I (Bekah) saw a rant on Facebook about how the last two weeks of every year usually just consist of “Best of” lists and “Recap” lists from the year we’re still in. This person wanted to remind us that THE YEAR ISN’T OVER YET! And asked, why are we wishing it away? Well,
- It’s fun to recap
- Like 4 people are at work /doing their regular thing on the internet the last 2 weeks of the year so no need to waste good content, ya know?
- The year IS over- the chance to make 2013 something special has come & gone. You either succeeded or failed. And we might as well look towards 2014 & get excited for a new start.
So, much to the dismay of the person with the rant on Facebook, everyone everywhere is making New Year’s Predictions and we are too! Here is what we think will be happening with the That’s Normal crowd in 2014:
That’s Normal Will Have A Meltdown When Outlander Premieres – Nikki
Considering this has happened almost monthly since our Outlander obsession began, the melt down potential for when the TV show finally premieres is guaranteed.
Lorena and I will literally ascend to Heaven when we see Tom Hiddleston in the broadcast of “Coriolanus” together in January – Jamie W
We will all drown in a river of our collective tears when “Mockingjay Part 1” is released on November 21 – Jamie W
My Favorite Show will probably be canceled- Zeph
I predict in 2014 that I will just get caught up with Once Upon A Time In Wonderland recaps and the series will be canceled.
I predict that Comic Con 2: Electric Boogaloo will have LOTS more real quick cat selfies – Elise
I also predict that my relationship with Channing Tatum will kick back into high gear, become strained due to weight gain and/or facial hair abominations, and eventually right itself. I will also enjoy lots of tacos WHENEVER I PLEASE because I’m a grown woman.
I predict Starz will get more subscribers than they did when Matthew McFayden played the Prior in Pillars of the Earth – Lorena
Obviously, this is why.
I believe that John Krasinski will finally get to host SNL because I’ve been praying for that for over 7 years- Beth
THIS happened, and it’s just time for my prayers to be answered G-Dammit. I mean, dangit.
I predict that I may be able to get Pix to join with me for TN’s Boozy Book Club– Zeph
I may even read the books.
I will get so sick of answering the question “Have you read Divergent/The Fault in our Stars yet?” – Carrie Jo
…that I will start lying (and say “no”, although I read and liked both), just so I won’t have to talk about either book anymore.
BETH: Sam Heughan will “Tom Hiddleston” 2014.

(In case you don’t know what that means, it means SAM HEUGHAN WILL DOMINATE FANGIRLS AND AWESOMENESS ALIKE THIS YEAR).
We may, MAY just talk about our TN mascot Aaron Tveit again -Bekah
Remember this time last year when I wrote about Aaron for the first time, then Nikki wrote that post where TN almost broke Outlander-style because of all the traffic we got? Then Aaron went on that USA crime show that we were so excited about but was so terrible that we’ve basically stopped talking about him altogether? RIP our love for Aaron. I predict it comes back in 2014. If for no reason other than my love for that gif above.
I predict a year of personal optimism – Jamie
Logan and Veronica 4eva
due to the fact that a favorite TV Show (Veronica Mars) actually got made into a movie. When life gives you such gifts, it is hard to be 100% cynical.
I predict that nearly half of the world’s population (mostly the female part) will call in sick for work beginning on 6/10/14 – Katy
Is what I’ll say to my boss
…after coming down with the mysterious “Written in My Own Hearts Blood” virus. The sickness will include the following symptoms: sleeplessness due to reading, hands clenched in ‘holding book’ shape, muscular weakness leading to inability to get up from favorite reading spot, and possible hysterical crying depending on Rollo’s fate. Sickness is predicted to last 2-5 days, depending on how many pages are contained in the virus. On a possibly related note, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood (the 8th Outlander series installment) is set for release on June 10th.
I’m already feeling a little feverish
Cue the obligatory Rob gif:
The year of the Selfie will continue, duh. – Bekah
The selfie didn’t start in 2013, but it seemed to take on a whole life of its own, including our fav hashtag #realquickselfie that started at Comic Con 2013. Who knows what Comic Con holds, hashtag-wise, for us in 2014, but I just know the selfies will continue! (And… I guarantee myself at least 1-2 eye infections in 2014 which forces me to wear my wrong-prescription glasses for a nausea week.)
What do you predict for That’s Normal in 2014?
