Happy New Year & Blogoversary! (and Giveaway!)



Hey guys! It's officially 2012 and this year brings many new exciting things. First, today is the one year anniversary of The World of the Spork Master! I'm so stoked about this, because none of my blogs have ever succeeded or lasted this long. I like to think both of these have happened. :D It wouldn't have done either without you amazing people. And because of that, I'm hosting a giveaway for you all. Check it out below, when you're done with this post...or just skip to the end, whatever suits your fancy.

 




I liked this past year because;
  1. I successfully met my goal of reading 35 books this year!
  2. I met my goal to check out 50 new movies...I watched 76. (80, including re-watching.) (I also need to review more of them here....)
  3. I successfully met all of my New Years resolutions!!!! :D
I am looking forward to this 2012 for many reasons;

  1. It is a NEW year! The last three years of my life have been hell, essentially. I want a happy year. :]
  2. I graduate high school!
  3. I start college! (YAY! and AHHH! at the same time. It's a terrifying happiness.)
  4. I turn 18!
  5. I move out of my hometown...which would be exciting if you all knew where it was. 
  6. I can vote! (This is super important to me, especially since the presidential election is this year. :D)

My New Years resolutions include to keep my blog running, finish my high school year the best I can, start college off the best I can, not go too far into debt, and get a job. Those seem a whole lot more serious than my ones that used to be like; get more plushies or buy more shoes. Its scary getting older, peeps.
What about 2011 are you happy about, what are you looking forward to in 2012, and what are your resolutions!? Comment below and I'll share the funniest/most interesting ones later. ;]

Faboulous Favourites: Paranormal

 
We all stumble upon those questions every now and then, "What's your favourite book?" "What's your favourite movie?" Whenever it pops up, I reach a huge dilemma. How can you sort through all the hundreds of books you've read or the films you've watched and find one single story better than all the rest? Impossible! So, Fabulous Favourites is a way to showcase some of my favourites from different categories, and YOURS as well! 

Each post will have a theme of a genre of books and movies; simply submit your favourite title(s) into the Google Doc below and they'll be showcased! 

Upcoming theme: Paranormal

Now, submit away! :D

Harry Potter - Top Five

 
This Friday (or midnight tonight..) marks the end of an era. An era of Harry Potter. While the last book was

published years ago, Harry Potter fans hung on to the fact that movies would still carry the end on for just a little bit lo
nger. Now we've reached the ultimate bittersweet conclusion with the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two.

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and always will be, but to celebrate (though that seems too happy of a word for something so sad to us fans) the last Harry Potter movie, I've created a blog post to share my Top Five favourites of many categories. These will contain both favourites with the movies and the books...and so it begins...
