Notes for Gwen Cooper

Don't break alien ships. If an
Alien snogs you, don't snog back.
You can't throttle the snide doctor.

On better days, Jack will smile,
No one will die, the rift behaves.
Everything changes: you can too.

Nice! No one will die, the rift behaves...

Yep.

(On a completely unrelated topic, or not, I'm starting to understand Jack's behaviour in Day one better and better. I mean... with a hand such as this (http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/3889/dw18ti8.jpg) [warning - large image!], who could care about a sex alien monster? I couldn't.)

Glad you liked it!

And hell freezes over...

Thanks for the wonderful link. I like the phrase "she's much more front-foot about the fact" - that's new to me!

Each script 'bigger' than the last? How can you be 'bigger' than "Doomsday"? (And will I be sorry I asked?)

Hands. Yes. Mmm. I should write a story or a ficlet or something about hands. Just look at Barrowman's, too.

And hell freezes over

Theoretically, there must be days when the rift does behave.
As for no one dying... it really depends on the scale, I guess.

As for the link - an UK friend was very excited about getting the last of those magazines yesterday, and when I saw the scans (http://community.livejournal.com/tennant_love/993965.html) I just... understood him. Oooh three days. (Me, I'm very much obsessed by the Casanova atm, but still, the coming Season 3 opening has me all excited too).

Yes. Scottish men and their hands. Hands.
(I also now get some of the comments on the torch_wood comm, about "I will not write slutty fics about Jack and the hand..." They make sense, as hard-to-follow commitments. Or usually hard to follow, I think the RP-ing is draining a lot of my writing inspiration :-S I've not even written my Theatrical Muse response, though I do have an idea.)

Ah well. Enough ramble. Why do I not write these on my own LJ, but prefer posting them as comments on various places?! Weird, the way my mind works sometimes.

'exhausted' RP-ing is more likely.

AND I've made a commitment to restrict my time on LJ (in order to get out of work closer to on time). Which is partly working.

:) I'll try to get back into the habit of posting more interesting goodies. Soon. When I do catch up on everything. *grins*

So how did that message turn me into 'anonymous'? Sorry about that!

'exhausted' RP-ing is more likely.

Hee! Right.

I've made a commitment to restrict my time on LJ (in order to get out of work closer to on time).

Good luck. I should try that.

When I do catch up on everything.

I hope that doesn't relate back to my comment about hell freezing over!

Maybe LJ misbehaving. And no worries :)

Good luck. I should try that.

Thank you. 1 a.m. is way too late, especially when one starts at 8:30. That was week before last - I did have to do something about it. Now if I can keep my pups from getting into too much RP-ing, I should be fine. Might even do a spring cleaning :)

I hope that doesn't relate back to my comment about hell freezing over!

I hope not. I'll make that a no.

Oh, and regarding Easter and cards. Me, I prefer Christmas, although technically Easter is supposed to be a bigger deal.
On the other hand, Easter is the one associated with the return of the Spring (yep, that makes it easier to write a card to people I know are practising atheists), which I love of itself. Just... makes me so sad, the entire passion story. I still don't think we need to kill / lose what we love, to be able to appreciate it. Maybe I'm too much of an idealist or something.

Anyway. The Easter cards post was just a part in my attempt to start collecting addresses for snail-mail cards. I've been neglecting those for a long, long time, and I don't think it's fair (because I do love receiving letters and cards, and I am sure one has to give in order to receive). Feel free to drop your address there, or to me by e-mail - gmail.com, same nickname as here.

It does that. Out of control, like the rift.

1 a.m. is way too late, especially when one starts at 8:30.

I have a similar problem. Yes, I have to be at work at 8:30. If I don't get eight hours sleep per night, I'm a wreck. But on those evenings when I'm caught up in writing something, it can be impossible to get to bed early enough. There's gotta be a solution but I don't know what!

Might even do a spring cleaning :)

Great idea!

I have two basic problems with Easter - the first being the concept; I don't like religious symbols based on torture and death. (It's one of the things that turned me away from Christianity in the first place.) The other is that it particularly bothered me as a kid, that the rest of the world has sunshine and flowers and warm temperatures and we still (usually) have gloomy grey skies, snow on the ground, and cold temperatures. I remember Easter as always being a weekend of miserable weather. We ought to celebrate Easter in May if we really want nice spring weather, but it doesn't work that way.

makes me so sad, the entire passion story.

Me too.

Maybe I'm too much of an idealist or something.

Well, then, so am I.

Okay! Send me yours too, at azurite@rogers.com.

A brilliant take on this one!

All very solid advice. Albeit maybe it needs delivering before day one of a new job! ;)
