Hah, you wouldn't know it from my blog, but I am having the worst year in my whole life. I can't get into it, because it's some super-concentrated psychodrama that one drop will kill a human soul. BUT... I am NOT the only one. I read your blogs, my dear folks, and there have been more breakups, deaths, job losses, and other assorted suckage at a high scale than I have seen... ever. This beat 2001 somewhere in late April, and it keeps getting worse! Many of it private and behind LJ "Friends Only" lists but if you think 2007 sucked, I want you to let the world know this year must be stricken from the RECORD!

It's been terrible, but not the worst

What should we do with 2007?

Ban it from the calendars and history books. Call 2000-2009 a "leap decade" where 2007 didn't exist to line up with moon charts or something...
10 (38.5%)

Make a worldwide do-over
10 (38.5%)

No gives, no takes!
1 (3.8%)

Put it in a bag, set it on fire, ring the doorbell, and run...
2 (7.7%)

Cut it up for fish bait
3 (11.5%)

In an act of ironic humor, do a remake with some of Hollywood's worst actors: Charleton Heston, Keneau Reeves, Christopher Walken, William Shatner, Sandra Bullock, etc...

Claim it was a bad dress rehearsal, there were a lot of last minute script changes. 2008 we'll be ready!
13 (50.0%)

Let all the air out so it makes rude farting noises, spins all over the room, until it lands on the couch with a "pflop"
7 (26.9%)

Shame it to make it 207, then blame the Roman Empire

I chose 1982 be removed from my age, since my mom, fiancee, and, oh yeah the dog passed away that year.

2007 has only included my almost dying from a systemic infection in April, being mugged (and losing my mom's engagement diamond to the thief) in May, and me starting my own website (good thing).

yes it sucks but OTOH, it brought me back to HQ. Back to a place where I don't have to fight for my OT and where I can earn enough to keep us afloat.

2007 is shaping up to be my best year ever. Now many of the past years are all attempting to claim the worst title so it's nice for me to have a good year for once...

I am slightly disturbed by your icon, yet at the same time, oddly fascinated.

It kinda reminds me of a headless thing where a small penis has replaced the head. It wiggles obscenely

Bad for me too

I lost my Mom and 5 months later I lost my Brother, both of which I had to take care of. I lost my dog too. Money? Why wasn't I born rich? My health has suffered also. I had to deal with everything alone. Hospitals, Doctors, Nursing home, funeral home, and trying to figure out how to pay them. I really needed one of those 'Calgon' moments- please take me away!
I do see some hope for the future. 2008- please be a better year for me! Punkie, I'm wishing for the same thing for you too!

I'm actually quite happy with 2007 so far!

I'm making a big career change, I've gone back to college, my relationship with the rest of the family keeps on improving. Nope, so far I like this year pretty good.

Of course it's had its downsides, but that's -each- year.

Come on guys! Don't let all the crap get you down too much :)

I don't think 2007 was the worst year, for me it was the end of 2005 to 2006 that was one of the most horrible times in my life. About the only good thing that happened in 2006 was that I met [info]goodgothgirl

And hey, Sandra Bullock is good actress! (ok, so maybe it's clouded by the fact that I think she's hot but come on, don't liken her to christopher walken!)

See, I was actually pleased to think that in the re-enactment of the psycho drama that I would be played by Sandra Bullock. So, I totally agree with you.

You know the saying, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all?"

Yeah, well, look how many times I've posted this year.
