I thought it'd be interesting to see what everyones highlights were from last year. Not really any criteria other than it directly involved you and was a major/exciting event in your year.

-Peed on my boss and didn't get fired

-Got my first high def TV

-Got my first new car since high school - Acura TL

-And lastly, I achieved all my goals I set out to accomplish in physical therapy.

I finally got help and started pulling out of 4 years of severe insecurity and depression. Now I'm only mildly depressed on bad days, and in a couple of months, my psychologist agrees that if my progress continues as it has, I should be back to normal. I honestly laughed for the first time in over a year a couple of weeks ago. Felt absolutely awesome. :cool:

I had a few good times (generally when I was on an adrenaline high), but they all pale in comparison to the above.

Dude, with 36k+ posts, it seems you need to get out more. There's gotta be something.

Majority of which were made in my first two years here, and while at work.

Then how dammed drunk were you when you pissed on your boss? (yes, I remember the thread)

For me, it was going back to school full-time for the first time since I dropped out of high school in 1970...the icing on the cake has been pulling straight "A's" in ALL my classes...I LOVE beating the pants of the kids in my classes...:D They look at me like, "Who's this old fart, and what is he doing in school'? Heh-heh...then I manage to come in at least in the top 5 of the class, if not # 1...

Otherwise, still kicking is a good thing...remember, waking up in the morning, no matter how bad you hurt is still better than NOT waking up at all!
