Well, my sister and I went to our aunt "Lena" and uncle "Arthur"'s, as Mom didn't feel too good, and Dad was on call, so they didn't go. Grandma "Sally" was there, and so were my other aunt and uncle, and their kids, our cousins. First we did the annual scavenger hunt. There were ways to get extra points, one of them, as one item on the list was five playing cards, getting certain hands. I thought I had a flush, which would have put me in second ("Larry" and "Amy", my cousins, tied for first) but I had one heart, which I had mistaken for a diamond, so I came in fourth. Then we had munchies. For me, that meant cookies, banana bread, pretzels dipped in chocolate, chips, and pop. Then we played Hyperdash. Never played it before then, and it was fun. Then we played Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2. Everyone who played each did two dances before we moved on to the next activity. (I danced to Safety Dance by men Without Hats, and Walk Like An Egyptian by the Bangles. Then we played....

Rock Band = Funnest game ever. My sister, cousin "Amy", and I formed a band. Funk Wiginotz: FLG. (FLG stood for Finger Lickin' Good) I was Ray Bishop, guitarist, "Amy" was Gwena, drummer, and sis was Relgirl, singer. Then we did some songs, then "Larry" "Lena" and "Arthur" formed a band, The Concessions. And on their second song, "Arthur" replaced some of the lyrics with food. And still hit the right notes. HILARIOUS!!!

Then sis and cousins went across the drive to Grandma's for their sleepover. Then everyone left except Aunt "Lena" played Euchre, with me and Uncle "Arthur winning by just one point. Paranormal State was on, and that gave me the creeps, Then we watched the ball drop in Times Square on TV, and then clinked glasses and said "Happy New Year!" Then my other Aunt and Uncle dropped me off at home. Then I went up to bed. And got up at 7:30. Then fell asleep until 11:00. Yup. Tired.

Rocked out to a bunch of old songs 'till 11:30, then lit some fireworks...

Which was hopelessly dwarfed by the AMAZING fireworks display set up by the neighbors, which went on for at least 2 hours

On another note, I still have the original LEGO Naboo fighter constructed on top of my TV set. Due to MOCing and a few accidents it's missing half a dozen peices though

Nice...

We did fireworks once, last year, but then we were out in the country in the middle of nowhere.
