CHALLENGE 29 YEAR-END LIST
My fandom year in review: 2011
Possible spoilers for The Good Wife
My biggest fandom this year has been Fringe. It's an awesome story with great characters. John Nobel deserves every award possible for his performance, he is brilliant. I honestly don't know if I've ever been so obsessed with anything the way I am obsessed with Fringe. That being said, my biggest ship this year has been POlivia.
-Stage-
I saw Peter Pan 360 this summer and was blown away. It was simply great! Everyone should experience this!
-Movies-
I became obsessed with Pride&Prejudice this year. I watch it every time it's on tv. Just last night I stayed up ujtil 2AM to watch the end. Like I haven't seen it dozens of times before.
I found a new respect for Titanic. I saw in the theater when it first came out and I've seen it on video since then, but I would watch it on tv and notice all different sides to the story that I just didn't see when I was little. It also revived my interest on the history and facts behind the ill-fated ship of dreams.
Period movies filled up my Netflix queue this year. I find all of it just lovely. The costumes, the dancing, the way of speaking...I love it.
-TV-
The Good Wife always is a great show that is packed with everything. Plus great characters. That elevator hook up between Will and Alicia was seriously hot, but my heart broke a little when I realized that Alicia didn't love him.
I started watching Supernatural with my dad this year. We're in the middle of season six. These boys are amazing to me, you really believe them! I'm a Sammy girl, always have been, but when Castiel showed up I kinda fell for him. I love episodes where they just make fun of themselves, but I feel like an idiot for laughing at it because my dad doesn't know what is going on or why it's funny.
New Girl is the best show of the new season. It's so cute and funny, I love all the characters and want them to be my friends.
Medium ended this year, and thanks to re-runs on Lifetime I got hooked. Can I please have Joe Dubois to call my own?
One day, I was super bored with nothing to do, I watched an Awkward marathon. It's not a great show, a little over the top, but I still enjoy it. I think I'm team Jake.
-Music-
I'm a bit of a music snob, but I really like the music played on Chuck, Parenthood, and The Good Wife. I'm currently researching Chuck music and I have a YouTube playlist of Parenthood music to be looked at later. I couldn't find a definitive list of music from The Good Wife.
-People-
Anne Hathaway. First saw her in The Princess Diaries, loved in The Devil Wears Prada, new found respect in Love and Other Drugs
Carey Mulligan. She is so cute and chic. I swear, if I were a big Hollywood name, this would be me. Her fashion is amazing!
Dianna Agron. She seems so sure of herself. I like the way she presents herself and the way she speaks.
I liked Jared Padelecki in Gilmore Girls, I love him in Supernatural.
I can't quite put my finger on what it is I like about Michelle Williams, but she definitely makes my list.
I'm not even sure if Mischa Collins has been in anything other than Supernatural, and honestly I don't know if I even like him as a nice guy. I mean he's a good guy in Supernatural, obviously, but I would much rather see his brooding stare than his smile.
Nikki Reed has definitely grown on me. Considering how much I disliked her from Twilight and now I love seeing her in interviews.
Taylor Lautner seems like a real genuine, nice guy. I really like that.
I was all about the royal wedding! Got up at 4AM to watch it.
I was immersed in Breaking Dawn press coverage this year. It's weird, because I'm kind of over Twilight, but I do like watching these interviews. Especially if they're group interviews! Rob, Kristen, and Taylor are so fascinating when they're together.
-Books-
City of Bones sucked me in. I found it to be simply terrific. I still have two books in the series, so no one spoil me. But Clary and Jace can not be brother and sister. I do not accept this.
-Other Obsessions-
I'm a hopeless romantic, and I'm all about Love Stories!
I got a Tumblr this year, and I'm not really sure I get the point of it. Confessions blogs are thoroughly entertaining though.
Anything and everything vintage, retro, or kitschy.
Weddings! I love weddings, and my friend introduced me to this show Four Weddings on TLC. It's awesome, and after I watch it I get in this very wedding-y mood. I look at wedding dresses on Google images and follow wedding blogs on my aforementioned Tumblr.
