A year in review


Hello and welcome to The First Annual Coven Awards.


Oh, they already know they're here - there's a ruddy great sign up there telling them so! Get on with it!
Hush up! I was looking forward to this.
Whatever for? You know what's going to happen.
Well. I...

Oh, for Christ's sakes! Will you two be quiet!
I kind of agree with them. Just get on with it - don't do a big speech or anything.
Right. Fine. I'll get straight to the point, then.


We'll see about that.

Thank you all for coming. Let's get on with the show - after leaving out the first ten minutes...

2006: A year of IDV

January - A few more of the Supernaturals were introduced and the DVD player and I almost came to blows. There was an abundance of swearing because of the DVD player's reluctance to work properly... First time commenters included: Tina, The Lady Muck, Wyndham the Triffid, Piggy & Tazzy, The Merkin and S.I.D.

February - More trouble from that DVD machine, and from familiars and gargoyles. There was an incident with a sexy neighbour, a Wizard of Oz-like drama and IDV taught you how to Walk Through Rain Without Getting Wet. First time commenters included: Tickersoid (nee Steelworker), Brianne, Kyahgirl and Convict

March - A parallel universe disaster! A birthday! And the start of some Supernatural flirting! First time commenters included: Spike, Shiftclick, Frobisher and Beast

April - The month of porn, poo, poems and pesky sisters. Not forgetting the Brown Jelly Babies, of course. First time commenters included: The various Corpses Of Marcus Tal, Fuckkit, Qenny, Ickle_Bro, Miss T (nee Miss Haversham), Dinah, Jay and Dora & Tina

May - Good riddance to Fuckkit and an orbital chase after an errant Broom. First time commenters included: MJ, Midget Arse, NCEFABN, Fewclewz and The Blind Flaneur

June - Vexing vampire related family troubles and airship shennanigans. June was also he month of comment-flirting! First time commenters included: Tim, Snooze, Ken, Awaiting Xtasy, Toby (xxx) and Cyberpete

July - Ah. heat inspired questionning and the 100th post! No regular first time commenters now until November.

August - A book review, an eye full and a holiday

September - Postcards from the edge (of known space), Fuckwittage and a holiday horror!

October - A month of Vampiritis, being stalked by a Porsche-driving, possibly legless, um... stalker, errant time zones, Hallowe'en and a year of Blogging

November - Pictures, cartoon crushes and an unveiling. First time commenters included: Skillz and Mutleythedog

December - Supernaturals Return, disappearance, a brown accident with Father Christmas and The Four Stablehands Of The Apocalypse

And that's it for 2006. Unless I get caught up in another time-travelling accident and have to relive bits of it.

Anyway, from myself, IDV, and my Subconscious, and from the Host and his Subconscious, have a splendid 2007!

  3. Oh dear, the Scissor Sisters were robbed. Madness, bordering Madgeness.

    Happy new years.

  4. Patrick Stewart Forever! Mmm, and Prince Eric...bless you, IDV. You've promised that 2007 will start off for me with dreams of men (I really wanted a better adjective, but nothing was coming except 'unattainable', and that's not what I'm going for).

  5. I have a head ache. Did you hex me? I bet you bloody hexed me didn't you. It couldn't have been the cask wine I drank, I only had a couple of litres.

    Well I would wish you a happy new year but it would be a lie.

  6. Good shout on Amy Wong, but Mononoke could kick her ass seven ways from Sunday.

  7. MJ: Yay! You are!

    Tim: You should've seen the fight in the ladies' afterwards...

    Cyberpete: Yes, definitely - here's to Daniel Craig. Mmmmm...

    Dinah: Me either. 2007 must be The Year Of The Attainable Man!

    Fuckkit: A couple of litres? Or a couple of barrels?

    And it was only a small hex. You'd done most of the damage by yourself by the time I turned up.

    Skillz: She is a trifle clumsy, isn't she? Amy, that is...

Tickle my fancy, why don't you?
