2011 - a Year in Review

[ñͤͣ̄ͦ̌̑͗͊͛͂͗ ̸̨̨̣̺̼̣̜͙͈͕̮̊̈́̈͂͛̽͊ͭ̓͆ͅé ̰̓̓́ͯ́́͞]

· The year started somewhere in a fog of frustrations with my art, relationship, school and unemployment.
· Supported a childhood friend through his recovery from heroin addiction. Smoked weed every day for months.
· Met a girl who I loved on every level and clicked with so well, but I quietly bowed out of every conversation early with her, because I don't cheat. Killed me a little bit.
· Sold my car, moved, started making meaningful art again and feeling alive, dumped by NetGF, moved back to Portland.
· Made a bunch of new friends. Made a bunch of art that is liked by people who's art I admire.
· Started enjoying my reliance on my bike to get anywhere I need to be, rain or shine.
· Got involved with Occupy Wall Street, protested, planned, filmed the riot cops, talked down some violent radicals, and convinced some complacent people to look directly into the corruption on their own accord.
· Inexplicably enjoyed an abrupt upswing in popularity with very attractive, interesting girls punctuated by much laughing and sultry looks.
· Successfully implemented several O:MF campaigns. In one glorious mission I conspired with a girl I was dating.
· Currently planning an art show and serious shenanigans with my horrible compatriots.
· A lot of my life is miserable horseshit, but in spite of it I'm walking taller than I have in 5 years and finally feel like a human being again.

My 2011 was a big party with a nasty crash.


· At 00:00 2010/2011 as everyone at my age should be on the New Year, I was so hammered, I couldn't move
· Ended the 2010 semester with 5,45 out of 6, so I flunked my chance at a scholarship from school for the next semster
· Don't care, my physics scholarship is four times bigger
· The 23rd of Febuary - The first time I took LSD
· Got recruited for a EU project, where we went to France and discussed the future of education along with two buddies from school. Got high everyday, took LSD, good times were had - probably one of the best weeks of 2011. All the importand people at the project loved us and invited us to come again next year.
· Got back from France, started studying hard, hard, hard and got a 5,85 out of 6, getting me a scholarship from school and I also scored another much higher scholarship for Philosophy
· End of the school year, got some of the best grades in my class. Feelsgoodman.jpg
· Went to Poland for the "Heineken Open'er" music festival, where I had an amazing lesson in why it's not a good idea to put up your tent while drunk of your ass and high as a kite, while it's raining. Ended up with a flooded tent.
· Saw my favourite bands live, met cool people, good times.
· Go back to Varna, start smoking weed every day. Spent a good deal of my Physics scholarship on weed.
· Go to the park, get high, have fun, go home.
· Ate shrooms on a couple of occasions
· Had amazing parties at my house on the beach. Couldn't wish for a better summer
· Go to camp, meet cute French girl, develop crush, start seeing her back in Varna.
· A "friend" of mine lies to me that she's told him to tell me that she isn't into me and to back off, just so that he can try and seduce her. I now loathe that backstabbing piece of shit of a "friend", but at least now everyone has exposed him for the pathetic fuck he is.
· My parents learn about my marijuana habbit, mother gets extremely mad ( turns out that heroin and marijuana is all the same to her - DRUGS!!!).
· Mother suggests Rehab Labor Camp. Fuck no.
· Continue smoking secretly about once a week
· Get caught, almost got sent to Rehab Labor Camp (Does that shit even exist in the normal parts of the world???) for real this time. Eventually managed to convince her not to send me.
· Fuck this shit, I'm not smoking anymore until I move out
· Family falls apart for good this time. My dad is moving out in spring. Untill then it's a constant shitstorm at home
· Both parents nervous and miserable, can't stand being around them, feel shitty.
· Mother goes hysteric about everything. My parents are the most emotionally unstable people I know. Everyday at home they're yelling and/or crying.
· Shit sucks

Overall 2011 started as the best year I've had, but ended pretty badly. I have become quite emotionally numb recently and feel lonely as fuck. Eventually decided to cut my drug use, except for the occasional tab of LSD (it's so rare here (about once in a year or two), that a chance to take it is not to be missed). Got used to shit happening around me, so I just try to keep my grades high and ignore everything. I hope 2012 will bring better times.

2011

- started the year with a brand new Wacom and learned to art then stopped a couple of months later when my creative juices ran dry

- got a lot of good kayak time including rescuing noobs for real in sea state six which is the most hardcore I've had to keep people alive in so far

- got a nice couple of grand windfall which I spent on winter immersion gear which means I can safely kayak all year round now (for a given definition of safely). No off season means I won't be weak little pussy again when the season starts back up around february/march next year

- bought gopro camera which means next year I can video all the stupid shit I do and post on youtube. This makes my inner attention whore feel all warm and fuzzy

- Skyrim on PS3. Last month or so has been 100% Dragonborn

- Scotland got it's first evar honest to god hurricane. Was cool as fuck - a windmill blew up and everything! Apparently it's traditional to name them. We called ours "Hurricane Bawbag" translation - Scrotal sac

all in all it's been a fine year. Oh, yeah, and I might have gotten shitfaced drunk a couple of times and accidentally all over everything

I relent. My year in brief: Breakup, death, another death, faltering business, tax fiasco, son pulls out all his hair because of trichotillomania, more tax fiasco, last-minute recovery, ray of hope.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Aside from the death thing I never had any of those but it sure sounds like suck. For what it's worth I hope next year doesn't suck so hard for you. Sincerely.

Thank you! I really appreciate that.
