Happy New Year everyone! I know at the time of posting that no-one except New Zealand and a handful of Pacific Islands have experienced 2004, but who cares!?

Now let's sing songs to which no-one knows the words, get hideously drunk, and impregnate all the loose women!

Wheeeeeee!

I got to thinking about how every year my whole life I've heard the song "Auld Lang Syne" and never known what it meant.

So I went to Google and found out! Figured I'd share the results with all of you here, cause not many people seem to know what it means. biggrin.gif

QUOTE
Auld Lang Syne means ``old long since'' and is adapted from a traditional Scottish folk tune. The basic words date to at least 1711, though some scholars say it was mentioned as early as 1677. Scottish poet Robert Burns is credited with first publishing it, in the mid-1790s, and, researchers say, smoothing out some of the verses and changing the melody.

The song recalls the days gone by and says we will always remember them. ``Should auld acquaintance be forgot?'' it asks. No, the chorus replies: ``For auld lang syne (for times gone by), we'll tak (drink) a cup o' kindness yet.''

As for the other lyrics, Verse 2 refers to friends at separate places (or pubs), drinking to each other. Verses 3 and 4 talk about a long journey to find that friend, running ``about the braes'' (hillsides), and ``pou'd the gowans fine'' (pulled the pretty daisies), and getting tired doing so (``wander'd mony a weary fit,'' or ``a weary foot'' depending on the version). It continues with wading streams (``paidl'd in the burn''), from dusk until dinnertime, but even then, broad (``braid'') seas roar between them.

But finally, in the last verse, the friends find each other. And they ``tak a right guid-willie waught'' (``drink a goodwill drink'') for times gone by.


So, there you have it. It's rather nice, actually.

Happy New Year again for those of you it's changed for already. smile.gif /me hugs everyone
LoLo

Still not quite New Year's yet over here dry.gif but it is rather close. You may be pleased to find out that contrary to my recent poll, I'm not at my house with the cat this year! happy.gif I'm at my friend Crystal's house, and we're ringing in 2004 with the Cowboy Bebop movie, faerie dust, and her Yorkie Dolly. happy.gif

Happy New Year everybody!

Yaaay!

I had a great New Year's Eve. Twas spent talking to Lo, Syuu, Hyp, and Missy (and, for a brief period of time, Sean and Polo) in an IRC/Yahoo voice conference party.

It was the best New Year's I've ever spent at home, quite honestly. smile.gif
Alaric
i went to my dads friends house, was the oldest "Kid" there, and nearly strangle this annoying little kid. Went to another house at 10, and played Halo till 12:15, then came home... yeah.. mine was fun... ~grummble~ worst one yet.

A lot of us had a crappy year too...especially towards the end.

But we're hoping that this year will be better. So that's what makes it happy.
