With the influx of "OMG DA YEAR ENDED" threads, I thought it necessary to include one of my own. What did you manage to accomplish for yourself in 2009? What life lesson did you realize last year? It can be real life OR TL/BW related. I think this is a good way to reflect on all of the positive.

For me:

- Got a job that I love with good pay.
- Learned I can love again even after loss.
- Finally met TLers at my first LAN
- Found out rap isn't as bad as I thought it was.
- 2000 worthless posts.
- More than one way to cross the cliff.
- Went from D- Zerg player to D Terran player.

2009 was pretty slow for me. A lot better than 2008 though. What about you?

Life lesson:

It's so easy to cruise through your first year of university doing no work or studying, but second year will fucking own you.

Oh my god this is what's happening to me!!!

My list:
- Learned a LOT more about girls and life.
- Got into a suitable university.
- Got to 2k post on TL by doing nothing.

The last 7 years have been kinda sucky, in 2010 I'll start brand new!

edit: 2222th post!

2009 has probably been the most important year of my life so far. I'm 16 and I have a lot to go but I have matured to such a level that I look back and wonder what kind of a little kid i was. This may seem a little hard to believe but I accept the responsibilities that are given to me at this age.

Did accomplish anything?Yes.

-I lost 40 pound by exercising.
-I have started running and can do 6 miles.
-My grades went up this year and I have good classes this year.
-I got myself a gf. ^.^
-I despise my religion.
-I'm doing this course after school that will allow me work as a medica assistant next year.

All in all, a great year.

That's awesome man. You know people say this a lot but if I could rewind to when I was 16 I would do shit so differently T_T. I didnt even want to WALK 6 miles when I was that age, rofl

I learned that humanity is too dumb/shortsighted/self centered to save it's own ass (or at least it's current lifestyles etc.). Kopenhagen *rolleyes*.

Btw I wonder why there was no thread (was there?) about Chinas de facto blockade of the whole event. Oh well... :/

I learned most important characteristics about concept, any concept, like ie their motivational ( and not only ) energy spin, the constant about their relations to belief system, non-existance of two totally indepndent concepts, words symbolical-logical relation or lack of to priority concepts and hierarchical structure of concepts, ie there are always priority concepts that create the subsets of thereof. This is related to theorems and theorem-word maths.

This is actually , I believe , one of the most profound and important discoveries for humanity, as it lets the individual to master the differing skill and to deduce truth - or at least deduce the lack of information needed to deduce it, instead of making false assumptions - in any situation , related to anything .

I believe I received help through non-traditional means but anyways .... too bad I cannot publish it and even if I ever will, I most propably won`t do it by my real name . Good to at least post a shell of it here.



AH and :

Almost totally cured myself from OCD , in addition learned what exactly causes it and how to fix it in a rather short time , without lying to oneself as it is required in the exposing-behavioral teraphy, in a way that is not only coherent to oneself`s sense of truth but also helps to learn about it and learn a lot about human instrument with its emotional and belief systems. This is a discovery too, as there was no 'cure' for OCD , more or less just methods which psychology tried to use as equivalents of cure.


Also learned ways to learn school stuff like 2-3 times faster and memorize it all almost perfectly, without even trying too much. Its just ways to learn, anyone can do it.

I predict many, many posts with lists that are something like this:

1) Got a totally bomb job
2) Got a totally bomb GF
3) Got totally bomb grades

My predictions aside, in 2009 I...

1) Kept my totally bomb job
2) Kept my totally bomb partner
3) Totally bombed my grades

Happy 2010!

Not to be a complete asshole but stop shitting up my thread with this stuff Every post I've ever seen from you is LOL or some other one word comment. (edit: seriously go do a search for "lol" posted by Nigol) Why don't you try actually replying instead of this? You make me sad, bro.

also sorry to mods if this is backseat moderating but i'm getting sick of it ;_;
