    This video...struck something in me. Feels went off the charts, because this year has been the most influential time of my entire life. The world appeared to have literally lit up.

    From finding this site, to the phenomenal ending to MLP Season 2, the conventions like BUCK and Nottingham, my long-haul trip to Disney World, connections being made with people all across the world, the London Olympics, collecting my vast army of ponies, Oppan Gangnam Style, the space jump, the Mars Rover, the American election, my prom, going to college, Skyfall, just...Jesus...

    That's not to say everything's been perfect...not sure if you're all aware but the reason I found this site was because I decided to search for a forum of one of my interests to cheer me up after my dog, who was a life-long companion to me from birth, had died...and of course I was in the States when the Colorado shootings occurred, and more recently today of course there was the school shooting in Connecticut, Neil Armstrong amongst other inspiring celebrities such as Whitney Houston died, Hurricane Sandy ravaged the east coast, the Kony incident, there were more conflicts in the Middle East, and I hope I'm not the only one who felt a bit of fear when it seemed Mitt Romney was close to winning the election in November, oh and SOPA, that was this year too.

    ...but what makes this year better to me than the others is that I've changed as a person, I know people from all over the globe, my confidence has improved very significantly, I've forged bonds with people stronger than any others in my life, I got through, and some of you may be unaware am still going through, some of the toughest times of my entire life. I've visited a country I never dreamed of thinking I'd get the opportunity, in the same year tears were shed at prom, the ultimate send-off, and conquered some of my greatest fears.

    So despite it also being one of the toughest times of my entire life,

    2012, I'm going to bucking miss you.

    And so with the year drawing to an all too sudden close...how was everybody else's 2012?

    You know, looking back, this year has been pretty swell for me bar a few things.

    It shall not be forgotten.

    It's amazing... This really has been the most eventful year of my life.
    Highs and lows, it's been a bumpy ride all the way to the end, but so much happened this year..

    I got my Associates in college, saved my best friends life, protested against SOPA, and this a few things I did...
    Between the London 2012, first implementation of robotic surgery in my area (which may very well have saved my grandma), Gangnam style, the reelection of Obama...

    I can't believe this, I'm tearing up... 2012 may have been the best year of my life, and I'm only seeing it now in hindsight...

    Goodbye 2012, here's hoping your memory is better than your foresight!

    2012 was absolutely amazing for the commercial trance scene, many of the well known artists who were on a break have returned and brought new fantastic tracks which blew everyone away. That was one of the best things that struck me during the year...

    2012 has been a pretty good year, but nothing has made it stand out from the other years. I've got 2013 to look forward to though, hopefully that'll be another great year.

    Hmm, let's see...

    2012 started off terribly for me, college was horrendous, and I was away from the site.

    However, as the year comes to a close, most everything has improved in some way for me. Hopefully 2013 will be constant improving.

    2012 was my first year on the senior campus at my school. Me and my friends have enjoyed this year while other students started a racial war, with one student being stabbed in the neck by spiked knuckles. My friend got hit by a car and broke his leg and i found out my girlfriend was cheating on me.

    But, the positives outweigh the negatives. This year was the year i made myself properly known on the site, i have got about 6 or 7 A grades at school and went to one of the best parties ive ever been to.

    Also.. I find it funny that Red Bull has a better space program than most countrys :p

    Thank you for that Poetic. It really made me think back too, and now that I have, wow, what a year it's been.

    From the beginning when that car ploughed through our front gate. To the time I tried a third time and failed at finding love. This year, just like yours, changed me, for the better. It seems to go like this every year, and each is better than the next for me. There's been the ups, I've managed to get over many fears, I've grown socially, spiritually and physically, and of course the downs, like My friend whom has been my friend since pre-school, is leaving to another school next year. So yes, this year has been a roller coaster ride for me. Thank you all for such a great year!

    Oh my...the feels, they are through the roof

    The Pros

    - Became a Brony
    - Got a new job
    - Doing better in school
    - Depression finally going away

    The Cons


    - One of my best friends was killed
    - Dog had to be put down

    It wasn't the best year of my life, as mentioned above. Here's to 2013, may it be better than the last year.
