2006: Was it good for you?

Post Reply New Topic

As the year 2006 winds down, let us reflect on what happened to each of us during the past 12 months:

• Got into accident with old car
• Got new car (for karma, perhaps)
• NY Yanks tank in postseason
• NY Giants say farewell to Tiki, while all but reenacting Mutiny on the Bounty
• Watches various World Cup matches, thus raising his interest in international soccer

Yeah. 2006. F*ck yeah.

November 2005 THROUGH CHRISTMAS THROUGH NEW YEAR - March 2006: psych ward (well, actually 3 different ones...)
March 2006: parents anounce split up (yet they're still living together to this day and still arguing all the time!)
April 2006: Nearly got expelled from school for publishing several rants about how I wanted to torture my psychiatrist and her children on a website that the girls at school were viewing (oops - should not let my anger run away like that again!).
January 2006 - today: entered anorexia, went from 48kg to 39kg, now at 44kg. I have not been officially anorexic for a couple of months now, because I have been trying to gain weight for that time, although I have developed an Asperger's-like obsession for nutritional information labels, and now know foods by numbers instead of the foods themselves.

GOOD THINGS (phew!)
Sometime 2006: Got into the Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad.
April 2006: Got moved to the Outreach Team (mental health), as opposed to going to the hospital for appointements.
August 2006: received GCSE results: all A* except English = A.
October 2006: turned 17!
Today: I haven't been back in hospital since I left (which is good considering that I was in March 2005 as well)!

So its half bad, half good! I say the glass is half full!

This year was so good that, by July, I had run out of butts to kick.

Bad Things-
.Summer School
.Multiple suicide attempts
.Three stays at a Psych Ward
.When I cut all my hair off

Good Things-
.Found WP
.Met new friends
.Grew taller

The first half was terrible, but the second was a considerable improvement.

Started college, more friends, and denounced religion. Amongst other things.

This is what 2006 was like for me

An old obsession came back and grew stronger
Got back into my Art
Moved into my own Flat
Started going to my Clubhouse more often
Learned to cook a wider variety of recipies
Struggled with my weight a little
Thought with my tender heart, instead of my brain around the 9th of each month.
My sister got married in September
Admitted to myself that I'm one of the more profound Aspies on WrongPlanet But I'm still an Aspie.
Struggled through the month of December
Sailing smoothly through the end of December

No, but what year is?

Good things:
-Finished multiple drafts of "Reality's Crusade," my novel!
-Started "Veresae."
-Found WP.
-Went on a friendly outing for the first time since 5th grade.
-Went to college.
-Discovered MUSIC that I liked!!

Bad things:
-Sensory defensiveness got worse.
-Sensory defensiveness got worser.
-Got obsessed with the idea of a dream girl.
-Got obsessed with becoming more compassionate, and failed miserably.
-Serious, serious stages of depression and hopelessness.
-Had worst meltdown since 7th grade.
-Contemplated suicide for the first time since 4th grade.
-A lot of things I feel guilty about.
-STILL didn't get over limerent object, though I thought I did for...like a month.

bleh, mixed bag. Could have been better, but could always have been worse.

Good:
-First "real" girlfriend (no, didn't have imaginary ones before this.... but that's not a bad idea!)
-lost v-card (Only good because people will stop giving me s**t about it. Sex isn't that bad either, though I'm still pretty indifferent about it. That still confuses my male friends.)
-got strange sense that some people I know respect me, others maybe even look up to me.
-Enjoyable class on transpersonal psychology (The prof was amazing. Simply amazing.)
-Started getting into better shape
-Got a tattoo finally, and I really like it
-Jared Leto makes good music and good music videos

Bad:
-Girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend) was a b***h, and broke up with me by going home with some random guy at a party, then telling me off because she assumed it was over long before that. (Good to know, would have appreciated being told it was over...)
-Got really wasted one night, blacked out, and then had a nervous breakdown... in front of several friends
-Same as above, but no black-out, and the people that saw were far less in number, and I didn't mind as much because of who they were
-Shattered a trash can with a bokken during above (Bad, but it felt really good at the time)
-Apparently really pissed off / disturbed / something else? person I'm (or was, idunno) interested in (during blackout situation), so now current situation is awkward at best (lives pretty damn close, being around her is inevitable)
-Had to listen to a friend apologize for sleeping with person from previous. (Long story, we'll leave it at that)
-Migraines came back
-Spent a week, nearly two, drunk as hell due to depression. Something like 16 of 18 days I was drunk, often before 2pm. Didn't really wake up early either.
(That's enough bad, list goes on, but I'm tired of rattling them off.)

Really bad:
-Friend got in a car wreck, still in a coma. No word on whether that's ever going to improve.

Got my very first boyfriend and broke up with him 3 months later
Got a dignital cam
went on a trip all by myself to Spokane
Went to Disney on Ice
Someone crashed into my car and left a dent in it and turned off my air bag sensor
met another guy
wasn't big on christmas this year
Had sex, did foreplay
felt suicidal at times because I hated being single and stuck in Montana

2006 was a go year for me.

- I got to go to New York City and see the United Nations in person.

- Made some new friends at school this fall

Good things:
My husband and I were diagnosed with Chronic Borreliosis and learned that we're likely to get much better with treatment.
We found out about Asperger's Syndrome in early 2006, both my husband and I now realise we're aspies and alot of things make much more sense now.

2006 was good because:

I had no major depressions this year
Discovered the delights of several new interests
Joined WP and a Starr was born
I finally plucked up the courage to enrol for an art class, starts next week
I met a woman who I get along very well with and we have become close friends

2006 was bad because:


One of my cats died and I still miss her
I worried a lot about the environment, global warming, and am still worried
I didn't do half the things I wanted to this year. Maybe next year.

~Discovered the wonders of Winamp.
~Fell in love with Vergil from Devil May Cry 3.
~Got a DS Lite and the best Metroid game ever.
~Found out that being a loner isn't so bad.

I hope 2007 will be just as good as 2006 was!
