New Year's Eve. Humans really do love their holidays around this time of the year, don't they? One after the other after the other and oh, you just never give it a break.

I'm terribly bored right now, so why don't I open up a little poll question? Tell me, fellow citizens, just how do you celebrate this holiday? Any traditions? I'm wondering just what kind of little party to throw myself, maybe.

Oooh, Master, we're having a party?

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Maybe, though it'd just be us and the cats.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! You know I've never really properly celebrated New Year's Eve before.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Really? Even with your Earth fetish?

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

It's not a fetish. And I've always been rather busy. It's hard to keep track of dates in the TARDIS sometimes.

It'll be something newish for the both of us, then.

[video]

[hideyosammich.livejournal.com]

I'm excited for it!

People celebrate th' year changin'?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

What makes one of your years so different from the others?

[saintedsinner]

You mean the new year? I try not to die.

video

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Well, well! That's a practical enough goal.

video

[saintedsinner]

The most important one, sometimes.

video

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

I attempt to make that my goal often. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck with it on plenty of occasions.

[saintedsinner]

...You make a habit of dying?

Re: video

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

I try to live. I just happen to die an annoying number of times.

video

[saintedsinner]

Uh...huh...


-=Usually if you die once, you learn to stay out of trouble...hypothetically speaking, of course.=-

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Hazardous occupation, really.

[saintedsinner]

I can tell.

You must have an excellent doctor.


-=Oh, Ed, if you only knew=-

[Oh, he just laughs at that.]

You could say that.

Well I've got this long standing tradition of getting raging drunk. Though dunno how that's going to work out here. The alcohol seems kind of scarce.

[Though it doesn't really take much to get the guy drunk anyways. but still.]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Very unfortunately, yes. It's all terribly weak Earth alcohol, anyway.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

...You wouldn't happen to have some 'terribly weak earth alcohol' would you?

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

None that's going to be shared.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Stingy.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Perhaps a little, yes.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Well if you ever feel like sharing, I am right here. Don't forget!

My mom would always make me hot apple cider and we would wait until almost midnight and count down to the new year and stuff like that. I'd try to have my friends over too. It's super fun!

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

How charming. Humans really do have the most quaint traditions.

[Video]

[licensedhero.livejournal.com]

You aren't human?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

No. Time Lord.

[Video]

[licensedhero.livejournal.com]

What's a Time Lord?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

My race of people.

[Video]

[licensedhero.livejournal.com]

What's being a Time Lord like?

[Video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Describing it to you humans has always been so difficult. The basics are that we're superior, we live much longer, can regenerate, and have the technology to travel through space and time.

[Video]

[licensedhero.livejournal.com]

[Guess what he gets out of all of that Master?]

You can time travel?! That is so COOL!

[video]

[firstdouble.livejournal.com]

I don't really get what's there to celebrate.

[ She shrugs.] It's just another excuse to party.

[video]

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with that!

[eternally17.livejournal.com]

It's been a long time since I've had a celebration for New Years, or any holiday for that matter.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Any particular reason as to why?

[eternally17.livejournal.com]

Not really, I haven't had many to spend it with in some time.

[soundsofdrums.livejournal.com]

Now don't I know how that is.

[eternally17.livejournal.com]

[He smirked, thinking back to his time with Marius] I remember spending a good deal of holidays drunk when I did have people to celebrate with. That is to say, I don't remember much of those holidays. [Well, there had also been those Satanic holidays later. But that wasn't the sort you just mentioned to anyone.]
