Playback 2011.

You people.

Yes, you. No, I'm not just talking about the people who have blogs. I'm talking about EVERYONE. And no, I am seriously not trying to make fun of anyone. You should know me by now. I'm not a mean person. I just think that, since everyone is doing these month-by-month recaps... I should NOT do one. Does that make sense?

It's sort of hilarious really.

Everyone knows EXACTLY where January 1st is located on the calendar. But for some unknown reason, everyone acts completely surprised like 3 days before New Years. Even if they've been counting down since like... the day their mother was born.

They're still like, "OH MY GOSH, NEW YEARS IS IN LIKE ONE DAY. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHY AM I READING THIS IN SUCH A LOUD VOLUME IN MY HEAD? EVEN THOUGH SHE POINTED IT OUT, IT'S ALL STILL SO LOUD IN MY HEAD. OH MY GOSH. I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT IT'S ALMOST 2012. Wait, no I didn't."

And then here's the kicker, suddenly everyone wants to recap EVERYTHING that happened... since like January 1st. Even if it's things they swore that they wanted to forget or that they would try their very best to forget... they bring it back up. It's all a part of starting the new year off "right". I've even had face-to-face conversations with people who clearly state, "Hmm... the most embarrassing moment of 2011 that I wanted to completely forget was _____________." It's like: Oh, here. Let me tell you the ENTIRE STORY so that you'll know. Because obviously you'll forget once it's officially 2012. Everyone know that people's memories get wiped at the start of every year.

It's 2:05 A.M. and I can't sleep. AT ALL. So my mind is a tad bit more fried than usual. It's a good thing I'm not stressed out at all! Man, I'm so glad that I have the energy to be completely, 100% wide-awake at TWO IN THE MORNING and BLOG ABOUT IT. Can you feel the sarcasm, Em?

.....

Anyways.

Here's my official New Year post:

January/February/March/April/May/June/July/August/September/October/December:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

YES, this photo has absolutely nothing to do with New Years. BUT, if you did NOT laugh or at least smile at that... you need to learn to loosen up a bit. Like seriously. It's 2 in the morning, I just got done watching like 4 sad movies today, and I've seen that picture before -- and I STILL think it's amusing.

Scroll up and look at it again.

No, seriously. Look at it again. It'll take you like two seconds to scroll back up.

Hehehe.

Instead of posting a month-by-month detailed post, I've decided to post that picture instead. Why? Because that's the type of person I am. Yes, I'm sentimental. But I know that I couldn't possibly do this past year the justice of writing about it all. I've had some amazing memories and some... not so great ones. But haven't we all? I'm NOT going to recap drama. I'm NOT going to talk about the things that pissed me off. I'm also NOT going to try to talk about the fun times. Why? There's no point. If I can look back on the up's of this year (that outnumber the bad times) and smile, I don't see the need to share every detail. I can't possibly relay what the wonderful times were like from my perspective, and I'm not going to make the memory less awesome in my mind by trying to type it all out. Plus, you probably don't care about every little story anyways. C'mon. Let's be real.

LET ME PAUSE to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading other people's posts though. They're adorable and touched my heart. Sincerely. Don't let this post make you think that I didn't enjoy them. I just wanted to be different. That's all. PLUS, I'd probably go insane if I went on Facebook and scrolled all the way down to freaking January -- just to write a blogpost. You have so much patience and dedication and time - and I respect that. Or if you're like Kayla, you just have nothing better to do. (Yes, Kayla. I'm making fun of you. On the internet. On my blog that I know for a fact several people -- including you -- read.)

So, I skipped November up there earlier. Don't believe me? Go check.

If you actually looked, I'm ashamed. Have some faith in me, eh?

Since I skipped it, here it is.

November:

1. My birthday (which was 11/11/2011). I actually didn't even make a wish on 11:11 P.M. Why? Because I know God has a plan. And I had my family and friends and every else that I needed. ... and because I started to get super paranoid that if I made a MAJOR wish, it would actually come true. But like all screwed up. Like Final Destination or whatever. Anyways, just focus on the God part. I didn't make a wish because I had Jesus. That sounds better, right? Right? ...

2. Thanksgiving. Traditions die hard. And so does your body. If you eat food and watch movies for 8 hours with your older sister like you do every year. In a dark room. That you never leave. Just... yeah.

3. I applied to my first college! Don't laugh, that's mean.

4. ...Veteran's Day?

5. Um... um... ummmm.... yay November?.....

6. Oh, the fall play happened! Where I got one of the main roles... who was an idiot. Yeah. I could delete number 5 and put this there. But I won't. Because I'm lazy. Even though actually by explaining that I'm lazy, I typed more. And put in more effort. I'm still doing it. ....

7. I'm running out of things, so I'll just post some funny pictures. Okay? Cool.

So, there. If you're still reading... I've successfully wasted your time, and I hope you have a lovely Happy New Year! And just because it's 2012 doesn't mean that you'll completely disregard/forget about 2011. Also, I'm not making New Year resolutions. Actually, none that I'm going to openly declare. C'mon on. I'm not THAT dedicated to the new year that bring a fresh start and loads of potential. It's not like the beginning of the year is an opportune time to do these things and start over ..... wait a second --

Tell me you love me? Please?

-Bee.

P.s. IT IS NOW 3:05 A.M.
