Happy New Year, England and Ireland and Scotland!!!!!!!
Now it gets harder, to Majorie, Louisa, Martin, K, and anyone else, including Lurkers!!!!
(Should have borrowed the Skull Map, shouldnt I???)
I'm getting worn out with all this New Years Partying and we aren't even to the US yet...
Love and the New Year,
Lorraine

Oh Happiness it's New Years!!!!!!!
5 Hours until East Coast!!!!!!
I feel so alone in the UK.
Going to gig now.
Ath bliana faoi mhaise do gach duine!! Happy New Year to all GMTers!! Time for a hooley...
We appreciate all your hard work, Lorraine! Happy New Year to those in the UK!
Have a FANTASTIC gig Miss Fab, play til your fingers bleed! (metaphorically of course!) I'll raise a glass (or two) to you...
Have a great gig Lorraine, and happy happy to everyone in this time zone.
Happy New Year in the GMTzone!
Safe travels and have a blast, FabLo!
Happy New Year Ireland!
Happy New Year UK!
Oh Lorraine, you were only alone because we were off quaffing champagne... I'm in 2009 now. (No flying cars or personal teleports yet)
Happy New Year to fiends everywhere!
Happy New Year's and hugs to all things UKish!!
And energy hugs to Fablo, who will be rocking the entire nation it looks like. :-)
Meanwhile, I'm partying with some nachos, a coke, and curling up with my crochet needle and yarn and college football (I love college football).
Lys, Val, where's the champagne??
Yay! Happy New Year!
No flying cars that I noticed. Maybe in the morning. It's up to you now, America!
Nope, no flying cars here either...
OFF to bed now. Happy New Year America! (In a few hours..._)
oi i wish i was in london again. i loved it so much.
merry new year's!!!
so someone mentioned a wine called penfolds in a previous post. i got some sirraz, is that a cold wine or a room temp wine?
i'm such a wine noob.
with apologies to Quiche and -who was it? who don't get Pterry...
Pterry
Shiraz (and basically all reds) are room temp wines. Shiraz is the Australian word for Syrrah (or Syrrah is the French word for Shiraz?)
I'm learning about wine, too. Mostly I know about beer. Lots and lots of varieties of beer, thanks to a recurring social engagement at a pub 'round here with 250 or so different types.
After watching the Evil League of Evil application videos on the Dr. Horrible DVD, I think I may need my own league...
Quick change from the Champers to something more appropriate for the UK.
But should it be scotch, or irish whiskey?
OH, the difficult decisions.
But since I HAPPEN to still have some Tullamore Dew.....
Quiche--not that you will see it this year, but I sent you an email. It's from the civilian account.
The Guy League! wait, isn't there one of those already?
Vampi, good choice. and Adri has you covered.
I have a second bottle of champagne chilling, just in case. Not that I'm even CLOSE to killing this one yet. Um, I'm not an alcoholic...just have a high tolerance for Champers!
(and good thing, too.)
HAPPY NEW YEAR MARJORIE AND CO!!!
SOMEONE (Aleta?) needs to blog from the Gig!!!!! (Have I mentioned how jealous I am?)
Oh. It hasn't started yet?
Okay. I'll just listen to some lovely music.....and continue catching up w/the Champers :)
I'm here! I won't be for long if I don't find a plug. :) For my lap top, not me. But here we be! I will ask Q if she wants to post pix during a set break. Wish you all were here.
June...
yay, Gaypet!!! Well done, June...
and THANK YOU for being there, you embody Fiend spirit for all of us.
Wait. June. That was dumb of me. I figured it out. SORRY, G!!
And when one isn't properly signed in, one can't delete or edit once published. Ah, well..
Yappy Hew Near!
No, that's not right.
Nappy Yew Hear!
::nodding:: Yep. That's better. ;)
Of course, I mean that to everyone in England, Ireland and Scotland.
Nope. Not a drop of alcohol.
That's okay, Lys. Even if you are properly signed in you can't edit your comments; all you can do is delete. Too late for deleting! I spy with my little fiendish eye all your comments! ;)
I am here now to Paul and lorraine are rocking. See photos on facebook!
Wish I were at the gig!
But close second, I'm stuffed entirely full of sushi, having finally gone to the Japanese place that's two blocks from my house. It's only been there for a couple years, and I've never been.
Silly, silly me.
Stuffed entirely full, did I mention that? Of tasty, tasty sushi?
Let's see if I can stay awake for two more hours!
Nick brought Morgan home some bits of roe tucked in a fortune cookie wrapper. Mota is now trying to smear them all over the sofa. But very, very happily.
Happy New Year! (a picture of me all tarted up to go out with outrageous makeup and leopard tattoo on display)
Everyone be safe!
Sushi on New Year's Eve???
wowzers!
That beats pizza, no matter how good. Of course, I have some lovely brunch supplies for the morrow.
Hey, who went to Monte Carlo for martinis this afternoon? May I say once again "GREEN WITH ENVY!!"
Facebook pics? Please link. I will even (arrrrggg) REGISTER if I must. :) that is how much I want to see them!
No problem LyS. :) I am just so excited about a Fiend party that it is in the front of my mind almost all the time. You will be here, yes?
Good times here in Stillwater. The sound has always been good but it seems particularly good tonight. And our Ms Fab is on fire!
Adri--that is some DRAMATIC hair! Wish I could do that....nice tigger critter on your shoulder, as well.
I had to click on the kitty pic (Zanzibar and Ornament.) That is a great photo, and I love the juxtaposition of cat faces!
Lys, sorry but you may HAVE to register to see pix. Facebook pix are not public. Come over to the darkside of Facebook!
Yes Lys, join us on FB
En route to party now after a quick turnaround to retrieve a game. Can't wait to see gig pics! (please link)
Zanzibar's ornament is hand painted in his likeness from catsofchristmas.com
Adri..thanks for the link, I MUST get an Angus for next year!
Love tabbies, I do.
All the rest of you: Back! Back I say!
no seriously....it isn't just the registering. It's the having to remember login stuff. I just have ENOUGH of that already, in my private and professional life!
Happy New Year fiends! Love the pictures Adri! 5 hours until midnite here!
Lys, I tried to surprise you and Gayle today... I wanted to take SF Bay pictures for you, but the fog was too thick. Next week!
Okay, I'm fully caught up with my Champers toasts...plus meals....
Surprisingly quiet around here, for what everyone had been telling me. Of course, it's only 8:22 pm here!
I love the picture Gayle posted of Fablo and Dr. Score! Thanks, Gayle, for letting us peek in on the party!!
Gayle!!!!
Where is this picture?!!
How do I get to see it??!!!
Don't worry, Lys; I'm not on Facebook either, nor do I have any plans to join. I joined Blogger in order to post comments on this blog shortly after it started. I joined LiveJournal to keep up with friends there who locked their posts to the general public. I've had a tribe.net account for several years. I even registered with ::shudder:: Myspace to see a friend's page. I'm on LastFM. I really don't need to join one more social networking site. :)
So I'll just suffer through the time without pictures. ::SIGH::
;)
let's say I register on Facebook. Fine.
THEN what do I do, to see these pics?
Tell me what name you are registering under Lys, I'll friend you, then you should be able to see the pics.
So we are here and Lorraine wanted to let Fiends know a few things. There is a mood of anticipation for the second set and impending midnight rock.
Lorraine is dressed in a FABulous, gorgeous black feather number. Paul looks like a lumber jack. He missed the memo about the dress code.
We are having a lovely time eating popcorn and drink... whatever.
Aleta says, too many people have iPhones. Including herself. I have taken a few short vids that I will send Q later. We are going to stop futzing with the techno and enjoy the show.
Check out Facebook for pix. :) Wish you all were here!!!
Can someone with an iphone email Lys a photo if she give you her email address... Then she won't have to join facebook.
Smart idea Ticia. Thinking of it, we should be able to copy the photos into an email for Lys.
Goes off to atttempt the task
Adri too... right Adri??
Okay, I managed to copy Gayle's photo and send it to Lys, Aleta's wouldn't copy for some reason.
East Coast fiends have less than an hour to go!
Wheeeeeee!
Sally - you are a techno-goddess! You rock!
well, who ever posts the pictures should be able to get a link form facebook and post. you can post your own pictures publicly. down towards the bottom of the screen in fairly small writing should be something that says "to share photo albm publicly use this link" or some such...
YaY!!!
SAVED from Facebook! :) for the nonce, anyway.
BBA America has started an Overnight of Absolutely Fabulous. WOO HOO!
Sally, got the email. Wondrous well done, Fiends!! A Fiend in Minnesota takes the pic....posts it..and a Fiend in Australia emails it to New Mexico.
Darn, we're good!
(I can even see the feathers....AND the plaid.)
Well, I'm bloody well late to this party, aren't I?
Very quite in Iowa - no fireworks, no gigs, no other fiends that I know of.
I thought of Sally and Marjorie, and Louisa and Nat and everyone else as the world moved through time - happy new year to you all.
Lys - I've been on facebook for some time now, and I still don't get how to do things.
Technology - grrr.
OK, I just wanted to say that Lorraine did not ask me to say she looked Fab. That was me. And I did not want to imply that we are waiting for Rock. It is happening NOW! Just that the crowd is anticipating noise makers and even MORE Rock. :)
OK, ttfn.
Siri!!
have a glass of the Good stuff....half-way decent Champers.
None of that California sweet sod juiice here, mind you...
:)
Okay, now can someone get me Aleta's pic? Or...sigh..do I face the Dreaded Choice one again?
Tell you what....any Fiend manages to post video and/or actual music clip (no matter how short, five seconds will do) of the gig on Facebook...and I WILL register, just for that!
:)
Lys - maybe you can link to the picture here (I hope) gig
I don't think I'm drinking tonight - a little sad, so don't think I should compound the feeling. My own fault for not making other plans. I'll live - I have for years!
Gaypet....
When they are on their longer break between sets, tell Lorraine that I am assuaging the pain of missing her with the delightful adventures of Patsy, Eddy and the rest of the AbFab crew. (As well, of course, with the company of all these Fiends. Plus several bottles of Champers. Isn't it New Years in Greenland yet?)
But even the promise of six hours of Fabulous adventures is not nearly enough....
Siri!
WHerefore the Sadness? You simply MUST tell....so Fiends can make disappear. Or at least be empathic and sympathetic over it all..
Seriously...you know you are not alone....this is the Fiend New Year's Celebration!
Siri, link you posted says you have to log in to view pictures. ::sigh::
My choice is still not to join Facebook.
I'm not drinking tonight either Siri... Too sick... It's hot ginger-lemon-honey water all the way!
:-D
Ticia: I send Echinacea/Comfrey/Goldenseal thoughts your way....
And Lys is right, Siri. We are here for you!
Thanks Lys! :-D
Eh - it's the usual - workload, bad budget forcasts at work (increasing the workload) winter, a recent bout of my body betraying me, and an overwhealming sense of missing my mother - she died 8 years ago August, and she would have loved the fact that I know this community. Or, since she does know, I'm feeling sad because I can't talk to her the way I can talk to you.
I'll be fine - after all, y'all are there, but.....I miss her.
It all seems to snow ball this time of year, doesn't it?
I don't have a close relationship with my mother, but I do with my child. So, I'm beginning to understand the bond... I'm sorry your mother is no longer with you, Siri. This seems like a good time to have the support of the fiends. ((hugs))
This is freakin' hilarious. Edina has taken, in the words of the jamaican nurse "everything we had"...then they still have to give her a shot to knock her out for surgery on an ingrown toenaIl.
Patsy is a marionette, and Saffi is all up in the la Croix claiming she will give up university to bum around Europe experimenting with drugs.
Riotous "under anesthesia" dream sequence!
SIRI!!!
Talk to her. For yourself, at the very least. She hears you, she just can't answer as she once did.
I am deeply sorry she is not right here for you...
You know we ARE, though....
I do know the time of year is a lot of it - dang weather! I know we weren't "friends" growing up - she was my mother, but after a certain point, she became a friend as well as Ma, and anytime you lose a friend, it's sad. Do be a mother to your child, first, Ticia - that sets the good basis for the friendship.
And yes, the fiends are good for all wot ails one!
*hugs* to Siri. My mother is alive, but at age 75, she is in failing health and losing her hearing, and the smart, beautiful, witty woman whom I love is still there, yes, but it's like waving to her through the glass on the train...
And I am with you in having a bit of melancholy, but it is being lightened by the fiends here, very much, yes.
And to post something that may seem cliched but is true: every day, someone does something great. Today, let that someone be you.
(And I very much liked what Fablo's nice Boss wrote, especially the being kind part.)
Yes, I do understand that..
even though I am in my 40's, it is really just recently that my mother has begun becoming my friend....more than my mother.
Interesting..
And I think I've become addicted to eating. :-) That is all I've done this holiday season and am still doing tonight, and it's great fun!
drunk guys--Lorraine is great with them but they are annoying
The last 2 years I've printed what Himself wrote on New Year's Eve. Again, what a way that man has with words. I put them up in my office, to remind me that work isn't the be all and end all - life is.
Mothers are funny creatures - for years they torture you, and suddenly they become the one who knows you best, and loves you anyway.
You ladies are the best - thanks for the support - that's why I keep coming back, when I could be doing other things - like sleeping!
hugs everyone back
Food, Glorious Food!!!
oh darn. well facebook allows posting of short videos
Siri, I'm a big letter writer. Not "mailing" letters, but letters from my heart to express feelings I can't express in other ways. Then I burn the letter, very ceremoniously. Or, I flush it down the toilet.
I've never done it to talk to a loved one who is no longer here, in a physical form.... But it may help.
Siri, you might just be surprised at the conversations you can have with the loved departed. That is, if you want to have a conversation. My mother has been dead 11 1/2 years, but believe me, I can hear her laughing her ass off every time my eldest does or says something just like me at her age. I either tell her to shut up, stick my tongue out at her, or just walk around grumbling mentally.
{{hug}}
Oh poor Q -- yet I'm sure she is great with the annoying drunk folk. Sigh. I hope they don't mess with y'all's fun!
Oh believe me, I talk to her all the time, and I hear her telling me what's what, and laughing at all the right places.....She's very much in my head!
But, it's not the same as face to face....
Someday, I'm going to write a story about a dead loved one coming back to life, because someone wished it so hard; I can't decide whether that would be a good thing, or not.....
7 minutes until midnite in Q-land!
Happy New Years east coast fiends!
oohhh! GREAT idea Siri!
Ticia, Minnesota is in the Central time zone. We've still got a little over an hour.
When you do it, I want to read it!
DOH! Thanks Ariandalen!
:) Is okay.
Vampi....
as I said, if video or music is posted to FaceBook, I am SO registering!
SIri...yeah, I really know wheroff you speak. My brother was killed (he was in Georgia) the first year I was in Minnesota.... If it wasn't for the good people there, who knows what would have become of me.
I am watching the most inspiring documentary. "Man on the Wire". It's about Phillipe Petit, a French high-wire artist that walked a tight rope between the Twin Towers in 1974. EVERYONE should watch this!
Felicitas Novo Annum, East Coast Fiends!
I still remember Betsy Pucci (now Stemple) waltzing with me while Jamie Across the Water played...and I finally cried. (this was several weeks later......)
Boy, they are good people over there.
and everywhere the Fiends are, actually....
Hey, Gang - head over to the NEW POST!!!
Happy Happy, East Coast@
Rainie is VERY good with drunk folk, especially considering I think she doesn't really LIKE the state. Others being in it, that is.
And certainly not obnoxiously so....
Happy New Year, all you Eastern Standard folks!! May your holiday be strewn with lots of chocolate!
Happy celebrations, fiends!
No flying car here either, Jess, but I haven't been outside...
Ummm.... I totally fell asleep. Doh!
Happy New Year everyone!!!
Happy New Year, Lorraine
Belated Happy New Year!
And Happy New Years to you Martin, and Mooninthegutter!!!!!!!
(Welcome , Moon!)
