    That's when you know you've been spending too much time on the internet. So was your low point the sheer sense of desperation?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15 YourAMentalist


    For the first time in a while I will be sad to see this year end and delighted for a new one to begin :)

    You'll last long.

    I just read your post history. All I can say is that you seem like a very sad individual indeed - registered / re-registered simply to post a load of bile, spiteful & hateful shite.

    Your life must be really empty if that's what you have to do for kicks.

    By your post history, I'd say you're 15 & live at home with your ma.

    If you ever get to earn 100 grand a year, I'd be very surprised.

    Be careful, those people are the people you depend on. They cook your meals, they empty your bins, they connect your calls, they drive your ambulances...
    They guard you while you sleep. DO NOT fuck with them.

    I was just talking to my Mam about this earlier, this year has been decidedly medium for me. No real highs or lows come to mind, I've kind of just been treading water for the past while.

    Hopefully next year will be better, I'll be going back to college, taking my ukulele lessins seriously and properly trying to get my full license.

    High - Summer in Africa

    Low - Getting 'courted' and consequently dumped by my best friend of the opposite sex.

    High: Getting a motorbike and two puppies.

    Low: Pretty much everything else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    Hmm cant really think of any major highs and lows...
    High was probably transferring to a new job at the start of the year
    Low...well I cant think of anything in particular so thats definately a good sign. Was a non eventful year, but thats not to say it wasnt great in its way, I had a good 2011.

    As for this year, it's starting grim but I say bring it on.
