mine's been an absolute dud.

tinyman  said about 5 years ago:

some new friends have cheered me up. some old friends i thought i'd lost has reappeared out of the blue. thank god for them. pretty good financially. i can support my cd buying habit.

health has been rather poor though.


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

you've been fucking "ace"? Well, I never!

It's been a good year...then again, I can't recall the last bad one.


davethescot  said about 5 years ago:

tripto, shhhh!!!!


stever  said about 5 years ago:

all good.


paulie  said about 5 years ago:

pretty ok for an even year.


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

> tripto, shhhh!!!!

Haha!

Pardon me for having a good year. I'm not stopping anyone else from the same.


Pip.  said about 5 years ago:

pretty "meh" with some good bits and some really, really bad bits that I want never to have to go through again.


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

Oh hang on...your "shhhh"ing me for the fucking ace comment, carry on. :-)

katiepotatie  said about 5 years ago:

an ok, average, ordinary year for me


Tony the Prawn  said about 5 years ago:

not bad

it's kind of an in between year (a year after a good year and before another hopefully good year), so I can accept that there hasn't been too much exciting stuff happening


madcans  said about 5 years ago:

good. so good i got fat.


Coz  said about 5 years ago:

My year has been kinda stressful, what with career worries (my main worry being a lack thereof) and a few stresses in my personal life, however it all seems to be turning around now and prospects for nnext year are looking good.


JScales  said about 5 years ago:

Some good, some bad. For example, every celebration this year has been pretty poor. Worst NYE, worst Easter, one of the worst birthdays and I will be spending Christmas alone. WOO FOR CELEBRATIONS!

On the otherhand, I broke up with my girlfriend and met a way better one. So that's good!

Thanks gobetween, it is cool. Plus, I forgot to add, after the break up I lost five kilos! That was pretty sweet.


mswahili  said about 5 years ago:

Musically, lots of bright spots...
which would have been more enjoyable had it not been another otherwise shitful year. Always the same song...

I'm sure there's a funny side to all this, hiding down the bottom of a bottle somewhere... there's certainly more than a touch of the ridiculous/farcical - y'know, like the 'tale told by an idiot', but without even the distraction of sound and fury.

Yeah I know, boo fucking hoo.


yokesthetenth  said about 5 years ago:

i didn't really get anywhere, feel like i'm in the same position i was in this time lst year, which is a bit depressing.

but i'm fit and healthy and i did some travelling so i can't complain. and 2007 is gonna be better.


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

This year started messily, and only got worse when someone really amazing died. It dilly-dallied upon the edge of complete surreality for some months. Some (relative) stability returned. People busy themselves to forget other things, some suggest. I don't remember meeting many people this year, but I did value the good ones more. And I found that despite the ever-swinging seesaw that is confidence (or: the ability to see a point in anything, in existing), I feel the dime is finally falling in favour of music again. But as the year comes to its reluctant end (there are those who say time quickens as you age, but not for me this year)... things are messy all over again. My health gets worse each year, and simultaneously, I realise I can be an emotionally irresponsible girl. Evasive at times.

It was possibly the strangest year of my life, though perhaps 1998 was hard to beat, with its array of innocent gestures against the Efficient Social, its experiments with acid, and its emotional flux.

Anyway, I am sorry to blab on. I hope you guys had a good year, even if it feels like it sucked right now... like braces, you might look back and be somewhat glad. Even in spite of yourself.


Peter  said about 5 years ago:

i can't imagine anyone really needing any, "counselling after the break up..." except if the "new boy on the scene already..." was the counsellor.


ourkid  said about 5 years ago:

Worst year on record for me.


brokenbrastraps  said about 5 years ago:

Something was lost. Something was gained.


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

Are you quoting The For Carnation?


brokenbrastraps  said about 5 years ago:

Nope. Have you seen our favourite princess yet?


scissors  said about 5 years ago:

If you mean the male one, yes.


raincoat  said about 5 years ago:

most altering year of my life. and im glad for it. definately feel ive turned that corner into adulthood - whatever that may mean.. more complications i tend to think.


ando  said about 5 years ago:

It's been pretty damn good.


PaulsGrandfather  said about 5 years ago:

Orright. Some ups, some downs. I agree with Tony the Prawn, it feels like an in-between year.


fethehellcat  said about 5 years ago:

SHIT. Thanks for asking.


Person3  said about 5 years ago:

yeah, not too bad.

I had a kidney removed which was a bit of a shock at age 20, but other than that, can't complain.

This year taught me that time slips from under your feet FAST and that sometimes you're in positions when you have no dignity. It's up to you to identify them and and swallow your pride. i say this for the benefit of any people who may be receiving major surgery in the next little while. Just relish the chance to have someone else wash you while you can.


DaisyB  said about 5 years ago:

this year finally got interesting - i was just given a Butthead mask!


imaginarylion  said about 5 years ago:

Bad, bad year. Got kicked out of my awesome house and had to move into a house with three role-playing gamers. Subsequently had a nervous breakdown and dropped out of uni. Moved home, worked in a supermarket, got my heart broken.

Bring on 2007, please.


shazzat  said about 5 years ago:

So, so, sooo much better than last year!!

A year of new beginnings... new home, new friends, new job, new man.

I did a lot more things on my never-ending "To Do" list, got really fit & healthy (after years of trashing my body), deferred uni, went back to uni, got my work published, bullshitted my way into some cool jobs, went to some of the best parties/gigs in years, saw some of the best films in years, grew my hair long again, dumped the ppl who were bringing me down, improved relations with my family, quit smoking, spent most of it being single and lovin it, then recently agreed to enter another relationship... which has been the best decision yet!

I think everything just goes in cycles. Last year was probably the worst on record... but it gave me a much needed reality check and I learned a lot, blah blah blah. So I reaped the rewards this year!

that's what happened to me this year. i hope you're right! i'm about due for some good luck.

my year began really well, then went horrible. multiple reasons. it seems to be improving now though.

hurry up 2007!!


selttiks  said about 5 years ago:

oh and i must add, i met some really cool people this year, and made some really good friends. definitely one of my 2006 highlights
