Chris Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 didnt gallaxy of fire start in 2004?yes, but the one practice we have had so far doesn't really count as doing anything. Once the other members stop poncing about, releasing Albums and EPs with their other bands then something might happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael MacLennan Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hmm, my year so far:* Saw some great gigs in Glasgow (inc. Isis, Dillinger, A Perfect Circle)* Drank a lot, had lots of great nights out with friends, though not enough times in Aberdeen unfortunately* Wrote short story for competition, got nowhere with it, but got some ideas going* Got a post-graduate qualification in Journalism* Got job back in the Highlands as a journalist, so moved back somewhat reluctantly, but now doing job I actually enjoy, and trying to find a way back to a decent city* Worked very hard during the summer to produce a 15,000 dissertation on press ethics (as interesting as it sounds) in order to up my qualification to a MLitt (still waiting to hear the results)* Resurrected Popcorn Fiend for a couple of gigs, including the superfun Gavfest, though stagnated a bit since then* Worked even harder to get fit, have lost over a couple of stone (and looking a lot better for it), and ran Loch Ness 10,000m. Now preparing to do marathon next year, and ran half-marathon distance a couple of weeks ago. WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SIX-PACK! Which means I'm stuck doing exercise five times a week for the next few years, until I collapse dead.* Family moved to a nice new house, and slowly starting to pay off the sizable debts I accumulated in Glasgow* Got to review Ross County every week and get paid for it, as well as being on a first name basis with Alex Smith, and having him phone meA fair bit I would have liked to do, but lots of ideas for the future, and think I've achieved quite a lot compared to previous years. Also a lot happier than I had been, and more positive in many ways, if there's something I don't like I try and do something about it rather than sulk.The downsides are pretty much the same as Chris, been single for whole of the year, and musically done nothing like as much as I would have liked to, especially with regards to being in a proper band. Also sucks living in the Highlands, where all my friends have gone to bigger and better places, leaving myself a bit isolated (I rectify that by talking to myself a lot more). But trying to get in shape to look half-decent again, and will rectify music situation once I'm in a place where I can get into a good band. Bring on 2005!

New Found Power Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 *refusing to work at uni' date=' thus falling further and further behind.......[/quote']I saw you skiving today, you shit. Says me, who hasn't been to a single lecture in 9 days.... Anyway, this year I was mostly:-Starting a new job, doing less work than before for more cash. A plus point, obviously.-Passing 1st year Uni, despite dismal attendance and almost completely missing the summer Chemistry exam. (Going to Marischal College instead of King's...yeah!)-Having an ace summer, making at least one very special friend along the way.-Going back to Uni, feeling refreshed and ready to knuckle down and put teh work in this year.-Falling back into old habits less than a fortnight into the term. Oh well, never mind...I'll just try harder next year.A pretty uneventful year really, but I still had an ace time of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I just realised I've missed out two of the most positive things I've done this year. I started training in Hung Ga Kung Fu during the summer after a few years away from martial arts (and any kind of fitness regime whatsoever) and I quit smoking. Well I say quit, I've had a few lapses lately while drunk but I havne't had a sober cigarette since April. Healthwise I feel better than I have done for years, just wish this gut would go away!
