Such beautiful pics, and I love your choices. <3

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! I kind of agonized over which to include. I love too much stuff! ;)

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

Yay, Dollhouse and Dog Whisperer! You make the prettiest picspams!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it was extremely time consuming actually. I don't know how people do it all the time. Maybe you'll see another one from me at the end of next year, lol.

[anno-superstar.livejournal.com]

NICE!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[workswithwords.livejournal.com]

I love this, KC! Also you have no idea how excited I am that you are going to try and watch Sons of Anarchy!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You know, when it premiered I downloaded the pilot and a couple of the other eps as they became available because I fully intended on watching, but then I never did. Apparently it's gotten really good this year, so I might as well give it a shot when and if I have the time.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

you have such a way with graphics, I had missed seeing you mess with pics like that. beautiful!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I think I forgot how time-consuming it is though! Haha. Thank you though, I'm glad you like it!

[lunatics-word.livejournal.com]

This is amazing <3

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

[apologizeg.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Muse, Fringe, Ugly Betty, Mythbusters, LJ, Veronica Mars, Peter Bishop, Zooey Deschanel, Kristen Bell, Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson = ♥

Great picspam! Love the coloring on the pictures.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I totally agree on all accounts.

Thank you so much!

[airings.livejournal.com]

Anna Torv! Unf.

Dear Zachary was so sad :(

[crickets.livejournal.com]

She is awesome.

Oh, I know! And infuriating. GOD that movie basically just knocks you over and rips out your still-beating heart... essentially.

[gigglemonster.livejournal.com]

Well would you look at that! It's done! And PRETTY! And kick-ass!
I highly agree with all of your choices! PETER! The Brothers Bloooom and everything else! Your pictures all turned out really, really nicely :)
And here's to 2010! I think I wanna check out SoA as well *nods*

[crickets.livejournal.com]

[angela-weber.livejournal.com]

The Avett Brothers, Muse, Harper's Island . . . this picspam is gorgeous (and has such good taste!). ;)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Haha, thank you! As do you!

[slybrunette.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous spam! The coloring is amazing!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Stephanie! I didn't get a lot of sleep, but at least I finished something.

[lenina20.livejournal.com]

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST GORGEOUS PICSPAMS I'VE EVER SEEN. CONGRATULATIONS!

I have to admit, though, I'm very disappointed Big Love is only a runner up. In my opinion, nothing can't compare with the brilliance of S3.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Aw, well thank you!

You know, it was really kind of agonizing deciding which shows to put on here, I went through my episode list for the year and thought about what I watched a lot, what influenced me a lot, what I spent a lot of time thinking about/creating fannish stuffs for, what just made me the happiest. Etc. I wish I had the time to do all of them though because it was really a hard decision. I still love Big Love just as much!

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

I love that you put Fassy on it!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

He's so pretty. Hehehe. I couldn't not.

There were a few other guys that were potentials for the list, but I couldn't decide between them and so Michael's hotness won out.

[obsessive24.livejournal.com]

Aww, this was really awesome to scroll through! Beautiful pics and what a lovely summary of your year in fandom.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Despite being very time-consuming, it was actually really fun to do!

[brightly--wound.livejournal.com]

High five for the Michael Fassbender love! He is so underappreciated, which completely blows my mind since the man is just phenomenally hot. Lol.

Also, Pushing Daisies, Dollhouse, Veronica Mars, Muse, and the White Stripes! ♥♥♥

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I hadn't even heard of him until this year. And, wow, I am glad I did. Hehe. I agree completely

Yay for all those awesome things! Thank you! ♥!

[turquoisetumult.livejournal.com]

I am quite tempted to blow up that Lee Pace picture and post it all over my walls. He looks sounbelievablyfuckin'pretty in it.

The Fall = ♥ (I love that you included Alexandria's shoes in that image. I just think it kind of adds to the whole innocence theme (and the exploitation of said innocence).

*sniff* RIP Pushing Daisies and Dollhouse. All my TV shows are getting killed in front of me. :(

And MUSE. Haha, you DID join us folks on the dark side, KC! :D

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, it is very flattering isn't it? Gosh, he's so pretty.

Yeah I was going through screencaps, saw that and knew it was the missing link to my little collage. I agree.

Yeah I know, I've had time to get over Pushing Daisies a little bit. I mean, I still think it's THE best show that's ever been cancelled, but it stings a little less now.

As for Dollhouse, its cancellation has only made me that much more disappointed about TSCC. I think TSCC would have had a better chance of making it through this year than Dollhouse. So now that Dollhouse is cancelled I really wish it had been the one to be cancelled first. Epitaph One was a stellar episode and would have been a fine way to end the series. Whereas with TSCC we are left with a lot of huge unanswered questions and the question of "what if?" (What if DH had gone first, would TSCC have made it?)

I have dug several of their songs for a lot of years, but they did kind of take over the world this year, didn't they? A lot of their tracks are really inspiring to me, from a fannish standpoint. I'd love to vid them, but I doubt that will ever happen. I'll have to settle for writing fic while listening to their music. Hahah.

[aetenae.livejournal.com]

This picspam is really cool. The Bloom Brothers!!! I loved that movie. Oh, and Michael Fassbender looks so hot on those pics.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I loved that movie. It was very pretty! That's for sure. I wish I could have found someplace to get caps for it.

He really does! He beat out several other gentlemen for that spot because of it!

[quiet-rebel.livejournal.com]

Lovely picspam! And you are gonna love Sons of Anarchy!!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yeah, I've heard it's great. I'll at least give it a shot.

[isis2015.livejournal.com]

The Fall is such a lovely movie. I didn't see it until after Pushing Daisies (;_;), so it was a bit of a 180 from Ned, but it just proves how talented Lee Pace is. The little girl was also wonderful. Child actors are really hit or miss, but I really appreciated the way they handled her, as well as her relationship with Roy.

I think Sons of Anarchy is really good. It can be rough sometimes, but the actors are just wonderful in their parts. I was really surprised when I learned Charlie Hunnam was English too.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah I didn't watch it until this year either. I think the thing about that flick that makes it one of my top movies is really just how beautiful it is. That director is an artist.

Oh yeah I guess it would make sense that Charlie wouldn't have his accent on the show. I remember him way back from a few of the other things he's done so I already knew. He was in Young Americans, I think. I think he was in some movie with Katie Holmes forever ago too.

[gypsy-sally.livejournal.com]

You are always making with the gorgeous.

Love this, love your choices. Great stuff.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Haha, it has been too long since I've done something like this. It was fun though.

[uhzoomzip.livejournal.com]

oh, i fell in love with veronica mars this year - we went through like six weeks where it was VM everyday. and i've totally got a girl crush on kristen bell!

'breaking bad' is fantastic, but nightmarish and 'sons' is surprisingly compelling - i give a ton of credit to katey sagal for that.

also, HI! how the hell are ya? :-)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! I love Veronica Mars. It's one of those shows I am bummed I didn't watch while it was still on. And Kristen is just hilarious and funny and really, really hard not to love.

See icon.

Fantastic, but nightmarish. Sounds right up my alley, huh? LOL. I just realized Katey Sagal was in that the other day and it made me want to watch it even more! That's a long way from Peg Bundy huh?

Hi! I'm doing okay, could be better, but who couldn't? And yourself?

[beerbad.livejournal.com]

I got your card in the mail, yay! Thank you! (And thanks for the tea, too. :)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yay! You're welcome! Enjoy! :)

[beerbad.livejournal.com]

Fantastic Mr. Fox is still in theatres, go see it!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, nice list. :D

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I totally should. I also want to see that Everybody's Fine movie as well. The problem is I want to do too much and end up doing far too little, lol.

[killmotion.livejournal.com]

OH THIS IS SO PRETTY!!! Dude that FONT is hot. I love it. Ok this whole list is A+++ approval. But yay I hope you love Breakign Bad and Sons of Anarchy. Two amazing shows, so underrated. :D

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will tell you what that font is as soon as I remember it -- don't let me forget. I am looking forward to trying both shows -- especially with all the glowing reviews people are giving them.

[falseeeyelashes.livejournal.com]

This is AWESOME. Absolutely gorgeous and I love your choices for this!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have to credit you for turning me on to Mr. Fassbender though. But that Fish Tank movie was... well not as weird as it was boring, yeah? It's okay though, he was very pretty in it.
