A few lower level thoughts from me. I hope they help and are not just ramblings!! 
Thanks for the insightful comments.
Missed the Bishop move, nice find. But if I was white, I'd rather respond like this.
That h pawn really makes life difficult for black.
Gah I just posted a bunch of other variations, but they have disappeared into the ether!!! I see what you are saying with the "free pawn" but I did manage to get black into a better postion twice through variations of 15... Na3 instead of trading queens. However this required a bit more tightrope walking than the queen trade. I also played around with the idea of 11...Bxh4 to remove the threat of the pawn. I just don't want to redo that whole board again right now sorry. Gah.... why did it do that?!?!
I saw those too, and I appricate it. But since the damage has been done, and chances are I'll be in such a situation (even though I'll do my best not to make such pointless moves again or land in such a situtation again). I'm more intersted at the moment in damage control.
But since you went to the trouble, I'll analyze those in deeper depth as well ;) Let me do that now.
@zaXeno
No worries mate. Just out of curiosity, what was the plan with 1...f5? I haven't really looked into any of these variations as I know that if I play them my game will fall apart (as you can see from my wavering analysis!).
@JamesColeman
No offence taken, I like to be pointed out where I am wrong I was thinking about ways to remove that knight that caused so many problems down the line.
Here is some of my other thoughts.
@disgruntled_sheep
I'll be honest, I was feeling a bit lazy, I kinda used the game explorer like a blind fool without putting real thought into the moves themselves, once the game explorer stopped giving me options, my game fell apart fast. First and last time I'll do that.
