A Look Back at... 2013
Dec. 31st, 2013 10:08 pmWith only a couple hours left in this year, let's take a moment to think over the previous year, really let it sink in, and celebrate the highs and mourn the lows that made 2013 so memorable.
Most Cringe-Worthy Youtube Video: No, it's not Ylvis' "What does the Fox say", or Miley Cyrus twerking. It's this clip from a 1981 episode of The Lawrence Welk Show, during which two dancers perform their interpretation of Wilson Picket's immortal hit song, "Land of a Thousand Dances". This clip is responsible for the destruction of more African soul than Papa Legba.
Favorite Youtube Comment About the Preceding: This is the honkiest thing ever recorded. This makes Pat Boone seem funky.
Creepiest Fandom Wanker Moment of 2013: Thanfiction, aka Amy Player, aka Andy Blake, aka Victoria Bitter, aka... a lot of things (former alleged IRA member, former hunter of dark wizards on the psychic plane, former Elijah Woods-wannabee, current total crazy person) inviting emotionally vulnerable youngsters on Tumblr (as if anyone else uses Tumblr) to send him their addresses so he can mail themroofies candy. It's official, y'all. Thanfiction is now the freak who drives around the neighborhood in an unmarked van, offering candy to kids.
The "He Could Hit It" Award of 2013 Goes to...: Dean Ambrose of WWE's The Shield.

Most Eagerly Anticipated Sex Tape of 2014: CM Punk/Myself. Alternatively, CM Punk/AJ Lee.
Least Anticipated Sex Tape of 2014: Kim Kardashian's New Body Parts + Kanye West's O-Face.
Most "Whut...?" Moment of 2013 For Moi: A SJW on fail-fandomanon telling me (a 20-something woman with a functioning uterus and ovaries) that I have no right to an opinion in a debate about reproductive rights/issues. Huh?
Most Pleasant Fandom Surprise of 2013: Seeing my lj flist slowly but surely becoming more active.
Best Schadenfreude Moment of 2013: Anytime a conservative anti-gay politician is caught getting a blowjob from a male escort in a seedy bathroom somewhere.
