2006...

Post Reply New Topic

s**t. 2006 was a bad year... there was some good; I got tonnes of great stuff, my new PC, my Xbox 360, stacks of games, my MP3 player... not to mention I got better grades at school than the year before... But those things don't mean anything. It was mainly a really bad year; I was pretty much alienated from everyone at school, I'm growing further and further apart from my family, the girl I like thinks I'm a total creep, I feel my social skills and reclusivness have gotten worse, there's been countless humiliations and I still have hardly any friends... the list just goes on and on.

There's also some things that would make most people happy, but make me miserable... for one, my nephew was born in June. I should be happy for my brother and his girlfriend, but they're 19 and 20, and having a baby so young was an accident and a stupid mistake that could have been prevented so easily. My brother isn't my brother any more, he grew up without me. I will never have kids of my own, no matter what. When you have kids, it takes away your career, your money, your time and worst of all, your youth. Seeing the kid brings me back to my childhood... My mom says I was a "happy kid". But all my memory's of childhood make me sad and depressed, I don't know why. And it's probably what made 2006 such a bad year for me.

I have so many regrets from 2006, and I have nothing to look forward to in 2007. There's so many mistakes I made that I want to clean up. I wish when I wake up tomorrow that it's 2006 again. I would do everything sooo differently if I got a second shot. It's the most horrible feeling in the world. Anyway, thanks for reading and I'm glad I got that off my chest... Anyone else have a bad '06? Any other year they wanna forget? Or is it just me?

I started meditating and "awakened" myself and to what, I scary, lying world where people live in an illusion. This, this made me angry, and even worse is that not many people see it.

I got an XBox360. 2006 was pretty good for me. 2005 was not. I don't live in those years, anyways, its still 2006 today and tomorrow it'll be 2007 OR just another day with a label

2006 was a bumpy year for me, as well. I just have to suck it up, and prepare for 2007. I feel that 2007 will be a much happier year for me, than 2006 was.

15 minutes left of 2006.

I had a medicin poisoning all year, stomachcramps, musclecramps, heart pumping fast and hard, depressed and scared; it's wearing off now. My uncle died, my aunt had a stroke and is now senile in a wheelchair. Other than that not so bad. I found a nice pizza place near by that delivers.

Next year is going to be cool; I hope. I am gonna get a PS3, GTA4, lots of other games, starting a savings account.

Happy New Year.

Ten minutes left.

2006. Right in the middle of the year my family and I left Rhode Island and packed up and moved to North Carolina. I didn't have any friends in Rhode Island (friends my age, at least - I had a few older friends), and the idealist in me led me to believe that I would have a better life in North Carolina.

And alas, I've been here in Charlotte for a little over four months, and socially I'm marginally better, but only marginally. I still feel as distant as ever from the hyper-social teenage world.

God, I've even made active attempts to socialize in the past couple months... which is WAY out of character for me...

There is a point where material goods mean nothing. I got around three hundred dollars from various family members for Christmas, but I agree with iddqd in that these material successes mean less than we think they do; I may have these things, but I am socially lacking.

It's a similar situation to North Carolinians who yearn for winter and occasionally act as if there were a harsh New England winter coming; "I wish I were in bed with a cup of hot chocolate," I overheard one girl say a couple weeks ago at school. For the record, it has been a very warm late-December - the first week we had freezing temperatures and biting winds, but the weather has since milded to the 50s and 60s. Because it's so warm around here, I hypothesize people yearn for what they don't have.

In their case it's snow.

In my case it's human interaction.

I try to say to myself, "But people are idiots nonetheless, especially at high school age." And observing their behavior, I agree with that statement. But the idealist in me tends to think that there have to be people in a school of 3,000 that might lead to social relations... but who knows?
