Do I really have to choose? Because I'm stuck between notyourshot, chocolaticida and unheartedx...
Best LJ comm
Ah, this depends on what you're looking for but I'd say hojascaidas, menteoriginal, mcr_macros, mixinprogress, thefulcrum, toptentunes and we_are_cities.
Best album
Ah, this is HARD for me. Like the lover of music that I am I can't chose, I think I have several best albums because they're all awesome so I think I'll leave here a list of albums that everyone should listen to.
I'm sure there are many more albums you should listen to if you have a nice taste in music but I think it's enough with that. And what can I say, some of the choices really surprised me and someday I think I'll have to open a journal or a comm to post all my music reviews... Then I'll talk about all the albums that are worth listening to. That's my new year resolution.
Best song
This is even harder, trufax. Here goes a list.
Best book
Actually not a lot of books came out this year and I can't say much because I haven't read much lately, I have however read some old books... As a fan of Harry Potter I'm gonna cheat a little 'cause even though I bought and read the book in English in 2007 here in Spain the book came out this year and I didn't really like it much but being the best of the few books that came out this year and I've read, I'll choose Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
Best movie
I am not a big fan of movies but this year a saw some awesome films, I really liked Hancock and John Rambo was a very nicely done action film, We Own The Night was awesome too and Cloverfield and Saw IV had me fixed to the screen from the very first minute until the end, I've watched half of Saw V which is very gorey even though people say it's shit and I've cried with The Bucket List. Most of these films premiered in Spain this year but my choice goes to The Other Boleyn Girl, an awesomely done historical fiction based on the novel of the same name, which tells the story of Anne and Mary Boleyn, respectively second wife and secret lover of Henry VIII of England, how did Anne persuade the king to become his wife after getting divorce from Katherine of Aragon and many more; I think this film has a very good atmosphere and shows (relatively) vert accurately the lives of the people in the Middle Age.
Best fic
Well, actually I thought it was clear but it's not so easy, but yeah I made my choice.

Best fic writer
Well, this isn't much difficult, I can say the best author I've discovered this year is heathermouth, whose fics Scum and Hallellujah made me doubt about the best fic. And she's followed closely by thefiretonight.
Best show I've been too
Estopa. Definitely.
Best band discovery
Jack's Mannequin.
Best TV show
Most definitely, Skins.
Best thing of 2008
Music has been awesome this year, and that's very important to me. And people. Angie and Mar have been so beyond words. The Still Motion has been born. Obama.
Worst news of 2008
December the 22nd, my uncle died at age 32, left two kids, an awesome wife and our hearts shattered to pieces. Cancer took him away from us and our lives.
***
I have to say that this year my brother made me feel so proud and that I also take pride on my fics and originals which have gotten better as the time has gone by and I want to thank Mar, Angie and Carlos, as well as the guys from The Still Motion and infraRIOT! because without their help I wouldn't be standing where I am right now.
