March: I locked my journal, discovered Doctor Who, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory and wrote this semi interesting post about books.

April: I watched season 1 of Supernatural and wrote unreadable reaction posts. (they can be found here and here.) and I unlocked my journal again because I was sick of the banner at the top. I had a semi-big breakdown and told my parents all my anxieties and phobias. And I was a russ! (explanation for what Russ is here) Pictures of me in my russ gear here

June: I start the sign-ups for Narnia Fic Exchange 2009. I got totally obsessed with Star Trek. I watched it twice in under a week. I also got a tiny fangirl crush on Karl Urban and made a picspam post here. I asked my flist how they discovered fanfiction and told the story of how I did here. I started writing Star Trek fic... where Kirk was born a girl! The start of my genderfuck obsession.

Wow, I was actually around for most of that! Including the birth of genderfuck. So, all the stuff I missed:

Jane Eyre! Oh my god, I just finished reading that book three days ago and it is so good, I think I'll read it again!

I've already mentioned this, but it bears repeating - I love the erasure you did for me. I had no idea that my writing had such good words hidden inside of it.

The Great Gatsby is another favorite of mine. And you read Wicked! (this means you'll fill that one prompt I left in your ficathon soon, right?)

I love you so much, Carro!

Oh gosh, that Locke Lamora book sounds so EPIC! *adds to ever-growing reading list*

Haha! Yeah, the birth of genderfuck! It's all Star Trek's fault I'm afraid. I'll probably be known as the chick who the bends the genders of the Pevensies.

Jane Eyre is a wonderful book, and I try to read it once a year.

I really liked erasuring your fic. I love the result and I really hope there'll be another erasurathon, because that was a lot of fun.

Yes, I did read Wicked. I finished it on the last day of 2009 (which lead my book reading of 09 to a total of 50 books.) But I'm seriously questioning if I should answer you prompt with book!Elphaba (Who except during the Shiz years, I didn't like much) or musical!Elphaba.

I love you too, Liz! Let's hope that 2010 will be even more awesome=)=)

If there's one book I could make everyone read then it's definitively that one. It's absolutely awesome and epic and I highly recommend it!
