My 2009 Scrapbook
This really did take me weeks to put together so I really hope you all enjoy a few (or a lot) of my favorite things about my 2009. Happy New Year to all of our new members!
♥ ♥ .:. C o u p l e s o f 2 0 0 9 .:. ♥ ♥
Joey and Pacey Where do I even begin to express my new-found love
for this couple?? They are the epicest of the most epic! I don't even care if
"epicest" isn't a word. They are it. Love. Love. Love. One thing I enjoyed about
their relationship is the dialogue they exchanged. It was always so sarcastic
and quick-witted. And their adorability factor was just ridiculously sweet! All
of their kisses and hugs were so loving. These two had such great chemistry. I
just started shipping them this year but they will forever more be my OTP.
Echo and Paul I'll admit that I was mostly wrapped up in Victor &
Sierra with the first season of Dollhouse, but this season made me ship Paul and
Echo forever. Especially after the episode "Meet Jane Doe". Paul and Echo are
just so subtle and sweet. They balance eachother well and I must shallowly admit
that they are both so pretty together. ;-P
Victor and Sierra One word = ADORABLE! The way they both still
continue to remember eachother, even after their minds have been erased, is so
heart touching to me. They are the couple I love to ship because they are just
too precious together to be apart. Just like Willow & Oz.
Damon and Elena I will admit, I haven't read any of TVD books, but
on the show I am all aboard this ship. Why? Umm, have you seen these two
interact? There are sparks flying all over the place. ;) I love the chemistry
these two have. Damon is just so darn entertaining. I know he is ~te evil~ but I
find him to be the most interesting character on that show. He makes Elena more
interesting just by talking to her.
Booth and Bones Oh my bb's! When these two finally do get
together, it will be epic. I know it. I'm in no rush to see them finally become
a "couple", because I think they already are in some ways. They just need to
admit their feelings. I love how both Booth and Bones are such original
characters. They really learn from eachother. And they are so darn hilarious!
Richard and Kahlan Chemistry? Yes. Impossibley cute? Yes. I like how
Kahlan protects Richard and looks out for him. She can hold her own. Together
they are the cutest thing ever.
Buffy and Angel Spike? MOVE OVER! I'm sorry, but Buffy and Angel
will always be the perfect ~forbidden love~ couple. Those actors worked so well
together it was insane! Their chemistry was impossible to re-create. No one else
would ever be good enough for Buffy. I believe that, in the end, Buffy went and
found Angel and they lived happily ever after in Epic Shipperdom.
Jim and Pam This couple is so underrated for its' epicness! Their
whole relationship is perfect. Just the right amount of angst/longing/laughter
and love. Their marriage ceremony was just... the best ever. ♥
Neytiri and Jake I know, I know, EVERYONE went crazy over this
movie. But they have good reason! It was amazing and part of what made it
amazing was the love story going on between Jake Sully and Neytiri. I loved
these two. The way Neytiri had to teach Jake everything was so funny and sweet.
When Jake stares at Neytiri with those soulful eyes of his, my heart was full of
warm fuzzies. :D They may be blue, but they are still epic!
Kara and Lee Most epic couple of SciFi! They really were a huge
part of my 2009 year. I'm crazy about these two. No one could ever match their
love story. They've been through so much together. They have been friends,
lovers, and enemies. They are soulmates. THE END.
Harry and Ginny Unless you have read the HP series AND seen all
the movies, you will not understand how amazingly awesome these two are!! Their
relationship is so subtle in the books but also very passionate. I adore it when
the guy finally wakes up and realizes he is in love with ~the girl. The way
Ginny is so feisty and spirited fits perfectly with Harry. He needs someone who
will take control when necessary and watch over him every now and then. They are
my all-time OTP! (Along with Pacey and Joey.)
Jacob and Bella You all know I am a sucker for the underdog, but
Jacob is so much more than that. He is just...awesome. How did I not ever notice
it before?? Was I just trying to suppress my love for him? For this ship? I
think I was blinded by Edward's ~sparkles for far too long! The New Moon movie
made me realize just how much I love these two together. Their relationship is
so real and it grew slowly, over time. It wasn't BAM!In Your Face like Edward
was. Jacob was always there for her, no matter what. He never gave up on her. He
never left her. He was the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. BELLA SWAN, WHY
DIDN'T YOU OPEN YOUR EYES AND PICK THIS BOY?
Peter and Olivia My love for Joshua Jackson was part of the reason
I decided to give this couple a chance. But I soon fell in love with both of
these characters. Olivia is tough but not unapproachable. I think these two have
such good chemistry. The way they look out for eachother and communicate is
precious. They are soon becoming a top ship.
Willow and Oz Best red-headed couple ever! Oh I could gush and
gush forever about how freakin' adorable these two are. They were the perfect
couple. I was so so upset when Oz left and Willow became lesbian. :( They were
so meant to be. Oz was funny in such a sarcastic and subtle way. I loved it!
Willow was just a sweetheart and Oz was great with her.
Satine and Christian If you ever saw Moulin Rouge, you will know
how epic these two are! I adore them. They're pretty, they can sing, and they
have an amazing connection (Example, ~seeing into your soul~ eyes). Just epic.
Zoe and Sam I ship them just because they're pretty. *_*

Legend of the Seeker I admit that I started watching this show
because almost my whole F-List was into it. I ended up really enjoying the first
season! Everyone is so pretty and I am a sucker for slow-mo action scenes. The
setting for the show is gorgeous. I love the landscapes. All in all, it is
pretty cheesy, but I like it that way. Richard and Kahlan make this show work.
Battlestar Galactica I'm torn about the last season of this
show...it left a lot to be desired, I think. But the first two seasons of this
show was spectacuular! I loved so many couples and characters on this show. It
will always be one of my favorites.
The Vampire Diaries When I saw the first promo for this show, I
thought "Oh great. Another vampire show." But I was pleasantly surprised. Damon
and Elena, Caroline and Matt...so many good couples. I really like all of the
characters... well most of them. Jeremy as Elena's brother is love.
Fringe The X-Files meets Bones. I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS SHOW! I never
knows what the heck is going on and I love it. Plus there's Walter...oh, I love
me some Walter. That crazy old man is hilarious. Peter & Walter FTW. You all
already know I ship Peter and Olivia...
10 Things I Hate About You This another one of those shows that I
thought was going to ruin the movie for me. But not to worry, this show is just
as good as the original movie. And it's on every week! Who wouldn't want to see
Kat & Patrick interaction every week?? The actors were brilliantly cast and the
storyline is cute and refreshing. It's the only cheesy ABC show I will indulge
myself in watching.
Dawson's Creek How could I have not watched this show sooner???
It's fantastic! The dialogue is brilliant. The actors were actually young and
not 25 year olds pretending to still be in high school. They could act. They
were uniquely beautiful. Every character was deep and meaningful (except for
*cough*Dawson*cough*). I love this show so so much and I am so glad I got the
chance to finally watch it this year.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer I finally watched and finished Buffy this
year! I did skip over the seasons without Angel, but I still finished. This show
was... just so awesome. There were so many reasons why I loved it. It was
directed beautifully. It could make you laugh one minute, and have you bawling
yours eyes out in the next. I loved everyone on this show dearly. So many good
actors and actresses came out of this show. It was pure genius!
Bones This show never gets old. So many fun investigations and
couples to ship. ♥ It never fails to have me laughing and I love that
they brought Emily's sister in for the last episode!
Dollhouse This show got SO GOOD this season! I'm going to be sad
to see it go. :( It has a brilliant cast and great plot line. I ship everyone on
that show! They all make me so happy.
Everwood My love for Everwood was renewed this year!! My sister
bought all of the DVDs for every season and I spent hours gushing over
Amy/Ephram and Hannah/Bright all over again. This was how it was done! Teen
drama, angst, and love was at its' best! I will always love this show and hold
it close to my heart. It makes me think of my younger days...which actually
wasn't that long ago... ;)

New Moon Just as good as I expected it to be. Visually stunning
and beautiful acting. (Jacob and Bella owned this movie!) Everything was better.
Chris Weitz wins at life.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince There was action, there was
romance, there was more Ginny!! What more could my Harry Potter/Shipper heart
ask for? Nothing! (OK maybe a more epic kiss for H/G, but I can't complain.)
The Village First time to see this movie. I loved it. I wasn't all
that scared, but I loved Bryce and Joaquin. ♥ They were really good in
this movie.
The Covenant Let's be honest here... I watched it for the pretty
boys. O_O But I ended up really enjoying all of the action! Steven Strait...that
boy is just pure love. I didn't care much for his relationship with the
girl...what was her name?.. but I enjoyed all of other stuff.
Moulin Rouge Another old movie that I finally got to see this
year. Words cannot express how much I love this movie. Nicole and Ewan were so
so stunning! Their voices... oh my their voices. O_O I fell in love with
Christian this year. And I fell hard. <3 Men with beautiful voices = really hot.
I'm sorry. Is that shallow? The end of this movie breaks my heart but it is
still worth it.
This Is It The title says it all. This movie really wat ~it~.
EPIC. Just wow... I didn't know Michael was that amazing.
Avatar Ummm... can you say AWESOME? This movie, right here, it
owns you.
The Uninvited I really liked this movie. Emily Browning and
Arielle Kebbel were so fantastic! I was not expecting that ending at all. Very
well done. It made my top movies.

Bonnie Wright Most of my love for Bonnie is probably from my love
for her character Ginny Weasley, but I must say that this year she really became
amazing. She is so gorgeous. O_O But what I love most about Bonnie is that she
is very well-spoken. Her interviews are always so poised and sophisticated.
She's very mature for her age and comfortable with herself. I like that.
Frank Ranz I saw him in Dollhouse this year and can I just say
that Topher is one awesome character! Frank really showed his acting abilities
in this series. I just adore him now.
Daniel Radcliffe Alright, I'm not gonna lie, I love him because he
is Harry Potter. ;) I love how short and cute he is. Hehehe.
Emily Browning If I could look like anyone, it would be Emily! I'm
serious, this girl is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. Her photoshoots have me mesmerized. She
is a really great actress as well. I actually used to dislike her, a lot.
Everyone wanted her to be Bella and I could never see it. I don't know what
happened, but I completely fell in love with this girl. I can't see how you can
NOT like her now. She also has similar characteristics like Bonnie...
Joshua Jackson The love of my life. No one will ever be as awesome
as you! This man can act, oh yes he can. Pacey Witter and Peter Bishop should
exist in real life. If only...
Ian Somerhalder This was the year for Ian. Wow. He just came out
of nowhere! I've loved him since LOST. What can I say? The boy is beautiful.
Literally. And he really showed what a talented actor he is this year with The
Vampire Diaries series. Also, he is the perfect Ian O'Shea for The Host...cough.
James McAvoy I don't care if he wasn't big in 2009. James is
ALWAYS popular every year in my books. I'm like obsessed with this guy. He is so
uniquely handsome. And don't even get me started on how AMAZING his acting is!
Taylor Lautner Wow. I tell you what, wow. I never thought he could
act as well as he did in New Moon. He literally became Jacob Black for me.
Taylor is just so fun and sweet, you have to love him on principle alone. Oh and
I do believe he worked out a little this year... ;)
John Krasinski Jim Halpert is the perfect average guy. This actor
is so simple, but amazing. I just want to hug him...and maybe marry him.
Sam Worthington I have only seen him in Avatar (so far! I will
catch up on more of his work soon) but I love this guy. He is such a wonderful
new actor. I really enjoyed his performance as Jake Sully! Plus, he is
beautiful, therefore, he makes my Top 2009 People list.

The Host I originally read this book when it first came out but
still continue to love it this year. The beginning is a little tough to get
through but once you get towards the middle you will be hooked. I think the
reason I enjoyed this book so much was because it was DIFFERENT. No vampires, no
werewolves. Just Souls and Humans. :D I fell in love with Wanderer and really
admired her character. She was strong and unselfish. Plus, her relationship with
Ian O'Shea was really beautiful. I really love this book and recommend it to
anyone! And if you are a fan of the series, join the_host_novel, we
are all really nice. I promise. ;)
{Harry Potter} Deathly Hallows This was my first year to read the
Harry Potter series. I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!! So. Much. JK Rowling is just ...
she's a genius is what she is. To create this magical and spectacular world is
beyond my comprehension. I don't know how she did it but I am so glad she did!
Harry Potter will be one of my all-time favorite fictional characters. He went
through so much, he gave so much, he lost so much... The last book is one of my
favorites. It was EPIC. I am getting tired so I can't really say more but just
know that this book was one of the best books ever written.
The Hunger Games & Catching Fire Two words... SIMPLY AMAZING. I
wish I had the time to go on and on about the brilliance of this series but I do
not. I just recommend these books to anyone who loves Twilight/The Host. This
series was so refreshing to me! Very futuristic and original. I adore the main
character Katniss Everdeen and like that she has such admirable qualities. I
will admit that I do not ship the fan favorite (Katniss & Peeta) but I did enjoy
their interaction for the most part... Still, Gale Hawthorne is the character
that really drew me in. His relationship with Katniss is SO similar to Bella and
Jacob's. Gale is just the perfect best friend (and boyfriend). I'm going to
shamelessly pimp my comm now quietmoments_hg for Kat & Gale.
I hope you enjoyed this walk down memory lane for 2009! It took me a very long time to compile all of this so please take the time to comment! Pretty please?
