Not sure how well I'll do on this, since I only have a little over four months to go until the end of the year, but what the hell, might as well give it a shot anyway. ^_^

Edit: I didn't think of doing this retroactively until somebody pointed that out. So, I might have a pretty good chance now. Yays!

I probably should've thought of that myself. Thanks for doing it for me instead. XD
