New years eve on Bokor hillstation in Southern Cambodia, 150 westeners and 200 Khmer raving in the skeleton of an colonial French casino.

[Whaleboy]

this is a high to you? realizing that you're a mediocre writer? damn...

Well, I guess I'm acceptable. Its always nice when you discover you can do something completely alien to what you previously thought you could do.

I think its fair to say that 2003 has pretty much sucked for all . Bring on Thursday!!!

Hi: The time I spent with my family.

Lo: The fact that I had so little time outside of office to spend with my family, but wasted some of that posting on Apolyton.

[Drogue]

Low: Missing my offer for Oxford University (Trinity College). Partly because of a lack of work (Maths), partly because of an exam marking ****-up (Economics - I needed one A from those two). Leaving school in general.

High: Reapplying, finding that University College is almost as nice as Trinity, meeting many nice people during interviews, and getting another offer.

Higher: Realising that I'm the luckiest person I've ever met. When I fail, I get second chances. When things need to go right at a particular time, they do. The satisfaction that comes from knowing that I've done the right thing. For the first time in my life, being able to look back and be proud and happy with what I've done and who I am. Realising that if Armageddon happened tomorrow, that I had to answer for my life, I would feel happy that I haven't messed it up, I haven't misused what I've been given, and that I've done what I believe is best. Liking myself.

Highest: Louise. The person responsible for convincing me of everything above

2003 has been such a good year, Reading Festival hasn't even made it as a high point. Except by association, in that the accident of the last night made me sure I'd fallen in love. A strange thing to do that, but seeing Louise lying there, strapped to the board and in pain, and wishing it had happened to me instead, made me realise how much she meant to me.

High: Meeting someone who helped me through many of the low points, and made me feel i was actually worth something
