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*

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. ♥

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.
