As 2013 draws to a close I decided to round up my favorite posts of the year. It was going to be 10 but I’m apparently a HUGE fan of my own work because it ended up being my 15 favorite posts of 2013 listed chronologically (because I couldn’t handle ranking things). I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it- it’s been a hell of a year.*
