But staying with the positive - I think my best moment this year was finally going over to the other side of the classroom and running the show all on my own (I ran a series of workshops for freshman classes, which is my first direct teaching experience - and I have to admit, I'm only all the more convinced that teaching's what I want to do in life :yep:)

Not been a great year for me either, breaking my wrist in February, in a funk academically and job wise, health problems in the family. Not to mention my uncle (Mom's older brother) passed away last Saturday, although that was kind of a blessing as he was 82 but had been in very poor health and a vegetative state for a few years.

Still have good memories this year thanks to the family, to a couple of friends who are my second family here, and a larger circle of friends from Uni and work. Went to the mountains in July, biking with the new bicycle as well, had some fun parties and outings. A great gaming weekend playing refereed wargames of the Battles of Narvik and the Bulge. Here, I beta-tested GWX 2.0 and had a great time doing it...very honoured to be associated with a great bunch of people.

I was misdiagnosed for a potentially lethal disease in spring. The day it cleared up was the one nice day of 2007 for me.

the other good day was when I had decided to change my testament in favour of the two little girls of a close girlfriend of mine who returned with her husband to a city close by after years of moving around, and the mother and the kids hugging me, with the mother having wet eyes, and afterwards telling me she wants me to help educating and teaching the two sweeties. That made me feel like being accepted part of that family. Living alone myself and no longer imagining to ever have a family myself, that gave me a warm and intense feeling as well.

2 scores out of 365 - well... :lol:

Maybe I'll have to say that my defining moment of this year was when I actually sunk 7 allied ships including one large battleship (I killed the battleship with ONE torpedo somehow. Lucky shot out of my aft tube as I was running for my life. I have no idea where I hit it.. had to have been on the bow somewhere.. but she went down quick) in SH III. Oh yeah.. finally getting GWX 2.0. Nice Xmas present there !:up:
I guess I lead a sad no-life.

I'm sorry, but you do live a no-life:nope: :lol: ;)

My third granddaughter. :smug:

Good for you, Fish.:up:

Second best I think was getting to see my old friend Jafur at the reunion. I hadn't seen him in nearly 10 years. Good to get together and talk.

Friends are nice to have, aren't they?

Indeed. It's terrible to lose them though. I've lost several this year. They didn't die or anything, they just don't want to have anything to do with me anymore....

Getting my Brevet and getting engaged.

Not a bad year really!

Don't marry her would be the answer. Sounds more like you had a case of lust, not love.

One of the best memories of the year for me!:yep: Beating SH4 by a large margin!:up:

Cant show mine yet, havent got a pic of it.

But #1 would be taking my oath last week to enlist.

my #2 would be my partner graduating uni at long last

my #3 would be a secret, keep pestering me into the new year and i'll see if i can let the cat out of the bag!:smug:

Seeing Stephen Marley, The Wailers, and Daft Punk all in one mind blowing day at Lollapalooza 2007 in Chicago.

Transferring to a boarding school where I get to ski every day and the people are all dope. (I know thats not 1 day, but w/e)

Every day I got to ski.

Sparking up a fatty J with my friend from Kingston, Jamaica on my roof in NYC on a beautiful Fall evening. It was beyond belief :smug:.

There might be others I'm forgetting but... wait... that would make them NOT memorable, wouldn't it? :hmm:

Moving home to Ireland from the US was nice, although bittersweet. Since September I seem to have been living in the library, so I'm fairly short on memories that don't involve calculus or Bertolt Brecht :p
Best memory? Meeting my girlfriend and moving in with her. Bliss.

That's a good one Tchocky ... I hope to visit Ireland someday myself.

My best moment of 2007 was beating my son and grandson in that new
Wii console bowling game. Here I am over 60 beating a 39 year old and a 17 year old.

Made me feel young again ... I was de man all day :yep:
