For shame guys, it's been somewhat of a tradition since the turn of 2012 or something close to that, maybe even longer. Are we still reeling from 2016 that we want to just pretend it didn't exist? Oh fuck it. Fine.[i]I'll do it.[/i] Well folks, you should all know the drill by now. Find that message from last year, answer them and write a new one for 2018. [QUOTE=Highwind017;49456822] Future Windy I'm not going to spend too much time writing something for you next year like usual. Due to recent events that occurred near the end of 2015, your social life... in the way of doing shit has been effected somewhat not by your actions, but by the actions of someone else which has, in one way or another, threw a spanner in the works. Which doesn't help when that person was the one that arranged said nights out. So, hopefully by the time 2017 hits, you've had made some new friends somehow for one and... well, here's a more radical idea... taken that role of "person who gets shit arranged". All you needed to do is ask "you want to do something?" and there we go. If you can't do something so simple like that at the turn of 2017 then i don't know what the fuck is wrong with you. However, if you have actually taken that role away from John then... good going. Just please don't fuck up like he did and backstab a good friend like what he did. [i]Ah, yes. I knew i wrote about John here back when that was still fresh. I eventually confronted him because i wanted to know what the hell was in his mind, this didn't actually happen till Halloween of 2016 because the guy was all over the world, so i had a lot of questions to ask him but i wasn't banking on seeing him again until he just invited himself to something already organized by another friend that we know. When i did see him, i could see with my own eyes just how much of a cock he's became and the impression got even worse to the point where it was actually disgusting. The ammount of mental gymnastics and the like for him justifying what he did is something I'll never understand and i don't know why i thought i could get in his head. But we both know he's a coward with no principles and the cunt can burn in hell for all i care now. If he wasn't a coward, he would had punched me out right there in public instead of telling the guy in the middle that he would. Out of 2016, you have thrown one "friend" away and made about... 7? Those being the main group you hang about with online since you actually met those in person in Manchester. So things are looking up, all i need to do is not be like him and i'll be a happy person, and if i ever do. Someone kill me, because i refuse to become like that. As for being the "night arranger", i have done that a few time, sometimes it's worked flawlessly and sometimes things just don't pan out. We arent college students now, we're working adults and things are going to be all over the place. So when do you get something arranged, make sure the hassle was worth it.[/i] Hopefully by 2017 you have done more shit, earned more money and started on your projects. Please tell me then that you've done stuff. Please. [b]DON'T FUCK THIS UP.[/B] [i]Well. Good news, shit has been done like the Manchester trip and also finding another job. We'll see how working in a pub will feel in the future but for now, I'm locking myself down and earning money for once. Hopefully i'm not going to lose it at the start of the year like the toy store, and it pays fairly well actually. The projects though... yeah, I've been terrible with those, i'll admit. Sorry! Oh, i think all the shit that's happened this year could be blamed on our football team breaking our 114 year old Scottish Cup curse and opening Pandora's box, including two family deaths and everything else that happened in this year... But by god was it fucking worth it.[/I] Windy 2016 [i]Windy 2017[/i][/QUOTE] Future Windy Alright, so as I'm writing this, you should have just recently gone through with that ballsy plan of going off to Japan with Ryan for a short while, or just somewhere else if that fell through. And hopefully Nicky will look better looking than she is right now. Also, hopefully things around the world haven't gone completely to pot... I mean, Brexit is going to happen, Trump is going to happen. When you see this, it's already happened. There's a whole lot of uncertainty around the world but you've went through it all without caring too much about it, and if you still are for some reason. Then hell, don't worry about it. Now seriously, by 2018 you should have some following going. Make videos, animate stuff, draw more. I don't care what you do, just get out there and do something. But above all, WORK ON THE FUCKING PROJECT. We both know what we are talking about. I hope you've actually done it this time. Past 2017 and slightly hungover Windy
Dear future Deathtrooper2 If you are still banned from not making that 40k video... also get a job.
[QUOTE=DatHarry;49433387]alright buddy, 2015 was the best year of your life and now you've got a amazing girlfriend and the [URL="http://harry.tf/pics/2016-01-01_12-23_906992.png"]start of your wonderful new life in 9 days[/URL] one simple request - don't fuck it up.[/QUOTE] didn't fuck it up so far 2018 me, keep not fucking it up
future me, I hope this time next year you got into college
Dear future me Hopefully you stayed on schedule and only have half a semester to go at this point Also you better have 3D printed some cool shit and learned how to make Android apps Love, the person that gives you the hardest time, -you
[QUOTE=Fusnax;49436760]Hey older self How are you doing? Hope you graduated and have that nice diploma on your bedroom now, I really hope you went to the US and enjoyed your time there, maybe you got your Major Lazer shirts before going there? There's still the mystery of which shirts you got, maybe you continued going to the gym, remember you only lost 1 month but went 11 months, I hope you get better at everything, maybe you met a nice girl? And I hope you know by the time you read this post again that you can drive that moto now and you won't need to ask anyone else for jalon :)[/QUOTE] Congratulations, you graduated, went to US, got your Major Lazer shirts, what a year! Now when you read this hopefully you completed your first year of college, hope everything went smoothly, remember this is only the beginning of a new stage, meet new friends & girls. Just surprise me!
[QUOTE=Xonax;49558914]Yo Xonax, how is 2017? You're a big kid now, hopefully with your P license, gotten through the backlog of video games, had a ton of fun with our new Friends we made in 2016 and maybe you had fun with NEW friends. Did we lose weight? If not then that's okay, I know we'll probably lose a little bit, and that is better than none. How is Zelda U? Any good? Did the NX come out and if so did we buy it? Did my PC get fixed safely? Did we have to upgrade it again and if so, how great is it? Is it true that L4D3 got announced? Maybe Half Life 2 Ep3/HL3? Did Moffat leave Doctor Who? Did Peter Capaldi as well? And did we manage to start taking those pills to help us out? Is it working? I hope so. Love you lots. Hope you are coping fine with our Big Bro leaving home, and hopefully we fixed that damn Mouse problem, did we get new draws? Please tell me we did. Okay, bye for real. [editline]18th January 2016[/editline] OH DID WE FINISH THE GAME? If we did, how is it? Did we sell it or is it free?[/QUOTE] Y-yeah, totally have my P license...and gotten through my backlog of games.....yeah. I did make some new friends, and had fun, so that makes up for that. We lost a ton of weight, went from 106kg to 85kg, we did good in 2016. Breath of the Wild and the Switch aren't not out yet, but we did buy the NX/Switch, well pre-order. I don't remember my PC being broken, but w/e, it's in functioning order, we did get a new Watercooler and case so it's way better temp wise/ You were too hopeful, like usual, no L4D3 and HL3/Ep3 were not announced. Moffat is leaving at the end of 2017, not sure about Capaldi. No to the pills sadly, hopefully this month tho. My brother had to come back, but I did cope. And yeah the mouse problem is fixed, and still have the same old draws, sadly. ...Game? What game. Damnit I should have clarified. Anyway, new message for 2018 self. Did you get your Ps? How is your stomach fat, is it gone yet or at least thinner? You on the pills yet? Is the Switch and Breath of the Wild good? Did you screw up any friend ships yet? You better not have. Anyway keep up the good work, don't screw me over.
Better be in UDel you lazy cunt Better have dropped the smoking too That's it, don't fail me
Hi Future Riley, I'm gonna keep this short because I'm only a junior in high school and I'm unsure where I'm going, so hopefully you're still with MTH and say "Hi! <3" to her for me! We've been through a lot buddy, let's not stop here. It's been tough and painful, we've been knocked down to our knees, but MTH supports and loves us and we're gonna stay strong for her. How's that Computer Programming career going? I know we're bad at math, but i think we can overcome that. I've gotta go now, so I guess I'll see you around? Peace out my dude
Hey future me. Go suck a dick u fgt love past me
Yer gonna have Gold soon, just 6 more months, keep on posting dickhead.
Future me: You better have gotten back into school, and actually finished one of your fucking projects for once. Otherwise, I am going to have someone slap the shit out of us. Signed, your past self.
Hey there me. I'm a lot happier with myself now, so keep it up. Do what makes you happy! Don't revert back to your miserable high school self. Stick with college, no matter how much it sucks. Try to get into art, maybe? Lose some weight, too. I mean, you're not fat, but it could help. ...and stop spending all your money dammit! Love, past you.
Heyo. How's the computer I built you a month ago still holding up? Did you finally build it to spec? I had to cheapen out on some things after I quit my job. Did you get another job? Is it better than the last one? College when? GF when? Did you finally fucking finish RP_Darvishigh, The blender scripts for Halo:CE, and that Duke3D level? Did you get any further with your upcoming custom Halo CE campaign "Halo: Odyssey", or is it still a bunch of loose sketches and ideas, you procrastinating fuck? Are you as baked as I am?
Keep on being awesome. ~My main man.
Dear future me. Fucking move your ass, get slim, keep your girlfriend close to you and win that Saxxy. And also, improve your abilities.
To future me: Remember that at this moment I was jamming that Olgierd von Everec boss theme again and again. CDPR batted it out of the park with that one. I hope Cyberpunk 2077 is as good as I think it will be. The only request I really have is to keep your room tidy. Your desk at least, right now, mine is quite clean. I'd like it to say that way. Yes, I know everyone else's room is considerably more untidy than yours, but I'd hope by this point you no longer keep leaving shirts that vanish under your bed and then get fished out super dusty. Signed, past me
kill yourself my man
Dear future gustavholst, I hope you'll look back and not remember how shitty 2016 was. Also, I hope you've learned from this past new year's and never repeat that again.
[quote]Dear 2014 elfy, Still haven't got laid? Oh god what the fuck Got less than a C in any of your exams? Fucking failure you are. Haven't hung yourself, that's a start. I hope you have had your photos published somewhere or won a few comps. Oh btw, you're a dick. Lot's of love, Elfy from 2013[/quote] Missed out a few years, but i'll run a quick commentary on 2013 me's requests before I leave a message for 2018 me. "Still haven't got laid? Oh god what the fuck" &#128527; You're in there now, lad. "Got less than a C in any of your exams? Fucking failure you are." Did fail a class, but passed it on the retake shortly after. I also left school years ago, you petulant child. "Haven't hung yourself, that's a start." Still here "I hope you have had your photos published somewhere or won a few comps." I've already completed my dream of having my photos put in an art gallery, so I guess that ticks off that. "Oh btw, you're a dick." Can't argue with that. - 2018 me: How was your latest adventure? What did you do? Share some photos. With a partner yet? You're getting old, son. Make a difference to the world and, as always, "Do mad shit" Lots of love, Me
Dear future me. I am gonna brake your leg so you are gonna be mad also fix those errors
I hope my 2018 me didn't drop out of college because it's too hard, or because he's lazy and needs to do more.
DEAR SHITASS, BE GOOD TO YOURSELF! Don't give up. Hopefully this will get a giggle out of you in a year. xoxo ME~ [editline]2nd January 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=T.F.W.O.;49432798]Dear future me — Have you applied to art school? Have you found new love and support? Are you a better person now than at the beginning of 2016? What have you learned? Love yourself Love, yourself[/QUOTE] Kindanotreally Yes I think so A lot I hope &#9829;
Hi me in 2018, writing this makes me smile. I'm sure you've passed this last semester that I'm worrying about right now. You know which one. Keep exercising, work on your degree, but most importantly: support yourself. I believe in you, you damn champion
Don't fuck it up with her you retard
[QUOTE=Paranoia10;49432648]Hey, man High school's okay, my classmates are absolutely amazing, and most of the teachers are alright Made a whole lot of friends. I became more outgoing and social, and I'm really proud of myself for it. I haven't killed myself yet, no matter how much I wanted to every single day. I dunno, man, I keep pushing myself and getting pushed but I can't seem to go over the edge. Anyways, hey, 2017-me, I hope you have an even better life, I wish you the best and I wish you find happiness, man up and talk to the people you love. I love you, man, so take care.[/QUOTE] Hello again, old me. You might find this a surprise, but I actually got a girlfriend in 2016. It was absolutely fucking amazing, the best days of my life. Then she broke up with me after a month. Then I started drinking, smoking, cutting, pretty much destroying myself. Still, besides that, 2016 was okay. Not too bad, not really all that good. So, 2018-me, I hope you get some bigger balls, and I seriously hope to meet you. It would break my heart if we didn't get a chance to talk. Love, Vlad.
Hi me in 2018! I just hope you're able to keep your current job and of course improve upon it further. Just keep pursuing your passion and have fun with your hobbies and never give up. Hopefully you'll be able to meet that wonderful person you had been in a LDR with for a while now, and both of you stay happy together. Make your family proud and keep looking on after your younger siblings, hopefully you'll be able to guide your brother to graduate college and sister to stay safe, creative and fun-loving throughout the years to come. Help mom and dad out, alleviate some of the stress they have been lifting to keep the family afloat, especially with grandma and uncle's side of the family, and as always, stay positive! Also, hope you save up enough monies to get that trip to another country family has always been wanting, and maybe a bit to spare for a shiny and new GPU, and maybe a VR set. Here's to a hopefully bright 2017 and a great 2018 for you and everyone! Hugs and kisses, -Me (2017)
[QUOTE=Plaster;49430851]You're a fuckup but it's because you never know what you're good at, and there's no one to blame but you. Anyway work on music and make at least 2 good videos per month, draw way more and don't fuck this year up in school. If you do fuck up then it's over. [editline]1st January 2016[/editline] also get out more, eat quality pizza for once[/QUOTE] haha I screwed up all of those things. don't fail school and make music, can't get any easier.
This time last year was kinda rough, and now look where you are (or actually have been), when you read this: amazing girlfriend, a super nice flat close to university with said girlfriend, you fixed up your social life and all that stuff that bogged you down and this could be the most amazing year of your life ever. So what has it been? Did you continue this upward trend or was it the opposite? What experiences did you have, how many friends and enemies did you make, did you manage to fully, or at least mostly, overcome procrastination? Best of wishes for the future, your past self <3
Better be staying true bro, if not I'm gonna kick your pussy ass.
