what are people doing for new year's eve?

I'm debating whether or not we'll go out to dinner, but besides that we'll probably chill around the house and watch a movie. whenever I try to make plans for new year's/halloween or whatever and go out, it always ends up sucking. I don't care anymore if I make it to midnight or not (I probably won't).
 
hm josh i really kick ass at pictionary. sayin.

there is a loft party here i could go to in tribeca but i feel sort of wussy lately and not sure i want to get... totally shitfaced with a bunch of jocks from my high school.
 
immediate fams are coming over to new house so probably:
- chex mix
- punch (7-up, canada dry, orange sherbet)
- movies

and actually, pictionary is probably not totally out of the question. or some other sort of family-type game which will end when i kick over the table the board is on in frustration.
 
A friend of mine mentioned some party where we won't know anyone that I might go to, where I'm sure I'll end up designated driver since I hardly drink anyway. I might just stay home and down some champagne with my brother and some friends.
 
Have been invited to a party a friend does every year but I am not going this time (for some reason, at 29 years old a guy who used to barely drink and have smoked one joint in his entire life started going pretty heavy on the chemicals and will have a platter of Ex, acid, mush and various at his party. Although I do enjoy my marijane from time to time I am not participating in that kind of bullshit.)

Other friend invited me to his parents' diner party (parents are lebanese and his mother is an awesome cook, should be incredible) after which we will go back to his house for a combo of Jacuzzi, beers and fondue...
