i55
Dreamhack Winter, meeting everyone again that I thought I wasn't going to see for another year, going abroad for the first time in 7 years, flying for the first time in 8

Got into a fuckin rad relationship, met cool dudes like Ceejaey, mana, uberchain and davidthewin at i55 and being able to help out the Tip of the Hats guys for their fantastic event.

2015 hasn't been extremely exciting, but everything I've done has been cool as shit for me.

while in terms of real life commitments and relationships with various people this year was a bunch of horseshit and I just wish it to end already, I met a lot of amazing people in tf2 and get along with them really well, is great to see all the big tournaments, great events and lots of community job towards making tf2 better and popular, I am genuinely glad I can somehow be a part of this and see this happening, hopefully 2016 will bring us even more positive emotions, recognition and of course more of that sweet drama
was cool to meet Spammyh in Saint-Petersburg this summer by the way

i55 was great fun, and i58 will be better now that I've learned that eating only pizza and Pringles for the whole lan is a really awful idea

Also got on track for ug research project next summer, cool stuff lined up.

Made a bunch of new friends

Basically just got my life back on track after lazing around for a few years.

Life's looking good.

This has been a good year, indeed.

- First year playing competitive. Pretty pleased with how far I've come in terms of skill, but I still wanna get better.
- Made tons of new friends.
- Grew a pretty fabulous indoor herb garden. (But seriously, does anyone want some Basil? That stuff doesn't stop growing ever.)
- Survived all the bullshit that life likes to throw around.

raising £1300 for a childrens mental health charity.
not being as sick
going undefeated against froyo at i55 (heh)

not trying crystal meth when i was offered it

Going 4th and expected to lose into ESEA LAN and getting 2nd felt pretty good, but I'd say my favourite moment was seeing my exam marks which was a really huge relief as I'm almost done my degree.

Also i55 was pretty cool too, finally meeting people who I played with for years is always fun.

Had sex like twice.
Built a PC.
Got a job testing games.
Played a season of tf2.
Rebuilt and upgraded said PC.
Went to i55.
Went to DHW.
Got less depressed.
Lost weight.

Yeah, 2015 was alright.

its kinda hard to remember a favorite moment, but my fondest memories are of time spent with friends and my brother.

Tip of the Hats was an awesome event, I'm the lucky guy who won the iBuyPower computer raffle for--so that was pretty awesome. I had to go to bed early Sunday but found out about it during my Monday morning commute on the subway playing back the vod with raffle winners. Really surreal, and the computer arrived last week. Neat to play games at 144hz without stuttering.

Being at the Bernie Sanders rally in Boston and seeing his candidancy become very legit in our broken political system has been inspiring to see.

I also went on a trip to Chicago and Minneapolis and got to see Bon Iver play in Wisconsin this summer--that was an eventful summer trip for me.

Also the SC2 Homestory Cup from last weekend was cool--weird to see young starcraft pros retire to do korean military service, but was touching to see the humanity in their coming together to celebrate his win and retirement. LOTV still fun to watch.
