Maybe you're just 3 seconds ahead.
Just kidding, but I did read about that last year. |

No, I didn't; but that's not extremely relevant.

that's okay...i always miss new years by atleast 5-10 minutes, so really 3 seconds is a vast improvement.

who cares?! haha. mine was worse. i was at disneyland standing on my feet for 2 hrs waiting for the count down. and when i looked at my cellphone it said 53 min. so i was like "7 minutes!!!" and then the people up front said, at the same time, "5! 4! 3! 2! 1!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" so exactly at 12am 1/1/2007, i had a bewildered expression upon my face.

^ Wow, your cell phone is waay off.
That's odd..but i'm not surprised. haha. stuff like that happens a lot, i guess. Maybe. Well my clock was behind. So the TV was saying HAPPY NEW YEAR! and the clocks in my house still said 11:59. But that's our family's fault. |
