2012 was not exactly the year of Valerie Armstrong. That’s not to say it didn’t have its awesome moments, but it was a year that has seen more humiliation than any other (post-high school, of course). So, in an effort to make 2013 an improvement, let’s go through what made this year so…interesting.
1. I’ve cried at every Ask Amy. Without fail. Every pot has a lid? What are you trying to do to me, Amy Poehler?!
2. I still have a Blackberry, and a first generation one at that. One of the coolest things I got to do this year was meet Jeff Winger–I mean Joel McHale. I took a picture with him. He, too, made fun of my phone.
3. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve gone through every season of Parks and Recreation. They’re all on Netflix and have Adam Scott. What did you expect?
4. I was pick pocketed at my local grocery store. Joke’s on them–have fun with that $0 of mine that’s now available to you. Well, joke’s on me a little bit, too.
5. On an interview, I accidentally revealed just how many movies I watch (at the time, it was 4 in the last 24 hours). Interviewer was more concerned than impressed.
6. I read Atlas Shrugged. That bitch is crazy.
7. I invented a new cookie that everyone else thought was “too much for them.” Cookie dough, layer of marshmallow and sprinkles, more cookie dough, sprinkles on top. BAM. I could eat four of them in 5 minutes (and have).
8. I somehow watched ER beginning to end. All 15 seasons.
9. I got drunk with my friends and wound up in Vegas the next morning. Only to remember that I don’t gamble and Las Vegas scares me to death.
10. I watched the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy in one day. Extended editions. And I made a cake for the occasion.
