2011 IN RETROSPECT
Challenge: picspammy | YEAR-END LISTS
Subject: 2011 IN RETROSPECT
Notes: This year has meant a lot to me. I probably have been the happiest I've ever been because I got to live on my own in Canada. I had to return to the land of suck (Germany) in November and since then I've been wishing I would still be in North America where everything was easier. Most pictures in this post have been taken by me. So feedback is love.
