Working with 12/2 in outlets can definitely be a pain, but in a standard non-bathroom/kitchen/garage, you shouldn't be having that much of a draw anyway assuming you're not drying your hair, making waffles and running a miter saw in it all the time.

Also for you as well as some of these other posts so far….check your local building codes. While most closely follow NEC, they can differ or go beyond. For example while 14/2 is fine for a 15a circuit, local code where I live doesn't allow it, not even for general lighting circuits. 12/2 is minimum here even for basic circuits. Also keep in mind number of devices on the circuit too as localities may place different limits there as well.
Most of all IMO, if you don't know what your doing, you shouldn't risk your home doing it! I'd venture to say that most problems aren't from flat out wiring it wrong, but from poor connections and/or poor wire condition (think nicks on stripped ends and such). Poor connections, nicked copper, etc causes excess heat, and often times it's that heat that starts fires, not just shorts and stuff. In addition to that, if it did burn and they found un permitted work as even partly to blame, good luck trying to get insurance to pay out.
