    Would love to come back to this in a year!

    Work:
    Hopefully have done my course and will be working away

    Home:
    Renting with my wonderful boyfriend somewhere

    Internet:
    Still addicted

    Relationship:
    Still loved up, even moreso!

    Weight:
    Probably stay around the same

    General:
    Would like to be richer, healthier and happier!

    OK, here goes for this day in 2008:

    Work: I will be busy ruling the world as I plan to take it over in early february. If that doesnt pan out out I'll probably be where I am now. Plotting.

    Home I will be sitting smugly in my new mansion that I'll will build in the Dublin mountains, looking out at the redirected liffey as it rolls majestically southwards down what was the M50 to enter the sea near Bray, all the while smiling down smugly on the residents of the newly expanded northside.

    Relationship I will be still happily married to Mrs D, but will be very busy ruling the world so she might be a little put out. Unless as I say, the world-taking over thing doesnt work out.

    Internet There will be no internet this time next year, though that wont be my doing. The Y2K08 bug will wipe it out on April 22nd. So you wont be able to see how much of this I got right.


    General We will all be happier now that the internet is gone, and we have to go out to meet our friends.

    Work: Hopefull will be graduating from college with my worthless degree. Will have to take a year out working full time, in order to muster up some money for my Masters.

    Right and wrong. Wont be graduating from college due to lack of motivation but I am working full time

    Home: Move in with the significant other, so I can leech food/money etc

    Wrong. Said other half has issues with me being a leech

    Internet: Probably will still be raping my credit card

    Still true, sadly

    Relationship: Hopefully the bf's sanity will keep us together 'til then

    Sanity is waning, I reckon

    Weight: WTF? I don't have a clue what I weigh now, and I really don't care

    Still stands

    General: Vow never to go to Dublin for a year unless absolutley vital. Still passing my evenings watching all manners of Law and Order, CSI and The West Wing. Still travelling overseas to follow my favourite bands around Europe.

    My evenings are now without The West Wing, but I still have my box sets.
    Vow on no travelling to Dublin, broken already due to the need to attend GAA maches and I've only travelled to one concert this year :(


    With reference to the past 2 years:

    Work Now working in Recruitment on the HSE. Shíte job with shíte money but'll it'll pay for postgrad degree. Hopefully next year I'll be doing something fulfilling.

    Home Other half still fearful of living with me and avoids the subject at all costs. I hope that'll be resolved next year. Now renting with alcoholic friends.

    Internet Comments of the last 2 years still stand

    Relationship He's still here anyway

    Weight I still dont know and dont care

    General Still avoiding Dublin as necessary. And I am travelling a lot to concerts overseas and plan to do a lot more of it next year.

    How are they related? I still fit into my clothes, and if anything I've lost weight, but I'm not anal about it like a lot of women.

    Meant nothing by it, idle thoughts, sorry :(

    If I could have done one from 2005 I would have never have imagined what the future could bring, from getting married to getting cancer it has been both the worst and best time of my life - the future looks more exciting though.

    Work Hopefully decentralised to some place with my husband avoiding the Dublin traffic, a promotion for one or both of us would not hurt either.

    Home Moved to other part of country to a house with a garden and greenhouse (for our 8ft cactus)...I want a garden!

    Internet Still an internet addict.

    Relationship Celebrating 1 year and 9 months of blissfully happy married life.

    Weight Still the same weight, though a bit more toned. Maybe if I am bold and lucky we will be pregnant (against doctors advice).

    General Still clear from cancer, happily married and a lot more chilled than this year which was the toughest of my life so far.

    Work: I will hopefully be in my final year of college, though I am considering jacking it all in and doing another course.

    2006: Right! I am now in 4th Year.

    2007: Just graduated with honours!!!

    Home: Me and Phoebe the cat will hopefully have moved out, sick of living with my parents! Unfortunately there's birds and a bunny to be considered as well.

    2006:Wrong! I moved out for the summer, the novelty wore off so I'm back home again now, got fed up wondering if I need milk, have clean clothes etc.

    2007: Again, moved out for the summer but came home again!

    Internet: I will still be hooked. My love for the Internet is unconditional.

    2006: Right
    2007: some things never change

    Relationship: I will hopefully be in a nice long-term relationship with someone nice who loves me and treats me well (read: unlike anyone else I've ever been with). Up and until then I intend to continue to be a dirty slut kissing boys who I hope will never call.

    2006: Wrong! Have stayed single the whole year, never met anyone I was that bothered with.
    2007: now with the love of my life!!!

    Weight: Hopefully my marvellous metabolism will not have slowed down so I can continue to eat everything in sight and still be skinny!

    2006: Yep!!!
    2007: yep

    General: I hope to be a good deal happier and more secure than I am now.

    2006:Yep!!!
    2007: mm hmm

    I also hope to visit New York and London.

    2006: New York and London no, but Las Vegas yes!!!!!

    2007: nada

    Ok, Gonna try for 4 october 07

    Work: I will be finishehed my 5 month work placement in either galway or dublin and back in NUIG for my degree year, hopefully.

    Home: If I work in galway I will still live in bridgewater court, if not, I will be living in teh city somewhere.

    Internet: I'll be spamming boards and pm'ing hot young females whilst confusing people about my sex.

    Relationship: Hopefully going out with [strike]Avril Lavigne[/strike] my wonderful girl still.

    Weight: I'll still be in the 11 - 11.5 stone weight bracket I would imagine.

    General: On my way to a degree, happy, spamming, downing much coke, and with my beautiful lady. Also hopefully richer than I am now. I hope to have left the country at least once in the next year and go to many concerts. Possibly meet some new boardsers and I hope to see the ones I like a few more times.



    Work: Was Right

    Home: Yeah, living in Bridgewater.

    Internet: damn straight I am.

    Relationship: Yup, right.

    Weight: gf fattened me!

    General: Have more money, just went to alton towers at the weekend and have gotten a few concerts in, not to bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 38 Bex81


    Work: Hopefully Ill have gained enought experience to do what I love all by my lonesome... Im getting there, though itll probably take more than a year to be able to finance such a move

    Internet: Hopefully will be using it far less as Ill have so much work to do I wont have time

    Relationship: Been single for quite a while now so wouldnt mind givin another relationship a go soon. Though I do enjoy my independance a bit too much at the mo

    Weight: Im quite happy with my figure at the moment, though it would probably do no harm to tone up a little

    General:All in all I guess it could be worse. I do want to do more travelling in the near future, but at the moment the career comes first


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,815 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    Work: Hopefully I'll still be working full-time in the same place. I've been here since March '07 and its going good so far.

    Home: I'll have moved out of my parents house (for the second time ;)) and gotten somewhere to stay by myself with room for my basses. I'm guessing by this stage I'll have at least 6? :D

    Internet: I'll still be using it in '08, and hopefully I'll have gotten off my arse and done something with my website. :(

    Relationship: Single at the moment, but crappy short relationships seem to come along every now and then. Maybe I'll be with someone next year. :) Probably not though...haha

    Weight: I'll have lost some weight and hopefully reversed the beginnings of my beer belly. :p

    General: By this time next year I hope to have travelled a bit more, I haven't really gone many places. None of that fecking off to Australia like other people though. I also hope to have improved my bass playing and joined a good band. I also think I will be partaking in some form of evening course. not sure what, maybe Spanish lessons? :)
    I'll have also gotten a car....at least I hope so! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,048 ✭✭✭SimpleSam06


    Work: Complete the expansion of a hideously faceless corporate empire which will take advantage of the turmoil in international money markets in order to stir up dissent and drive the masses against their hapless leaders, combined with a couple of biochemical disasters and the launch of the warbot army that has been in construction on the defunct ISS (on the pretext of ensuring peace in the middle east), using recently mastered techniques of lunar and asteroid zero-g mining.

    By the way, those of you reading this know too much, please remain where you are, operatives are en route to resolve the data dissemination.

    Home: Thats where the heart is, although if you glanced at the previous paragraph, the rest of you might be elsewhere.

    Internet: The computer is your friend.

    Relationship: Threesome with Japanese twins. I'm all over that one.

    Weight: About as heavy as my many cloned brothers, minus the brain, of course.

    General: I guess, maybe grow a goatee.

    Work: I just don't know. Probably be working in some crap job back in Dublin, as I was before I left
    Yep, when i got back I was indeed back in the same job, but I moved from there after Xmas to another, better job. More money, but also more travel. But it's worth it.

    Next year, I want to be still working for the same company, but have moved up a bit in terms of position and pay scale.
    DesF wrote:
    Home: Aha, probably be back in with the parents.
    Again, I was right, but in March I moved into an apartment with a friend I've had since my first in Junior Infants, so that's great.

    Next Year, I'll still be living there, or possibly renting with my gf. More than likely there though.
    DesF wrote:
    Internet:I shall still be posting on boards, and the other MB's I post on. Still be reading Wikipedia.
    Same, same. apart from not reading Wiki as much as I used to.

    Next Year. Hmm, hopefully a project myself and a friend have planned for a while can get off the ground, it started last winter, but some personal issues meant it needed to be put on the back burner. Things are getting going again though. So fingers crossed.

    Heh, i had no relationship two years ago, nor a year ago, but just before Xmas I got with my gf. She's deadly, apart from the fact that in June she abandoned me for a World Trip. She'll be back soon though.

    Next year. She'll definitely be back, and we'll still be together.

    [/quote]Weight: I will be lighter in a year than I am now. Beer belly will be gone.[/quote]
    I hope the BGRH Brothers aren't reading this. I'm not lighter, and my beer belly isn't gone.:D

    Next Year. No change.

    [/quote]General: I'll be relatively well travelled, having seen Thailand, the entire coast of Australia, New Zealand and some of the USA, namely LA, San Fran, San Diego and Vegas. Included in that are almost every county of Ireland, apart from Leitrim, but who wants to go there anyway. Wales, England, Isle of Man, Belgium, Spain, Greece. I'll be thinking of taking off again, probably to see Eastern Europe or Scandanavia. Eastern Europe will be cheaper to see, so probably there first.[/QUOTE]
    I'm back just over a year, and haven't been out of the country, apart from a couple of trips to Wales.

    This time next year, I'll definitely have seen some of Eastern Europe.

    Relationship: Happily together with the love of my life.
    Crying myself to sleep every night

    General: Want to pick up French again. Not likely to happen, tho
    Picked up a French girl tho
    2008: Did French a bit but lost interest, again

    Work: I hope to be in the same job. Realistically its very unlikely but with a baby on the way and hoping to build a house I really hope not to have too much financial turmoil
    Home: I hope to be just about ready to move into my new house. A lot of things haev to go right for it to happen but heres hoping.
    Internet: If I lose my job boards will become a real treat on weekends because I only have dial up at home and ridiculously low speeds should come with a health warning of potential slit wrists due to frustration
    Relationship: Well I aint too long married so it'll probably stay that way unless I **** up on a drnken night out
    Weight: I'll definitely have lost weight. I don't care what it takes to make it happen. Hopefully running around after a new baby will help lose it.
    General: The next year is a big year with a lot happening and a lot of plans. Fingers crossed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,159 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Work - Just got promoted to editor so if I'm still over here this time next year I hope to be doing that.

    Home - Most likely still be renting in Oz waiting for the recession to end so I can go home and get a mortgage.

    Internet - Boards every day most likely if the job is the same. As well as the countless online manager games and fantasy leagues I do.

    Relationship - Well it's been over 6 years so next year will be over 7.

    Weight - Don't need to lose weight per se but toning up would be real nice.

    General - Who knows what will happen. Plan is to go home to Ireland, just not sure when, though doubt it will be in the next 12 months.

    Lets see how horrifically wrong i get these

    Work:
    At the moment i'm working 2 different Jobs (Interview today for a third one) while trying to do my masters, so hopefully this will all be behind me and i can be working for a games company that doesn't suck hole

    Masters done, got a job in the games industry. 2 for 2.
    Home:
    Lord only knows, probably somewhere in the UK i'd imagine, though the states and europe are also possible. Wherever the Job takes me.

    The Isle of Wight.... ohh well, at least i was right.
    Internet:
    Probably still on here. might have even broken the 1500Post barrier by then. Quality, not quantity.


    Yeah, i lie to myself alot

    Nearly doubled my post count. I blame the lisbon treaty debate.
    Relationship:
    Been single for about 10Months after i made a giant ****up. This time next year, dunno. I'm kinda enjoying slutting about.

    Still single, still slutty and oh so classy.
    Weight:
    trying to drop that last stubborn bit, but not trying very hard. I hope to be roughly the same if not a wee bit less belly-rific this time next year

    Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies?
    General:
    I'm peeved that i havn't traveled more, so the following places & events are pencilled in for next year

    Japan
    Tokyo Games Show
    America
    Burning Man
    Easten Europe (poland etc etc)
    Sweden

    No, no, no, no and no. But i did get to paris, and i've booked a trip to new orleans and Canada for early next year.
    Let the year of Fail commence!

    Once more, with feeling.

    We still have not decentralised but we are in the same department now and are due to decentralise shortly - also, am in a job that I love (IT)

    We can not sell our house at the moment, but we are trying...

    Am more happily married than I ever thought possible :D

    We are trying for a baby now.

    The past year has been good and bad, I had another cancer scare a few weeks ago that really got to me but I am OK and enjoying life. Changing job to something that I love is a huge thing, as is working in the same building as my husband, we meet up for coffee and lunch now which is brilliant. What would be lovely would be to start a family...
