I promise not to get sentimental as I go over the events that happened this year.
In fact I wont.
Because a lot of bad things have happened, (such as wars and those who died in them) and then a lot of boring things happened (such as school and the Olympics) and not much else happened.
However I will say that Britain had its wettest year in recorded history.
...And Mcdogface has not said much on this blog this year.
Um...
This was the year I discovered and became obsessed with Romantically Apocalyptic, and this was the year that I had a truly awesome Christmas. I'm halfway through my GCSEs, going to resit some of them in January, and I think 2013 will be a lot like 2012, although I only have one calender (in 2012 I had three) and there wont be a huge doomsday prediction.
That's it really.
See you guys in 2013!

12 12 12
Surprisingly the day with the most awesome date ever was not that different from any other day.
We now need to wait 89 years until we have a year with all the numbers the same again. For our generation it was an annual occurrence, but for the next group of humans they may never experience it.
When I'm older I shall turn to my friends and ask "Remember when every year all the numbers were sometimes the same?" and they'd nod and say "Yeah, before 2013 right?"
Ah well.
Twelve is my lucky number. Here are some facts about the number Twelve:
-While twelve means a dozen, a baker's dozen is in fact thirteen. This leaves a chance for error when baking, so if one of the loafs gets burned then they are still selling twelve loafs.
-Magnesium, a metal used frequently in chemistry lessons, has the atomic number 12.
-A dozen dozens is a gross.
-A system of counting with dozens rather than tens is called a dozenal system rather than a decimal system.
-A group of twelve things is called a duodecad. The ordinal adjective is duodenary, twelfth. The adjective referring to a group consisting of twelve things is duodecuple.
Some places where the number twelve can be found:
THE CALENDER
Twelve months
Twelve Zodiac Signs
THE BIBLE
12 apostles
12 sons of Jacob
12 tribes formed after Moses left Egypt
And um... Somewhere else? Most alphebets have 24 letters, and half of 24 is 12.
Let's face it, twelve is a cool number.
Happy twelfth of the twelfth oh twelve!
