misscamLast, year, I summed up 2004, and now it's time for 2005.
Cam's Aquired Nasty Habit of the Year: Speaking Like Gollum, precious.
Cam's Soul-Nemesis '05: Bush, third year running. How shocking.
Cam's Almost-Nemesis '05: Fred Phelps.
Cam's Claim to Fame '05: Being a participant when Doctor Who Killed Snarry.
Cam's Naughty Accomplishment of the Year: Seducing several people into Doctor Who love.
Cam's 'You Want To Tell Me Again How We're Not Having Climate Changes' Moment of the Year: The whole sodding year, measured to be the hottest ever recorded. Also, worst hurricane season recorded. Earthquakes. Droughts. Floods. Worst monshoon season in a long time. Arctic found to be so warm polar bears are drowning because they have longer and longer to swim between ice that can hold them. Yeah, I can't see anything different, can you?
Cam's 'Oh, SHUT UP Norway' Moment of the Year: Norway fails to qualify for the World Cup. Everyone and their cat have an opinion on why. So does Cam - it was because our team sucked! Now STFU and let me watch my biathlon in peace.
Cam's 'Oh, SHUT UP Phelps' Moment of the Year: Phelps claims that tsunami was God's punishment on Swedens. Cam wonders why God then didn't just smite Sweden itself and give the World Cup spot to the Norwegian football team. Then she decides Phelps should just stick a lutefisk in it.
Cam's 'Oh, SHUT UP al-Qaeda' Moment of the Year: Various statements after the bomb attacks on London claim it delivered terror and broke the spirit of Londonders. Hitler, who tried his damn best for five years to get there with a lot more firepower tell al-Qaeda to stuff it with a bockwurst. IRA, who used to bomb London on a regular basis, tell al-Qaeda to stuff it with a Guiness. The Brits tell al-Qaeda to stuff with tea.
Cam's 'Gee, You Don't Say' Moment of the Year: Bush admits intellegence on Iraq was faulty. No, really?! And here I was still waiting for that awesome WMD bunker to be found.
Cam's Badfic Discovery of the Year: It's a dead heat - 'Warrick rapes Catherine so she can get together with Grissom' and 'the Doctor is really Rose's aborted fetus. No, really!' for the shared win.
Cam's Badfic Pet Peeve(s) of the Year: Adults written like teenagers. Sara and Grissom written as picket-fences-twins-and-a-puppy couple. The Doctor written as Theta, the Shagmaker and Father of the Year. London written as Cardiff. English written as the equivalant of 'come-as-you-are' - 'spell-as-you-like-it's-only-fanfic.'
Cam's Fandom Pet Peeve of the Year: Some ships are Canon. Some are not. Some might be. Some are forever trapped in indecision. But whatever yours falls in doesn't make it the Holy Gospel you much preach, or you smarter than people of other ships, or the shining beacon of how true love should be, or every other ship crap or the other million reasons for shipper wanks. Not even religious wars get this silly. Well, most of the time. Some of the time. I think.
Shipping, the new religion, OMS!
Cam's Lust Object of the Year: Christopher Eccleston.
Cam's Other Lust Object of the Year: BBC. Let's have babies together, BBC.
Cam's New Sexy Discovery of the Year: Big ears are love.
Cam's 'Harry Potter Fandom Will Wank Over Anything' Moment of the Year: Blaise Zabini is in the new HP book revealed to be a rather goodlooking fellow, have a rich mother - and dark skin. Most go all right! and enjoy the mental images. Some decide to wank over what a betrayal to Blaise's character this is. Cam wonders how much of a character you can have with only a few name mentions in previous books.
Cam's 'You Got Nothing On Me, al-Qaeda' Award '05 : The US government has spent billions trying to make the US safer against the treath of terrorist attacks. Katrina shows al-Qaeda might as well pack up and go by smacking a whole city. US government and several agencies show strong levels of unskill in dealing with it. Cam surmises that all that worrying about WMDs made them forget we live on the biggest WMD there is.
Note to al-Qaeda, Pat Robertson and Other Religious Twats: This does not make Katrina an act of God/Allah/Giant Spaghetti Monster. It was in fact the act of a massive hurricane in a hurricane region during hurricane season. An act of God/Allah/Giant Spaghetti Monster would be setting His/His/Its Divine Ass upon your religions twatty selves.
Cam's Waaaaaahmbulance Award for Wah-Wah '05: The people of Graf, Austria, marks their displeasure that Arnorld allowed an execution to go through. Like most Europeans, they don't much like teh death penalty. Arnold reacts to this critisism from his birthplace by insisting they rename the stadium that bore his name. The city so does, and also removes him from their websites. It's a a wah-party.
Cam's Mr Flibble Award for Insanity '05: Harmonians. None above, none even close.
Cam's Kosh Award for Sense Making '05: Mugabe declares that Zimbabwe people are 'not tent people' - after his government burned down their houses and made them need new shelter in the first place.
Cam's Pwn Award for Pwning '05: Judge Jones tosses ID out of Dover schools and call it on its non scienceness and "breathtaking inanity".
Cam's Shiny New Fandom of the Year: Doctor Who!
Stories Cam Finished During the Year: 42
Stories Cam Didn't Finish During the Year: 4
Flames Recieved: One. Yay!
Cam's Overall Opinion of the Year: Hmpf.
For 2006 Cam Wants: The trailer-promised snogging and other good Doctor Who scenes! Olympic glory for Norway! World domination! World Cup fun! Mute button on Bush! Good summer weather! Less crap! More hot men! Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant in Adults Only Who Special! More goodfic! Lottory win!

Date: 2005-12-30 03:11 pm (UTC)I have no regrets whatsoever in having started that whole kerfuffle. Best. Wank. Ever.
Cam's Badfic Discovery of the Year: ...'the Doctor is really Rose's aborted fetus. No, really!'
What. The. Fuck.
Cam's Badifc Pet Peeve(s) of the Year: ...London written as Cardiff. English written as the equivalant of 'come-as-you-are' - 'spell-as-you-like-it's-only-fanfic.'
Can I just point out the irony of you having spelt 'badfic' incorrectly there? But as I may ahve mentioned, do you think it should be Cardon or Londiff?
Cam wonders how much of a character you can have with only a few name mentions in previous books.
Actually, he had only been mentioned once previously, at the sorting. Yes, my fandom wins at batshit detail obsession.
Cam's Mr Flibble Award for Insanity '05: Harmonians. None above, none even close.
So seconded.
For 2006 Cam Wants: The trailer-promised snogging and other good Doctor Who scenes! Olympic glory for Norway! World domination! World Cup fun! Mute button on Bush! Good summer weather! Less crap! More hot men! Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant in Adults Only Who Special!
I think I agree with all of these, pretty much. Except the ones I don't give a crap about. And we so need that Adults Only Who Special, yes we do...

I thought Blaise had been confirmed as a guy before HBP? Maybe that was in a JKR interview... Goes to show how much attention I pay.
Learn to care about Norway or I'm never making you a honorary Viking :P

The only confirmation was from translations into languages that required gender specific names. Which gave him as male (except the one confusing early edition that was female, and later changed)
Well, I was more referring to the sport stuff, but I shall try.

Hum. I remember "Pawn to Queen", which spawned some wank on its own, had a female Blaise. But then I know I heard somewhere Blaise was definite male, and that was before HBP.
Your country qualified for the World Cup! What's this about not caring? Tsk.

Date: 2005-12-30 03:49 pm (UTC)I think ahve-have is my variation on that then.
There were a lot of female Blaises around a few years back, most of whom were horrific Mary-Sues. I think even Cassie Claire's trilogy had one. But the male thing I am pretty certain came from a translation which needed a gender specific references, and JKR confirmed male. I think it may have been 2004 some time.
Soccer really ain't my sport. But I was rather pleased about that, I must say.

As you should be - it was very well done. (I know, cos I watched the deciding match.)
