Christmas lists are work!
You wouldn't think it was work to make a list of things you want to get, but it is. It's HARD to remember everything I've thought "I should ask for that for Christmas". And then it's hard to decide what's most important, cause you know you're not getting everything. Hell, I'm probably not getting MOST of my list.
My mother is going to wonder who the flying FUCK is John Barrowman and why are about five CDs with him on my list and why am I so insistant that these various cast recordings have HIM?
Well, if she wants to know, she is going to have to ask me. Then she is going to have to listen to me talk about Torchwood. And then she is going to pull her usual "you have a crush" nonsense.
Which, she would be absolutely RIGHT this time, dammit. She was wrong about Harrison Ford, I swear! I was 14! I was sexually repressed and he's old enough to be my grandfather, I did NOT have a crush! I was obsessed, I'll give you that... but there was way too much of an element of wanting to BE Han Solo, and way too little of wanting to um.... DO Han Solo.
Okay, she was right about David Boreanaz, though.
I think she just likes to think I'm a straight chick instead of a gay guy, and when I have a crush, or when she likes to think I do, she can fool herself into thinking I'm 'normal'. *snort*
I am listening to Sarah Brightman right now. Wow, I never thought I'd be doing that unless it was Phantom. She's not even my favorite Christine, for god's sake. Her Diva album is good, though. Damn you, in store plays! I actually LIKED this one and it was only in the rotation for one month - one month that I was mostly absent! "Question of Honor" and "Beautiful Day" just rock. They have operatic/orchestral bits that I'm not keen on, but the rock bits in the middle just... they're 'made of awesome'. Maybe I should have added this to my Christmas list. Dammit. I guess there's still time, though.
Which reminds me of a thread started by a Torchwood fanfic that ponders what music the Torchwood crew would listen to. I've been thinking about that a lot myself, in addition to "what animals are they" (because that is, being furry, something I ALWAYS think about) and I have no satisfactory answer to either question for any of them. Except that Jack is feline. He just so is, not that I'm, you know, biased or anything. All I know in terms of music is that Owen would roundly despise just about everything in my collection. At least, he'd say he did.
Now I'm going to be thinking of random things I need to add to my Christmas list all the way up till Christmas. I hate that part, where you know it's probably too late now, but oh, there's just one more thing, and it's better than what you already had on your list.
... I should probably start shopping at some point too, shouldn't I?
