Aeghast wonders.. how was your year? A 'best/worst of 2008' thread

[04nbod]

best of this year- passing my first year of Uni
worst of this year- my nan passing away.

Life- Could be better
Girls- One entire big waste of time, didn't get laid as much as I thought I would
Guys- I don't even hang with my dude friends anymore
Friends- Lost a couple to drama and bs
Job- Worked a few places, got fired a bunch of times



Not enough vag in my life, to many parking tickets, not enough loyal friends, not enough money.

Like I have said, this has been a great year for me, with some bad moments and other odd ones.

Best: Hard to say, cause many things happened I am proud of this year. I guess I'll go with moving into an apartment close to my college. No longer with the rents

Worst: Failing to land this girl I have a crush on

Oddest: Learning my mother is transgendered (though I'm a heavy supporter of this)

Good thing is you're cool with it.

It was an odd thing at first, but I got used to the idea easily. I mean, my mom is still the same person. That hasn't changed.

F**k 2008.

 

[PyroChamber]

Well, let's see...

- I still have a job, and they've put me in charge of one section there
- I finally got an Xbox 360
- Got to see, and own, all the movies I wanted to see this year (Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and Dark Knight)
- My grandfather passed away last week
- I still don't have a girlfriend, and haven't had any luck with the ladies
- One of my friend's and his wife got a divorce

So overall I'd say it's been a mixture of good and bad points.

Best - I fell in love for the first time

Worst - I had my heart broken for the first time

Hahaha, that is just priceless....Could you expand on that?

She went to the same synagogue as me and suddenly became convinced i was beating up her 5-year old daughter. she even called the police who gave her a big ear-slapping about false charges (she didnt even have an inkling of proof). then i walked by her house on the sidewalk and curb and she started screaming how i was "trasspassing" . so i sent her a letter saying if she does it again i would press charges AND sue her, so that stopped it.

 

[The Senator]

This was a strange year for me. It started off strongly with an internship with a U.S. Senator, then started to unravel after my uncle died. My family had a bit of a falling out with one another over the summer, and I had a few personal problems of my own I had to deal with. I spent a month in New Mexico over the summer, which was nice yet stressful at the same time. Then in the fall, everything in my personal life managed to sort itself off, and I finished the previous semester with a good GPA, and now I'm looking at job opportunities for next year.

Plus, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, which has given me a chance to be proud of this country for the first time in roughly six years.

This has been an interesting year for me. 2007 Was great. I finished up my most exciting year of selling cars. Filed 80000 with my Uncle Sam for 2007. Then around February, I know some of you don't believe as I do, but I felt like God was telling me to get out of the business, so I did. I went 4 months without finding another job, at least I had some savings from selling cars, so I did OK. Then I started working for Lowes. The income was a drastic cutback, so I had to adjust my way of living. Then in August, I had twins and I'm getting married in 2009. So, overall, 2008 started ok, then I went through a valley, and the year ended very good. 2009 looks too blow away 2008 and I can't wait. OH, and by October of 2008 I know why God told me to get out of the car business. The owner of the dealership got sued and had to close all 17 of his stores.

I could say '08 was really crappy for me, my uncle passed away, had money troubles for half the year, then my sister got into a bad car accident (didn't get hurt too badly though) and a week or two later I partially severed my achilles tendon training for the Chicago Marathon, which killed that dream and landed me in a cast for July and August. However, I still have a job, my achilles is pretty much back to normal and I'm training for a new marathon in May. Also, in some ways the injury is the reason I met the girl I'm seeing now, the injury took away a lot of plans I had for the summer and put me in a position to try different things. So if things work out with us, that really bad experience could lead to something great.
