Posting the first five things off the top of my head. There's probably a whole lot else that happened but I've been an isolated person for some parts of the year anyway. That and I probably am not as hardcore as Rym and Scott in the "taking notice of the cool if irrelevant stuff" department, go figure.

Another fucking election
The end of Nostalgia Critic
Avengers
Pirates!
Mass shootings
For me:
A trip to the psych ward
A friend OD'ing
Developing a nervous twitch
My parents and the private-practice psychiatrists they hired fight against the shcool system and the establishment; I fight for it. They win.
Getting dicked over because my English teacher was out for the last term, and the sub was less-than-competent.
PAX-AB hell (which ended up being awesome)
CTcon hell (which ended up being mildly less awesome)
My first Otakon (which ended up being somewhere in between)
"Welcome to California, where the women are like the buildings: big, colorful, and made of plaster!" -- Uncle Aristo, upon me arriving to stay with him for a week
More emo-bullshit with the start of the school year, but this time I won.
Get the best grades I've ever gotten, but my GPA only rises by a little.
Discover it's really fucking hard to make new friends when the cliques are already formed and you got placed in the "loner stoners."
Fuck Thanksgiving I think I can safely say I won't start 2013 like I started 2012.
-Meeting new friends and my heroes from Spill in Austin.
-Starting off the year with MAGFest is the ultimate palette cleanser and best way to start the year. (And met some FRC people, woo~)
-Getting awesome grades in University, raising my GPA and making lots of friends within the major too.
-Learned a lot about editing on a visual/audio and written level
-No longer have any anxieties about meeting new people or going to new places
On a more personal level, it's been a mess.
-First Car Accident, really making me fear roads/accidents to a certain point.
-Fully acknowledging that my brother is a horrible person at heart.
-Stress has been a constant, never seeming to have enough sleep.
-Not exercising/dieting enough
-More separation from local friends. Looking forward to graduation.
The one exception with all those negatives is getting closer with my amazing girlfriend. I might actually be able to visit her in 2013. Hoping that is a goal.
Dennis Leary playing a no-nonsense Irish cop.
Started monthly board game nights.
Met lots of additional friends.
Learned technical terms for things about myself.
Escaped relatively unharmed.
I'm hoping 2013 will be Year of Stuff Paying Off.
Leeds Rhinos winning another title
Getting the roleplaying group back up and running after a long break (although we did play board games instead so hardly a bad thing)
Oh and I became an uncle, oh that should be the highlight really but I went to the Olympics!
