2012

As we know, the world is ending on Dec. 21, 2012. (Not really, but we like to scare ourselves). Maybe that's a good thing. Everyone says on the first day of every new year, "This will be the best year yet!" If we think that we are going to die, we try to do as many things as we can. We want to die happy. Although, the world ISN'T going to end, it's still a great way to live. Being productive, in other words.

For me, particularly, this year is going absolutely swimmingly. This is a list that I am working on consisting of all the first things that I have done this year. Also, all the amazing things I have done and I am very happy for.

This list is on-going until Jan 1, 2013:

• Met someone famous 1/11/12
