So my friend Liz is coming to visit me in Scotland this weekend. She's staying until Wednesday. She was supposed to come tonight, but her flight was cancelled, so she's coming tomorrow night instead. Is it bad that I'm happy? Probably.

Also, on Monday I went to the mall and there was a 3 for 2 sale on Torchwood books, so I bought all three from ( Read more... )

OMG. So last night, I went to this church in Red Oak, right? And I took Eliana with me, and all you have to do is go up the 875 toward Waxahachie, and turn right where it dead ends (like you're going to Waxahachie), and get on the 35. Only whenever I come back, I always get off an exit too early, or something, so I warned Elli about it, but I was so intent on not getting lost that I ended up going by all the exits for Waxahachie. And then there's not another exit for like TEN MILES. So we ended up in Foreston, or something, and then I was finally able to exit and get back going the other way, only I still go off on the wrong exit, somehow, I don't even know, and I was like, okay, whatever, if we drive this way, we eventually have to hit the 287, right? So we're driving through LITERALLY PITCH BLACK COUNTRYSIDE, only there are a few other cars, so I can't turn my brights on, and Elli starts talking about Texas Chainsaw Massacre and how she wore the wrong shoes, and THEN the low fuel light turns on and I'm like OMG WHY COULD THIS ( ... )

That's so crazy/spooky! I'm glad you're alive and haven't been taken hostage by cannibals!

I don't know which one would work, actually. Because, like, a lot of people wanted Rose back, and now she is. (Aside: Am I the only one who's kind of annoyed that Rose is this series' Bad Wolf/Torchwood/Mr. Saxon? Because, like, how unintriguing is that, since we already know that she's coming back and stuff. It's like if Torchwood had been in Series 3 instead of Series 2, after the first series of Torchwood was on, because we'd already have known about Torchwood, you know? I guess I was just hoping for ... a better kept secret or deeper mystery or ... something...)

I know! I was like, dude, at least if I were in Wales, Torchwood could save me; now I'm going to die in the random countryside of stupid Texas. :P

True story, I guess, but I think that's because he's in love with Rose himself, so he's more willing to make exceptions/find ways around his own canon. :P (Yeah, no, I could see that. It's like, even if it were just references to her, we'd already know, but when we see her, it's like, okay, just bring her back already instead of this stupid stringing us along. Although I have to say, after the explosion of OMG ROSE!!!!!!! on my flist after the last arc, I didn't expect to have to go back and rewatch that part to see it. I was way too on edge about Donna being trapped with the Sontarans and such to even notice, and yeah, I'm watching on an iPod, but it was like, three seconds. I guess I was expecting it to be a bigger deal and to like, find something out, you know?)

So true! I almost wish I had the alien disease just so Torchwood could come cure me! Except I'm in Scotland, so I'd probably just end up with creepy Archie from Torchwood Two. So maybe it's good that my sore throat went away...

You do know RTD is gay, right? I like to think he's more in love with Ianto and wants to put him in everything!

... Okay, so I know that's not true, but it should be! (No, seriously, either just bring her back completely or wait until the finale. We already know she's coming back, you don't have to keep throwing it in our faces. I actually thought I imagined it in the last episode, and then on the website there was this clip titled 'Rose', and I was like, "WTF, WOT?" And then, yeah, it was all of three seconds and I was just like, "You may as well have not even had that in there. Either bring her back or don't!" ARGH ( ... )

lol. That would still sort of be awesome if the creepy Archie dude actually came. Haha.

And dude, I knoooow. I phrased that badly. But yeah. It's hard to explain. (Yeah. Just... yeah.)

Aww, that sucks! But yeah, she can just get over it. Or you could watch it while she's sleeping, or something. :P

Dude, also, go here and try to listen to 'My Favourite Coat' and then tell me you don't reallyreally want to make an angsty Jack fanmix. 'Cause seriously.

Eh, sorry; HTML is apparently not my friend

That's an amazing Jack song! (How long d'you give it before it turns up in every Jack fanmix on the site?) But seriously, you should make an angsty Jack fanmix. I was going to make a Doctor fanmix like, a month ago, but I always lose interest halfway through my mixes and never finish them. Plus I can't do cover art, so...

Oh, speaking of which, I seriously need to send you my edited 'Doctor' version of 'My Back Pages' because I'm so, so proud I figured out how to do it. And the song is perfect for the Doctor.

(also, icon love!)
