Pretty sure I never told anyone in this thread, not even around when this happened, but my only true childhood friend, a Leonberger dog, was put to sleep a few months ago and it's always felt lonely at home.
My dad did take it the hardest. We couldn't leave the Vet for a little while because he couldn't let it go and I hated to see my dad so broken down.
This christmas though, I have never seen him so happy.
My mom got my dad a big canvas poster of our old dog:

Ever since we got it hanging in the living room, all feels right again.
I just wanted to get something off my chest.
I honestly dont think I've ever had a bad [I]year[/I]
Some years are better than others but they're all pretty good lol
[editline]31st December 2012[/editline]
Now, If I can just sort out how to make a living without ever working a 9-5 job I'll die a happy man.
This year was probably my worst year ever. I feel like being stuck in the IDF put me on standby for the next 3 years, not to mention that I'm in a risky place so I can't really have a healthy relationship or even risk coming out in the near future so that I won't be stuck on base for the next 2 years with people who will probably beat the shit out of me for being gay.
It's kind of depressing, but I guess I'll have to manage. Maybe this year they'll allow me to see a psychologist regularly for advice or something.
This year has been far better than the previous, so I'd say that's a plus. Not to mention I finally have a loving boyfriend.

try working a 6-6 job
spoiler:
its terrible
Longest shift I've done was 7 hours with a 30 minute paid break, on 34 bucks an hour.
[editline]31st December 2012[/editline]
What do you even do that's 6-6
Only hours I've heard of that like is seasonal harvesting stuff.
[editline]31st December 2012[/editline]
and he was on like 40 something an hour
The year has been pretty terrible, I guess. To be expected, 2011 won't/doesn't need to happen again and there ain't nothing to look forward to in the next couple of years.
pfft, I envy you guys with actual jobs.
I get 100$ per month.

I used to do construction work and 6-6 was average.
We would work later/ quit earlier depending on what the job required, sometimes they got to be til midnight. But if you want to talk about ridiculous there are some crews in north dakota that have 24 hour shifts.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;39038781]Every year feels the same, except this year I received one of those future emails from myself in 2007 telling me to have a merry Christmas.[/QUOTE]
All I got was an Email from next week telling me not to drink the water.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;39030867]christ on a unicycle how long has it been?[/QUOTE]
year or so
[QUOTE=Teto;39025578]Why did you call yourself latin_geek anyway?
Same question is extended to everyone except Dog, because dogs are great, and there's no questioning that naming decision.[/QUOTE]
I call myself KarloMcMarlo (along with a plethora of other aliases) because I was wondering what I should call myself on the forums, I came up with Karlo, but it was taken. I asked one of my friends, and they said KarloMcMarlo.
So yeah :v:
Oh, christians, you crack me up.
Apparently horse riding therapy is supposed to "cure" you from homosexuality.
this year was pretty crappy because my depression got really bad but then I went to the therapist and I got medication and things seem to be getting better. I'm a bit more sociable now and I'm in a relationship with sobotnik so that's lovely c:

What if you're a bottom? :v:
beginning of this year was ok. anything past may sucked. i just want to get school out of the way so i can actually live as a girl that would be great
Got a new years gift from a girl.
She keeps looking away when I happen to look at her and... yeah.
Being sleep deprived 'cause of holidays aint helping with this.
Really want someone to give me a whizee (Thats what I always knew them as, it didnt come up on google so I dunno if its the same, you just grab someones arms and spin around so they fly through the air)
I used to do it a lot as a kid, and get it. But I'm not sure any of my friends would be capable of holding all 100kg of me in a circle lol
so someone set off some fireworks too early for new years. Was only one or two.
Anyways 40 minutes at the time of writing until 2013

[QUOTE=Diealready;39038517]I feel like I'm on this path now, for many years in the past I've been really shy and nervous about everything, was too scared to get a license but I'm becoming more confident in driving and I've been finding it easier to talk to people, I've just been progressively feeling better about myself this year.
I wish the best of luck to everyone that's had a shit year though[/QUOTE]
I guess personally I kind of relate to you guys in this manner, because I used to be the same way. I think something about being a semi-geeky gay guy makes it hard to build self confidence socially with others until later, unless you grow up in a very accepting environment or around very accepting/gay friends. I know I personally didn't really get to know another gay guy in person at all until I was 18/19 or so :v:
I used to be really shy and not confident in myself around other people socially but now I simply recognize that I'm just introverted and I love being around people in controlled doses. Most people don't even think I'm introverted at all with how I act haha :v: though when meeting with someone for the first time I can be pretty reserved about it, but I no longer feel really uncomfortable or awkward about such things now that I have more experience.
I miss being younger and being able to get much easily lost in my own little world. I cherish dreams and the "introvert experience" at the heart- stuff like talking a walk through snowy woods in absolute scilence is something that sounds like a magical experience to me haha. But being older now, wiser, and more confident in myself has added some much needed "extroversion" to my life. Which feels great, and I love being around good people and having a good time, but at the same time I feel a little less disconnected from that introverted side of me that I used to cherish. I.E. I've not taken a nice walk in snowy woods in a long time now :v: I'm getting more done in my life than ever and I'm excited to jump headstrong into my future which is a good feeling, but I know the next stage in my life will likely be a return to form where I get to know myself again. I'll probably end up being a 50 year old hippy who lives in the woods when I'm older lol
Wow, that was a ramble :v:
Point is, just don't be afraid of experiences, even if they take you out of your element for a bit. You'll eventually get used to being more and more out of your element, which makes you more open to not closing out everything and everyone and builds your self confidence. Optionally you could do what I did, and get broken up with your first local boyfriend :P What a shitty time and a shitty guy that was, but by god did I need something like that to give me a reality check. I'm very fortunate I went through that experience in hindsight because I probably wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't.

This is going to happen soon with my ol' dog :( My dad won't take it well either. They are practically married haha
She's 12-14ish (lost track :p) and clearly getting very old, I remember her as a puppy from when I was a kid living in georgia in the late 90's. When I lived with my dad she would always rotate sleeping on all our beds, starting with dad, then moving to my sister in the middle of the night, then I'd always wake up for school in the morning with her on the foot of my bed. Now she walks slowly everywhere, just kinda lays down a lot, doesn't jump up onto, chase, or bark at anything anymore, and enjoys simply being one with nature in the back yard laying in the grass. I know she's only got a year or two left, it'll be really hard on my dad. I'm just glad she's had a good life and is currently having a nice relaxing "doggy retirement", so it'll be sad when she goes but at least I know it won't be pre-mature and I know she won't go suffering. Circle of life and all that jazz.

i remember when my school used to have a python
we called her "houdiniette" because she always used to escape
one time the monday morning biology class found her coiled around a ceiling fan, they had to coax her down with a frozen mouse on a stick
