I know we already discussed your forum memories in another thread, but let's talk about life in general. What are some of this year's happenings that you will most remember? They can either be personal or newsworthy events. I'll start:
Personal:
- Having shoulder surgery and being out for a month. I saw who my true best friends were when people went out of their way to visit me.
- Getting bit by a dog while covering a fire.
- Solidifying my seniority at work.
- Buying my first Brand New car.
- Seeing the end of my 10-year no-vomit streak come to an end.
- Going to my first wedding.
- Becoming a poker addict.
News/Entertainment
- The entire Benoit situtation
- The Minnesota bridge collapse
- Transformers!!
- Meeting Sigourney Weaver
I'm sure there are others, but I'd have to think about it.
How about all of you?

Hah, I didn't get married. My friend got married, and it was almost ruined when the stupid step-mother-in-law started talking on her phone during the ceremony.

Well, the Bhutto Assassination is pretty newsworthy; a lot of people are worried of what will come from it. The Benoit thing, obviously. As for me, seeing Slayer and Marilyn Manson live was pretty cool. My 2007 has pretty much sucked.

2007 was probably my best year, despite the last month or so being utter crap....
Personal:
Passing my driving test on July 4th (after the 9th time, God bless America!)
Seeing Ricky Gervais and Klaxons live.
Watching Simian Mobile Disco blow Klaxons out of the water
Going to Canada and seeing Toronto Rapters play, going to Skydome!!
Arsenal being top for the first time in 3 years and staying there for 3 months.
Arsenal beating Man U 2-1 at Emirates (unbelievable atmosphere)
Arsenal beating Chelsea 1-0 after 3 years of waiting.
Arsenal constantly making Spurs are bitch, again.
Arsenal 7 Slavia Prague 0 !!! (Never has football been so fun)
Being live at RAW in London and watching Cena and HBK have an unbelievable match
Going to Cardiff for the Carling Cup final (despite the result and nightmare journey, still an amazing performance from the young Guns)
Having a great group of friends for the first time since school (even if it seems to be coming to the end now).
Lows:
Benoit
Getting dumped the day after my birthday, by text.
The trip to Cardiff (hell on earth)
Arsenal getting knocked out of 3 cups within 10 days and the sudden fear of what happens next.
Failing theory test by 1 point (got it right in the end bah gawd)
My auntie dying.

Passing my final assignment and going to University.
Mostly because I never expected to do it. There were so many doubters when I was young and medical people telling my mother I'd never account to anything because of my Autism.
When I stepped into my Accomidation and went to my first class, it was a giant 'Screw you' to all of them. And it was great.
Apart from that, this year is one I'd rather forget. 2008 can't come fast enough.

Sadly, the only big moments this year have been bad ones.
- My dog of 12 years having to be put to sleep
- Chris Benoit tragedy
- Falling out with one of my best friends
That's not to say it's been a horrible year, but those were the only big events, sadly.

Did have some pretty crap memories like people I admired and respect doing something that made lose any respect I had for them (Chris Benoit, Chris Langham) One moment that made me sad was when Australian radio station Triple M axed the awesome radio show 'Get This with Tony Martin' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_ThisThe show was really popular due the comedic styles of hosts Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee and panel operator Richard Marsland. They often talked about movies, food and other geeky stuff. It was bullshit the way it was axed (MMM wanted to focus on winning the Breakfast radio ratings and so they wanted to free up some money) The cancellation caused people to protest outside the radio station in Melbourne and Sydney. I'm hoping the show gets picked up somewhere else. Well I will always have the podcasts I kept. |
