This year will turn out better, even though some things will become worse.

Exams and all that, added to MOV, ARRemastered... the only thing I can churn out will probably be Clearpath. Don't worry. I'm finishing off ARR.

Yep. Let my story sit for at least a month and then go over it again before I post it and learn more locksmithing stuff.
Yeah, letting a story sit for a bit is always a good idea. Every time I do that, when I come back to it I'm like "Wow, this is awful!" and start fixing stuff ;D
Yeah, that's the idea. I kind of tried to do that last year but I got a little bit ahead of myself. This will be different.
