Shirley Temple?

My mom was super honest and open about sex, too. When that kid in Kindergarten Cop was all "boys have a penis, girls have a vagina", that was pretty much me, around the same age. In a Catholic elementary school. That went over real well.

Just cried a little from laughing at this comment. Thank you.

This, yes. But yeah, I never really was much of a New Yearsy person and didn't ever feel compelled to go out and do something. Like I never felt like I missed out on anything. I'd definitely suggest staying in and watching The Twilight Zone.

An ex-boyfriend of mine was like this as well, and would usually always get mad at me for not having made plans for us. He'd never actually make any plans himself, just get pissed off at me for "wasting" another New Year's. What's with this?

Ugh, I'm sorry. I hope the rest of your evening went okay.

This made me laugh really hard. My comment came as a result of thinking about how many needles my cat was trying to eat off of our fake tree this year. The image I had in my head was of this dude tossing old Christmas trees over the fence to dozens and dozens of cats, instead of goats.

"Then, we'll toss them over the fence and let the goats have at them."

Awesome, good for you! I think I might do the same.

Right? That's what surprised me the most last Christmas, all the fucking food (like, seriously every dish) had meat. No salad or pasta dish or anything meatless. It was kinda gross.

Yes! You too! I think I'll be in the Honda Club area, rooted to whichever spot I can get to that's in front of all the tall people. :)

You might be my food soulmate.

I wish I had those in my mouth right now. Oh man.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you have a ton of happy memories to comfort you and make you smile.

Ah yeah, I understand. I'm usually surprised at myself when I want to go to and can handle social gatherings, parties and stuff. I'm really happy being alone, so if it were me and I had no place to be, you can bet I'd spend New Year's in pajamas with a bottle of champagne and some junk food. So you should probably not…

Would it be weird to look up maybe a public event on Meet Up or something, in your area? Like how people open-invite anyone to share Thanksgiving or Christmas with them, even if they're strangers? Or are there any places near you that you frequent and could see what the people there are up to?

Champagne is my favorite holiday tradition. And company.

What didn't you like about Interstellar? I haven't seen it and wasn't really sure about whether or not to bother.

Two Christmases ago I had only vegetable platter appetizers to eat for dinner, because my stepmom's brother didn't know I was coming to his house with my parents (I'm a vegetarian). Last Christmas, he just forgot I don't eat meat/seafood, and I had even asked my father before we went if I should just bring my own food…

Oh, lucky! And yeah, I've only heard good things about it, I could use the cheering up.
