Yuck!
...and now I'm back below 1700. My opponent went out of my personal book knowledge at move 3, and that's almost never a good thing. Nevertheless, I largely outplayed him in the opening, but ended up with a terribly cramped position of the type that is notoriously difficult for me. I ended up throwing away everything trying for an attack on his king, just hoping to break through...but it didn't work out as you can see:

It seemed that Bc6 was the start of your troubles, allowing white to expand b5 and c6 with tempo.
Congrats for having the guts to post a not-so-flattering performance. Games like this allow for really rapid improvement. Your opponent played very well!
The opening is very thematic and natural, so i dont think getting thrown out of book is too dangerous... It turned out to be a very good version of the Tarrasch for black.
Thanks Patrick,
Yeah, Bc6 was just bad...I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking. I do have a slight tendency to overlook simple pawn pushes like that, although I've gotten better about it than I used to be. Ah well...they say you learn more from your losses than from your wins, right? :)
