Well I've been planning to use quit smoking as every year resolution, but i actualy did quit smoking about a month ago =_=; So given there's not much time well whatever, get out of the house...

Sounds dumb but I've got a social phobia, agoraphobia and depresson so it's actually quite damn challenging, actually so much I didn't leave home for years ;P So yea I guess start going outside..

My personal goal for this year is to improve my Japanese reading comprehension to the point that I'm actually reading stuff that I'm truly interested in. Moe anime stuff is alright, but something with more dramatic weight would be nice. :V

My personal goal would be to be more independent and stop asking others for help.
I would just like to thank everybody for helping me get this far :)

Could get lucky! Or maybe not. But what the hell.

Hi, I'm ferofax, and one of my personal goals for 2014 would be to become a full-fledged pick up artist in a country mainly governed by Christian Catholic conservative virtues (har har har). Or at the very least, be on the path to self-development. So yes, basically, I wanna get laid, like, shit loads. AND I WILL.

Another personal goal of mine, one that I've put off for quite some time now, is to learn Photoreading (think photographic memory for people without it). This will probably me consume more written knowledge more, and actually retain them for future use.

I have three goals.

1) Start a new* diet. I'm looking at the low-carb keto diet, I've been reading up on it a bit on reddit and I think I am going to give it a shot.

2) Get a new job. <Retail store> has been... "fun", but it's just... 3 and a half years is too long, man. I need a new change of scenery. A new job. New people.

3) Get an awesome girlfriend. I'm actually talking to a girl from <Retail store>, been talking back and forth non-stop for the past three or four days, which is pretty cool. We're going to a bar outing on New Years eve with some other of our coworkers... maybe I'll have a New Year's kiss? :wub:

*Edit - I said "new", but it's hard to start a new diet when you weren't on one to begin with. strikethrough!

I need to get myself out of this spiral of doom that I got into.
To the others that know me, I still am the whiz kid I was back in high school, best at everything I do, musical genius, smart as hell, graduated valedictorian.

but hell begin for me in 11th grade. I worked extremely hard for a certain position in high school starting in jr high school, coming to practices way early and leaving late to clean things up and for extra practices.
Even the director pretty much guaranteed the position verbally. And what did I get? betrayal. Kids a year younger than me got a position just because they will stay a year longer than I would.
I was subsequently kicked from the position I held (which was still quite high) because two other kids got nicer instrument that were approximately $2000 more expensive than mine.
Turns out he didn't like that I needed financial support and I paid for the program a lot more sparsely.
I quit after that.

After this happened everything went down to shit. My grades dropped and stuff.
Senior year kinda just passed by. Nothing to do that year anyways. Pretty sure all this conflict did have an effect on my college apps and admissions though.
My friends who did not know this situation started to shun me. Kinda became a shut in.
Well, graduation was near so I thought why not start a new life in college?

Onward to college.
First semester. Mom and sister got into a serious car accident. Car was totaled.
whited out for the next few days, horrible grades in Chemistry. Dropped the class.
Decided to find a job while in college to help support those medical bills.
Grades dropped
kinda got kicked out of the huge circle my suitemates made at the beginning of the year.


Second semester. Dad got Bell's Palsy. His face was paralyzed.
Blanked out again for the next few days. Everything went better, since he got better quickly. Chemistry grades still kinda dropped.

2nd year.
Scholarship decreased because of bad grades. Worked full time + overtime to cover some of that.

The traumatizing experiences with my family and the chemistry grades dropping resulted in anxiety disorder.
Every day of the chem exam I start getting fevers, throw up, etc. During the exam, blank out or even faint.
Result? Not so great at all.

I finally decided that I needed help and went to see a counselor.
Helped a lot. Decided to get examined for mental disorders.

Guess what?
Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar, serious case of ADHD and some symptoms of schizo (borderline)
well shit. ADHD explained a lot of things I had to go through as a kid. (wonder if I could've gone to better college?)
turns out that feeling of "geez I must be a walking trove of psychological disorders" was right.

I realized that I needed to change.
Starting to take meds.
Eating healthier. Learning to cook.
Talking to parents a lot more.
Working out everyday (I was a shut in remember?)
Meditate, self-reflect, picking up music again. (somehow met a famous voice trainer who trained a lot of kpop stars lol)

Hopefully, everything will turn out better in 2014 than it did in 2013.
My life isn't over yet. things are already looking up.

if this matters, either of the prizes would be nice to reconnect with my suitemmates/roommates again it's kinda lonely being the only one in the room while they have their session or go out and have some fun.

The sad part is that it's not even that far away from being done and I still haven't gotten the motivation to do it. Maybe after this I can move to 3DS hacking or something cool. That aside, you can stare at the source code at my Github here since I know someone is going to ask about it. The best part is it loads faster than A-Map and it's cross platform (Java).
