[comic book guy] WORST YEAR EVER! [/comic book guy]

But I am staying positive, things can only go up from here :)

I'm with hummer on this one. This had to of been the worst year ever. I started off the year with surgery on my back and I get to end the year with surgery on my knee. (december 30, 2002) In the middle i wrecked 2 cars, my brother joined the marines, got raped, was in court at least 30 times, met a great guy, fucked that up spent christmas alone. got kicked out of my moms house for the 4th and final time. Oh and sold the only things that made me somewhat happy, my cars. so, that was my sucky year. Hope you guys had a better one than me. but I can only go up now right...how much lower can i really go?



EDIT 10:02 pm Eastern US time
oh and i forgot to mention...I lost my dog of 18 years too :(

hmm...got a raise, totaled 1st car, bought dream car, got transferred to job duties that were more suited to me, visited family a lot, did a lot of yapping on AF, new car got vandalized, went to Seattle and Oregon, got engaged.

Highlights: the people I met on AF
Disasters: 2002
Things you'd like to do again: nothing springs to mind
Things best forgotten: 2002
Ambitions realised: doubt it
Plans thwarted: Yup

Well, up and down. I grew closer to all my friends, Learned what I really beleived in and what I really wanted out of life. At the same time, I fucked up the end of High School enough not to get into the degree I wanted and burned some people close to me. So all in all, just another goddamn year. But wish I could've done a few things differently.

Finally got my learners licence.
Went to school for the final year. First day of school get told by my GF of over a year she wants to break up with me.
Fucked up a good potential friendship.
Good friend of mine got drug-raped. I get shingles from the stress.
Some of my shit gets stolen at our prom which gets a 5/10 for the whole night...I went alone...at the afterparty watched a close friend of mine get horribly drunk and high and almost get into a really bad situation.
Found out who my real friends were. (good and bad)
Found AF :D
Had a friend attempt suicide.
Had exams.
Finished school forever :)

Hmmmm...twas interesting...

Let's hope next year is better....

Wow, I was just wallowing in self pity about the year past, started with ending a "meaningful" relationship, then broke my collarbone in two places, resulting in a massive lump. Most of my good friends moved away in the span of 6 months, my business folded, and I moved to a part of town I hate and got stuck into a 6 month lease...

Reading your post makes me realize I've got absolutely nothing to bitch about though, Angel... Sad to hear someone had a worse year than I did, and I'm sorry to hear it was you :(

Well............Got my first car, pretty much found out who I am, had a few run-ins, completed 6th Form Certificate with reasonable grades, got my Learners AND Restricted lisence, improved my standard of my models, fixed my troublesome computer, got lots of material gifts from my parents, watched my parents marriage turn to shit.



Average year indeed

Highlights - annual Vegas trip, annual trip to Renaissance Festival, decided to go back to school
Disasters - Alex and I split up for a bit, my mom got laid off her job
Things you'd like to do again - Vegas! (coming up next week!)
Things best forgotten - the disaters :(

Hey man, I'm actually living down in Woburn at the moment. I was at Hutt High :)

Well it has not been a banner year for me. Went through a lot of personal conflicts and issues but soldiered on and straighten myself out finally.

About the only bright spot was getting friends back I pushed away and then my first full year with the GTR which was pretty expensive but worth it so far.

Highlights Finally got my car finished and entered in its first show. Keeping my job after more cut backs.
Disasters? Getting further in the crap with money and family problems
Things you'd like to do again? Go to Auckland and get drunk at the nationals again
Things best forgotten? How the world has become such a hateful place
Ambitions realised? Still working on that
