Oh yes, more fanfic. I have a lot of reading to do yet about my favorite two guys, like you don't know.
Oh I hope your year is so much better! You are new and wonderful friend. So glad we have met.
Sleep well tonight my friend.
Maybe 2012 will be a better year for both of us.
:D

Date: 2012-01-01 12:17 pm (UTC)There have been a lot of nature programms on recently with penguins, and I keep thinking about penguin Ianto, imagining him doing those pair-bonding displays and Jack hurriedly researching what he's doing, then joining in - you know, where the two penguins strike matching poses and stand quite still. It makes me giggle!

Date: 2012-01-03 06:24 pm (UTC)I like one-shots, many are quite quick to read which is good when I have limited time. I don't have alot of time for reading complete series at the moment. When I start reading one, I just want to keep reading until it's finished which isn't a good thing when I have a lot of things I need to do. I can get lost in my reading and lose all track of time!
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 10:39 pm (UTC)I had an idea it might be that, but I wasn't sure.
I like those too. Sometimes I am just too tired to read a long one or sometimes I lose track of them. If I have fanfic writers as friends I can keep up with new stuff through my email. I have it set up to tell me when people have commented on a post that way I want lose people. Most people probably do this too so why am I going on about it?... :)
I wish I had more time to go read old ones of friends who have them archived somewhere. Some I really like.

Date: 2012-01-06 08:08 am (UTC)Been watching COE on a disc my husband got me today too. I want the blu-ray copy. I know...why am I depressing myself? lol! I've been crying on certain parts.
Such good acting even on the horrible Day 4. I love to take captures which I won't be able to do when I get the blu-ray copy. :( I need 2 copies of all the Torchwood DVD's! Expensive.

Date: 2012-01-06 12:32 pm (UTC)Have you tried taking Omega 3 capsules daily? I'm back on taking them again and my migraines are less frequent and not as severe. I'm taking 500mg once a day.
I refuse to watch CoE - it depressed me too much the first time, destroying everything that still existed oif the Torchwood I loved. Jack & Ianto seemed completely out of character most of the time and most of the plot didn't make sense - the moment I started thinking about it, it all fell apart.
I've started a New Year Resolution fanfic-reading project to read one complete, shortish series a week - care to join me? I'll post about which series I'm reading each week, then probably post to say whether I enjoyed it! Some will be recent ones, some will be older, but I'm hoping to read close to 50 this year.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-06 07:32 pm (UTC)I know, don't know why I watched some of COE again. I really did think there was some good acting done, but just too sad. Also, I got so furious (again!) at Jack for being so cold to Ianto all the time. The old Jack never would have done that...not that I remember. He was so caught up in "himself" over the past and became hard and uncaring toward him and not toward Gwen "again" it seemed that way to me.
Why was he so upset at Ianto loving that they were referred to as a "couple?" The nicest Jack was to him was when they were dying and then it was too late....and it really didn't make sense. All of a sudden the caring Jack returns because Ianto is dying! Jack suddenly cares...maybe loves Ianto and won't admit it even now at the end. Dumbass! or... dumbass writers! I believe it was Gareth who said he convinced the writers to let Ianto say "I Iove you" to Jack. Of course they won't let Jack say it back!
I actually started watching it to take some good captures even though the story sucked....then started getting into it again then got mad and cried. The only reason I wanted to buy it on bluray was because I love the characters so much...not Gwen so much, occasionally I do (I like the kick-ass Gwen), but still pissed that she always survives and I know she will in any future stuff, it is obvious!...while everyone I love will DIE!
I even watched Season 4 because I still love Jack dammit!...even though I don't know why?...somehow I still think he has been hurt so much in his life that that is why he does such stupid things when it comes to showing his true feelings. He is vain and gorgeous, but funny at times and I just can't let him go, but without sweet Ianto it still feels empty. Ianto just took his crap and still loved Jack in COE anyway. Ianto was a much better person, I think, than Jack can ever be, but then again Jack has improved from when he was a con-man, I have been told. Ianto would have died for Jack, and in a sense did. :**(
Oh yes and I do think a lot of it didn't make sense + Jack having to re-grow himself?...Grossed me out and made me hurt watching it. I did not watch any of that part when I was taking captures. Oh I never saw it on TV. Only found out about the show after it through a post here, went to Youtube and thought I have to buy the DVD's!
Why do I torture myself watching that crap after S1 and S2? Why do I still love Jack? He too pretty I guess. LOL! Ok shutting up about that now. You want to hit me now I know for talking about it. I'm sorry and I talk/type too long, but you knew that by now.
Going back to watching the first two seasons and reading, I hope, a lot of fanfic this year in-between taking care of my family.
My house is so dusty; I hate housework!...I am the queen of procrastination! (did I spell that right?)
no subject
Date: 2012-01-06 08:44 pm (UTC)I agree about Jack, though I really think the problem with the characterisation in CoE was down to RTD trying to fit the Torchwood team into a pre-existing script that he couldn't get made otherwise, so he was twisting the characters to fit the plot instead of building the plot around the established characters. That, and he pretty much threw continuity out the window. There was some very good acting, but the writing and plotting (I use the term loosely) were very bad.
I hate housework too. I figure the dust is fine as long as I don't disturb it, lol! We're still in a mess post-renovation, but I can't seem to gather the energy to do anything about it!
no subject
Date: 2012-01-06 09:21 pm (UTC)I feel the same way about dust. I can't remembered when I "really" cleaned the house good and some parts are so bad it is embarrassing...really. No one is allowed in this house right except the 3 of us. lol! Well not really, but I hate it. I'm not really a slob, just feel overwhelmed a lot of the time. Need to do the 15 minute thing where I pick one part and clean it for 15 minutes and rest and so on.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-06 09:29 pm (UTC)I do need to start getting things sorted out, but I have low energy levels in winter and anyway, it's not like anyone ever visits. Mum doesn't like visitors. She'd rather just sit and watch TV all day, then complain that she never has time to do any of the things she wants to do. *rolls eyes* If she didn't watch TV all day, she'd have plenty of time to do the things she claims she wants to do.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-06 09:56 pm (UTC)Oh man that sounds so hard doing that kind of hard work, and with low energy. Believe me, I understand about low energy, well it goes with my Bipolar Depression.
Can I ask what causes your knees and hips hurt? I know you said it is from a health problems. Sounds awful!
no subject
Date: 2012-01-06 10:42 pm (UTC)I spend as much time as I can on the computer, but I still get my jobs done. I have my own schedule I keep to, that way I get to do what I want, but what has to be done gets done too.
I really must stay away from ebay - I just bought some more crystals and I really shouldn't have. Sometimes I just see something and I know that I have to buy it before someone else does, otherwise I'll regret it and be kicking myself. They're just so pretty. And anyway, Carnelians are supposed to be good for arthritis, Fuchsite increases flexibility and Kyanite is a natural pain reliever, while Fluorite is good for boosting the immune system. So really I'm just treating some of my health problems! =D
no subject
Date: 2012-01-07 05:40 am (UTC)You have such a great attitude about it. Oh I am glad you have a good treatment so you get some relief. :) I whine like a baby about my problems. Got the whining from my Mom I think. lol! (yeah, I'll blame her.) *Grin*
I salute you on getting your work done. I manage the clothes washing and dishes most of the time. lol!
Crystals help your health problems? Confused.
I used to buy stuff all the time off ebay. I miss it. In too much debt to buy much right now....mostly from my husband though I shouldn't pick on him about it. Long awful story...won't go into it.
We're still together and that is the amazing part. :) Maybe not wise to get two mental patients together. LOL!

Date: 2012-01-08 07:14 pm (UTC)I am like that with candles. Candles are my thing, scents like vanilla in a pretty blue candle holder, calms me down, makes me relax. A soft blue is my favorite. I like other soothing scents too.
I have used different relaxation techniques like the candles, relaxation tapes, and self-hypnosis along with 100 pills, ok kidding, not that many. 50? *grin*
Self-hypnosis is something I learned from a Pyschiatrist, such a good man. It is "real" hypnosis, not that silly crap you see on TV with someone staring at a watch or something. I just sit with my eyes closed and in my case I liked to listen to a DVD with ocean waves hitting the shoreline and imagine myself floating in the water.
I would take some deep breathes and count backwards from 10,9, say to myself... let go, 8,7, letting go more, by 1 I am suppose to be completely relaxed. It doesn't work at first, but with practice I could calm myself down completely. I have had panic attacks too. I think it would help with that also. I needed it because I am so stressed, stress I mostly put on myself with constant worry about everything you can think of + ...I can worry for you if you like. :D
It causes a lot of my health problems I think, some physical ones like I had IBS. for years, now migraines, anxiety, TMJ, etc. I feel like a nutcase. I have been diagnosised with just about everything!...just put me in the mental hospital and leave me there! Don't worry, I am not dangerous to anyone except possibly myself.
O-KAY I've never had delusions and paranoia. lol! Thank goodness! Just the worry disease and depression mostly.
We all have something that we love and spend time on. Nothing wrong with that though I really need to get off this computer and get some more work done. I have decided today if at all possible, I am going to clean some in my dust-ball bedroom and well I have to wash clothes no matter what. Clothes first, Alex goes back to school tomorrow. He and I are running out of stuff to wear. Michael can wait...hee!

Date: 2012-01-08 08:51 pm (UTC)Yeah, I've had IBS for many years, migraines too. Really NOT fun =(
Mum won't allow candles in the house, but I like certain scents that can help me relax. I love honeysuckle, I find that helps me when I'm feeling rough. Lavender is great when I have a migraine. I have the essential oils and I just sniff from the bottles! I have another one, a blend for relaxation - Lavender, Chamomile and Clary Sage, that's very pleasant and calming. I still use my crystals as well, I sometimes just need something to hold onto and the polished or tumbled ones are so smooth and inviting to hold.

Date: 2012-01-09 05:33 am (UTC)Lavender helps migraines. I need to try that. I don't think I have had one since I was a kid. Weird time to have them. Doctor's say it is possible for them to come back.
Finally figured out I have a urinary tract infection today, wasn't sure at first, but it really started hurting today.
I started this post around oh, 4 hrs ago and had to leave to watch my husband's and I's favorite show I was telling you about NCIS.
Never got back till now. lol! I'm going to bed. Talk to you later.

Date: 2012-01-10 12:04 am (UTC)They are going to culture my urine and should know some results by Friday. I hope I can keep from worrying too much unitl then. If it is something bad, they will refer me to a Urologist. OH YAY!= insert Ianto sarcasm here.)
I'm so tired. I want to start a new post with this in it. Maybe we can start a new thread there. I may copy and paste some of what I told you because for once it seems hard to type. Oh, I hate cranberry juice. lol!...though I do love cranberry sauce. :D
I'm drinking water, peeing my brains out and I am NOT happy. Sorry, in a not so happy mood right now. I bet you're not here, probably sleep time in your part of the world. :)

Date: 2012-01-10 12:19 pm (UTC)I LOVE cranberry juice, but sometimes my stomach doesn't. Same with most things I like, unfortunately. I love anything cranberry related, including dried cranberries that I buy to snack on. Right now though, I just can't face food of any kind. I'll eat something later.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-10 01:42 pm (UTC)I think I could eat cranberry sauce straight out of the can. I'm grossing you out? I love it with Turkey and Dressing, we have in the states on our Thanksgiving Day.
