Happy New Year to all. I actually quit smoking (again) on Christmas, so i don’t really have a resolution this year. I have to say Nicorette is freaking expensive. Maybe I’ll go for being more patient. I do have issues there.
Seems so weird to be in the “normal” part of the XE year. Looking forward to new stuff though.
Darn January and Febuary…
Invader Norbert, Hmmmm, haven’t found any others yet but I haven’t looked either. I’ll get right on it.
Mystie Happy Birthday and WELCOME TO ADULTHOOD. Yeah, yeah, 18 is adult blah blah. NOT TRUE. 24 is the gateway into the REAL adult life. Go ahead and start an IRA and pack up for FL.
These next few months are crucial for Matt, Erik, and me to see if we can NOT join 27 club started by Jones, Hendrix, Morrison, and Cobain. :scared: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_Club

Yeah, I quit a few months ago, but I’m totally counting it as resolution number one since it’s still harder than a motherfucka. I’m too cheap for Nicorette, so I went through a lot of Red Vines & played cell phone games when the urge hit…I’ve worn down the screen from playing so often

I should’ve learned from your Jager-fueled post not to go crazy with that stuff. Great party, horrrrrible hangover. Happy New Year!
So… why are there still articles on the front page that I remember reading 3 years ago? You’re making me sad that it’s not Halloween.

Happy New Year to all. I had a Jones’ Holiday Pack party last night. I think I messed it up by drinking them chilled. I did pretty much gag on the Turkey and Gravy, but the Pepto wasn’t bad.

I actually emailed Jones last year and asked them how to serve their holiday pack sodas. They told me room temperature. Not that that helped any

Happy new year…and sad me… I didn’t get to read the conclusion to the advent calendar. Searched for it on your website, but could not find the current one. HELP?!?!?! I need my denoument (or however you spell that)

Happy New Year everyone (a day later). Is anyone else working while running on 3 hours of sleep [since last night was the last night of my vacation and it was impossible to fall asleep at a decent hour] like I am?

Happy Belated New Year!! The eve was actually quiet for me; my boyfriend got food poisoning somehow (but I am CERTAIN it was the KFC he got for lunch – I haven’t eaten there since I saw the PETA video back in ’04) and has been sick since Saturday. Waking up yesterday morning without the headache and the bar stink… it was kinda nice

I’m going on about 4 hours. Still groggy.

One of the great gifts I got from the folks this year was a mattress foam for my boyfriend and I’s bed….it is HEAVEN- it’s called a “memory foam” and it indents and absorbs your body like a hug. I have not woken up before noon since we put it on the bed.
On New Year’s Day I had 5 people wake up at my house in various degrees of ‘hangover-ness’ and I made 12 cups of coffee and Pop Tarts for everyone and I was a hero. I like starting the year off as a hero.

Ugh, Disney Princesses. I love how they leave out so many of the REAL princesses (real royalty) and include the ‘popular movie’ heroines instead (i.e. Belle and Cinderella, who are not royalty by birth)

Mary Mary I completely understand. It seems as though most people are half awake today.
Good day, and Happy New Year to my fellow X-E denizens! Nice to see everyone made it, and kinda-sorta hale and hearty. I only have my standard resolutions: survive the year, and learn something new. And now, I’ll have to add “get into a staring contest with Mystie” as well.
Hey Muppet Baby, here’s an old family cure for feeling under the weather, good for flu, colds, and according to my Ma, great for helping with hangovers (back in Cali, the parents had a fairly active social life): Half orange juice, half 7UP. Depending on how skeltered your condition is, you can make one glass last most of the day. Speed of conumption goes hand in hand with how much better you feel. An occasional swig of ginger ale won’t hurt, either.

Hey folks, hope everyone’s New Year celebrations went well…mine was pretty low key but it was still fun…may X-E graciously guide us into 2007 and beyond…

Happy New Year X-E!!! Here is to another year spent eagerly awaiting Halloween and Christmas.

I went out and got loaded. Free champagne at midnight and all that jazz. All in all a pretty good night. I just wish I could remember all of it! I’m glad to hear everyone seemed to have a good one as well. I’m definitely too old for excessive partying, my hangover was one of the worst I’ve had. Good god, I’ll be 26 in 6 days. Let’s see if I actually quit smoking this year.

MissJess, if you want a good incentive to quit, watch any episode of The Venture Brothers that has Dr. Girlfriend in it. Imagine if your voice sounded like hers. Nothing confuses the average American Male like a attractive young woman with Harvey Firestein’s voice. They just want to be loved, is that so wrong?

Happy 007, as the kids are saying. (what kids, you ask? I don’t know, I just heard it secondhand from a pop culture lexicon)
Just finished 3 hours of Bond 007 on the Nintendo 64 with my buddies son. I was the king of this game when I was 20 and this 11 year old cleaned my clock. God I suck. Still a great game for what it is.
oh yeah, Happy Birthday Maxwell! May every fortune cookie be fortuitous! Or at least not say “try another cookie.” I got one of those one time. No sh#t.

Manimal, I’ve since found some Easter Eggs, but not the one you were talking about.
