Can't quite believe this is the 6th year I've done this little year in review, but here goes:
2012 - Year in Review
1.What did you do in 2012 that you'd never done before? Took the bus to work every day. Turns out I kind of like it!

4. Did anyone close to you die? No.

11. What was the best thing you bought? My ipod touch! I love this thing.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? The president and everyone who has stood up for marriage equality.

14. Where did most of your money go? The house.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? The bff moving here!!! Hooray!!! (Yes, bff, I used those extra exclamation points just for you.)
16. What song will always remind you of 2012? Home

33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Megan Rapinoe. Sporty girls…I’m telling you.
34. What political issue stirred you the most? Marriage equality.
35. Who did you miss? K, who has been gone far, far too long and is far, far too far away still.
36. Who was the best new person you met? I’ve “met” some lovely tumblr people and nice people on my bus.
37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2012: Have patience. Be honest. Be true to yourself.
40. Would you say that 2012 was overall a good year? Honestly, it’s been a little odd. But I guess I’m ok with that.
