Got the shit beaten out of me and had to have metal plates put in my face. That was good. Erm... worked out a lot about myself and who I am. It was a very good as Sinatra would say.

-Played some great games; SoTC, KH2, TP, CSS. (U)

-I think I'm starting to develop paranoia. (D)

-Both my brothers have now left home. (D)

-My Dad's 'near alcoholism' isn't as bad as it used to be. (U)

-I've grown 8 inches in 12 months. :hehe: (U)

-My passion for playing the Piano is dying while I'm starting to embrace the Saxophone. (U/D)

-I'm doing good at school but the sudden jump in the homework amount I now get is horrible. (U/D)

 

So yeah 2006 was a pretty balanced year, here's hoping 2007 will be awesome.

2006 was a decent year. It was gonna be a pretty poor year infact until December came along and 2 games saved it from being a dire year. Can you guess what it was???

 

OFCOURSE,

 

Castlevania : Portrait of Ruin and ofcourse

 

Metal Gear Solid™ Portable Ops

 

Konami win 2006.

 

Otherwise, i dont really spill my personal life on internet forums, so all you need to know is that ive been studying Japanese, and 2007 will be the last full year i stay in this country, ever.

Went to florida in march for a week, was very nice and spent st patricks day in disney world

Went to australia in august, spent my birthday there which was cool, then went to singapore for a few days afterwards :yay:

Went to my first concert, MUSE

Few low points:

The amount of work i've had to do has increased this year :blank:

And a few other things

 

But in all the year has been very good for me :awesome:

Jan-March was unemployed so World of Warcraft around 14 hours a day.

 

March started my current job.

 

July I think it was that my ladyfriend moved over from the US.

 

September or somewhere thereabouts went to Amsterdam for a weekend.

 

Get married tomorrow.

 

That's about it for this year.

Hmmm 2006 was weird, it was good but with a major bad thing.

 

- In March my mum was diagnosed with mouth cancer, which really sucked. I wasnt close to my mum at all really, and seeing her in hospital with a swollen face and stitches and bruising, and tubes in her...was...jesus..it was awful. Really really awful. The bad thing is its taken sooo long for her to heal and shes still having to feed through a tube into her stomach. Hopefully she will get better soon....She started playing my SP the other day for the first time (Couldnt move arms/hands too well) shes a Tetris fan you see. So thats good.

 

- In April I left Waitrose and went to my first full time job, at HBOS (Halifax Bank of Scotland) Hmmm. Weird stuff. Its good having money, but I cant understand where it all goes...Really!

 

- "Moved in" with my girlfriend. At her/parents house. Its cool though.

 

- DS/DS Lite had a freaking flurry of fantastic games. Ive got nearing 30 DS Games now...and thats cool.

 

- Rule 3. My favourite website HCRealms underwent some changes and pretty much got carper and stricter. It sucked, so me and a friend on there started our own site...Through that I started an internet cult ;

 

- Ill-Ramas. Some of the best dudes I know. Seriously. I feel that I can talk to all of them and its great to have a group of friends/clan like this (And be a co-leader)

 

- Wii. Waited for ages and didnt disapoint.

 

- Finally learning to drive. Ive got my test next year in Feb - Fingers crossed eh...Im not overly confident TBH.

It was a crappy year, still without a girl, lots of health problems and was always very depressed. Thankfully I have a great family and awesome friends.

BUT, I got a Wii and Twilight Princess, which is pretty huge :P
