Year in Review: 2013 (pt.1)

[owaranai_natsu]

Hello all! Happy first week of the New Year! I didn't do anything for the holiday -just hung out and spent as much time by myself as I could ^^ Here is my per usual 'Year in Review' post -I hope all is going well for you so far ♥

Favorites/Obsessions of 2013 in the following categories:
Music: 4nin!NEWS, Girl's Generation a.k.a SNSD (TTS), and miss A
According to my last.fm account:

f(x), SHINee, and SNSD were quite close together! I can tell you that AAA is probably because of "Miss You," and "出逢いのチカラIII." Koyama is because of "Uri Sarang" and "Starry."
Others are 'regulars' from previous years as well ^^

Songs: NEWS' "Chankapana" and "Full Swing"
SHINee's "1000年、ずっとそばにいて"
f(x)'s "Nu ABO" and "Chu"
HaHa's "You Are My Destiny 2"
Shimizu Shota's "君が暮らす街" and his rendition of HY's "366日"
SNSD's "I Got A Boy" and "The Boys" ("Run, Devil, Run" and "Hoot")
TaeTiSeo's "The Twinkle"
miss A's "Hush" and "I Don't Need a Man"
According to my last.fm account:

Same note: Others are 'regulars' from previous years as well ^^

Dramas: Running Man, Flower Boy Next Door, Itazura na Kiss: Love in Tokyo, xxxHolic, and Mirae's Choice/Marry Him If You Dare
I finished 18 this year as opposed to my usual 30-40, but that tends to happen when I'm in Malaysia for vacation and don't have access to the Internet.

TV: Hannibal and Almost Human
I haven't actually watched through Hannibal's first season, but I was really interested in it when it first started. Almost Human is like the tamer version of Fringe (so far at least, and not in all the same exact ways, but ya know, J.H. Wyman and J.J. Abrams) and I'm definitely enjoying it. I would add S.H.I.E.L.D here too, because it was certainly highly anticipated, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I would like to have.

Movies: Wreck It Ralph, Iron Man 3, Star Trek (2009), Star Trek: Into Darkness, Thor: The Dark World, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones, and Saving Mr. Banks.

People: Song Joong Ki, Running Man cast, Khuntoria, YongSeo,

SeoHyun is easily my favorite member in SNSD, because she reminds me of me sometimes. I used to be really 'innocent,' am usually the maknae/younger member of any group, and can be very traditional or old-school in my ways (ex: not being able to use banmal to those older than me -not calling my coworkers by their first name xD). I thought I would never like this group, but I'm beginning to like them a bit more.

Writing/Fanfiction Round-up: I pathetically only wrote 3 fanfics this year xD
In Time With You with jentfic_remix 's  Time.
It's YokoHina and slightly bitter sweet since it's set during Recommen, but I still enjoyed writing this ^^

Bringing Out the Best in Us part 1 and part 2

I took on the challenge of doing je_devilorangel while overseas xD and it was such a cool experience working with tegopyon , and we actually did some RPing to get the story written :Db That's the most I've written on something! Go team Awkward Bears! xD

More Than They Seem
I wrote for an entirely new fandom, Running Man, which I had no idea what I was doing, but it turned out well for my Yuletide recipient ^^

So overall I wrote 12,108 words this year, averaging 1,009 words a month, but mostly it was that one challenge fic that boosted my numbers ^^ My goal for 2014 is that I'll continue to average 1,000 words/month and actually write each month xD

And because I'm silly: Candy Crush level/Odus Version: 421/33
