So, right now it's the 1st of October and you're starting university in 2 days. How was your first year? Did you quit? I assume not as you're tight fisted when it comes to money and no one wants to throw a mass amount of money away. Did you make any friends at uni? Or are you just hanging around with Luke more?

Are you still BFFL's with Ste?

You're going out with Dawn...AGAIN...Have you moved on there?

Met up with any RVers yet? You said you were going to meet up with Jimmy this year.

Presumably you're still using the HTC Desire S, how is it?

Have you started being a bit more active and stopped driving everywhere?

Holy :bunny:, you'll be 21 now, you better have done something epic to celebrate.

So I managed to survive my first year of university, quite well despite my lack of effort. I wouldn't say I'm hanging out with Luke more, other than at uni, but we do talk about private stuff now.
The BFFL friendship with Ste drifted slightly once he got his girlfriend, he's still a best friend, but Jake is the new BFFL.
About a month after this capsule was written, me and Dawn broke up because I wanted a chance and I started dating a girl called Laura. But now I'm strung up over Dawn because I left it a week too long to tell her how I really felt.
Never met up with Jimmy because he's a jerk.
HTC Desire S was a good phone, plan on upgrading to the One X soon though.
I drive everywhere now, I'll occasionally go out on my bike if it's hot and I want to do some jumps though.

Goodbye past self.

I gained fewer than 100 posts over the past year. That's kinda scary when you consider that I used to average well over a thousand posts per year during my peak activity. o__O

Message: 2011 has certainly been an interesting year thus far. The hiker thing being probably the strangest thing to happen. You certainly were disappointed with the BF3 Beta, and all the stupid changes they made to an already fantastic formula. Did you ever end up getting it and if so, how are you enjoying it? After cancelling your BF3 pre-order, you decided to pre-order Skyrim. How'd that turn out? The RV TF2 server still a thing? Did a rv mafia revive attempt happen, and was it successful? How's life? Any interesting developments on that front? Finally get a job?

I'm still disappointed with BF3, even though I've now purchased it. (well it was actually a friend paying you back) In fact, I now dislike DICE.
Skyrim is/was Fuzzy Bunny amazing, and that's all there really is to say on the matter. Miles better than Battlefiled 3. You've amassed roughly 200+ hours in the game, across PS3, and when you got rid of that, PC.
Not run by me anymore.
Yes, and there's currently a global mafia game going on.
Life is interesting and busy. No job still.

Hello Jeremy from 2012,

I was reading our post from the last one of these and I was really amazed how much had changed in the last year. As I write this we are in shape at last, working hard towards our weight loss goal and a healthier life style so hopefully that's going ok, by the way I hope you started to eat some salad or something every so often.


I do in fact eat a bit better, not as well as I should but its a work in progress. At the time of writing the Time Capsule post I think I was sitting around 225lbs, down from like 250 the year before. After writing last years post I proceeded to get too busy to keep exercising(at least I thought I was) and gain 15 pounds. Last Spring I did Insanity, followed by starting to run every day throughout the summer and working 40+ hours a week doing landscaping. So needless to say I dropped plenty of weight and am sitting at a comfortable 210. I feel better than I have in a long time and I have even gotten a few comments about the weightloss.

Quote:

So, right now your big thing is the Cardboard chair project, we are just making scale models right now for class Monday morning for weight and stress testing so that should be a fun class. I wonder what our final chair will look like as well, the first prototype was ugly and had some big flaws, but we were working towards something really good I think. Thune also mentioned some new project we were going to be doing in the Spring instead of the work with Acro Mills, what did that ever end up being?


I thought I learned what stress was during that cardboard chair project. I was mistaken. It turned out to be one of the easier things I did all year. My chair ended up supporting 200 or so pounds, finally broke on the 20th person or so. Compared to the amount of work that went into the Spring Semester work, the chair was nothing. And in similar fashion, the work that went into the Spring stuff is nothing compared to the amount they expect from us now. Still, it's all for the best and in the end we will be better for it.

Quote:

Where do you live 2012 me? Right now we live in the nice dorms on campus with Josh, Scott, and Cody but I know we had planned to live with Aaron next year when he transfers schools. Did that ever happen? If not why? If so is it fun to live with someone you've known so long? Hopefully he is a good roommate and you guys don't destroy your friendship or anything.


I understand why we didn't see it at the time, but Aaron is one of the flakiest people we know. Shortly after writing this I asked him about when we should start looking into housing options and sure enough there were issues. He claimed it was money, but we both know that's bogus. In December of last year he moved in with a friend back home for about a month and a half, talking to that friend revealed that he has home sick problems. So, in the end I can't really fault him, everyone gets homesick at some point I'm sure.

It all worked out though, moving into an apartment near campus with Scott and his girlfriend was a great choice...especially after the way Josh turned into an ass last year.

Quote:

On a different note, are we still single? As of writing this we have been for about 6 months now so maybe it would be good to hop back on the horse? I know we've considered it but haven't really gone to pursue it as of yet.


Yes we are, and I'll thank you to not talk about it as if it were an easy thing to fix. We had something this summer for awhile but it didn't end up working out. And now there isn't a whole lot of time to worry about relationship issues. If it happens it happens, oh well.

Quote:

Do you have a job yet? We are unemployed at this point which is a bummer considering all of the cool things we could do if we had money, hopefully you have a job somewhere, or at least found a way to make a little bit of cash on the side while you go to school. If not, you really need to find one just to ease the stress of those around us who worry about our fiscal situation. Perhaps try investing on a small scale? Right now we have a few sites bookmarked including one that has a virtual practice exchange on it that we were thinking about using and I feel like it could be an interesting opportunity to make some small cash gains.


1. Yes, I do have a job on campus in the sculpture lab.
2. You're an idiot, at the time of writing this you had like $50 in your bank account. How the hell did you plan to invest with that small amount?

Quote:

Is Runevillage dead? The site was hurt badly a few weeks ago, and some changes have started being made to try and keep it alive, but for now things do indeed look bleak. Hopefully you are reading this message on the forums and not in an email that Jaron sent you.


Dead isn't the word, it's not fully alive and thriving. It's like a coma patient, the body is still there, and there are some small signs of life. But nothing major, for me its more become Mafiavillage these days.

Quote:

Speaking of today though we just saw the finale of Season 6 of Doctor Who and were a bit underwhelmed, I'm not sure if a new season will have premiered by the time you get this but if it has what do you think of it and does it make up for the lackluster season finale we got this year? Hopefully the season started after the Olympics and we won't have to wait until next fall because that would kind of stink.


No cable in the apartment = no watching Doctor Who this season.

Goten's webcomic has grown to be the pinnacle of our web empire. Overall It's been a massive, perpetually-growing success. Of course we didn't let it die. We could never do that.

Yeah, you're codependent. One person disagrees, but a few agree. It's not helped everything, but after getting a few rages off your chest it's a lot easier to be... for lack of a better word, selfish.
Michelle's still running from life. Brian, no update. I'll have to check that. Still good news for them. "This" was typed... ah. I see now. Yeah, the controvery hasn't stopped. You and I both know it wouldn't, nor will it for a long time.
How am I? Stressed. Tired. Sore. And yet there's a lovely little butterfly through all of it.

Old games interest...
Final Fantasy, I went on for a while but never beat the game with it. It was fun, sure, but revisiting the story was the best part of it.
Advance Wars hasn't ended its fun, but it's harder to find a map I WANT to play.
Runescape's pretty much lowest on the list for me these days.
PSO... Funny. I stopped playing after getting angry at the Mines' boss for being invincible against Raine shortly after that, but only recently came into contact with another PSO player while chatting. The urge is back.

Currently, though, I'm playing Pokemon Silver, Minecraft again, Team Fortress 2, Evony, and Brawl... though Brawl is fading.

Drawing has made a comeback, thankfully. At least doodling at work has. DeviantArt has become the norm for it, since Photobucket's upload process was nice and error filled. Writing is still... hit and miss.
DnD is nearly dead. Dan still doesn't know how to keep his free time for himself. Add school to that for our few active players... sigh.
James' plan caved in quite quickly. Sigh x2 combo.

Hah, edit. I remember that cleaning. Mr. Clean magic eraser truly is pretty damn useful!

It's true. I'm not someone who goes for efficiency. But we can still hope!

No cell phone. Still hate those damn things. No iDevice. Tech jobs are most likely out of the question to start with. It's pretty obvious by now, since it hasn't stuck, that I am just not that into it. Oh, I like computers, but if I haven't memorized things like the back of my hand the way I do some stuff in life? It's not my passion.
As far as I know, Goten doesn't want to play anymore. He's never asked me to come on and assist him, so... Sad face.

I am the dumbest person in the world for NOT evolving Bankar into a Golem despite having done five other trade evolutions with Josh. But Lloyd went to Scizor, yes. I half fail? D:

My hair is about halfway back, and it feels freakin' great to have it at this length again.

So far, you've been working two years at your job can you make it to three perhaps? Maybe so.
You just got the LOTRO expansion pack. Try to make it to 75 by December at the latest.
Have you been hanging out with your friends more (becoming more social?)
Have you been balancing your time wisely?
Most importantly, have you been spending/saving your money wisely?


1. Yup, I am still at the same job, doing the same old thing. I made it past three years, hooray! On the downside, I kind of loathe the job a bit more than last year.
2. Yes, I have made it to 75 by December! I got the level on Dec 14th, 2011. Well done!
3. Err yes, and no. Some of that is due to work though, which I guess is alright?
4. Not really, there are still some things to work out with that. Will try better this year I guess!
5. This one is pretty much a yes, with a few slip ups here are there, but I am doing a good job of this. The good thing is I had enough to buy a plane ticket, and now I will have a lot to spend when I get to England! Overall, the year has been pretty ok.

Got a girlfriend yet? How's dat politics going - How's your new big group of conservative friends going? How's the Australian political system going - Julia still in power, or has she been knifed by Kevin Rudd and/or apparatchiks in the Labor party?
How's the guitar playing going? How many solos have you mastered now - I can only do the second one from Fade to Black currently.


Oh man, I should have realised I'd still be a loser 12 months on.

Positive note: Gained like 100,000,000 XP on RS since then.

Haha, I can't believe it. I just wrote up a huge long thing to give to you, and then at the last second when I went to mess with the exclamation point in Poor Shark, I hit backspace while the cursor wasn't on the box and lost EVERYTHING. :P Let's try this again, shall we? Actually since this'll take forever anyway I think I'll patch FlyFF. I've been wanting to hear the music again lately, to match it up with Houkago. (Ooh, 7136 files to go.) And I'm listening to the Steins;Gate ED if you want to try for another Country Train-type thing like last year. 8)
Okay, sure. But as soon as this is over I'm going back to Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse! I've been on a spree with that for the last two days and I don't want to stop it just yet.

1) Hi!
2) Nope. Turns out doing a webcomic takes up, like, ALL of my free time.
3) HA HA NOPE

It took me 13 days to finally do this, which I guess means I'm not as excited about the future as I was last year. And certainly, I'm on such Limited Time that I've settled into a pattern: commute, work, comic, games, special stuff. It's a rare sight that I get to watch some anime or practice my Japanese these days. So instead of asking questions about the future, I'll recount what's going on now, and you can see how things progressed over the last year!
Sure. I'll make a post sometime this week so that I don't end up at the bottom of the list again this time next year. But it's Monday and I need to sketch out next week's comic first.

Work: Going well at the moment. Today we nuked magnolia's path because it has all sorts of whiny problems and can't run sh. ...I think it might've worked. How's the table? Right now it's very basic; can't move any columns or anything, no horizontal scrolling, gonna try for row/column/neither selection tomorrow for the facelets component. Protocols are probably hella awesome or non-existant, I figure. Is everyone still there? I can't imagine anyone leaving, but then again, we lost a few this year. Anyone new?
Haha magnolia! Man I don't think that ever got fixed. We bought crabapple instead.

The...the table? That ugly thing? Ew. If I had my way we'd get rid of that, but right now it's the only thing that can generate a nice-looking thing from a tab-delimited file. I guess there were some fixes to it shortly thereafter; it's got a table-wide filter and the columns are sortable I think. Jing made some columns highlightable too but man. Chaaatay really kind of stepped up his own table and you finally get off version 2.1, so you get to use that instead. We're on 3.4.1 now! Bet you didn't think you'd be up to date there, HUH?

You know, I'd lean closer to hella awesome given that everything is now technically a protocol. I don't think we had the task graph either at this point last year. Wow, what a drastic change THAT is. Now everything revolves around that thing.

Is everyone still there? No. Justin announced his two weeks noticed the day after I wrote that, actually. Jim left a few months later, and Jing quite a while after that. But anyone new? Heck yeah. Surprising though it may be, we have *counts* 7 new people from last year. It's crazy! I'm like 5 out of 13 seniority-wise, but I guess 2+ years at the same job will do that.

My bookcase is totally stuffed. Got three Peanuts books--I'm partially through 1952. I recently found an unread Calvin and Hobbes book. Did you get around to that one, or continue to forget it existed? :P If Crankshaft made anthologies I'd have them all. (Note to self: When I get my own place, buy SEVERAL BOOKCASES. Good plan!)
Oh god really? Did I seriously not read any Peanuts strips in the last 12 months? I didn't read the Calvin and Hobbes book either. But lots of bookcases! I like that idea!

Went to the NLCS Game 3 last night! It was pretty darn awesome and the entire stadium was stoked to be there. Go Cards!
HA THEY WON THE WORLD SERIES. Game 6! How awesome was that? You don't know! But I do! Ha! (Answer: awesome.)
Iffy wrote:

I've been playing my PS3 SO MUCH lately. I have 14 games that actually have cases (more than my Wii I think), but I also have SO MANY DLC games, like the new Castlevania one that Zach and Corey apparently really enjoy. (Score.) I have 645 trophies, 9 of which are Platinum, and am level 12.05 (two thousand points behind Pyro's 12.30.) Where are you now? I'm going to guess...13.60. Unless what I'm worrying about happens. Then I'll guess 12.75. Let me know!
Ha! I don't play it as much as you do, but it's still impressive. I have 17 games now. I assume the three new ones are...Final Fantasy XIII-2, Skyrim, and...uh...hmm. I dunno. I can't seem to log into the PSN either so I don't know which it is, haha. Anyway, I'm level 13.38 with 1016 trophies, 16 of which are Platinum. I passed Pyro and Edgar up ages ago. And you're technically correct about what happened, although it didn't seem to have as much as an effect as I had worried it would. I think it was more that Skyrim took me over 100 hours to Platinum, ha!
Iffy wrote:

I have 26 DS games, which is apparently the same as last year! I already expect to get more this month, though, along with my one 3DS game, so that'll increase.
27 DS games--I think Ouendan 2 is the new one. I have 6 3DS games now--Kid Icarus Uprising is AWESOME and far and away the best of your collection.
Iffy wrote:

My Last.FM is at 52,301 plays, with 1,046 for Black Rose / Green Sun and 8,028 for Homestuck in general. I never thought I'd pass up Supporting Me, but I'm fine with it, really.
75,837 plays, the last four of which are the Steins;Gate ED. Okay it's a good song fine whatever! 1,470 plays for Black Rose / Green Sun though. That's--that's over one per day for the entire last year, and the song had already been out for a while. That's crazy! Topsummoner are you paying attention? That's crazy!

12,132 Homestuck songs total which brings me to an average of 11 Homestuck songs per day over the last year. Since I have my iPod on shuffle and HS music is such a huge part of my library though, that's not surprising.
Iffy wrote:

Speaking of Homestuck, one year ago, Act 5 Act 2 was starting. In 12 days, Act 5 Act 2 is ending. Goodness gracious it's been well over a year. But since Act 6 is supposed to be short and Act 7 a drop in the bucket...is Homestuck over? If so...was it cool at least? :P
Pfft no. Act 6 will be as long as Act 5 probably. We're only at A6I3 so it's technically not even half over? Or maybe it's exactly half over, assuming there's no sixth intermission. Because having an intermission at the end of an act would be stupid, yeah.
Iffy wrote:

The anime thing is completely misleading because I tend to rewatch entire series a lot, but regardless, it says "1 Week, 2 Days, 3 Hours, 10 Minutes". Watch anything awesome lately?
No. I'm not even gonna check because it's misleading like you said. But you DID rewatch Avatar, TTGL, Angel Beats!, and a bunch of Bakuman AGAIN. I've got plans to see a few new things but I've been busy with my comic and games and Solais which is a game and whatever!

I guess it proves a point as to the lack of posting and chatting that has befallen RV lately. Also that most of the coding I do is at work, ha!

...Wait, it's been 353 days but WhatPulse says 13 months have passed. Who the hell does their math?
Iffy wrote:

And of course, Poor Shark! Two days from now, comic #24 is going up. You'll be posting #75 tomorrow, I think? It's tough to imagine that out of the past fifty comics you've done and I will do, I only have ideas for two of them. :laugh: And neither will be next week's, haha. I had 176 non-bots last month, and just this week actually put a plan into action. (SPEAKING OF WHICH OMIGOSH HOW DID THAT TURN OUT? I say THAT because I don't intend to say it here, but I hope you know what I mean!) Get going on those additional plans! Make me proud. (Which, if you've stuck with it, you've already accomplished. <3)
Comic #24? Which is that? *checks* Oh haha, Plants vs. Zombies. Not a bad one I guess. So I posted #73 today, which means yeah, I managed to make it through another entire year! That's so scary. My archive is so big now that I can go back to old comics and laugh at a few of them. The funny thing is I know which comics you have in mind, and one of them has STILL never seen the light of day. It's a Zelda one but I don't know how I want to put the layout.

Oh, you mean THAT? It actually went better than expected if you can believe it, but I'd still say they're lacking. It had a nice positive effect though!

Did you get a new phone? New computer? Join Kingdom of Loathing with the exclusive Comic-con item on your desk?
1) Yep! iPhone 4S. It's sweet!
2) Yep! It's name is Diamond.
3) Nope! Gave it away.

That's about all I got, I think. Actually, in hindsight, this post seems almost better (rushed, but better) the second time through.
Hope you enjoyed 2012 thus far!
It's been okay. Kinda so-so. Grandma's not doing well and I totaled my car. But other things are going okay so I GUESS THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING?

Bye, Butterfly.
It's a neat song but I'm going back to Pumpkin Party now. <3

FlyFF timed out at 300/7036 but it's absolutely flying now, heh.)
And then it timed out again and I logged in somewhere around 11 months later.

First off, how's Digital Metropolis going? And Digital-Complex too I guess. Are you sticking with it? Got a decent update schedule hammered out? How far into the story are you? HOW MANY MORE CHAT AVATARS HAVE YOU NEEDED TO TORTURE YOURSELF WITH?

NO COMMENT.

Things better be going well. This is what we've wanted to do for so very, very long, and I'm working hard to make this happen. Don't you give up on me, and if you already have then just reach down into your subconscious and pay future-past-me a visit. I'll happily kick your ass.

Kid you couldn't kick one third of my ass I am HELLS fit right now.

Where are you living now? Hopefully not where I'm at right now, and hopefully not back up in Montana. Both of those places are pretty much intolerable. I hope you finally figured out a way to get some of that mad college knowledge into your brain, because I'm still not seeing much of a way to get that figured out. If by some miracle you have found your way to Flagstaff, good job future-self-bro. If not, I hope you figured something out.

THANK YOU FOR THE "GOOD JOB", PAST-SELF-BRO. KICKIN' IT IN THE LAND OF FLAGS AND STAVES WHAT IS UP.

How is everyone? Mom still on-again-off-again with the same jerk? Probably. How's Austin? He still with A New Faith? Probably not. I hope I'm wrong on both accounts but these things never seem to change. ...How's Alysa? Hopefully you two are still keeping contact. We've had our fair share of trouble because of her, but let's face it - She's the one we're never gonna let go of. Although I'm now to the point where I can genuinely wish her well in her new relationship, so.. Hopefully there haven't been any relapses there. And on that note, YOU DATING BRO? IS SHE CUTE? Or are you still foreveralone.jpg? Whatever the case, don't give up on love. YOU HAVEN'T HAD A GREAT RUN SO FAR (at the time of my writing this) BUT YOU'LL FIND THE GIRL FOR YOU. And I guess I should ask how Krista's doing, though I doubt you've spoken with her any time recently. I wonder if she's married yet though. She better marry the guy considering she left us for him, anyway. Otherwise it just makes the betrayal all the more disheartening. BUT AH WELL.

Blah blah blah holy Fuzzy Bunny dude just stop typing. Family's the same as ever. Aly's still a bitch but yeah we cool. No I'm not dating but the broads are flocking like I'm handing out asses and they have known nothing but years of bitter ass famine. Don't even ask about that other girl even though you already did, it is better not to even wonder about her.

It's strange how a year used to seem like such a long time, and yet now it seems to feel like it was just yesterday. Time's moving too fast... I'm sure when you sit down and read this next year it won't even seem like anything special. But I guess it's a nice sentiment.

Dude you are so wrong this past year has felt like an eon and I honestly forgot I even wrote something for this time capsule. And even though it was a nice surprise, holy Fuzzy Bunny dude, you laid it on thick. Fuzzy Bunny's gonna get hells better and you're gonna stop taking everything so seriously, so, uhh, hang in there I guess??? Good times are in your future.
