MAN THIS DAY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE SUDDENLY
well its too late to whine better review time.
January: The year started off comically as the first post was PTE's death. Right after was a troll post, me deciding whether to lighten my course load, a SOPA protest thing, PTE's untimely rebirth, another troll post, then a real post finally which was mainly feeling backwards and the beginning of thinking about Jennys Quiz again, and another one stressing about February and school.
February: Work on JQ led to no work on JQ. Stress levels rose again as school flared up with assignments. Post quality remained normal. And by normal I mean terrible. I tried a poll thing to see what exactly people liked/didn't like about PTE. Flew home to New City to ski and stuff. Called PTE a cafe-chan clone, created Riccionic Improved Communications Enterprise after realizing my own social ineptitude, attempted comics for PTE, more crap about JQ, and a random post on the 29th since 2012 was a leap year.
March: March was a very interesting month. The continuation of the New City-Hometown debate flared up again, Internetwork Day was celebrated, a terrible essay led to hilariously high stress, and JQ being pushed along slowly and grudgingly.
Alright when I said interesting I meant kinda bad.
April: The tides pulling me to New City shifted. JQ was still delayed as always. Job searching became a thing, as an opportune way to stay in Hometown. PTE polls closed, PTE was then fixed.
And by fixed I mean what you see of PTE now is result of the Poll which took out the bad and left in the not so bad. Then year 1 officially ended, and I contemplated dying my hair neon green.
Also I had my Birthday this month as well as a special someone else. The 24th was an especially important and special date.
May: JQ managed to -actually- and -finally- get COMPLETED on the 30th of April. Final tests occured to try to bump out errors and glitches. Drills was created this month, as a response to "HEY GUISE I GOT A JOB IM THE BEST" attitudes which had led to frustrations as the job search was going nowhere for me. Drills seeked to be an entity which was meant for me to ignore everything and keep trying. No job meant No Hometown.
Then I had some friday night where I actually had fun. Like drinking and partying with friends and stuff I dont get to do. Then JQ was officially released, which ended up being decent rated, enough so to inspire the next Jenny game to get planned. (and a blog made for Ric-Olzow projects, known as "ITS A TRAIN WRECK", which is meant as a play on PTE being that PTE is a train and the new Blog being PTE crashing) (Also the new Jenny game is project ADOH, if you're curious you can read about it HERE)
Continuing on, Job issues rose exponentially and so did stress as job searching continued to be moot. Lots of biking was had and many biking objectives were accomplished in lieu of the job searching failing. Business Penguin hit the scene with the announcement of a third episode (which ended up being unfinished at this point due to lack of drive to finish it) and a new song came out which was the first song since 2011. Productivity was high despite morale being low.
June: By fluke and stars in the universe, a 4 year goal of going to a carnival I had missed over the years had finally come into fruition, and it became a very memorable day. (See: fireworks LOL no but seriously it was magical)
Then I fished successfully!
Then hell broke loose.
No seriously. Like hell broke loose a lot during 2012 but that bit in June was the storm. From upset parents to a nearly lost job to feeling helpless and depressed made that bit in June the highlight of the bads. Though I might be spitballing and find a worse part of 2012 but from my memory that was the harshest bit.
After that came the "LETS BUILD AN EMPIRE" initiative (which is still going, its the still current slogan of Ric-Olzow) which led to the "ITS A TRAIN WRECK" blog and project ADOH being concieved.
July: My parents came to visit from New City, Celebrated 4th of July, and things smoothed out as I got a job (the first job ever had by me) and managed to sort things out to be able to stay in Hometown for at least another year.
Then started the new job which occured very classic Riccy style, lots of failure and feeling like a dingbat. Also another troll post that month which showed stress levels were not too bad.
Then PTE posting seemed impossible, then my sister moved out and I overtook her old room (leading to a troll post where I said I was moving, looking back on it was a low blow, sorry guise :< )
August: I had created many blogs this month, including the infamous "Winnippeggers" blog feeaturing comics I made in New City about my characters. The comics are extremely silly and non-sensical, and have been attributed to a "Creative depression" (which has led me to withhold work on them)
Then another troll post (a rehash of a rehash also what if zelda was a girl) and Snowfire fell into an endless recursion of time. (534593405834th loop btw)
Then PTE got fixed up and I worked like crazy.
8 Days straight remains my record, which comparitively is actually very small time.
I AM A CASUAL
September: Due to the mass workload, September just kinda came out of nowhere. KINDA LIKE TODAY okay anyway.
The month began with Semester 1 of year 2 starting, and with the return of a long past Ric-Olzow thing, the "Tank Watch" (which broke again two months later, its still MIA now)
Then began my SimCity Social addiction, as well as the workload level of school/work becoming apparent. Also began the PTE tease of dont tell kaitlin k.
Which never works but I try anyway.
BECAUSE HERE AT PTE TRYING IS WHAT WE DO BEST. CHEVY.
BUY TRUCKS
OKAY IM GETTING BACK TO THE POST.
So then I got Twitter and Tumbler and which I use twitter for reading and tumbler for collecting dust.
Then I started another comic project which fell apart after first post.
and school work etc. etc. new song it was very productive period again.
Like I've said before, my productivity seems to boom and bust.
October: Began with another (RARE) drunken excursion which led me high and dry with no backpack thanks to my drunken decisions.
Stress levels began to rise again, as well as frustrations over the next Ric-Olzow/Jenny game.
Testing and playing with codes occured, and the Riccy Rules became "Finished".
Which later led to them being indefinitely unfinished.
WELCOME TO PTE, LEAVE YOUR SENSE AT THE DOOR.
Alright thats the slogan now.
ANYWAY
then I broke 3k for favourite Youtube videos on my Zeekydude account. (which was nothing special just entertaining, I've been adding to that list since 2009)
Then Trolling occured as usual.
Then things were sucky because stress.
Then another random post which got me trolled. (like 8 comments worth or something)
Then Riccy rules got its own page and remains as it is now, indefinitely unfinished as new rules can always now be added.
Then work slammed me as I became broke-ish. Money flies away easy in Hometown.
November: The month began comically again as I managed to get myself in trouble at work for doing one of many tasks that are part of my job. Thus I learned about exception clauses and a bit more about how to deal with people. (that being said I'm still kinda bad at it cuz I'm shy and quiet still even after RICE and all the other initiatives its hard to fight your own personality gah)
Then the NOVEMBER RECOVERY WEEK SLAM JAM occured.
Then I had the first "FREE" day since august, where there was no work or school.
Which means September and october everyday was spent either at work or school.
Feels badminton.
Then PTE was turned purple and made to look as if someone hacked it, as part of a hype joke for project ADOH. (Let's blame snowfire anyway because we know she would've.
and has.
...
ANYWAY)
Then Amy Day came, PTE was left purple (ITS NICE OKAY), another slam week hit, assignments piled up, stress levels rose, and my marks began wilting.
AND THEN ASSIGNMENTS WERE DONE AND THEN SUDDENLY IT WAS
December: December began with a random bread obsession which got stopped when stomach issues occured due to mass amounts of bread consumed. OOPS LOL
Then Semester 1 finished, the first of 2 exams flew by (the loooooong marketing exam, which reminds me, brb checkin mark)
Then 12/12/12 12:12:12 occured and PTE got 12'd.
Then the apocalypse happened and PTE ended and the world ended and the mayans were right and I became famous and a millionaire and my parents moved back and my sister became normal and trixie was no longer a noob and tell kaitlin k and the endless recursion of time stopped and
okay none of that happened and PTE lived. SORRY TO CRUSH YOUR DREAMS
After that I went back to New City for a visit, where I enjoyed a rather stress free week.
Then returned back to Hometown, where end of year parties were had.
BUT AS THINGS STAND, heres some mentions to add that PTE didnt have:
- the New City-Hometown debate flared up in November/December as stress levels have continuously hit new levels and floundering about 2013 has occured.
-Year 3 is ??? as what is happening is unknown, both parents are telling me to come home and sort things out.
-Project ADOH is in standstill as the stress and lack of time have halted attempts at work.
-Same goes for an intro I'm working on
2013 has been set to be an interesting year as many things have yet to be truly resolved.
What do you hope for 2013?
