Sorry if something similar has been posted already, but on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is the worst year in your life and 10 is the best year in your life, how would you rate 2006 and why?

I'd probably give it a 5. That's a compromise between the 8 it gets for my six months in Japan with lots of life-expanding experiences and the 2 it gets for the total non-life I had before and after my time there.

.

Maybe a 6. I had some high highs and some low lows.

And no, I don't really care to elaborate.

Not even on the high highs?

Eh, I would say a 5. But 2007 came in with a bang....literally.

weird. it was a strange year.

somewhere between 5 and 7

retina said:

I did more traveling last year than I'd ever done in one year. That was fun.

I'd probably give it an 8. Pretty average, but getting the day job after working evening jobs for the past 15 years was a plus.

Mine has to be a 9. It isn't a 10 just because I'm being laid off after 4 years.

I went to London, Paris, Seattle and Las Vegas (2x), this year. So yeah it was a great year for me.

It's going to be an even better year!!!!

It was a 5 before Oct. '06

Then it shot up to a 9 1/2

That's a pretty big range. What made you say 5 and what made you say 7?

retina said:

It's 'cause he's a grower not a show-er.

That's great!

Are you bankrupt after Vegas though?

retina said:

No I'm bankrupt 'cause of LONDON/PARIS. But it was AMAZING. I wouldn't trade that trip for anything. There are really no words.

It doesn't take long for things to get sexual on this site, does it?

retina said:

5 for being uneventful on the whole, 7 for for a pretty good last couple months of the year

retina said:

I'm actually working on that. It's my New Year's resolution not to make every conversation go into the gutter.

That being said....did you post on my BUM thread?

Oh, I can imagine that London made a hole in your pocket, for sure. I once stayed at a run-down hostel there that was right next to a train track and the room still cost as much as a regular hotel room in any other big city. Soon the only people that can afford to live there are the stock brokers.

....aaaaand what happened during those months? Privacy is not allowed on this thread.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I did, at least twice.

DanceWme said:

Well come on then, tell us what happened to cause that incredible change!

retina said:

Oh I cant do that! But trust, it was good

TMPletz said:

8 is average for you? I now hate you.

DanceWme said:

He finally went down on you, eh?

I would give it a B+ average! I really enjoyed my year. I would say 85% of it I would not change!

retina said:

Duh, he met FunkMistress in November.

8. lots of changes in my life...facing something I feared the most and getting through it better than before..

FunkMistress said:

...which made your year drop from an 8 to a 4, I'm guessing?

mostly an 8 or 9
