I was reading a book. I looked up saw it was midnight and said "oh the world didnt end. thats nice" and went back to my book

it was shabbat, so probably nice and cozy in my bed at my parents house seeing as 10 years ago I was not married yet.
how time flies Smile

I was a high school senior. because of the whole Y2K scare, my best friend and I went on a midnight millennium run where we went through the neighborhood checking that everything was still functioning and the world was in tact (all in jest, of course.)

she would yell out "street lamp" and upon seeing the working light, I'd yell out "check!!"... "car"... "check!!".. and so on for about 15 minutes. I swear my neighbors must have thought we were cracked.

It was my first year of college and I had stayed over at a friend's house in Flatbush. I was sleeping by the time 12am rolled around!

I was not married yet and I was home, my married sister came for shabbos and after the meal she sat down to play othello with her husband and at midnight the game was not over yet so we were joking that this is the longest othello game ever played, they started un year 1999 and ended in year 2000!

Having a shabbos meal with my parents and siblings and discussing y2k and whether anything was actually going to happen. I was in 6th grade

Oh, the memories. We were newlyweds, still in Sheva Brochos.

I was in Chicago then and now I'm in EY so I'm much happier now. I remember just before Shabbat hearing that it was already past midnight in Australia or New Zealand and that things seemed to be working just fine. Enjoyed my Shabbat meal, went to bed and woke up in the morning.
