New Year's Eve Liveblog From The Suburbs

So, in celebration of the New Year, I have decided to liveblog my New Year's Eve for all of you to enjoy.  This glorious evening, I will be engaging in the New Year's festivities from the couch with my sister, mother, and father in the suburbs of Central Massachusetts.  Let the craziness begin!

5:49 PM  Watching Season 3 of The Office on my computer.  My sister is working on her college essays, my father is watching TV, and my mother is at Ming's Deli helping out my aunts and uncles with the New Year's Chinese food rush.  We were going to join her, but something was said about us being in the way, so I'm spending the early evening with my good friend Michael Scott.  Party's pumping already.

6:26 PM  Dinner is served!  As a tribute to the last year, dinner is comprised of all the leftovers we weren't able to finish before mom left for the restaurant.  Oh, nostalgia.

7:41 PM  Commence baking!  Sister and I are making Heath Bar bark.  Ours will look just like that...after a few drinks, I'm sure...

8:06 PM  Forgot to preheat the oven.  Time to crack open the first beer of the night.

8:07 PM  Mmmmm Budweiser Light Lime...tastes like water with a hint of lime...

8:17 PM  Threw out the rest of the Bud Light, opened a hard cider.  Dad's drinking some 2 buck chuck.  Stay classy, Wong family.

8:37 PM  Just turned on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2013 on ABC.  Father says the announcer is a softcore porn star.  How does he know...

9:11 PM  I like this broadcast.  It's like I'm at a concert, but I'm sitting in my pajamas on the couch, safe from the ever-encompassing reach of Ryan Seacrest.

9:22 PM  750 ml bottle of whiskey, you will soon be mine.  Also, Justin Bieber, why would you ever make an acoustic version of "Boyfriend"?  Actually, why would you make that song in general?

9:27 PM  I like my whiskey neat and out of a glass with pink elephants sledding down a hill.

9:28 PM  Also, I just hit over 500 views for the month of December and consequently for the year 2012!  Love you guys!  Whoever you are...

10:15 PM  Just fried up some rice paper spring rolls and shrimp wantons.  Why is everything so good when it's fried!?!?!? 

10:19 PM  Why is Justin Bieber such a large part of this New Year's broadcast...

10:31 PM  Weight Watchers, stop telling me I need to lose weight.  I'll do it after I finish all of this fried food...

10:37 PM  Dad got up to do Gangnam Style with the TV, but I think he's afraid I will video it and put it on my blog, so he's just sort of standing in front of the TV with his arms crossed now.

10:54 PM   Mom's on her way home with Chinese food!  Weight Watchers, move on over!

11:07 PM MOM'S HOME!  Our kitchen table is now full of chicken wings, crab rangoons, fried shrimp, chicken fingers, and beef teriyaki.  I WILL NOT STOP EATING UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

11:40 PM  I AM SO FULL BUT I AM NEVER STOPPING.  Also, Taylor Swift just came on and my sister went crazy for a second.

11:44 PM  You go, Ryan Seacrest.  Sing that Taylor Swift like it's New Year's Eve.

11:47 PM  Moar whiskey?  Why certainly.  Fill up my pink elephants, please.

11:50 PM  I remember when I was a kid, I used to think the ball in Time Square actually dropped.  As in shattered on the ground.  Did anybody else think that?

11:53 PM  It's almost midnight and it looks like candidates for a midnight kiss are my mother, father, or sister.  Time to draw an attractive face on my hand?  My friend told me this is normal practice...

11:56 PM  I bet all of those people in New York are cold.  I'm very warm right here in my pajamas.

11:59 PM  Zomg it's almost time to count down.  Family's gathered.  Food's eaten.  And I'm the only one with alcohol.  Whiskey is good...

12:00 AM  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

12:01 AM  My New Year's kiss was my glass of whiskey.  Not bad, 2012.  Not bad.

12:03 AM  Why do we drop a ball to celebrate the new year?  Why not, like, a baby or something?

12:04 AM Oh my god, my cousin lost a diamond from her arrangement ring, possibly in the recently ingested crab rangoons.  This is probably not a good thing...

12:07 AM  Still haven't found the diamond...but it's time to play board games with the family!  Have a great night everyone!  Wong, out!  (Sounds better when Ryan Seacrest does it.  Curse him and his iron hold over every American's heart.)
