I don't know about you, flist, but I am thrilled the holidays are over. I mean, yes, it's technically Christmas for another fifteen minutes, but all my familial obligations are over, I have the day off of work tomorrow, and while 75% of the people I work with are still going to be on vacation on Tuesday, at least I'm not going to be dealing with the stress of them trying to do five zillion things before they leave. Also, I downgraded my New Year's Eve plans from 'huge group of people go to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' on Friday plus find a party for Saturday to 'huge group of people go to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' on Saturday, thus giving my weekend WAY MORE 'curl up with my computer and my internet friends' time. (I am considering doing a comment meme - anyone else interested?)

So, in the spirit of getting this livejournal back into fandom shape, what follows is my fannish year's-end post.

First of all, this was THE YEAR OF KATNISS EVERDEEN: MOST AWESOME.

Seriously, one of my first posts of 2011 was me flailing about The Hunger Games and the flail just continued all year long. MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR. ALSO, CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING YOU CHOOSE TO BE, KATNISS EVERDEEN. (Random tangent: when I went to go see Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows a.k.a. twenty-six dollars I will never see again, while in the theater I saw a huge display of THG posters and gasped, shouted 'The Hunger Games!' and flailed my hands, causing an entire family to turn around on the escalator and stare.)

Top Five Characters of 2011:

Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games.
Boyd Crowder, Justified.
Gail Peck, Rookie Blue.
The Evil Queen/Regina Miller, Once Upon A Time.
Cameron, The Sarah Conner Chronicles.

Top Five Ships of 2011:

Katniss/Peeta, The Hunger Games.
Tyler/Caroline, The Vampire Diaries.
Sif/Loki, Thor.
Boyd/Ava, Justified.
Daenerys/Jorah, Game of Thrones.

ETA: When I looked closer at the dates on some of my entries, I realized that it was 2010 when I first read The Hunger Games and Katniss was one of my top five characters of last year. Well, she's fucking well going to be on this year as well! And likely will make the top 5 of 2012 to boot! That is just how awesome she is!

If you really liked the Sweedish film, you might be a bit weirded out by the English one ... just a warning, lol. Or maybe I'm too sensitive, I don't know.

Late but...

Oh my god, you were so right. Especially if you replace 'weirded' with 'pissed off.'
