What better way to start 2012 than by looking at superlatives for 2011? As I mentioned in last year’s collection of end of year lists, I love these things. It’s no secret that I love lists in general, but I especially enjoy seeing the whole year wrapped up at once. I think these lists are fairly self-explanatory, so I’ll spare you the majority of my commentary. Enjoy!

That video is really neat! Although, I think they could show any lines of text with that music and it would make me tear up. Happy new year!!
