Analysis of my horrible, passive game :(

Can people give advice on this game? It was played at the 3+2 time control, so fast, but not that fast. I felt like I was slowly crushed, and that my opponent could have beaten me much worse than in the game had he not been in time pressure. 

I just didn't know what to do as the kingside attack gradually proceeded. What do you guys think my plan should have been? I've added some brief annotations on what I was thinking.

(And yes, this is chess960)

I don't mean to be rude to you since(in my opinion at least) you're a top level player who doesn't act like a total jerk, but there is a game analysis forum.

lol you're right - If a mod wants to move this, he/she can feel free

Chess960 seems rather unpopular here...

Is this always the set up for Chess 960?

No - there are 960 different positions - basically, you shuffle the pieces on the back rank randomly such that the only restriction is that bishops must be on different color squares.

I love chess 960. I tried to analyze this game to give you an opinion but you are obviously a stronger player than me so I don't think I can offer much. Seems like your space advantage and full development along with his bad bishop and unconnected rooks could be capitalized upon. Your opponent played a lot of moves you had to immediately react to. If not for that I was thinking a queenside attack might've been a good plan.

It's not that I need "advice" - if you define as telling you the right or wrong moves. I'm just wondering what other players would think if they got into such a position as white...

I thought similar things, but the bad bishop turned out to be very strong..
