2012: there's nothing in my pocket but there used to be gold
Here, have at some lists I finally managed to post even though they've been lying around on my computer SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, growing longer all the time. (Let me tell you a funny story. You know why I only posted them now? I didn't feel up to the amount of coding this would require. HA. HA. FUCKING HA.) Anyway, these lists are super awesomely coded- um, except for the list of shows. The reason for this is that I can't quite seem to sum up my feelings for a whole season (or worse yet, a whole show) in one of three categories, and I'm sometimes quite divided (take Doctor Who, for example, SOME OF IT IS CRAP BUT IT'S STILL A THING OF MY HEART), but if I watch more than just a few episodes it usually means I at least really, really enjoy the show. So, without further ado... some embarrassingly long lists.
