For your reading pleasure, I present to you my year in review. As if you really needed to know care about any of this.

I think that's a good review for today. Based on the number of times I have almost died this year, it looks like I should be glad to be alive. Also, based on how much I've spent at Starbucks, I should really try to curtail that habit. Damn Starbucks and their crack-laced lattes! *shakes fist*
