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!!!

I've had a good but weird morning so far. Grandad woke up in a much better mood, so that immediately put me emotionally in a much better place. I then threw my John Barrowman album all the way across my bedroom. No, I wasn't in a strop. It was a rather spectacular accident. I was just putting the empty case down on top of all the other CDs I've got piled up next to my clapped-out stereo, and my mind wandered far away; the next thing I knew I was doing the one-object-juggle and the CD was flying across the room. Whoops! A few minutes later I squirted my Simplicity face cream all over my duvet. But things didn't stop there, oh no. Next, while squidging more gloopy stuff into the palm of my hand, I managed to knock over EVERYTHING on my vanity shelf, and after I picked it all up one-handed, I rubbed my palms together and applied my Charles Worthington Non-Frizz Curl Activator -- to my face. I'm expecting my cheeks to spiral and kink any moment now.

Next, the dog chased the cat and I ran screaming after the dog. I feel like I've stepped into a cartoon.

In better news, [livejournal.com profile] literati made me Devil May Cry 4 icons. Hot-t-t-t-t-t-t-t! Thank you, honey bee!

Got my copy of Assassin's Creed this morning. £8.99. Bargain. I'm very much looking forward to some good old-fashioned killing and slaughter.

I shall leave you with that thought. I'm off to [livejournal.com profile] big_ball's place in about an hour for my third Christmas. L will be joining us later and my tummy is rumbling in anticipation of BB's annual buffet.

Hope you're all having a great day.

EDIT: I notice some of my LJ images are missing. Mood theme, banner, a few icons. I hope it isn't just me.

It's been a weird couple of days. Grandad hasn't been behaving himself and we've had 'antics'. I won't go into it, but he's always been a handful and always will be. At times like this I need to remind myself that I need to be a little stronger and take things less to heart.

But never fear! I cheered myself up with some online shopping! I bought Gareth David-Lloyd's audio books. All of them. Am particularly looking forward to the Cthulhu ones. My ex was a massive Lovecraft fan and I caught a bit of the love from him. He used to read some of the stories to me, and now weirdly even five years later, the stories aren't the same when I read them myself. Now I have Gareth to read them to me! Yays!

In Devil May Cry 4 news, I'm still adicted, and every moment I play I fall a little bit more in love with Nero ~points to icon~ I went looking for Dante/Nero fic yesterday and joined a few comms. Haven't found much in the way of fic yet. It seems the fandom takes 'uke' a little too literally. Come on, I'm a short way into the game and I can already see that he's a confident, cocky, tough, talented, part-demonic warrior. I doubt very much he's going to cry during sex.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas. It's very quiet here. Grandad has been asleep for much of the day, which leaves me to my own devices. That would actually be quite nice, but unfortunately he stirs every time I so much as twitch towards the remote control. Despite this, I did manage to get in a couple of hours of gaming on my PS3 and I would like to announce my brand new crush.

From Devil May Cry 4. OMG, it's an awesome game and I don't totally suck at it, which is unusual for me with a game that involves running, jumping and fighting. I have a feeling Nero is going to be my new Cloud.

Got lots of prezzies. Feel a bit spoiled, actually. Merlin soundtrack, Harry Connick Jr. CD, Le Morte d'Arthur and the first Blood Ties novel from my darling [livejournal.com profile] amejisuto. The new Martin Clunes book and Jason Donovan album from my gorgeous [livejournal.com profile] kitty_poker1. EEEEEEEEEE, thank you, guys!. Molton Brown goodies and a funny book of typos from R. And from Grandad, PS3 games, DW audio book, DW S4, House S3, Smallville S6 and Primeval S1&2.

The highlight of the day was the dinner, which came out perfectly and even earned me a pat on the shoulder and a 'You done good, girl,' from Grandad. High praise indeed.

Second highlight was the DW Christmas Special. Yes, it was brilliant. Loved it. Major spoilers under the cut (and please scroll down because some people track and the cuts don't show up).

The Next Doctor )

On a totally seperate note, I'm watching Wallace and Gromit and I'm stunned that I didn't realise before how much Gromit reminds me of Ianto.
