April 2012: I picked up a cube, and remembered that I had a book on how to solve it. I had trouble figuring out what it meant, because I didn't know where to start. My dad helped me learn the notation and showed me some of what it meant.
May 2012: I knew how to do the F2L completely without help from the book. I could finish the cube if I used the contained LL algorithms.
June 2012: I worked on learning algs. By then I had started really caring and working on it a lot more. I would do my first solve soon, given that I had more time after just leaving 3rd grade.
June 24, 2012: I was on vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks (We go there annually in June with our extended family). That night, I had done many solves without the book. The last solve before I went to bed, I got to CP (it was a weird LL system that made it hard to transition to 4LLL, EOEPCOCP), which was the last thing I needed to learn. I was about to open the book. Then, I decided not to and tried the algorithm from memory. I got it right. (It was an Ab perm, x R2 D2 R U R' D2 R U' R.) I don't count this as my first solve because I had looked at the algorithm from the book before, and then solved the case. I don't remember exactly what happened that night, but I know it was a very significant achievement, whatever it was.
June 25, 2012: The next morning, I got up and picked up a cube. I scrambled it, and then solved it. My first full solve. I did it again. Later, I timed myself for the first time with some people watching. It was around 7:15. My times quickly dropped, and I got down to 3:00 by the end of the vacation.
Late June, 2012: I found an old Rubik's 4x4 that was in my closet, and with the help of the book I solved it. I didn't get around to memorizing the parity algorithms for a while.
July 7, 2012: For my half birthday someone gave me a crappy Rubik's 2x2. It was targeted towards very young children and had silly stickers, which I forgot exactly what they were.
A few days later: My cubesmith order arrived, and I restickered the 2x2 with normal stickers.
I forgot exactly when: I decided to sit down and learn the 4x4 parity algorithms.
August, 2012: I got a QJ tiled 4x4 (which was really bad but much better than my Rubik's brand), a QJ megaminx, a QJ pyraminx, both tiled, and a stickered QJ 5x5. I don't remember the exact dates of these.
October, 2012: I got a LanLan 3x3, which became my main. I also ended up with a LanLan 2x2 at some point.
November, 2012: I switched to a Dayan Zhanchi.
December 2012: I got many cubes for Christmas, including a SS 4x4, SS 5x5, and a stickerless Zhanchi.
January, 2013: I got more cubes for my birthday. I also got something that would be the reason that I'm not sub-10 right now: a Minecraft account.
February, 2013: I got a 3x3 PB of 17 seconds. I also signed up for a cubing competition, UIUC Spring 2013. I built a Rubik's Cube in Minecraft, like just about every cuber who plays Minecraft.
March 30, 2013: I went to my first competition. It was awesome. I actually did pretty well for me at the time. I made the second round of 3x3, my best average was sub-27, and I got a 5.80 2x2 single. If you care, check my WCA profile.
April, 2013: Minecraft stole my life. Skip ahead 13 months.
May, 2014: My family went to Costa Rica. I brought a Zhanchi on the plane to pass time (my average shot back up to 45) and I lost it. Why do people lose Zhanchis so much?
Later, we were at a place with WiFi, and I was curious about cubing again because of losing the Zhanchi. I checked the WCA competition page. My mom said that she would take me to Indiana 2014 if I actually practiced (anything to get me away from MC, at the time lol)
August 23, 2014: I went to Indiana for a competition. I had beaten my PB, which became around 14 seconds, and I had gotten back down to my old average and then passed it up. I competed in 3x3, 2x2, 4x4, Pyraminx, and 6x6, all of which I beat my OPB on (well I had never done pyraminx before). Two of my Pyraminx times were the same down to the millisecond. They were the first two solves, and were 16.439s. My 3x3 average was 20.68. I was REALLY back into cubing this time, and I refused to let the MC curse fall over me again. I was one week into 6th grade, and was obviously very excited about my upcoming comp, so everyone knew about it.
November 1, 2014: I went to a competition on the day after Halloween. I completely forgot about that until I noticed the free candy they were giving out at where we ate dinner on the way there. My dad took me to this one. I knew a lot more about speedcubing then, but there weren't that many well-known cubers there. I was, of course, sub-20, given over 2 months to improve from 20.68, and I even got a sub-17 average (16.98) in the second round. I was kinda proud of beating the delegate and the organizer in the same round with that average. I was 11th, so I didn't quite make the finals.
yada yada
I got some cubes for Christmas and my birthday.
I got an AoLong v2, switched to it.
Beat my PB with an 11.99(9). The best sub-12 single ever.
I had that PB for a few months, until...
March 28, 2015: I went to... definitely not a competition except yeah. (You can tell I'm getting a little bored but I'm almost done.) Many of the same people were there, but then there was also Chris Olson (thanks for not giving me a +2 on an OH solve that was my competition best and wouldn't have been) Kevin Hays (quit showing off. How do you turn that thing so fast?) and Kennan LeJune (why are you so awesome at cubing?) However on the way there, I beat my PB: 11.71. 5 minutes later, I beat it again: 11.57. Then, at the competition, in the second round of 3x3, I got a 15.03 average. If you actually checked my profile, you would have figured out that at the time my 11.90 was my 3rd best solve overall ever. If I hadn't been cubing in the car, it would have been my PB. I have a video on my stupid channel of that ao5.
March 30, 2015: I beat my PB again. And again. 10.43.
June 12, 2015: I got my first sub-10 single. I also got 6 other ones on other days. 9.56. That beat my PB of 10.12. I used COLL and got a PLL skip.
July 9, 2015: I average sub-14, and my PB is 8.51. I am a speedcuber so therefore I win. Bye that was stupidly long and I'm hungry.
update:
Summer 2015: I continue improving, until school starts. At that point, my best ao5 was 12.74, and although I considered myself sub-13; in hindsight, I probably still averaged around 13.2. I started getting frustrated by the lack of competitions to go to. Finally...
November 7, 2015: I go to KCubing 2015. I made the finals of 3x3 and 2x2, 3x3 for the first time ever. I was 8th place in 3x3 and 6th place in 2x2. It was my first competition where I was "fast". I barely drop my 11.90 single, getting it down to 11.86. However, I get my average from 15.03 to 12.10, almost a 3 second drop.
December 2015: I am planning on going to Music City Winter 2016, and consequently, I learn Square 1.
December 24, 2015: As a Christmas present, I am set up to fly to OKC for OKCubing 2016 on 1/16. I was really not expecting this at all.
January 1, 2016: My second solve of the year was a sub-10- 9.91. My first solve, I'm pretty sure, was a 13.35+.
January 2, 2016: Music City Winter was fun. I finally got a sub-10 single officially, but only because of a PLL skip. I got my average down to 11.20 somehow. About 2x2, please don't ask.
January 15, 2016: I miss school to go on a plane.
January 15, 2016 @ ~2:00PM: I get a sub 8 solve. Not my PB, but it was notable
because I had it on video.
January 16, 2016: OKCubing. It was in a kinda small room with no wifi, but it was still fun. Notably, a) I got 2 sub-10 singles b) I used COLL officially at least twice, and it resulted in a sub 10 single c) It was the first competition that I podiumed anything d) It was the first competition that I podiumed at least one round of 3x3 e) I beat my 2x2 OPB single after 14 months and f) more things lel
so I gave up because I still sucked with CFOP and switched to Roux. Best decision I ever made. I also tried other methods Petrus, ZZ 
to make sure Roux was right for me. The rest is on the forums.
