I think the most interesting part of this game is the black stones on the bottom and the white groups they split.

First, white could have cut those stones for a big stretch of the game by playing around K5. You would have been in a lot of trouble.

After the sequence ending in 107, white gave up that opportunity and gave you a golden opportunity of your own: two weak groups facing an impenetrable wall. You do eventually kill the left group, but you take a long time and play some silly moves like O5 first. For the group on the left, the vital point is F2, and I think playing there kills the group unconditionally.

better to ask a question, especially if you won. Wrote this before emeraldon posted his analysis.

edit: i like emeraldon's f2, the shape move, more than my f3.

Simply fixing cyclops' post so more can see it:

We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.
