A Review of My Year: 2012

Here we are on the final night of 2012, waiting for old man time to pass away. As I await the dawn of a new year, I look back at the past 12 months. I have to say, it was a pretty amazing year. I lived life to it's fullest, for the most part. I tried to make every single day count.
The year started off slow, but it was only a week or two before I was arguing with grown adults on the internet (Which, by the way, I just love when 40 some year olds call my 16 year old life pathetic). But that really seemed to set the mood for the year. Thinking about it, I've had a lot of arguments. But I've also grown up a lot. I realized that sometimes you're never going to get through to people and sometimes the argument is just not worth fighting for. However, it's still sort of difficult to keep my mouth shut. I'm 17 after all.

February was an interesting month as well.

  • I dressed up in a Gorilla suit and went out in public for the sake of a History grade. 
  • I also got my permit, which I lost in June. 
  • I found the written proof that I am Jewish. 
  • I discovered CleverBot and talked to my computer for a whole hour. 
  • I signed up for Relay for Life.
  • I finally saw Titanic and bawled my eyes out. 
  • I gave up lying for lent. 
  • But the best was when the Dominoes delivery boy showed up at my house looking for a fictional street. He seemed so confused. I felt bad.

March was also a lot of fun.



  • I took a walk down the street to find a gorilla and a banana coming toward me. 
  • I went to the Crayola factory!! Also, it was the first time I heard Fun. on the radio. 
  • I discovered my talent for baking cheesecake :)
  • I went ice skating for the first time!! 

Yeah I fell a lot.



  • I also baked the biggest cookie ever!! 
  • However, the amount of fires in my area was unbelieveable. Many lives were lost that month.
  • I was also helping to fight the threat of the music department getting taken away at a school I used to attend. 

By April, not much was going on but I was itching for summer to begin

  • I walked The Relay for Life and got some serious sunburn. (Getting cancer while fighting cancer, right?)
  • All I wanted was for Knoebel's Amusement Park to open.
  • I was so ready for summer break. 

May! Final month until Summer!! 

  • It was so warm out that I was already swimming.
  • The first time I witnessed someone being pulled from a car after an accident. 
  • I also saw the movie Insidious, which I did not like. 


  • There were some massive floods. 
  • My doorknob fell off of my door and I was stuck for a few hours. 
  • And on the last day of May, I became a Junior (:

June is full of firsts:

  • I took my first plane ride to Georgia. It was amazing. 
  • I also lost my wallet in the airport for the first time...
  • When I came back, I saw my first broadway show. 
  • I started listening to ska. 
  • I took interest in learning guitar and wouldn't give up until I got a guitar for Christmas :)
  • I stepped into my new room in my new house for the first time.
  • I spent my first night alone in my new house and I was scared to death. 

July!

  • Saw my first drive-in movie!! Batman!
  • I did my first CMVA event! I spent the weekend in a dunk tank and doing a bikini bike wash.

  • Did I mention first motorcycle ride as well?!?! 


  • I really started to grow as a writer as well. I feel like my blog posts were getting more mature. 

August here I come!

  • August was hard core band season. I spent most of my time at school learning our field show ;D
  • I started my Junior year!
  • I also missed the second day of school to go to Uproar. It was so worth it :)
Up front to the right :)

  • And of course, first football game against my old school!! 
Wake me up when September ends:

  • I discovered my loathing hate for Chemistry.
  • I was only in two activities but the practice was so overwhelming.
  • I got a fish from the fair. It died.
  • I started a new blog! theinternetlies.blogspot.com all about my Pinterest projects :D
October:
  • I continued my love for Ian Somerhalder
  • Hurricane Sandy gave me a few days off of school
  • I celebrated my favorite holiday! Halloween!!

November:
  • I turned 17!
  • I auditioned for County and Disrict band for the first time ever.
  • I read The Catcher in the Rye, which was life changing.
  • I saw The Trans Siberian Orchestra!! 
  • I was so ready for Christmas by the end of the month.
And here we are, December:

  • I visited a VA Hospital. There's so much to say about it. Please. I urge you to read my blog post about it. It was life changing. 
  • I got my guitar!! 
  • I discovered my love for Michael Buble
  • I discovered what they meant when they said "honesty is the best policy"
But most importantly, I changed some lives this month and that's the greatest feeling in the world. I cannot wait to see what 2013 has in store for me. If I could help just one person, then my life is worth living. 

Have a happy and safe New Year! ♥
