Yep, it's that time again kids, December is upon us and with it so many new expectations, hopes, dreams, and the respective opposites of all that.
This is an annual time capsule. So far a different person has hosted it every year with slightly different results.
(I'm actually surprised the 2013 one hasn't been metaphorically dug up yet)
Nevertheless, here goes it.

This topic will be Locked and Sealed on New Years Day.
Please have your posts in by then.
Typical posts include what you plan to do in the next year- Goals to set yourself, the name of whoever you have a crush on, what websites are currently big etc. Go crazy.
Whilst I do generally enjoy one post each, it also has a tendency to cause the thread to sink before everyone can get their new years resolutions in.
So I'd say give a very noticeable specific indicator to show where your 'Capsule' post is, just so that if the thread explodes (as has happened before), you can find it again next June when you're having an identity crisis.

This topic will then be unlocked sometime around next Sep/Nov/December. I will put a reminder in my phone, and it will be a pleasant surprise for all of us when I necro it back from the days of Dubstep.


Enjoy, and let's all join for some good ol' reminiscing next year.

I'm going to post some news items here:

What happened with Ukraine?
Is there a new economic crisis?
Is the press still talking about Fukushima?
Has Belgium Split yet?

More to be added as I remember all those interesting stories I was supposed to remember.

[RedKing]

Congratulations, future me! You're going to be divorced!
Is it going well? Still seeing the kids plenty?

What about the significant other? Have you moved in together yet? Have you introduced the kids to her?

How do you feel about being a year shy of the big 4-0?

How's the job holding up?

Please write back.

Heya future-self. Everything the same as always? Okay then. Hopefully you didn't fuck anything up too poorly.

You'll be nearing the end of your third semester! Are you triple-majoring, or double-majoring with a minor? Will you be studying abroad in Russia?

Are you single? If not, has Latin class girl changed her mind, or are you back with your best friend? Or is there someone else? The answer may be "nobody", which may well be for the best.

Are you still working at that infernal fried chicken place? Hopefully you've got a job at the library where you can browse Reddit during your paid time or have a job tutoring idiots for moneys. Try SAT tutoring in the wider community.

Can you drive? (You better). Do you have a car?

How many more books have you bought that you didn't really need?

To the future me:
How much did you screw up this year, and how much did my procrastination screw up the future?

Did Dwarf Fortress update?  How was it?

Did Homestuck update and how accurate were the theories?  How was it?

Are you still running that game?  How far have you come?

[Cthulhu]

You're Cthulhu!

I'm Cthulhu.

Have you been exposed?  Of course not.  We are furtive squids.  Some things we will take to our grave.

Listen up, future me, because I cannot stress this enough: They are coming for you. You need to leave. Now. Pack a little if you must, but beware all electronics. They've been in your phone this whole time. Alaska might be a good choice, if you still know that guy up there. Just don't ask him about events two years ago (your time). He might get violent.

Shit, it's too late! Are you going to have heard the glass downstairs breaking just then? You're outta time! Head for the overpass; there'll be a coal train passing underneath at precisely 5:13 en route to Ensenada, in Baja. You can book passage to Alaska from there. Now, run! RUN!

Now, me this is very important. GET SOME GODDAMN WINTER CLOTHES IT'S FREEZING. On a more serious note we should really work towards getting a car.

Hello BlackFlyme, how's things?

Got a driver's license yet? Oh. Okay.

How about a girlfriend, got one of those yet? Of course not.

What about making friends at college? Really? Come on.

Did you at least meet up with some of your old friends? It's been almost a year since you've last talked to any of them.

Seriously? Did you do anything this past year? No, going to school doesn't count.

I'm going to read this in a year then hate myself for it.

Edit: I did, and I do.

Spoiler: To Future me (click to show/hide)

Please, please, please tell me that you have successfully passed everything you need to and are on the track to graduation on time. I don't want to have to pay more for college.
