    Just kidding, everyone. 2008 is gonna end [we'll miss you 2008]. Only 3 more days [4 more days in America] and it will be new year, 2009.

    So what is your good memories in this year? For example, the releasing of Pokemon Platinum, it was such a good game except the language is in Japanese.

    Well my good memories in this year is when my friend gave me a parrot and I named it Latias, when I registered PC, the cosplay party at my school and the alumni party in my high school.
     
    Well what sticks out for me on this year is:

    Winning the finals in a singing contest in my school (So in Marsh I'll be competing against every school on Iceland)
    My one year anniversary with my boyfriend, first time I have been in a relationship that long.
    My Cousins baby.
    My best friends pregnancy, my aunts pregnancy, and the other 5 pregnancy's (God keep it in your pants why wont you),
    My little cousin getting in a car accident breaking his leg (Still broken).


    There are so many things that I'm not gonna count them all up now:D.
     
    Oh you were kidding? You scared me for a moment..

    It would have to be me coming back to PC in September, because of that I've got back into graphics & photography and also made new friends. ^^
     
    I will remember the visit to my home country, also I'm happy for all the friends I made at school.
     
    There have been many good memories in 2008. I'll miss it. Especially when Bush got that shoe thrown at him. Oh, and we'll never forget when Obama called Florida "Ohio"! XD
     
    One is graduating from 1st year to 2nd year nursing. Another is that I received an ultra rare cactus from my auntie! And when I received my very first DS lite and played Pearl.
     
    Bad Memories:

    I know I lost my Grandma over 10 years ago now, but I don't remember ever having such a close bond with her. This year...January 31st, I lost my Nanna. It crushed me inside, so I hope this 2009 brings no death in the family, or death of friends.

    Highlights?
    - Mother enjoying herself in London two times
    - All of us going away to London last weekend
    - Losing weight (Nearly two stone, but I really need to pick myself up again come new year. At least I have my Wii Fit to keep me on a steady path when I do not go out.)

    I guess that's the more important positives of this year I guess.
     
    Best memories:


    • All the parties through out summer
    • Gaming conventions (especially DreamHack)

    Bad memories:


    • My cat breaking his leg
    • My niece running away from home and being put in juvie
    • YZMA DYING DX (Eartha Kitt)
     
    Been a great year! I've achieved a lot and lots has changed, and I'm going to brag.

    The good:
    - Sister's wedding
    - Turning 18, buying my first legal drink!
    - All A grades in my A levels, getting into Exeter university to do drama
    - 120 out of 120 in the practical theatre studies exam
    - Landing the male lead in my first ever musical
    - First gig with our prog rock band!
    - Mum's half-century birthday party and making a surprise appearance (I wasn't expected back from uni ;))
    - Raising over £2500 for the Teenage Cancer Trust with a live comedy sketch show co-written and performed at school. RIP Alex
    - Millennium Magic at Cardiff, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats beating bitter rivals Castleford by 50 points! Amazing day out. (Rugby league)
    - Portugal

    The bad:
    - ...
     
    Good:

    Getting a Xbox 360
    Getting a Camera
    Getting an Ipod
    That's about it.

    Bad:
    Dog died.
    Parents fighting
    Best friend moving
    Sister moved away.
    Broken Wii
    Forst Fire near my house, all the trees are gone.
    and a helluva lot more

    Nothing really bad happened for me this year, it was pretty uneventful. As for the good, wait until Monday, I'll have my driver's permit! :D

    That might be pretty bad for anyone who crosses your path on the road.

    I say good riddance 2008!

    Anyway, as far as good and bad experiences:

    Good:
    - Graduated from high school.
    - Got myself a better car (though still not great.. and it came with a car payment.. which is bad.. but oh well)
    - Got my iPod.
    - Got a desk of my own (which I've wanted for a very long time.)
    - My Nintendo DS. ^.^
    - I've gotten a little closer to my sister. :]

    Bad:
    - Did very poorly in school, and became inelligable for the last band concert (but smuggled my way into the choir concert since I was technically 'signed out' of school, and no longer a 'student' haha!).
    - Was in a controlling and "emotionally abusive" relationship for about 9 months.
    - Dropped my first semester in college due to said relationship (but have since reapplied).
    - Also lost my (first ever) job of two years, due to said relationship (he was fired too).
    - My grandpa died.
    - My best friend's grandma died.
    - My first dog had to be put down (cancer).
    - Moved out of my parent's house with a few friends, had some bad experiences in the apartment, moved back home, have lost 2/3 of those friends.

    There's probably more.. but 2008 hasn't been a good year for me. The only good things that have happened are mostly materialistic things..
    Otherwise as for experiences I had this year, a lot of them were negative. : /
     
    Good Memories of 2008:
    -The times I've spend with Brandon, my boyfriend.
    -Tenchi's first birthday (my hermit crab :p I've had him for a year)
    -Good times with Emily and Lauren (my best friends)
    -Adopted two of my parakeets; Zephyr and Stardust.
    -Varsity Football Cheering (for the third time)
    -Beginning of my senior year!

    What I'm looking forward to for 2009:
    -More amazing time with Brandon.
    -More awesometacular time with Em, and La.
    -More acceptance letters! Keep them coming! :D (this is acceptance letters to college)
    -Graduation.. it's bittersweet.
    -Moving out!
    -Roadtrip this summer!

    <3

    Not the end of the world, but the great awakening that's coming in 2012-2013!
    I'm not doing anything quite special at all. I plan on relaxing with friends and doing my usual.
     
    Good Memories;

    - Saw my favourite band live (I'm seriously never going to forget that night)
    - The release of the album 'Deadache" (also by my favourite band x3)
    - Getting a new Walkman because the last one got murdered in a pool
    - The person I hate the most broke her arm (>D)
    - Meeting some awesome new people <:

    Bad;

    - Sprained my wrist
    - Got locked into a room with a Rottweiler for about 4 hours (I couldn't sleep for 3 days bacause of that event)
    - My aunt died on Christmas eve


    I can't think of more atm.
     
    Some of this is very cheesy.

    But my best memory of the year 2008 would have to be meeting my pair. We became friends within his first post here at PC, and we've grown closer ever since. He's become my best friend, and some of you know how far it's gotten. I don't think I could ever find a better friend than him, even though he's a few states away.

    Other things would include registering here, being modded on two different forums, and making other great friends(Asty, Jax, Rekhyt, I'm talking to you).

    So yeah. My cheesy year of 2008.
     
    Unfortunately, 2008 has been one of the worst years I had to go through. I hope the next year will make me happy!
