Has 2012 been good or bad year for you?

Pretty average. Nothing extraordinary really, my work at the magazine just got more extensive as one of the guys who was there quit so now I get to do a lot of the stuff he did. We lost an uncle a month ago but he was supposed to be dead since april, so we had time to be prepared. I think I can't complain.
 
Much better than last year. I don't really wanna go into much detail, but 2011 was by far the worst year of my life. This year isn't great but it's at least getting better! :)
 
The only highlight of 2012 was moving out of a neighborhood that degraded into a white trash haven. Otherwise, it's been the same 🤬 for the last few years.
 
It's been developmental.

Broke up with my long-term partner.
Got a job 70 miles away from home.
The company collapsed.
Came home.
Passed my Masters Degree.
Got a new job last week.

I think all things considered, 2012 has been kind to me.
 
It's been good.

At the end of 2011 I got out of a relationship that had taken a rather unhealthy turn. So during 2012 I was able to catch up with old friends that I'd not properly talked to for a long time and make new friends that I would not have been able to when I was in my relationship. I've been to a lot of music events and gained some incredible memories from these along with interesting experiences at Reading festival. All I can say is that waking up half naked unaware of how I got into my tent was a bit worrying.

I've applied to university too and had a few offers back so far so that has put a positive end to the year for me despite the imminent exams that I'm far from being prepared for.

2012 has been a big improvement, I just hope 2013 continues this upward trend.
 
Been... almost like 2011.

Good:

~Still in a 3 year relationship with the girlfriend
~Scored well on the SAT's (took them Dec. 1st)
~Got the finals done and damn near perfectly
~Got a PS3 in mid-May

Bad:

~Many of my friends are going through tough times in their lives, and while I'm always there to support them... it does rub off slightly.
~The fanfic didn't get done (at least the 3rd volume.)
~The Packers-Seahawks game, Golden Tate and Pete Carroll being absolute 🤬
 
Been one of the best years of my life Id say.

After 2 hard, struggling years I finally had a "fun" year. Plenty of parties, travel, friends, pool, motorbike riding and enough spare cash to enjoy myself when I feel like it.

Hoping to build on this and have a solid 2013.
 
Still single and didn't win the lottery, so I suppose 2012 was a bad year. Hehe! :D

No seriously, it was nothing special; "same old, same old.
Still 9 days to go, so it ain't over untill it's over. Anything can still happen.

True. Maybe lying in the field one night . . . looking up at the stars . . anything could pop up. And as you say, kind of hard to answer because there's still time to go for 2012.

As for being single, kikie . . . enjoy it while you have it. I can't see you being single forever - maybe you just don't approach anybody. Or give them the vibe that you like them.

As for me - I promised to be here on the 22nd - how time does fly.

Well so far so good - business doubled this year - in fact refused some contracts towards the end of the year. Time versus money, and time won - since I can always make money - but time isn't a renewable resource - and certain times cannot be brought back - for any love of money.
Employed more P/Ts this year - so was happy to see money go into people's hands.

Boys are doing really well in school - amazing grades - healthy as horses - and behaving like them, too. Growing taller than me - so harder to discipline them while looking up - instead of down - :scared:

Pet hamster died finally - so some grieving by my youngest - which, since I have the empathy of a damn plant, affected me, too. Ripple effect maybe.

Oldsmobile was fine all year - no major problems - but I lost my Lincoln, my baby, my lovely lady of immense power and comfort, and that was a bit of a downer. Still missing it. :(

Health stayed the same - not a single visit to a doctor - though this year was a 'smoking' year, and I did feel a bit of the effects - as in - running up five flights of stairs actually made me breathe hard. Stopped again a couple of weeks ago - and already feel better.

Friends stayed the same - though may have picked up dozens more. I'm sort of the George Bailey in my community - so I have more friends than money, and that's okay by me.

Still somber thinking about the parents that lost their children at Newtown - and how they would feel on Christmas day missing their children and looking at unopened presents. More respect for the teachers at my kid's school - and I look at them now as potential heroes - not only as the friends they've become.

Starting to gather up a huge amount of stuff that has cluttered my life - and getting ready to stow them away this end of year - and start a more simplified existence in 2013.. . .

Hm. What else? Well that's about it for now. As kikie said . . . still some time left.
 
The way 2012 turned out started in November 2011 when I suffered an ankle injury at work. It turned out to be more severe than initially expected and I have spent almost all of 2012 stuck indoors in a 3rd floor flat crying in agony. 2 surgeries later and I am now finally on the mend. In fact this week I have started to wean myself down to just one crutch...

So 2012 sucked beyond the telling of it and I can only hope that 2013 will be so much better... I really need to get the wheel and pedals out again as my digital cars have been gathering far too much dust!
 
Good
-Still in my one year relationship!
-Got to go Karting numerous times.
-Made some new friends!
-Got to Beta test the CSR Elite wheel from Fanatec (Okay, more like 2011, but it was mostly 2012! I think...)
-Family is in good health
-Got to see family again
-Went through 8th grade with flying colors
-Football team won state! Great season to be in the band!

Bad
-9th grade didn't start off perfectly in the grade department
-Had a rough patch with my girlfriend over the summer
-Had a horrid case of the flu in February! Fever of 106 is not a good time to start off the year
-Went away from GTP for a while, don't know why, just become a lurker...

Overall, it's been an amazing year, hopefully next year will be the same!
 
My memory is pretty poor, but 2012 was the year I:

- finished BTEC level 2 Electronic Engineering (which is pretty much only good for starting level 3) with a Distinction +

- started BTEC level 3 EE

- bought a G27 and built myself a triple monitor racing cockpit

- broke up with my girlfriend of three years

- had tonsillitis several times and then a tonsillectomy

- got back together with my girlfriend of three years

- discovered Netflix

- had Iranian food for dinner tonight.

That's all I remember. Between college and tonsillitis I didn't really do much, my summer was spent in bed. All in all a fairly average year but my prospects for the future are looking up, so it hasn't been a waste of time.
 
2012 was overall a good year for me. I completed my studies and graduated from University, finished a very successful Formula SAE season, started full time work, and took an awesome 2 month trip to Europe, which had to be one of the best experiences of my life so far. I also found a good group of car buddies and met good people and some new friends.
 
2012 Has been great for me, it has been my first year driving and my last year of high school. There have been some difficulties here and there, but I am seriously happy with how my life is right now.
 
Not bad but not great either. Would have been a lot worse had I not taken control of the little things that make the bigger things more bearable.

Looking for a lot of personal development in 2013 to set up for some big changes in 2014.
 
Rather poor year all things considered. So-so birthday in March, many friends rarely even acknowledged it. Decent raise in my last job in April that was quickly cut short by surgery on my lung, to this very day, I don't think I ever needed. Entered into a relationship afterwards that became nothing but a stressful, long-term relationship that ended in a break up after the summer.

It got better once I started my current job, but I quickly went into depression afterwards constantly thinking about the ex. & the people I had called friends, amongst figuring out to pay for thousands & thousands of dollars worth of medical bills. A very special ex co-worker picked me up & to this day, remains my saving grace and a close friend. Lately though, despite the perks of the new job showing, I've been on the edge of dropping back into depression as I realize the few people who came to help me months ago come back the first time around, have only reverted back to the same ways they were before.

Hopefully, New Years will end the year on a good note & will be spending 2013 looking out for myself & the people who've proven they have my best interests in mind, not the people who pretend & waste my time.
 
Well to finish it off, christmas with the family cancelled due to 3 of us coming down with a stomach bug, spent the last 12 hours or so in the bathroom. Bahhh, ahh well bring on 2013.
 
I reckon it's been one of the best, save for a rather forgetful birthday perhaps.

Started a Diploma course in Graphic Design, bought a new car (which I adore), found my beautiful girlfriend (whom I also adore, 6 amazing months together in 2 weeks time :D), won competitions, revisited old friends and made a whole heap of new ones.

Bring on 2013, it's going to have to be a cracker to compete :)
 
This year has been great for me! Seen a lot of DJs that I never thought I'd see so soon after my 18th and got myself a girlfriend. Hope 2013 is just as good :)
 
Danoff
Yup. Very good year. Moved to Colorado, wife got a better job, became a father.

Congratulations! Welcome to the road to fatherhood...it isn't going to be nicely paved much longer, though.
 
On the whole, pretty good. Didn't get a girlfriend, but otherwise I don't have many complaints.

Let's see what 2013 brings to the table. :mischievous:
 
2012 was OK for me; well the second half was.
The first half up until about August was horrible. I felt isolated in school; I had very few friends outside of school, and the friends in school felt fake; I was feeling depressed.
However my second half of 2012 was the best (part of) year I can remember. I gained a whole new social group; my rugby team started to play well (some reason this gave me a huge boost); I left behind my old 'friends' which gave a huge confidence boost; and I had two brilliant holidays.

Lets see what 2013 brings.
 
A year of heaven and hell. Amazing trip to france in march, got closer than ever to many friends, and later on in year we all ended up mistakenly stabbing each other in the back. Most have been forgiven, one or two not, but I am on a high note for 2013 :cheers:
