I call do-over

[fahye]

For anyone who has ever wondered what it might be like to experience severe menstrual cramps, food poisoning and a nine-hour retail shift in the week before Christmas all at the same time...

This just in: it sucks!

I'm coming to the realisation that I like and dislike my job in the same way that I liked and disliked maths in Years 11&12. Sometimes it all feels perfect because I can do it very well, but beneath the satisfaction of being good at it there's a deep-seated hatred of what it is I'm actually doing.

Ugh. Enough of that. Let's have something more cheerful. Someone posted these magazine scans on torch_wood and I uploaded them myself because I think they are ADORABLE:







AWWWWW, LOOKIT THEM ALL. John Barrowman is wearing the MOST HIDEOUS JUMPER EVER and I love Naoko Mori's shoes and her little knitted dress-thing. And Burn Gorman & Eve Myles have this adorable good-elf, naughty-elf thing going on. Oh, Burn. Stroking that box that looks as though it probably contains a giant dildo. Srsly. What the hell else is that shape.



Yuletiders? The site now has a bright yellow countdown timer on it, which is kind of terrifyingly pressuring. I am going to do my final edit now and then upload.

NO, IANTO, I LOVE YOU EVEN IF THE MAGAZINE DOESN'T Q_Q

!!

um hi so yeah i've been watching it too ain't it awesometastic :?

I was so totally sick of fandom's obsession with Jack/Ianto by the time it actually popped up in canon that I could muster nothing more than an 'eh' for it. I still don't particularly care about the ship. Gwen/Owen has crept up on me and stolen my allegiance, the dirty ho.

haha, my exposure to TW fandom consists of your posts, and scribewraith (my housemate, wot watches it with me). mostly I'm full of squee that they actually said something so blatant on-screen when it was two major characters. We shrieked, and squealed, and shrieked, and it was great. ;3

I cbf reading fic or otherwise engaging in fandom for this show, for some reason. Though I'd like to see more of Ianto having a freaking character that isn't "I ANGST, WATCH ME ANGST, OBSERVE MY MANPAIN, ISN'T IT DEEPLY ANGST-RIDDEN?" cos wow, I just don't care. But he's interesting when he's not bitching. :x

I can't decide how I feel about Gwen/Owen. It's, um. I want to kick Owen in the shins over and over and over again, but golly they're fun to watch.

PLUS ANYTHING BUT GWEN/JACK. ANYTHING. FO PLZ.

I have like, a whole season of Doc Wut to go back and watch so that I'll be up to date for any possible New Torchwood Related In Any Way episodes. :x

LA LA LA I'M SO TL;DR D:

ANYTHING BUT GWEN/JACK

OH MY GOD, I KNOW, RIGHT? Maybe if they had sex once or twice. Then it would be like Gwen was cheating on the person she was cheating with! And that could be cool! Basically I approve of anything that fucks Gwen up more, because she keeps getting more interesting. And I, er, love Owen beyond reason. I am not proud of this.

I have written one fic to date. Fandom went: wtf, where is the Jack/Ianto porn? and said nice things about my use of language and then wandered away in search of stopwatches and desksex.

I'm all for screwing with Gwen's head, SRSLY. She's so CUTE when she's all full of onoez and angst. Eeeee I just want to squish her hed.

Fandom can observe my stuck-out tongue and I'm off to find this fic of which you speak :x

WITH HOW MANY MISSIVES CAN I BOMBARD YOU AT ONCE?

We are the heirs to the glimmering world!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

MANY!

If you didn't live in Australia, there would be a voice message and at least one text message on your phone right now.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

That is okay. You can spam my inbox. Claira has become bereft of high-speed internet and so most of our conversations now happen over the phone.

They are adorable! (Though I, too, wonder where Ianto might be. He's all right and all, but it is weird the fifth main character is not there, you know?) Even if their clothes are all non-matchy, except for Naoko Mori's!

Also, I am glad I am not the only person frightened by the Yuletide clock.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I would have liked to see Ianto, yes. I bet HIS clothes would have matched.

The clock is less scary now that my fic is actually uploaded, but it is still strangely compelling. I keep refreshing the site and watching the number of uploaded fics.

Ianto is the hottest. :( *unashamedly disappointed*
