Happy new year, AusGAF! It's been a damn good (if mostly uneventful) 2011 but have struck up a fair few friendships due to this very thread. Hopefully 2012 brings even more, because quite frankly, I'm sick to death of the lot of you.
Also, the thing I love about GAF-hosted avatars is that if you look at the properties of them, they retain their original filename. This is a great way to send secret messages to people!
The secret I've learned about New Year's celebrations is that you should never expect anything at all. Obviously plan if you need to, but given that you're not really celebrating anything specific other than the calendar flipping over, it will only ever be significant for those precious few minutes either side of midnight. After that, the night is what you make it, not what you expect.
I spent it with my entire immediate family at a New Year's blues music thing my parents help organise. Amazing weather about 30 mins inland from Geelong with an awesome breeze, cider, my parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law and both of my disarmingly cute nephews. I have a video of the eldest one dancing which I may upload in the future, but for now, it's far too late and I have a big day ahead to prepare for.
I could change my avatar and tell you that I was an Asian girl all along. This has all been an elaborate scheme. Not sure what for yet.
Fuck, you mean I was just talking to some random dude the other week? FUCK. No wonder the conversation was so damn awkward.
Happy New Year AusGAF! Sitting on the balcony waiting for the fireworks with a beer in hand along with 5 kinds of cheese and crackers. Fuck yes.
Here is a sneak peak of my article on the Cobden Miniature Railway Faire & Fireworks Extravaganza from tonight. That is their title, not mine.

That, my friend (I can say that because we've met IRL zomg), is what you call a "beautiful picture". One of the (many) pics I bet you'll look back on with great fondness :)

HUNGRY THIRSTY? DIP N CIDER. BEAT HUNGRY THIRSTY[/QUOTE]
Dip 'n' cider sounds like the punchline to a joke.

Shaneus's stylish hat & glasses combo deserves an honorable mention.[/QUOTE]
Wow, thanks! I've never been a hat guy, but I'm definitely going to test it tomorrow at Summadayze, hopefully I'll outclass all those douches with their shirts off and torso-size Southern Cross tattoos. Barely. Also, the glasses are prescription, but I've only had decent looking ones for the last year or so. All others were just boring.
So yeah. Genuinely, a happy new year to you all. You're a great bunch of people to hang around online with and may your favourite 2012 game break street by weeks :)
