How was your 2013 experience, FAN?

[Sephiroth]

I can honestly say mine wasn't all that bad. I got settled into my first apartment, and also got settled into the best job I have held in a long time. I also purchased a car for the first time completely on my own and am already well ahead on paying it off, and despite that I saw my personal finances improve to the best they have ever been. My only real regret of the year is that I was not able to do more in terms of acting; my schedule has rendered community theater all but impossible, and it has been years since I did any film or television work. But now that I am settled in I am hoping to maybe change that by pursuing some weekend classes and re-signing with various casting companies to see if I can take any bit work on my days off. And of course it would have been nice to have gotten a little more "action" during the year, if you all get my meaning *aherm*. But overall I can say 2013 was a dern good year for me and I certainly hope all of you can say the same.

Pretty good.

Had steady employment.

My AFL team won the Grand Final.

Ended the year with a trip to Las Vegas, Disneyland, Universal Studios.

Nothing that bad really happened. Well to me, or my family members anyway.

[Freddy BooJangles]

Terrible

At the start of the year my grandfather suffered a heart attack & was put in the hospitial for the night
He had breathing issues so that he was hooked on a breathing device
Then he went to get surgery & was gone for 12 days
Then in April I was let go from my job
Then for 3 days this week me & grandpa lost power at our house.

I would say it was a step up from 2012, even though I thought 2012 was a good year for me.
-I worked a lot during the season and even though I got furloughed at the end, I still worked my ass off and never missed a day during that season.
-I got more of a social life than before.
-Even though I was already active, I started getting more active by doing strength-training.
-I got more and more serious about my goals in life and taking part in the campus newspaper really showed my seriousness.

I know that my year could have been better, but it was still good. Again, I thought it was a little better than 2012 for me.

[jamofpearls]

Overall, pretty good.
Everyone in my family is pretty healthy...physically. Mentally...that's another story.
Built my first gaming PC.
Quit Facebook.
Got a raise, and was told that they eventually want me to take over the company.
Started buying more locally, fresh grown produce and other local craft products.
Expanded my vinyl collection by leaps and bounds.
Taught myself how to do web design for my company.
Took up some light skateboarding.
Started collecting comics again, as my local record shop started supplying them.
My dad gave me his old cast iron smoker/griller.
Paid off/down some old debt, which will finally make me debt free in 2014...hopefully.
Got to see all of the following in concert: Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Reignwolf, Weezer, Mudhoney and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Pearl Jam came out with a new album.
Went to my first comic book convention, met Bruce Campbell and had a great convo.


I wish my FAN Family a great 2014.

[Amazing Kitsune]

The worst year of my life.

I lost my Father, my Grandfather, my great Uncle, and a close family friend within the span of 5 months. My Father's death, in particular, was shockingly sudden and unexpected. I can't put into words how profoundly sad this year has been.

[Deleted]

The best year of my life.

Got a job I absolutely love, made solid progress in my hobbies, got rid of a lot of people who were negative influences on my life while fully embracing those who were a huge positive, realized what a jerk I'd be for large portions of my life and decided to stop and really smell the roses. 2014 can bring it on.

[Deleted]

Terrible. Still in a temporary house, Dad's still had health issues, back and forth between my sister and the year has ended with me pretty much knowing I can't go to MAGfest because we're in the f***ing mountains.

I can't f***ing stand this.

[The Man They Call Asher]

Shitty. But I guess the only way is up from here.

[Deleted]

Lukewarm.

- Started off bad with familial issues.
- Slacked off in school. Eventually I started to get back on track in the Spring and passed 11th grade.
- In the summer, I went to my first RAW with my brother, had an awesome time.
- Now I'm a senior and it sucks.

I'm glad this year is coming to an end.

[Deleted]

Went to Paris and New York this year. Had a blast and some great memories

Proposed to my partner who said yes

My partner also fell pregnant this year and should be a father around end of June

So can't complain really

[Raskovnik]

One of the worst years I've ever had, so really just a continuation of 2012. It's ending on uncertain terms at best and I don't know what to expect from 2014.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Pretty good, now that I'm thinking about it.

- Self confidence is higher than it's ever been.
- Finally ended my miserable high school experience and am now a freshman in college.
- Made some new friends after being a loner for years.
- Started writing poetry which is a great outlet.

So yeah, I'm ready for 2014.

[Instant Classic]

graduated high school and got my first job, not bad.

[edgestar]

It was pretty good. I got to go to WrestleMania 29, and the Hall of Fame, I was able to get my Christmas shopping done early (which never happens). The only downside I would say, is when I had a seizure in June, that put me in the hospital for a few hours. I've felt fine since. I hope for a great 2014 for all of us!!

[Hurbster]

Had better. Got made redundant via email while on holiday. Tomorrow I'm officially unemployed. Probably for the best, it was a shit job for a small family firm that treated me like an outsider even after 9 years. Anyway, my Nan broke her hip and on top of everything else wrong with her it was pretty much the last straw for her, just a matter of time now.

So yeah, things can only get better from here on in.

[Lord Rahl]

Pretty awful

Aside from my daughters first birthday and a trip to SC.......seperated from my wife (getting divorced), which lead to me losing my house and not seeing my daughter as much. Aanndd with child support, I had to get a 2nd job. And I'm back on anti-depressants.

So good riddance 2013

[Zaq "That Guy" Buzzkill]

Got to travel to eastern Canada in the summer but everything else was a by the books university year.

[Wolf Hurricane]

It. Was. Shit.

Very looking forward to 2014.

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

It wasn't bad.
