what will you remember?

(i'll post later)

[IceFire]

What will I remember from 2008?

Its the year I finally got promoted (twice), bought a car, took a trip overseas, and accepted some of the stupid things in life.

Its the year where the Canadian government dropped to new levels of stupid, the year that Bush got a shoe thrown at him, the year that Bush is finally out of office and someone good is in office in that country to the south of me.

Its the year that went past largely as I had predicted it...except for the economy falling out and the oil prices dropping like a rock.  I was expecting that a bit later.  But here we are and thats how it is.  So long 2008...your been a slightly better than average year for me. I'm hoping for more from 2009.

QFT

for me it's that and the year i avoided any major sports injuries - and for me that's an accomplishment and a half

other than that - average.

oh yeah and that year of the mass stack panics that half the wold predicted

[ssmit132]

Most of my memories will come from school. 

Although I will remember getting broadband  , and being in England for New Year 2008, and a few other things. Oh, also freaking out on The Giant Drop. 

Obama being elected, and then us talking about him probably getting assassinated at school (do not start a discussion on this here), the economic crisis, Large Hadron Collider, and Sark abolishing Feudalism.

EDIT: Frak, forgot the Bejing Olympics! 

[Mongoose]

It was the year the Phillies won the World Series, which brought myself and this entire region an immense amount of joy.

Unfortunately, it was also the year I was intending to earn my college degree, but didn't.

All in all, good riddance, and let's see what's next.

[Nuke]

doing nothing of value (to hlp)

mainly i just smoked weed and played my guitar, but at least i had sex a few times this year

finally achieved a state of the art gaming rig, which has blown up twice

got my own apartment

oh and i cut my hair

[Narvi]

It's the year I first voted.

[Titan]

the year i went on my first trip to disney (we went in january, i didn't want someone to know then come stalk me while i was there)

The year my school choir actually did GOOD

the year i joined TotT

the year i made 30+ folders for various wip mods, none of which got completed

the year i got busted for downloading a virus by accident, screwing our computer, and overreacted about it

[Wobble73]

The year I was glad to see the back of! Honestly, I've had nothing but bad luck all year, the wife getting ill, quitting her job, setting up business, then getting another job and falling very ill. Not to mention the rows we've had this year, roll-on 2009!

[Hellstryker]

The year I got a state of the art gaming rig.

The year I got the dreaded Vundo on the said rig.

The year in which I almost commited suicide.

The year in which I almost commited suicide again.

The year in which my vendetta against Karajorma began.

The year in which we got rid of that mother****er bush.

The year in which the said mother****er got a shoe thrown at him.

The year in which november - december have consisted of the following events, in order:

Learned a friend got cancer, my grandma got sick, my mom got sick, my mom got her thumb screwed up, the cake was burnt on my birthday, the turkey had feathers in it, I got a ****ing huge stye on my eye, I acquired the dreaded vundo and spent a day cleaning it out, my best friend broke up with his girlfriend, my grandma got sick again (and had to have surgery done).

[karajorma]

The year in which my vendetta against Karajorma began.

You'll have to get in line little man.

[colecampbell666]

The year I finally got a new PC (waiting for tomorrow)

The year Bush got what was coming.

The year in which I did pretty much nothing of consequence.

The year I entered high school.

Probably a bunch of other stuff happened, but I can't think of it right now.

[Hellstryker]

The year in which my vendetta against Karajorma began.

You'll have to get in line little man.

If it makes you feel better, i'm as guilty as (I percieve) you to be. Such petty arguments should be kept off of HLP.

But enough of that, let's hear about your year 

[pecenipicek]

the year i hooked up with my wife-to-be
the year i finished highschool
the year where i didnt manage to get into college thanks to the aforementioned highschool
the year where i didnt manage to get any friggin job. at all...


thats about it. i'd guess.

[Polpolion]

The year I entered high school.

You're only a year younger than me, but I'm already a junior. Do Canadians start schooling differently or something?

[General Battuta]

The year in which my vendetta against Karajorma began.

You'll have to get in line little man.

Can I get a brief explanation of this? There are plenty of rows on HLP, even with people as generally reasonable as Karajorma, but they rarely lead to vendettas. I've had big fights with Trashman, Akalabeth Angel, and Bob-san, but I don't have any hard feelings over them.

How could you have a grudge against Kara? Is it over the success of Diaspora? I can't see many other reasons, and since it sounds like you're depressed, you might consider just chalking it up to unreasoning emotion and trying to let it go.

[Rick James]

For me, this will mostly be the year wherein my brief blossoming hope of a love life was crushed by a "just friends" speech. And also wherein I got a perfect score on my English final--booyeah, mother****ers.

[Stormkeeper]

This year is the year that I:

Watched over 100GB of anime in less than two months

Installed and completed NWN2 and KotoR I/II twice

Finished TimeShift in two days.

Learnt to make tiramisu.

Began writing my story.

Set my oven of fire

Help my sister overcome her fear of relationships.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

[Mars]

I graduated High School

I started college

I voted

I started going out with a girl I never thought I had a chance with

I went to a hooka bar

[KappaWing]

Same as Nuke-y Cakes,  minus the hair cutting and new apartment.

Hellstryker, I had a row with Karajorma a few years back myself. I said some things on sectorgame that came off as racist but hes a very reasonable guy and understands mistakes happen.
