Make a post in here about your current ideas, ambitions, resolutions, dreams, crushes that will never work out, and so on. Then, at the start of the new year, I'll bury this Time Capsule by making it hidden. Around this time next year I'll bring the thread back and we can all take a look at what we said and see what we've done, what we haven't done, and whats laughable today.
For example, if you were a certain undead monkey named Moko, you could write something like this:
Quote from Moko »
Favourite activities: Eating bananas and terrorizing Eli.
Short-term goals (Goals over the next month or two): Find where Eli hid my banana stash. Find other undead monkeys to play with. I would also like to attract the cute monkey Koko, but I don't think she likes me.
Long-Term goals (Goals over the next year): I would really like to learn how to play Magic well. I also want to stuff Eli in the car trunk instead of me on the way to the next big event. Oh, and maybe if I'm really lucky I can start dating Koko.
Current favourite song: Monkey Man by The Rolling Stones
Where do I see myself in a year: Probably still undead. I'm still trying to learn how to eat brains, but Eli won't teach me. I'd like to get a nice job at the tuxedo shop if they start hiring. Hopefully a year smarter!
Current post count: 4
Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: 8
Current favourite/overused word: Brains
Current favourite Magic card: None in particular, they all leave paper cuts when thrown hard enough
Current favourite Magic deck: Flores DI Shahrazad's
Predictions for the next few magic sets: There will be a very handsome, but daring, zombie chimp as the protagonist
in the next block.
Thanks Moko for the example!

Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: 2,761
Current favourite/overused word: sadly, douche. and package.
Current favourite Magic deck: standard: blazing kithkin; legacy: swans thresh/ITF
Predictions for the next few magic sets: they will not suck as bad as kamigawa. conflux will bring us actual deck archetypes based on alara cards, and will show shards fighting their enemy colors. alara reborn will be largely two-color. 11th will have cycling and planeswalkers.
Time to see if I hedged my bets right. *clicks on last year's capsule*
Activities: Maintained. Short-Term Goals: All achieved. Even the pay raise! Long-Term Goals: Epic fail. Favorite Song: I've given up on choosing a specific one any more. One-Year Prediction: Shifting towards Math/Economics, maintaining my interests. Nothing Magic at my uni, unfortunately. Future Posts: Aw, I fell short. 373.28 more needed. Current Favorite Word: Mm. Might have changed, I can't finger it. Current Favorite Card: I never did hate you, Profane Command. Current Favorite Deck: I don't play enough to merit favorites any more. Predictions: Epic fail.
Now then, this year's...
Favorite Activities: Playing Magic, watching anime, gaming in general. (Maintained.)
Short-Term Goals: Keep my scholarship, start working towards a serious backing in a major, plan for the future.
Long-Term Goals: Do something at a PTQ, if I can ever get free time to attend one. Get a future plan set out, maybe a job or goal planted firmly.
One Year Later?: Undergraduate junior, Math-Economics Interdisciplinary declaration, a master's degree plan in the works. Still hard-driven by Magic and anime.
Current Post Count: 4,346.
Predicted Post Count Next Year: 6,969. (Yea, I went there.)
Serious Predictions: None, since I suck at them. Yea, I'm epic fail.
Current Post Count: 3,073
Projected Post Count: 3,333
Vintage predictions:
No significant Vintage B/R changes.
Time Vault and Brainstorm will stay restricted. Ponder may not.
Prices of power will fall due to lower demand.
Best deck will be some storm variant.
Tezzeret will never really get going.
Attendance at Vintage Worlds will be lower than last year.
Favorite activities: Playing Gears of War 2 and CoD 4-5 on Xbox live with friends, watching hours upon hours of anime, writing prose and poetry, playing MWS.
Short-term goals: Raise my GPA to above a 3.5
Long-Term goals: Raise my GPA to above a 3.7
Current favorite song: Jesus Walks - Kanye West
Where do I see myself in a year: Being stressed over SATs and finals.
Current post count: Too much... 2197.
Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: 4000
Projections: The rest of the Alara block is going to be just as bad as Shards.
Hopes: It isn't. And that we get painlands and shocklands in Eleventh. (I know, I'm funny...)
Current goals: Graduate a semester early?
Randomness: Three cheers for standard being a bad place to hang out right now, but lets hope it gets better. Until then, I shall find myself perfecting my Limited Rating. Let's see how that one goes...
Current favourite Magic deck: an unfinished reanimator deck that I'm working on. Unearth ftw!
Predictions: Alara block will be overshadowed by 11th. 11th will have the original Planeswalkers in it and will power up White enough so people will play something other than Kithkin! Hasbro will try to take a more active role in Magic. WoTC will probably release another TCG that will ultimately fail.
Favourite activities: Cycling through old computer games, playing Osu Tatakae Ouendan on DS, generally loafing about.
Short-term goals: Get to at least three LAN parties over winter vacation.
Long-Term goals: Make a good start on a programming portfolio.
Current favourite song: Sorairo Days by Nakagawa Shoko
Where do I see myself in a year: Much the same, except one year older.
Current post count: 3041
Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: 3700
Current favourite/overused word: Tomfoolery
Current favourite Magic card: Palinchron, whose hilarious infinite-mana joys I am only just discovering.
Current favourite Magic deck: Eh. Not really playing constructed Magic right now.
Predictions for the next few magic sets: Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker will either be ridiculously good or just fall flat at too high a mana cost. Canonist Affinity will be the best deck in Extended for exactly the one year between the fetchlands and goblins rotating out, and Mirrodin block doing the same.
Current avatar: Kamina, the living embodiment of GAR.
Current custom: "Who the hell do you think I am?!" which sadly doesn't quite fit on one line.
Predictions: The upcoming Faerie hosers in Conflux will fail miserably ala Imi Statue against Affinity. Conflux will suck big time just like Alara did and Lorwyn will continue to stranglehold Type 2 until it rotates out. Alara Reborn will also be an extremely underwhelming set power-wise. Alara block as a whole will be about as underpowered as Kamigawa block was. 11th edition will be amazing, but the continuation of mythic rares in Magic is an absolutely retarded idea.
Hello, Alacar Leoricar! I'm glad to see you're still around in 2009.
Favorite Activities: Hanging out with Michelle, your new girl Gaming and other geekery! Wii games, PC games. Remember Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People? And Left 4 Dead?
Short Term Goals for 2009: Get a car, and get better grades! And a job, too.
Long Term Goals for 2009: Marry Michelle. She's the girl of your dreams.
TV and Movies: I love watching old episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. And now Michelle's getting you hooked on Avatar. The Dark Knight was the best movie of 2008, and I look forward to Transformers 2 and Watchmen
Games: Here's hoping by the time you see this we'll see news of Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Not to mention all the gaming you'll be doing with Michelle, you lucky dog. I hope she's awesome in Magic and D&D.
Current post count: 16,844. Your count in 2007 was 7,974. Your prediction was off by about 5,000 posts.
Future post count: Approaching 30,000. Hopefully you'll be a staff member by then.
Predictions: I top 8 New York States next year, possibly top 4... OR... I get a ps3 and play FF13 and FF13 Versus, destroying my competitive Magic run because I can't get away from gaming. Just paid my car off, got an apartment, so nothing responsible will happen until 2010.
Hey, this is more fun than I thought in 2007. I thought, "Well, I remember writing that, so I guess there will be no surprises". Yeah, right. Another round?
Quote from Past me »
Y hello thar, SoWL! Как твоя студенческая жизня? ~___^
Как студенческая жизня? Отстой, конечно. Но не волнуйся, ты уже давно о ней забыл, потому что я не пережил зимнюю сессию.
Still there. Yeah, I still browse 4chan. And iichan.ru. Degradation ahoy!
Favorite activities: Playing Visual Novels (yeah, Tsukihime was the first), reading random letters, playing PSP and PS2. Oh, and watching anime.
Quote from Past me »
Short-term goals: reanimate our PC (T___T), get some zazzy anime figures, get more games for PS2 - the last one I had was Castlevania: Curse of Darkness O O Also, finish P3 and Jigoku Shoujo.
Yep, P3's ending is awesome beyond belief, though I didn't finish it, because I still have to try out FES. JiShou is unfinished, too, because of Mitsuganae. For the other ones, success!
Short-term goals: Pass the exams, finish Saya no Uta and Shikkoku no Sharnoth. I should also catch up to all those awesome anime series which started this fall.
Quote from Past me »
Long-Term goals: finish high school (yeah...), bend Photoshop to my will and get a job as journalist
Ahahahaha, no. Enjoy your NEET life and 1.5 hour long road to university.
Long-term goals: learn Japanese, begin translating visual novels to become new TakaJun. I should also turn 18, I guess, though "Eternally 17" is much better.
Quote from Past me »
Current favourite song: "Joint" by I-dont-know-who-but-it-is-SnSII-opening, "What's Going On?" by Turtles, "Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni"
Still awesome. And how could you forget Kawada Mami?
Current favorite song: "Dorchadas" by Rita, of course. "Find the Blue" and "Shoes of Glass" by Kanako Ito are really close, too. There's more, of course, I've been listening to cool music much more often than before.

Wow, I guess I should be glad that I got 4chan OST. And what's with all those smilies?
Current favourite/overused word: "I guess. Maybe. probably. I think so."
Quote from Past me »
Current favourite Magic card: Abundance. Most imbalanced card since Sekki, Seasons' Guide and Pandemonium. And Chandra Nalaar for awesomeness.
Good thing I got most of those.
Current favorite Magic card: Alara has a lot of good cards, but Mycoloth and Ooze Garden are the best.
Quote from Past me »
Current favourite Magic deck: uhm, BR-Madness? Oh, and I'm pretty happy that Dragonstorm is alive because of some crap rares ^^
Alive? Duh, okay.
Current favorite Magic deck: Shadowmoor "I-build-myself" decks, especially BR one.
Quote from Past me »
Predictions for the next few magic sets: a whole bunch of things so obvious that it would seem as pure genius. MaRo is good at things like these.
Yeah, two multicolor blocks in a row is pure genius. As is precons' and fat packs' death.
Predictions for the next few magic sets: Well, I do believe it will get better. Hey, maybe they'll even try new block theme.
Favorite activities: Mtg, Poker, Football (American), Wrestling (Folk style and Greco-Roman), Playing with my dog

Long-Term goals (Goals over the next year): Get onto the train, Start making connections to people in the business world, Stay in college
Current favorite song: Ugh, so hard to choose but I would probably pick something Bruce Springsteen (E Street Band, none of this Seeger Sessions crap) or The Killers, maybe some Coldplay? Neil's been sounding good too.
Where do I see myself in a year: Out on my own in college, maybe home for Christmas, maybe not (depends on where I end up going) probably still playing Mtg, Hopefully I will be gainfully employed.
Current post count: 62, I think
Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: 64
Current favourite/overused word: Possibly
Current favourite Magic card: Aether Vial
Current favourite Magic deck: Legacy Goblins (Vial)
Predictions for the next few magic sets: Should be better, I'm assuming that the "Shards" block is just the "Kamigawa" block of '08-'09 so the means we are due for a set that is just as fun as Ravnica, right?
Favorite activities: Playing Magic, hanging out with friends, over utilizing the internet.
Short-term goals: Try to make it through a semester of college, give Magic a bit of a break.
Long-term goals: Try to get something out of school/staying in school for more than the above mentioned semester, get back into Magic in hopes of finding a worthy playgroup to really get somewhere with the game.
Current favorite song: Master of Puppets by Metallica
Where do I see myself in a year: Not in school, probably working at the game store I do now, having less fun playing Magic, except for the unlikely, aforementioned scenarios.
Current post count: 250
Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: 1,500
Current favorite/overused word: Epic
Current favorite Magic card: Call of the Herd, Warp World
Current favorite Magic deck: Standard KCI, Standard Gruul Beats, Legacy Goblins

Third year doing this, now I'll make it a short one...

Short-term goals: Play a LOT of Magic before it's too late (when I return to school after the holidays)

Current favourite song: Halo, by Bloc Party
Where do I see myself in a year: College! And working. Also driving. Maybe even speaking another language (Catalán DOES count:p). Posiblemente hasta más alto.
Current post count: 407
Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: Gee, I really don't know. I just want my freaking custom title already!

Current favourite Magic card: It'd have to be Elspeth. I'm getting obsessed with her.

Current favorite movie: Ehm, Wanted?
Current videogame playing: Kirby Super Star Ultra! (Got it yesterday... it's weird. It's a remake, I know, but still...)
Fun to see last year's predictions. I did fairly well, actually, though I haven't managed the move and likely won't for a while longer.
Favourite activities: Savoring dark chocolate, baking bread, deckbuilding, and spending time of any sort with my girlfriend.
Favourite movies: Casblanca, Schindler's List, and The Maltese Falcon. (change from last year: #3 was It's A Wonderful Life instead)
Short-term goals (Goals over the next month or two): "I never make plans that far ahead."
I mean, get another job, preferably another baking position, get belated Christmas presents for a few people I didn't have the funds with which to give a suitable gift, and see about getting some kites fixed. That's about it.
Long-Term goals (Goals over the next year): Adopt a stricter budget plan and save money, with little else beyond my normal desires - enjoy good food, bake a lot of breads, pick up one or two kitchen essentials along the way, play more Magic, and see a few good movies. Maybe get a car, but probably not that, either. Oh, and find a way to get down to Disneyland so as not to miss a year in visiting the place at least once each year of my life.
Where do I see myself in a year: Working hard so as to get out of this place, and, if matters continue to improve, engaged.
Current post count: 4,347
Number of posts I think that I'll have in a year from now: I'll be more specific this year with... 5,113.
Current favourite/overused word: None at the moment. I think I successfully steered away from excessive use of "though," despite still using it often.
Current favourite Magic card: I think I'm back to Battle of Wits.
Current favourite Magic deck: I think it's my Wizards Orb-Opposition deck, though a monoblack control deck focused on Nightshade Assassin is closing the gap.

Как студенческая жизня? Отстой, конечно. Но не волнуйся, ты уже давно о ней забыл, потому что я не пережил зимнюю сессию.
Still there. Yeah, I still browse 4chan. And iichan.ru. Degradation ahoy!
Yep, P3's ending is awesome beyond belief, though I didn't finish it, because I still have to try out FES. JiShou is unfinished, too, because of Mitsuganae. For the other ones, success!
Ahahahaha, no. Enjoy your NEET life and 1.5 hour long road to university.
Still awesome. And how could you forget Kawada Mami?
Alas, alas...
What? I got it just a year ago? Wow.
Close. Really close.
Wow, I guess I should be glad that I got 4chan OST. And what's with all those smilies?
Good thing I got most of those.
Alive? Duh, okay.
Yeah, two multicolor blocks in a row is pure genius. As is precons' and fat packs' death.

Current favourite Magic card: Aether Vial
Current favourite Magic deck: Legacy Goblins (Vial)
Predictions for the next few magic sets: Should be better, I'm assuming that the "Shards" block is just the "Kamigawa" block of '08-'09 so the means we are due for a set that is just as fun as Ravnica, right?
Short-term goals: Try to make it through a semester of college, give Magic a bit of a break.
Long-term goals: Try to get something out of school/staying in school for more than the above mentioned semester, get back into Magic in hopes of finding a worthy playgroup to really get somewhere with the game.
Current favorite song: Master of Puppets by Metallica
Where do I see myself in a year: Not in school, probably working at the game store I do now, having less fun playing Magic, except for the unlikely, aforementioned scenarios.

I like 4/4s for 7.
Favourite activities: Savoring dark chocolate, baking bread, deckbuilding, and spending time of any sort with my girlfriend.
Favourite movies: Casblanca, Schindler's List, and The Maltese Falcon. (change from last year: #3 was It's A Wonderful Life instead)
Short-term goals (Goals over the next month or two): "I never make plans that far ahead."
I mean, get another job, preferably another baking position, get belated Christmas presents for a few people I didn't have the funds with which to give a suitable gift, and see about getting some kites fixed. That's about it.
Long-Term goals (Goals over the next year): Adopt a stricter budget plan and save money, with little else beyond my normal desires - enjoy good food, bake a lot of breads, pick up one or two kitchen essentials along the way, play more Magic, and see a few good movies. Maybe get a car, but probably not that, either. Oh, and find a way to get down to Disneyland so as not to miss a year in visiting the place at least once each year of my life.
Where do I see myself in a year: Working hard so as to get out of this place, and, if matters continue to improve, engaged.

Current favourite Magic deck: I think it's my Wizards Orb-Opposition deck, though a monoblack control deck focused on Nightshade Assassin is closing the gap.
