Gakked from hells_half_acre:

Your main fandom of the year?
Supernatural, with a bit of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Austen for some flavor.

Your favorite film watched this year?
Hmm...this is difficult, as I tend to watch a lot of films, not all of them necessarily released this year. Here's my shortlist: Slums of Beverly Hills, Donnie Darko, Let the Right One In (which is what the perfect vampire film should be, IMO) and Inception. If the question only referred to films released this year, then it's Inception, hands down. I watched that four times at the cinema, and I never got tired of that shit.

Your favorite book read this year?
Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell, the most darkly hilarious book I've read to date. I bought it when I found it on the top of the "Below P300" pile at National Bookstore. (You'd have bought it too if the cover looked like this.) You'd also be interested to know that the book has its very own trailer posted at youtube.

Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
If iTunes is to be believed, it's a toss-up between Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song", Thursday's "Standing on the Edge of Summer", and Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" (...DON'T JUDGE ME). If it isn't obvious, I don't really keep myself updated with today's music: I just stick to what I already know and listen to it obsessively.

Your favorite TV show of the year?
BBC's Sherlock. And Supernatural, which is the only series I followed this year. (I stopped watching SYTYCD faithfully after two of my favorite contestants left the show due to injuries and I couldn't take Kent's small-town boy antics anymore. Alex and Ashley, why did you two have to leave so soon? *sob*)

Your favorite community of the year?
Hmm...I think it'd be rec_hymenated, because a.) no one can send me enough recs to satisfy my urge to read good fics; and b.) I love Dean and Castiel together whether as friends or lovers, so any community that gives me both makes me squee with glee.

Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
BBC's Sherlock, hands down. WHY CAN'T IT BE AUGUST NOW, ARGH.

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
ALEX FREAKING WONG GETTING INJURED ON SYTYCD. God, did I really get the urge to sob uncontrollably when they announced that he ruptured his Achilles tendon.

I also hated the fact that I missed out on Neil Gaiman's visit here in Manila because...well I forgot why I missed out on it, actually. I'm fairly sure it was important, though.

Oh! And Glee's second season! It's such a weak follow-up to the first season (Sue's characterization is all over the place, it's not even funny anymore) and Will makes me want to bash his head in every time he appears on-screen. The only good things that came out of S2 are the Rocky Horror episode and Kurt's relationship with Blaine.

Your TV boyfriend of the year?
I really don't know, haha. Maybe Alex Freaking Wong (if he swings my way), because damn can that man dance. I hope his injury heals well and that he's back dancing his heart out.

Your TV girlfriend of the year?
Kathryn McCormick, who's my favorite female dancer out of all the seasons of SYTYCD. I love her personality, she really connects with her partners, and I envy her legs (they're awesome!). She was really good in her season, but IMO she really shone as an All-Star. My favorite routine from S6 was her contemporary routine with Jakob, but I felt that she really stood out in Dee Caspary's contemporary group number in S7, and not only because she's featured in the choreography (she's the one in the white dress).

Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Oh...I don't know. Maybe when Misha Collins tweeted this picture. I don't know why, but the combination of Jensen's WTF face and his...mini-motorcycle?...and Jared's 'huh?' expression and uber long legs had me squeeing with glee. I love it when "cool" people act like total dorks. :D

The most missed of your old fandoms?
Hmm...I think it'd be RK, because not a lot of people produce quality fic for that series anymore.

The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I haven't tried watching any new stuff yet because with the amount of fic that I normally read, my course load, and real life shenanigans, I really don't have time to get into new stuff. I did borrow my mom's copy of Modern Family (to be watched over the holidays--hopefully), so maybe I'd get into the fandom? (But I never really get into the 'mainstream' TV show fandoms because I find the fans either too crazy or too vanilla. Um.)

Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
Sherlock, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, and the rest of SPN!

Copypasta'd from my cousin's Facebook post:

ETA: I am made of LJ cut fail. .__.

Did my Chemistry homework for 3 hours straight. I could've easily finished it in 2 hours, but my anal retentiveness reared its ugly head and I re-wrote all my equations twice until it looked neat enough. Now there's a permanent indentation on my right index finger from because I my grip on the pen was too tight. Heh.

Found this from some journal or other:

1. Grab the nearest book.

"If you ever do become a king, and you want to be honored as a king and deemed worthy as a king, and if ever you find yourself drinking date wine or pomegranate wine from one of the royal goblets in the company of others whose good opinion you wish to remain, always make certain that you drink with your nose inside the brim of the royal goblet."

"Inside the brim?"

"Inside the brim."

--God Knows by Joseph Heller

I'm not tagging anybody - anyone who wants to grab this meme can take it. XD
