[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[21308]

Hey guys I'm doing the New Year's thing in New York! You should totally let me tell you about it!

[Akayaofthemoon]

We want to know! ^_^

[Saarebas]

Happy new years from the guy that never posts any more

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Saarebas

Happy new year!

[21308]

@Saarebas Happy New Year!

@Akayaofthemoon So far I've just been waiting in line. It's been an hour and a half and I'm almost within eyeshot of Times Square.

@21308

You should take a video or two ^_^ it would be cool to see

[21308]

I took a picture but can't figure out how to upload it from my phone.

[21308]

The photos I took are on my tumblr for anyone who cares to see. spinelicious.tumblr.com

[Akayaofthemoon]

That looks amazing! ^_^

[21308]

It is pretty great, but seriously, I have to stay in one place for the next 7 hours, no sitting, no bathrooms. There are so many people around me that I barely have enough room to type on my phone.

[Akayaofthemoon]

I hope you didn't drink anything before heading into the pile of people XD

[21308]

I didn't, no bathroom until midnight will still be pretty bad though.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Yeah I agree with you there

[21308]

I must say for how uncomfortable it is the crowd is unexpectedly friendly. People are just making small talk with each other and you can easily hear like 5 languages in your immediate vicinity.

@21308Sounds cool. I'm just going to be drinking sparkling cider at home for New Years, per the norm.

[Akayaofthemoon]

That is pretty amazing ^_^ I would love to be a part of something like that. Stranger meeting stranger and learning more about them

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Raijinslayer

That sounds nice. I am kind of doing the same thing but also a date night with my hubby ^_^

[21308]

@Raijinslayer That sounds like fun, I'm kind of wondering if I should have taken that option lol.

@Akayaofthemoon It really is a novel experience, and it's pretty cool to see so many people with different backgrounds just being together and getting along.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

I can believe that that would be something to behold

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah, honestly I think that sight alone might be worth the hassle. Not everyone is so nice though. I spoke with a guy from Chicago earlier who got hassled by a couple of con artists. In his words, "I came all the way to New York for this?"
