I started keeping a diary on October 26th, 1997. I was 14 and in 9th grade. I kept up until 2004, and every year, I made a ‚personal soundtrack‘ with songs that reflected last years‘ themes and storylines.

Here are 20 songs for ‚Season 16‘, October 2012 to October 2013.

• 01: 1997 / 1998
• 02: 1998 / 1999
• 03: 1999 / 2000
• 04: 2000 / 2001
• 05: 2001 / 2002

• 14: 2010 / 2011
