I can't say it's the greatest year because there's been many ups and downs for me this year personally but it's been a significant one, indeed.

I'll just focus on the positive things like traveling to see Pearl Jam(the greatest band in the world) for the first time in my life. Also traveling up to Canada for the first time seeing Eddie solo. I'm also heading over to my "motherland" for the first time in my life, it'll definitely be a cultural shock for me. :D

And now, Barack Obama is the new President.

i'm just soooooo HAPPY!!!
I DON'T WANT THIS YEAR TO END!

!!!!!Thanks for the memories!!!!

    WOW there are a lot of parallels for us this year....
    It's my most 'memorable" year as well, not the greatest.
    traveled to see PJ at 9 shows
    traveled alone for the first time to see ED in Canada (*first time there)
    divorce :(
    living on my own
    making it through hardships ALIVE
    seeing Barack OBAMA elected President!!
    having my vote count for once;) (*actually it really did...my county was mentioned on CNN as one of the Philadelphia suburban counties that helped to determine the state:):))

    For all that has happened...I will NEVER forget this year!

    Yeah somewhat similar, just different settings and situations but we both are looking forward to a brighter future. But it’ll only get better if we act on it. It's great that Pearl Jam's been able to ease some of the stress away. :)

    Ms. B, I wish you all the best and CHEERS to one Hell of a year!!!! :D

    First year of university - and it looks like I can handle it.
    Flew to NYC for two nights of Pearl Jam - kicked ass.
    Saw EV both nights at Massey Hall - big thanks to a forum member who sold me his extra for night two at face value!
    Obama just won - I'm proud to be half-American now.
    Even more importantly - NO MORE BU**SH**! Finally, a president I can bear to listen to.
    Got a new Fender Telecaster, and a Guild Jumbo-Body 12-string. Oh yeah :)
    Going to Costa Rica for a vacation in a few months.
    Friends and family are safe.
    Living and loving life day in and day out.
