I suppose aside from lurking and being a thorn in people's sides I randomly do this post kind of reflecting how the last year has went since I have signed my life away for the next month as I will be working non-stop. I suppose its also looking for your guys views since we be a diverse and wonderful group. Go us.

Anyway I suppose like all people I had my ups and downs. Initially from January to June I had the hell of an asshole manager at work as well as the stress of sitting a college course I never liked plus dealing with emotionally ****ing myself up by getting involved with a girl I should never had. I reckon it was good for "Character Growth" albeit to be more precise it was the final kick up the arse I needed to realise I couldn't rely on doing so little and expecting big rewards, I was the slacker smart guy from academy or to our american members High School, so I suppose over the summer I started looking for ways to earn more money. End result was I tolerated my job up until a month ago where I moved up in a sense job wise getting a better contract for a supermarket chain known as Sainsbury. They offer courses within the company so I see it as a make money and get some qualifications on the side where I can. True most of these are standard stuff like retail management and the like but it offers some odd options such as butchery which interests me. Luckily I kind of have a vision of where I want to be now after looking over my passions and what I do best so I should be going back to college or if I am lucky university to go into public relations and using family connections aim to eventually get a job within a gaming company.

Next is the bit I kind of need your lots opinion on. The girl I previously mentioned was a relationship that was fecked up from the get go. I won't go into details but needless to say we still talk, we are still friends however the last time we seen each other was New Year and had sex. It wasn't the first time but since then we just never met, hang out, went for a drink which we were known for since her local pub and me had arguments due to my accent ((for being scottish or namely a westerner I an very polite and well spoken so I seemed out of place)) and I suppose its lingering regret. She is now engaged, she has only been dating the guy for 6 months now I think, and perhaps for me its a bitter pill to swallow knowing I was left out in the lurch. So I guess I am asking you lot what you reckon I should do and no I am not going to the wedding to yell I Object for that is madness. Oh and point search the song Poison by Alice Cooper cause that is describes what its like with her.

Final reflection in my mind right now is YGO itself. I am a lurker with less than 1k posts while many guys I have known via this have rocketed past me albeit some via the power of spam however despite any quarrels I have had with anyone on here you are all sound people I have talked to. This game after being dragged back in got to me to visit my locals and see there was more people and make some good friends as well as find old ones I reckon I never met again. Its brought back a fun factor I needed I suppose in my life to level me out and also give my mind something to work on while I wait to go back to college by contemplating new builds and such but I thank the forum for what you guys have done.

A short lil reflection but I reckon I covered the main bits my mind was thinking of without going on too long. Anywho don't need to reply or give advice but thank you anyone who read this and hell perhaps you guys can post some lil reflection from the past year below as well.

aside from humanely irrelevant characteristics i feel as if there is little progress to be made as a full-time student. i mean, school is your entire life and allows no flexibility at all so anything you pursue is automatically limited to dabbling.

i think you did ok i mean i did worse but yeah if schools your whole life you can burnout and there is no room for other stuff
