HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!

Just got back from the fireworks in Sydney Harbour! They were gorgeous!

Seriously I feel old though. We (Yokiem, me, Derry667 and Mcalex22) found ourselves surrounded by all these very drunk little teenagers down at Blues Point. Also it is really not fair that the police cordoned off the only area with toilets. We were there from about 7:30pm and it starts to get a little uncomfortable. O_O

But it was awesome fun anyway! :D

Yay for fireworks on the harbour bridge and they even had them going off the top of the tall buildings in the city.

I've uploaded a short vid of some of the fireworks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge here. Some more fireworks here (this is the prettiest one!) and a longer one over the Bridge here. I have a few more and I'm still uploading them. I'll edit later. That's it! :)

*Sighs enviously* I would love to see the fireworks over Sydney Harbour some year. *Loves Sydney madly*

You're never as old as you feel; it's an unwritten rule that I read somewhere.

Happy New Year!!

I got some footage of the fireworks, but youtube isn't playing nice. I'll try imeem and then I may have to admit defeat. They were very pretty! I've lived here for four years now and it's the first time I've managed to see them. I tend to be out of town on NYE.

Believe me, I mostly felt embarrassed for the little things. I actually don't think I was ever that stupid. :P

I was in Sydney November, 2004, doing interview at NIDA, and haven't been back since. I miss it; I adored the city more than just about anywhere else I've been. *Hearts the ferries and uses her one Sydney Icon*

I've lived around Washington, DC, capital of the US, for twelve years now, and have never actually gone into the city for the fireworks (or the fourth of July, for that matter). It's amazing what you don't do when you have the opportunity.

And I know exactly what you mean about the little, stupid stuff.

Happy New Year! It's still 12/31 in New York, so I haven't had a chance to see drunk teenagers yet, but I'm sure I will. :-)

Hee! Enjoy it when it comes around. I think we are one of the first places to get the new year. :D

Happy New year! It's still 8 hours away here. That 2nd vid of the fireworks was spectacular. :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I uploaded one more here (http://starrylizard.imeem.com/video/iO-3HYBj/new_years_eve_in_sydney_3/?ct=ZWEW5F), but the second one is definitely the prettiest. :)

Must be New Years by now! Happy New Year!!! :)

Happy New Year! We still have about 3 hours, but still. :-) I'm glad you had a great night.

We're sitting around watching American Football. :-)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I always giggle at American football. It's like guys tackling each other and yelling "hut, hut, hut", but then I've never actually watched it. :P
Hope 2007 brings you good things, whenever it comes for you. :)

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

I don't really care for football, but Andy does, and we have friends here who like it. So that's that.

Hope 2007 is good for you as well!

I finally get to see the fireworks!! It was on channel 10 this year, and the house I was at doesn't get channel 10. So, no fireworks.

Mum reckons you should have just gone and peed on the cops' feet.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yay! I can't believe how many views they are getting actually. *feels proud*

Hee! We should have brought your mum! It was a madhouse down there. :p

The video turned out really well! I hope we get to see some of mcalex's videos too! So tired today though, got up early from habit and my head was hurting from not enough sleep, but managed to catch up on some sleep in the afternoon and now I'm really awake :P

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm off to bed soon. My sis woke me at 10am and I only got to bed at 4am, so I'm kinda wired in a weird way.

Yup, we'll have to get the photos etc off Mcalex. Did you get the YSI link to my photos?

[yokiem.livejournal.com]

Yep, got the link, but my brother only has broadband speed after midnight so I'll get them tomorrow.

I just love the new years fireworks in Sydney! I was there for new years in 2003, and it was very pretty. I think that they had a dove on the bridge that year. The coathanger this year amused me! :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

There was a diamond too. I think it was 75 years since the bridge was built, so coathanger and a diamond. :)
It was very nice. Only took me 4 years to get to them. :P
