New year, new layout. I'm going with a Nero banner this time. I think my infactuation with him will last as long as the game does, so best give him banner time while the urge is hot.
As years went, 2008 was okay. Some of it was fantabudastic, some of it made me wish I'd been born anyone but me and some of it was just fine.
I passed my OU course with a distinction, wrote two original novels, attended
writerconuk, found several new fandoms, read a shit-load of books, comics, magazines and fanfic, got to know my family a little more ...
No wonder I'm exhausted!
My favourite books of 2008 were Anthony Horowitz's
Alex Rider books, Mark Haddon's
A Spot of Bother and
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and
The House at Riverton by Kate Morton.
My favourite film was Iron Man. Not a good year for films. I actually found The Dark Knight to be somewhat of a disappointment. I feel a chick-flick phase approaching.
My fabourite TV shows were Torchwood, Doctor Who, Merlin and The Apprentice (When is that back on? I need some Sugar).
My favourite fandom was Torchwood (Jack/Ianto).
My favourite fics were
Time Enough (Jack/Ianto) by
veronicaluv,
It Didn't Start Like This (Jack/Ianto) by
szm,
Take a Sad Song and Make it Better (Harry/Draco) by
femmequixotic and Drop Dead Gorgeous (Harry/Draco) by Mistful.
My favourite dog was Indy, my favourite socks the red, stripy, fluffy ones, my favourite PJs the purple Eeyore with checked bottoms, favourite slippers the red slip-ons with pom poms. Fav perfume J-Lo Glow, fav body cream Molton Brown Yuan Zhi, fav people YOU GUYS!!!
