Ran out of shows to watch for now so translating some stuff while trying to get a PS3 game to work on this hardware.

In in upsate newyork, there's going to be this private party at some mountain hotel. I came with my family. It hasn't snowed where I live, but here that's not an issue. To be honest, I don't really like anyone here.

The same thing as every other night, listen to music while mindlessly browsing imageboards. I never understood the appeal to celebrating the beginning of a new year, it's the most depressing "holiday" in existence.

It gives people direction in life. The celebration is just there to compensate for how depressing it is to see time pass and seasons repeat. People like to think they're headed towards something good and new in life. People who can't delude themself into thinking that get super depressed from the contrast between them and everyone else. Pretty sure suicide is really high this time of year. Just enjoy the fireworks, anon.

What have you done this 2018, ubuu?
    
You didn't just spend all 365 days just browsing imageboards and shitposting on corean basketweaving forums, right?

Senior year of HS. Started learning Japanese and reading more. Those are the most defining things. Not much in the way of relationship developments.

4 and a half hours left where I am. See you on the other side.

Welcome to the other side, and happy new year.

Yep, happy new year anon. Russian people are pretty unreasonable. I had two glasses of champagne even though i'm not 21 yet. In your own house it's whatever, but this was a public place in a venue with like 200 people. Something about that is surreal. I'm back in my hotel room now becuase I wasn't in the mood for watching the second half of paranormal activity with a couple of wiggers. I don't mean to be rude or anything, but they're just very boring people with poor music taste. Good night.

>very boring people with poor music taste
My neighborhood had favela music playing until 3am, I'd take russian trashy music in a heartbeat

>>19716
Nope. The party had Russian music. People, "my own age", just listen to rap when they're together though.

It's the symbol representing the passing of time, the "ritual", what drives to celebrate these kind of things as holidays. It's like birthdays; they're there only to remind you that time passes and you can't do anything to stop it.

While I understand it, I don't see why everybody frets their shit so much about it. I mean, it's no different than a weekend. Monday always comes right after it.
