Running down to the White House to go nuts with my friends and classmates for a few hours, when we all found out that Osama bin Laden, our generation's own boogie man, was dead. During finals week.

I love going to school in DC.

I'll reverse that trend.

Worst moment: When I lost my best friend near the beginning of the year.
Best moment: When we reconciled near the end of the year.

Well apparently everyone wanted to share their worst moments as well..

I didn't really have one. Maybe waiting for my letter to come, I was so nervous/anxious, it was the only school I really wanted to go to and all of the others were not even a close second.

My first anniversary we went to Hawaii for a week.

The Happiest moment of 2011 was when it finally ended .

Getting a job in April after 2 years of searching.

Any day I was drunk with my friends.

The rest pretty much svcked.

There are a ton of best moments of 2011 for me, sorry hard to choose. One was actually getting through all of the screenings and actually having the opportunity to enlist in the Air Force (saw a lot of people around me get disqualified along the way, and with budget cuts and such it's only going to get harder to make it...So glad I did).

In week 4 of training getting my last name and "U.S. Air Force" sewn onto my uniforms, pretty great feeling.

In week 6 after completing BEAST having my MTI hand me my dog tags during a ceremony in which a huge American flag was lowered to Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" (and my team won BEAST which was also cool).

Running the airman's run where all of the graduating flights run to jodies and run toward an area where the sides of the streets are absolutely packed with people cheering and screaming, knowing my girlfriend was in that crowd who I hadn't seen in 8.5 weeks, but knowing I couldn't look around because we were running in formation.

At the coin ceremony having my MTI hand me my Airman's coin to "God Bless the USA" and thousands of family members watching.

Lastly, at parade the next day, marching down the bomb run where every United States airman has marched.

Good times, loved every moment of it.

December 31st, 11:59:59. Best second of that year.

I can't remeber.....probably Skyrim?

I love brownies they're delicious.

Yes, this.

And the day I got Skyrim. And the day I got new headphones, and later my sound card.

I'm sure there's more. I've been generally happy this year, when I'm not stressing out, so not a lot stands out.

Mine would be first kiss

Too inappropriate for the forum.

Scratch that. November 11th, 8:53 am (yes, I remember). Don't know how I forgot about Skyrim...

The first time I dressed my bretoness in Forsworn armor...

That sounds a little creepy... only a little.

Best moment: Bruins win game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Worst moment: Going to Afghanistan and missing the Stanley Cup finals.
Worst Moment (Honorable Mention): Getting dumped via Facebook message.

That last one would be okay if you were dating the Internet.

Happiest:
Beginning to learn how to snowboard
Getting Skyrim
Learning who The Mars Volta are, and hearing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OnFKTNC77I song for the first time

Check out At the Drive-In, too. Totally different sound, but both of the staples of Mars Volta were in it.

At the Drive-In reunion has been my happiest moment of 2012
That's how I got into TMV, found out what Cedric and Omar did after ATD-I

Now a reunion is something I didn't know about. Good start to the year. I wonder if any albums will come out of it, or just tours.

I'd imagine just tours, they've all got other projects with albums coming out soon. They're playing Coachella for their first show. http://atdimusic.com/

Not to go completely off topic, here's a couple moments where I felt quite proud.
Learning my first song on Bass. And my second.
Receiving my exam results.

When I was able to graduate high school a semester early after that though 2011 went downhill for me.

My happiest moment of this past year was winning a free copy of Skyrim!
(honorable mentions: The A&G Ohio convention, The release of the Yes album Fly From Here, and Dia Frampton and James Durbin appearing on The Voice & American Idol respectively.)

Saddest moment: Getting my feelings crushed on Valentine's Day by this cosplayer girl named Becki that I used to really like...when I was only trying to cheer her up and be a friend to her.
(dis-honorable mentions: witnessing Boston Rob Mariano winning Survivor, and Lights getting engaged and putting out the disappointing sophomore album Siberia)

Tim (aka the Slipperman)

Done a lot of things to cheer me up this year. Started to hang out with my friends more, got myself a new screen and the CE of Skyrim, started attending gaming nights at the local games center (like card games and such) but the happiest moment of 2011 was probably getting involved with MLP:FiM over all.

Would probably have been a great year now that I think about it if I hadn't been feeling so down somehow but after quitting college I'm starting to cheer up more again (don't get me wrong, education is important, but when you have no idea or direction in what you want to do, basically no desire at all to study, then it won't get you far, taking a break until I have a clearer idea of what kind of education I actually want to take, it has just felt like a waste of time lately, even where I actually bothered to study so that I would pass the classes I choose to pass) so if we are also mentioning worst part of 2011 I say not quitting college earlier. (going back to college in 2013 or 2014 but right now I've just had enough of being a leech on my parents, time to work myself off their backs)
