i should be christmas shopping

[koncupiscence]

Your main fandom of the year?
bandom. mcr. i still eagerly away panic's new album, but... aside from that, it's pretty much all mcr all the time in these parts.

Your favorite film watched this year?
i didn't see much - i never do anymore, it seems. but there are three that top the short list. 1) inception, because it kept me interested and engaged through all three hours, and i kept thinking about it and trying to ~figure it out~ afterward. also, jgl and tom hardy. they're hot. 2) scott pilgrim vs. the world, because it was just GOOD FUN and FUNNY and close enough to the books that i sat there with major GLEEEEEEEEFACE from start to finish. \o/ so much enjoyment. 3) hp 7.1, because that world is close to my heart and the film was unexpectedly beautiful and moving and oh, july is going to be brutal. ♥

Your favorite book read this year?
didn't read as much as i'd hoped, either. :\ i will pick two. 1) the comic book series american virgin, written by steven t. segal with art by becky cloonan and ryan kelly (among others). a most unexpected and intriguing read. i was hooked almost instantly. 2) forever odd by dean koontz, the second in his 'odd thomas' series. it's much heavier than the first one, filled with so much heartache and sorrow. but it's that good kind of pain that you can only feel when an author writes characters so well that you end up really caring, and in some cases really crying, for them. and then there's also the suspense and adventure and woo-woo intrigue that koontz excels at. it's not ~literature~, but man, do i not care. i clutch those books to my bosom, i do. [eta: and i've just realized that the protagonists in these two books share very rare and similar circumstances. that was weirdly coincidental. and entirely unintentional in regards to my reading selections.]

Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
hands down 'danger days: the true lives of the fabulous killjoys' from my chemical romance. BIG SHOCKER. HUGE.

Your favorite TV show of the year?
i watch a lot of tv. hmm. what do i get most excited about... probably top chef and project runway. also, the big bang theory. and glee (even though it has... issues. i still look forward to it every week).

Your favorite LJ community of the year?
tothetune and mcr_unofficial. they're pretty much your one stop (two stop?) shopping resource for mcr news/photos/interviews/whathaveyou. thank you, mods, you rock!

Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
best new discovery in my fandom?
LIL NESTOR-IERO TWINS! KILLJOYS! STAGE SEX NOISES AND STRADDLING! *______*

or best new fandom i've discovered?
mmm, inception, i guess. not only has the arthur/eames flooded my shorts regularly, but the world-building, or maybe world-extrapolating, that these writers have achieved has been fucking impressive! holy moly, their brains.

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
losing bob. ;________; i still don't really understand it (even if i have theories), and i wish it wasn't so. i mean, mike pedicone is great! and i really thought not seeing bob up there would be a lot harder, but it's been surprisingly okay - i guess because bob was never a core element to my otp. but still, that hole makes itself known every time i look at an old band photo. or when i'm updating my icons (it hurts too much to use the bob icons, yet i find it too troubling to delete them. i don't want to wipe out his existence! yet seeing his face makes me :(. complicated over-invested feelings are complicated.) bob. ;___;

Your TV boyfriends of the year?
but tv's not my fandom. :\ shouldn't you be asking who my fandom boyfriend is? FRANK IERO, tyvm.

Your TV girlfriends of the year?
you mean my fandom girlfriend? lindsey way. she's just pretty kick ass. and pretty.

Your biggest squee moment of the year?
probably watching the art is the weapon trailer for the first time. hearing that little bit of na na na and seeing them all COLORFIED was amazeballs. oh! and comic-con. yes. definitely comic-con. i could listen to gerard talk for hourrrrrrrrrs. ♥___♥ also, unexpectedly standing next to ray toro and being all 'oh shit oh shit what do i dooooo' on the inside. of course, the answer, if you are me, is always nothing. ;_?

The most missed of your old fandoms?
hmm... even though i've read fic in this or that fandom, i really only consider lotrips to be an old fandom. i still keep tabs on it though. i guess maybe sometimes i miss the woodcest/dom story that i created in my head, but i visit it a couple times a year, so... it's still there. percolating. waiting for its proper due.

The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
i don't think i'm really interested in joining a new fandom. but fic that i might be interested in reading include: inception, star trek, sherlock holmes (film version), and glee.

Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
MCR TOUR! i'll be seeing them three times in one weekend at the end of may (and then maybe earlier that month in atlanta if i can swing it $$-wise). and comic-con! ALWAYS COMIC-CON. :D


in RL news, i'm currently working on a house post, because you are dying to know about my new windows and bathroom tile. it's very exciting stuff, i know.
