Highs and lows of 2005?

[MetalMilitia]

So what things have really stuck in your mind about 2005? These can be personal or public things.

For me, the highs have been:
- Going to Download festival
- Meeting my girlfriend
- Giving up smoking weed
- Going to Uni
- Meeting lots of new friends

The lows:
- A (ex-)friend had a breakdown and went crazy
- Im pretty sure I have destroyed my liver
- I supose its kind of gay that this year there has been War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. Lets just hope no apocalypses happens soon.

Lows

Tropical, you're at Sussex?? Why thats in my home town goddamit - do you live on campus or in Brighton?

[sloth]

Is it my imagination or did Helm go to university in England as well?

I think my cousin goes to Bournemouth. He loves it, but he came from Somerset so he's going to love anything with electricity and women's ankles in broad daylight.

[AChimp]

Helm hasn't been around for a long time...

I live in Brighton. Still university owned accomodation though.
Loud ppl tend to live in campus.
