January: Had a job
End of January-February: Lost said job
March: PAX East! Hanging out with the best people! Having fun! Woo!
March - November: Most fruitless job search ever. Thank God for unemployment benefits and still living at home.
Somewhere in there, I visited my brother's house a couple times, went to the season opener for the Giants at Fed Ex Field, went to the hospital for some weird infection thingy.
Had a pretty crazy mental breakdown in January, but got a pretty cool job and have managed to stay in the same apartment for an entire year. So that's pretty coo.
other than the company I work for getting broken up into two pieces and the larger part being sold to another company, my year has been pretty uninteresting
End on
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us
I mean, it's what I wanted to do after the stress of university (I still get regular nightmares about not finishing an assignment), but next year I have to step things up, I don't want to be stuck in retail for the rest of my life.
2011 could have been worse, I guess
Much better than the trainwreck that was 2010
I started therapy for my anxiety, which has helped
Also started Kung Fu, which has been awesome
Played a ton of great videogames

finished high school
started college
maybe I'll find a student job
it's been a pretty decent year. finished my first year of grad school, ran my first 5k and first 10k, worked in a bookstore, made it past the first few phases of a very competitive fellowship process (still waiting on the results of the latest round), turned 24 yesterday. next year promises to be scary, what with graduation looming and having to figure out what to do next, but hopefully it will be good-scary!

holy shit (heh) Munkus, you and Stale need Skynet-brand cybernetics.
(glad to hear you're doing better now...Counsel!)
2011 has been...interesting.
Jan - May 2011: holy crap grad school senioritis + awesome girlfriend = who gives a fuck bout school
May 2011 - beginning of July 2011: studying for the Bar. life SUCKS. girlfriend still there, but i don't see her much. ugh.
end of July: Bar exam: FUCK THIS SHIT.
August 2011: recovery, WELCOME TO PAAAAAXXXX, schoollessness, joblessness
September 2011: gf breaks up with me out of the blue. good times. still no job.
October 2011: now depressed and still no job.
November 2011: hangouts with the Santa Monica/LA SE people. lots of time sunk into Diablo 3/SWToR betas. manage to land a job with a small but cool firm. life is starting to look ok...
November 18, 2011: i find out i actually fucking passed the CA Bar. SHIT YES.
tomorrow: i'm being sworn in as a full-blown lawyer.
tomorrow evening: going to do my damndest to avoid alcohol poisoning.
the smallest lie so far has been when AT&T told me my internet would be 25 dollars a month
but then billed me 204 including installation bullshit I'd never been told about
and then I called and got most of it dismissed and down to 45 bucks
then they ignored that and sent me a new bill with the same old amount
fucking assholes
I am terrible at remembering things so here's my best guess.
Jan: Back on ADHD meds. Became a quarter of a century old.
Feb: Bummed out by not getting raise at work (not even a cost of living increase)
Mar: ???
Apr: Cut ties to 2 friends I'd known since high school
May: Family dog was put down on mother's day. I still miss her. She was a little over 16 years old. corgi of my life
Jun/Jul: ???
Aug: PAX!! Met lots of forum folks ...and my boss quit
Sep: Coworker quit. I have to "temporarily" pick up the slack (am still doing these tasks... ). Helped friend move. Now have easy place to crash at in Seattle.
Oct: Celebrated 6 years with @irtehmongoose. Then he went and shattered his kneecap!
Nov: mongoose's surgery. Spend almost 2 weeks working from home to care for him. Layoffs at work, great for morale! Discovered MEAD
Unsure of dates:
- First half of the year, I lost 30-40 pounds. Am now maintaining ~140.
- Started attending a ladies mtg group at CK. ( also got some coworkers playing mtg :P )
- Started drawing kinda for realsies
beginning of the year: depressed, feeling like crud
end of the year: not depressed, consistently doing well in school.
Things are looking up!

February - Fuck Intelligent Agents, fuck this Honours project.
March - Fuck these Disparity Maps, fuck this Honours project.
April - Fuck this Honours Project, fuck this documentation.
May - Fuck fuck fuck Honours project deadline fuck fuck fuck. Oh yeah, started running.
June - Fuck Graduation. Good Honours grades, shitty degree class. Fuck. Ow my legs. Go to Belfast, get shot with paintball guns, get drunk, eat stuff, have massive bruises.
July - Fucking give me a job. run.
August - Fucking give me a job. run a bit less
September - Fucking give me a job. run a bit less
October - Fucking give me a job. Fuck running, it's cold outside.
November - Fucking give me a job. Too cold to run.
December - FUCKING.GIVE.ME.A.JOB. (Maybe have a job, they're due to get back to me today/early next week)

April: Minor promotion. Addition of some small duties to my existing ones. No big deal.
July: Co-worker quits. Addition of some not insignificant duties to my existing ones, but nothing I haven't done before.
August: Solution Architect leaves team. Addition of serious responsibility to my existing duties. Fortunately I'm just competent enough at my job to stay ahead of the flood.
September: Manager transfers teams. Promoted into her place. Addition of significant duties in addition to the three other peoples jobs I was already doing. Fortunately, we're in the 'dead period', and work loads are low, allowing me to keep up.
October: Promotion becomes official. Get insignificant pay rise to address the fact I'm now doing the work of 4 people. 2 people are added to my team, and I have to spend even more of my time training them up to standard.
November: Dead period definitely over. Overtime is a daily occurrence. Several work deadlines are missed and shit is beginning to slip.
December: New hires beginning to pull weight. Workloads easing off. I might actually manage to take a day off some time around the 25th.
That's unbelievably cool. Your new name is cool guy. Let's have sex.

January - AusPAX which was AWESOME and also wrapping up my job at the volleyball association so that I could start work at...
February - my fieldwork placement at the children's hospital
March - placement continues and hardcourt season starts up again
April - placement still going, hardcourt season in full swing
May - last full month of placement, I find that I am loving the work I am doing and don't want to give it up
June - fly to Beijing to visit my family, which goes surprisingly well
July - a month off that I spend mainly getting ready to go back to class and also having a cursory look at my visa options once my degree ends
August - uni resumes and it's a LOT of work and it feels like the semester is shorter than usual
September - a pretty chill month that culminates in my kneecap getting dislocated in the final week
October - recovery from the injury and completion of uni work, including a massive presentation that I got lots of props for doing
November - finish my degree (hooray!) wisdom tooth surgery and freakouts about my visa paperwork coupled with job applications; also Blake gets a new car and a new suit in a single day
December - Skyrim just came in the mail today so I imagine this month will be easier since I have a distraction from the visa stress
The Ironically-Named ManPax wherein some guys hung out at a lake house in Manitoba and drank a lot and played video games and just hung out with maybe a little bit of yelling about Catan.
At some point I went to Iowa to hang out with forum user faynor and some of his weird midwest friends and we went to the Iowa state fair
I guess before those things happened I graduated highschool, but that was uneventful
September, I moved here to Eugene and since then I have been loving living in a less-shitty place
October 28th was my first major blackout-drunk experience, that was cool I guess. Probably won't do that much, if ever again!
More recently I have purchased a PS3 so now I am a dirty console gamer.

Crawford you just need to re-examine your perspective. Don't look at it as blacking-out but time traveling.
then my girlfriend for two and a half years and I broke up. Which, on it's own was not necessarily a bad thing. It needed to be done.
May through August was crazy party times and I also got fired and had 3 different girls lead me on so I would drive them around or pay for stuff so that was fun
and then August through October was pretty dull and shitty because the friends I had still in town never wanted to do anything other than get SO HIGH and sit around and do nothing and would bitch whenever I voiced dissent. Plus a bunch of bullshit with a girl, a common theme.
Then October through now has been pretty lonely and boring and filled with school finances bullshit and my friends deciding to never talk to me and basically being that forever alone guy

e: i also turned 21 this year! hi5 dave
It's been a fruitful year.
We are the coolest 21 year olds.
I somehow wound up hanging out with this group of black dudes in a parking lot, that is one of the things that happened that night.
