Trying to get in touch with him after may have been even worse, if there's any silver lining it's that one. Sorry for your loss, very poor timing. And for everyone's losses, seeing a lot of that in 2012.

Best: getting employment that took us out of our comfort zone to do something new and interesting with tons and loads of new people
Worst: I didn't get my iPhone, iPad, and iPad Mini for Christmas like I so wanted. Or more politely and sincerely: death, war, hunger, and general misery. Personally, the year was fine.

Highs - It's been a really dull year for me actually... The last couple of months though I've found myself in my creative stride and I'm creating some great work... next step is to actually show it to people.

Lows - General dealing with my anxieties, trying to battle them with the knowledge that it's holding me down and just failing every time.
