We only have a month or so left in this decade! Crazy!
We can finally enter into the Teens, but first lets remember the past ten years.
What were you doing and what notable events do you remember from:
So break it down for me, SE. What do you remember from the past ten years?
We can finally enter into the Teens, but first lets remember the past ten years.
What were you doing and what notable events do you remember from:
THE YEAR 2000
George W. Bush takes office. I am in grade 10 and 15 years old. I am still a practising Christian.
THE YEAR 2001
9/11 never forget. Tycho magnetic anomaly 1 is found on the moon. I start dating my first girlfriend named Emily ( who I met through church) we both become atheists and start having sex. We break up shortly after.
THE YEAR 2002
Spider-Man comes out in theatres. It is awesome. I took a trip to Jamaica. It was awesome. The forums are destroyed. It is awesome.
THE YEAR 2003
Human genome project is completed. I graduate from highschool a year early, and decide to take some time off before university. I also take a trip to south korea and sample salty dongs.
THE YEAR 2004
Half-Life 2 comes out. I start school at the University of Waterloo. I also start working at Imprint, the campus newspaper, and meet some of my best friends.
THE YEAR 2005
The treacherous Decepticons have conquered the Autobot's home planet of Cybertron. I join the forums! I start wasting increasing amount of time on the internet, start drawing a horrible webcomic, and take up smoking.
THE YEAR 2006
Stephen Harper becomes Prime Minister of Canada. My student loan is denied, and I live for three months being essentially homeless. Given the choice between buying groceries or smoking, I quit smoking.
THE YEAR 2007
Vladamir Putin is named Time's Man of the Year. I graduate from university and decide that I hate my major. Lots of fighting. My parents separate. I move to Toronto to start a second degree at OCAD, doing school part-time while working for a computer hardware website.
THE YEAR 2008
Barack Obama becomes the blackest president ever. I meet my current girlfriend and fall in love.
THE YEAR 2009
Swine flu. I move to a new apartment and for the first time become a lease holder. I play far too much Mount and Blade. Bogey and I get married and have twins, Boglo and Roley.
So break it down for me, SE. What do you remember from the past ten years?

the last half has been awful thanks to my prick roommate and moving away from all my old friends
2010 should be good
2001 - graduated, started at villanova. also lost my virginity with a lesbian who later broke my heart. was really emo

2009 is also the first time in my life that I have had "girl problems." What a learning experience that was, haha.
I guess members of the opposite sex like me more at college than at high school. And members of the same sex.
