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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] veronicaluv, It Didn't Start Like This (Jack/Ianto) by [livejournal.com profile] szm, Take a Sad Song and Make it Better (Harry/Draco) by [livejournal.com profile] 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!!!

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

I like your layout - the header is very mesmerising

*iz mesmerised*

*blinks*

I loved Iron Man - we bought the DVD for youngest son and I've really enjoyed rewatching it. I agree with you about the Dark Knight although I though Heath Ledger was stunning, but The Dark Knight himself rather two dimensional...

Alex Rider books are really well done aren't they? I got them for my eldest when he was about 11 and we all read them and got very excited when a new one was out! *g*

Hee! Yes, I can't help staring at it. I love his expression. He's got the look of someone who knows what he wants and is damn-well going to get it.

Hedge Ledger was great, but he still wasn't quite right for me. He was brilliantly twisted but not quite funny enough. The Joker in the comics is hilarious and you laugh and then feel like such a sicko for finding it funny :oD Perhaps I need to watch it again. I completely agree about Batman. Really, the whole film just felt long.

I adore the Alex Rider Books! I only discovered them when Snakehead came out. I read the whole lot in a couple of weeks and now I can't wait for the next one. Alex is such a wonderful character. He's so strong and he doesn't fall into self-pitying. I even loved the Stormbreaker film!

Thanks!

LOL, I'd love him to say that to me, too!! I just love how everyone is so cocky and arrogant, but within seconds of being in his presence they're kissing ass and humbled down to mere children.

No probs! Unfortunately, Mistful (now known as [livejournal.com profile] sarahtales) has taken all her fanfic down because she's about to publish an original novel. However, she did offer a PDF of all her work including Drop Deap Gorgeous. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll email it to you.

A very busy year! I should do one of those but I'm sure it would turn into a tl;dr thingie.

Also, every second word would most likely be Angel, so no. :D

Nero is very pretty. Please to be smishing him with Dante before the obsession fades. ♥

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! You're not obsessed with Angel, are you? Surely not! I'm very shocked. ~g~

I shall most definitely smish Dante and Nero together. I'm gonna complete the game first and then try to write something that makes sense in my own head, although it will probably be PWP because I just feel that way about them. Pervy oD

Oh wow, another Alex lover! I forgot you'd left me a comment...I can't wait for book 8 to come out. I didn't think I could obsess over anything as much as I have over Harry Potter, but I'd have to say that Alex Rider is tying...I keep an avi copy of Stormbreaker on my laptop and play it at least once or twice a day while I work.

Any idea when the next book is due? I can't wait!

I actually feel better about HP being over because I've got the Alex Rider books to look forward to! And I love the Stormbreaker film, too.

I've heard he's in Africa (I think that's where) doing research. It should be sometime in the fall or the beginning of next year...I feel like I'm waiting for DH all over again.
