    Working in a hospital, having an exhibition in a main gallery in town and getting kudos in the curators speech.

    I peaked too soon.

    1st few months were awesome.

    Then down a bit again and now we're on a steady plateau

    Worst moment was trading in my house to rent a tiny bedroom from a crazy old lady whose house smelled like cat piss and constantly played tribal African music while preparing dinner.

    Enda Kenny`s death. Oh wait...no....that was just a really good dream I had.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    Probably the 2nd hardest year of my life so far. Fell on my ass early on and am clawing my way back ever since. Nearly there though so it's not all that bad.

    Whatever doesn't kill ya and all that!

    Of all the people you could wish to die, of all the cunts in the world - the rapists, the paedophiles, the murderers, the dictators, the warmongerers, the people who put machine guns in childrens hands, the fuckers who plant landmines... you dream of Enda Kenny dying?

    Talk about First World problems.

    You could at least have said Joe Duffy.

    Yeah,you`re right. I was reading something in the paper about him and I was just pissed off. Definitely should have said Joe.

    Oh wow, the year's almost over, it's been a long one.

    Dragging myself out of depression a few months back, turning my life on it's head as a result, still high on life since.

    Newsworthy highlights - New York legalising gay marriage, the arab spring, was there anything else that can be construed as positive?

    Handing in my notice and deciding to go travelling for a year or two. I know I would regret it if I never took the chance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    Walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain on my own (well, the last section of it). Best thing I've ever done and will do it again. Only highlight really, pretty uneventful year apart from that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,660 ✭✭✭G86


    The end of it.

    well, if we're talking from this time last year, quitting my job to go on the dole (quit just before christmas)
    if its just 2011, didnt really do much, at all...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,107 ✭✭✭amacca


    I ninja punched an old boss of mine from years back in the face in a crowded pub while trying to get a drink..

    He never knew what hit him...and more importantly who.

    he was a horrible bully pr1ck who made co-workers cry while he drove away smiling in his top of the range beemer.


    aah good times....I swore I'd get him and I stayed true to my word.

    Amsterdam was a really fun experience, pretty surreal.
    Have had enough nights out to last me until 2020, but I'll go for more.
