Default Best Year of Your Life?

Well, this is a bit different than a year in review thread.

It seems the general opinion is that 2005 was a pretty bland year overall.

So it got me to think which was my favorite year since birth.
I mean technically doesn't have to be.. but makes sense.

I could narrow it down to two years.

First one up is 1985

Lets see
-I was born that year so it gets bonus points.
-The release of the NES in America
-The first WrestleMania which took place two days before my birth. In my hometown.
-The song 1985.. eh

And then there is 1992

-One of the best Royal Rumble matches ever. Yes wrestling made it on both years.
-Year Aladdin was released. Favorite animated movie of all time.
-Year Batman Returns was released. Favorite movie of all time.
-Year i got my Sega Genesis, which was my first console. My bros and I had NES and Super NES but either one of my older bros or had to share. Genesis was all mines. and got it along with Batman Returns.

So what are your top years.

85-98 were all very good. 99-03 were beyond hell. 04-05 ive been much more productive and a LOT happier (still not 'happy', but WAY happier).

I still have to give the 'early years' the nod...even though ive overcome quite a bit in 04-05

I'm going to have to say 2005 has been the best year of my life. Early on this year I did a complete personality make-over, and I have been a better person ever since. I am now confident, optomistic, charming, and I generally have a very positive outlook on life. Plus, I turned 18 this year, which was cool, and I got a PSP, and, most importanly, a girlfriend that is absolutely precious.

Other good years:
1998 - Well, I was in fifth grade at this time. It was the last year of elementary school. This was the last year I was friends with the best friend of my childhood. We grew apart since then. Not to mention these were the years of Pokemon and Zelda: OoT. My friends and I were addicted to these games. I still hold the honor of being the first one in my class to finish OoT.

1999 - Got a computer. Been addicted to the internet ever since that fateful Christmas morning.

2004 - Bittersweet year. I had my first girlfriend and my first break up. No real loss, but it hurt at the time. My best friends in high school graduated, but I am thankful for the two years I had with them, including most of this year.

2005.

even though '91 was the year I was born, 2005 takes the cake.

In the beginning of the year I was awaiting my Washington DC trip, which soon took place in April {April 24th to be exact}, and that trip was the most eventful and the most fun i'll probably ever have as a kid, being able to hang with friends and stuff. later on in mid June {June 14th to be exact} I ended my last year in middle school. then in late August {August 29th to be exact} I started high school, beginning one of the final chapters of my education, and starting to become a man.

so 2005 was like a kick ass year, it'll go down in my books as one of the best, IF NOT the best, pending upon the future of course.

2005

Some things that happened last year were~~~

-Got My First Job
-Got My Drivers Lisence
-Went to Hawaii
-Did pretty damn well in school (top 2%, highest history scores, and one of the highest SAT scores)
-Got a great girlfriend
-Had a GREAT summer (pool partys, BBQs, sports)


I have a feeling this year will be just as good or even better than the last though. In my case, I always have the final say in how much I enjoy myself.
