This is my 12th New Year's ever since I joined RF. This community and the forum in general have been features of my life through thick and thin, and the last year was no exception.
• I earned my first paycheck.
• I made new friends both offline and online, including on this forum.
• I stole @Audie's bike but couldn't get away from her bodyguards.
• I plotted to make @Rachel Rugelach an RF addict, but she increased my forum addiction instead thanks to her insightful, good-natured posts.
• I was confused when @Quagmire referred to me as "Naykid," but I was flattered to be mistaken for Naykid when I saw how dashing of a monkey he was.
• I expanded my vocabulary by reading @Jayhawker Soule's posts, even when he wasn't paying attention (usually when he was yawning or ignoring everyone).
• I begged @JustGeorge to let me pet one of her cats, but she taught me how to trap one instead.
• I borrowed @SalixIncendium's socks, which were so fancy that I mistook them for mittens. He's still offended at this unforgivable fashion faux pas.
• I tried to converse in Latin with @Rival and @Vouthon but accidentally summoned a demon instead. I have yet to get rid of it.
• I was the only person in the audience for @Father Heathen's TED talk about semi-truck trivia. Thankfully, my applause was loud enough to make up for the empty seats.
• I sent @Revoltingest a hammer-and-sickle banner and referred to him as "comrade" in my letter. I haven't heard back from him, but I smell some burning canvas.
Happy New Year, RF! I'm deeply thankful to be a part of this community and to have helped to maintain the forum for so long.
