g: Yes, A is better. You can still live later and if white spends a move to kill the f3 stone, it's quite slow at the moment.]

g: it's hard to tell. It seems that you gave up on your stones and want to take sente. In this case of course it would be better if this whole sequence hadn't been played at all and you had played tenuki directly. If you're only asking about the marked stones exchange it's pretty reasonable to take white's chance for a base, I guess. There is still aji for black (e.g. see my next variation) Though I don't like that invasion point at B. Maybe black's stone better at C?]

It is situations like this where I hope to become a more creative player. I lacked the courage to play the move that came to my eye, C, because it was purely intuition and not back by any reading. I also thought of playing B directly.

g: A is a bit unimaginative, as it only aims at running and not applying any pressure to the corner. B seems like overplay to me, will be split. C is interesting, but maybe you'll have to give up your 3 stones in exchange for the corner then. But could be fine. (Didn't read either ;) the result depends on whites response) I mark other points I'd consider in this shape. Some are asking moves.]

The other option at this point would have been to invade the upper left. I would appreciate comments on where to invade among A, B, or C.

g: this move doesn't do much in regards to protecting black's area, there's still much room at the marked points. I'd prefer D on this side, since black also can't grow much more because white is strong in the middle. Hm, but maybe this is ok, too.

As to invading the top left: You're probably strong enough nearby to get away with a lot although the question is whether points like E and F could become a problem for you. I'd vote for C as it seems the safest option. A could become hard to live on the side and B seems smaller than C and also a bit risky, if white resists strongly]

(;B[lr]BL[527.364]OB[22]LB[mp:A]C[Going astray now. Around this point of the game the quality of my moves begins to detiorate due to the bonus time - I didn't play any howlers (by my standard) but certainly didn't have the luxury to carefully assess each move. 

There is still much to be played in this game and I would appreciate any comments from mid-high dan players on the rest of the moves.

End of comments.

g: this move is already weird - small and also risky, much better at A to grow the right side. If white wants to live there, it will be very good for black. 
I won't comment any further, your moves from this point on seemed very submissive, probably because of time problems. You should be able to find some better moves on your own.]
