Daypaw Asmondai Daypaw I'm proud of them = w= I didn't enter expecting to win, haha <3~ Hehee. ^-^ Happy New Year btw. :3Hugs.A few hours to go for us here xD Only going on 8 PM, I'm not totally dedicated to staying up and watching the ball drop though. It loses it's appeal after 26 years. Sleep sounds much better. Yeah, know the feeling - ball-dropping. <.<" I´m at 3am mark soon. :3

Yeah, I know this one, saw it first time on TV during Millenium-thingie in 1999-2000. :3
If uncertain; Wikipedia. ^.^
"The event was first organized by Adolph Ochs, owner of The New York Times newspaper, as a successor to a series of New Year's Eve fireworks displays he held at the building to promote its status as the new headquarters of the Times, while the ball itself was designed by Artkraft Strauss. First held on December 31, 1907, to welcome 1908."
