You're in New Zealand, so you'll see it before the rest of us, so you'll have to let us know what happens!

Back in high school I remember telling people that if I ever got caught in a school shooting, I wanted to grab someone and lose my virginity - I wasn't about to die sexually inexperienced!
...that's terrible, now that I'm thinking back on it. sheesh

That date has passed according to the mayan calander. The mayans didn't account for leap years, so in the mayan calendar we're somewhere in July 2013 I think. And the world didn't end on their version of 21st Dec 2012 because we're still here.
Actually the Mayans just added a certain amount of days to a previous date in their calendar to find the end date of a cycle. We did the same in our calendar - accounting for leap years - and got to December 21st 2012.

the mayans didn't come up with an arbitrary date. the event which marks the end of the calendar cycle is the winter solstice of this year, which happens to fall on December 21st.
the whole thing is based on very precise calculations of astronomical progression over a 5,000 year cycle - which the mayans were somehow able to figure out, but which modern science has been able to confirm

I won't lie it is making me anxious but I wouldn't be surprised if nothing happened lol I just wish it would hurry up and get here so I don't have to worry about it. Although I don't think the world will end I'm afraid someone will do something stupid like kill themselves, or God forbid a terrorist attack.

my brother has bought a lot of stuff in preparation - not only for 12/21, if anything were to happen, but for any natural disaster or if people start freaking out and and riots or worse break out.
here's one article worth reading: NASA - Beyond 2012: Why the World Won't End
*But since there has been so many gun sales recently, along with all the talk about it, it may be more the instance of people freaking out in one way or another rather than something like the Mayan calender coming to end or solar storms, blackouts, etc. I
