I like your icon, I never have been able to make them, What program do you use? This one is one that never really fits a comment I make but I love the icon, it's from a show called Nevermind the Buzzcocks from when John Barrowman was a guest (he plays Captain Jack on Doctor Who and Torchwood and is totally hot, I am in love with him) I'm not sure if I ever forced you to watch this before but it's short and really funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw1kbHx15kw

There is a TARDIS watch I would love to get off Ebay soon, I saw a few QAF watches I liked but opted to get a custom made Italian Charm bracelet made instead with quotes and pictures from the show, total for the custom one was like 25 bucks and that is great considering if you buy one charm at the mall you're going to spend 15. I actually have 3 total that I have put together from ebay wins. one all QAF and 2 that define me. I really want to get another custom one with TW and DW on it.

And yeah some of the friends I have made here I consider better friends then people I know IRL.

Thanks I'm glad you like it, I love that scene from 509 and I use Photoshop for all my art work, that icon is my 902 Ben/Michael one I have made..lol...
I love yours....I giggled when I read it.
I watched Dr Who when John Barrowman was on it actually, cause I think he is hot as well. I am actually old enough to remember watching the original Dr Who (William Hartwell), showing my age here...lol...
I will watch that clip, thank you for the link.
Your charm bracelet sounds amazing, I would love a QAF one like that, I have a bit of QAF stuff, like a gorgeous Ben/Michael wedding day magnet and of course the QAF book, which Hal actually signed a pic of himself as Michael in it for me, cause I won a t-shirt designing competition for SparksNation New York AIDS Walk this year, I simply treasure it.
I want money.....lol....there is so much I see I want to buy...
And I agree with friends on here as well, it's nice being able to be yourself with your obsessions and people don't think you are weird.

Yeah it's always great when people don't think you're weird. I mean I know I am but it's so neat to be accepted.

I didn't get to watch any of the original DW (first because I am 26 and also because my brother dislikes English accents for some reason and would have beat me if I started to watch it when he was still home). I did however see a few with Peter Davison (five) I actually recorded the first episode of Torchwood on BBCA and have been hooked on that one since, but then I wanted to know Captain Jacks story so I was only going to watch the DW episodes he was in and started with the Empty Child (the first with him and it was the one set during the blitz with the boy who turned everyone into gas mask people) and after watching that episode I was hooked on DW. It was actually written by Steven Moffat he does the best episodes. I ended up downloading all of TW and DW and watched S1 of TW and S1 2 and 3 of dw in about 2 weeks and have since hooked my mum. :)

I was always a B/J shipper but your stories really made me like M/B, I always liked Ben but Michael used to rub me wrong but now after reading some of your stuff I see him differently :) I think that is one of the signs that you are a great writer that you can turn a Michael disliker into a liker.

I really like the charm bracelets I have. my friend had one and then I saw a QAF charm and had to have it so of course I had to build a bracelet for it to go on and then I found the custom ones and the rest is history :)This is the first one I bought. http://cgi.ebay.com/QUEER-AS-FOLK-Rainbow-Italian-Modular-Charm-9mm_W0QQitemZ370003928581QQihZ024QQcategoryZ43051QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I watched Peter Davidson as well and liked him it in. I think we are a season behind here in Australia, I don't actually watch TV very often, so not really up with things but I do know that Torchwood has been on and seemed to be popular from what I have heard.
I'm glad you don't dislike Michael as much as you did and thank you so much for your words about my writing. I know there are a lot of Michael haters out there, which I have never really understood. I think he is very strong, considering his husband and son are both positive, I'm sure that would weigh heavily on his mind, even if he didn't show it. I believe all he ever wanted was a home and a family and with Ben and then Hunter he got that.
Sorry I tend to ramble when the discussion turn to them. I just loving getting into Michael's head and feelings, which is strange cause I adore Ben just as much, but seem to connect with Michael more for some reason.

Ohhh...I want that bracelet *looks at credit card balance and shudders*..maybe after Xmas, I have to decide whether to continue with Uni or find a job, money is a major problem at the moment as I said.

I know I'm weird as well don't worry. my kids are telling me that constantly, especially my daughter,having a mother who runs a website like my Ben and Michael one and who writes what I do is not the norm I don't think..lol..but at my age I have decided its all about me now...

with DW they always do a special called Children in need and it's a 7 minute episode and this years there was a problem with the TARDIS shields and so somehow five ended up on the ship with ten, it was really cute and they totally outed the Master. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn_NDKNlUa8

I agree Michael is very strong, esp for having to deal with all the problems and emotions that come with having almost your entire family being positive esp with Uncle Vic and all. I used to really like him, but sometime around the time Hunter showed up he started treating Brian badly and Brian is my favorite so of course I instantly went defensive for him against Michael. I personally loathed Dr Dave. Blech. For part of season one I had wanted Brian and Michael to get together because I knew it was what he wanted and I could relate to that and then I also know exactly why he latched on to David like he did. And as much as I adore Brian I relate really well to Teddy. I am totally season 1-4 Teddy, and in a way that scares me a little bit because of everything he went through, other then my post s5 fic with Ann a series of drabbles about Ted was my longest written thing.

And no worries about getting carried away talking about them, I do the same, however I'm three times as bad because not only do I have my QAF obsession rattling around in my head I also have DW and TW. BTW if you ever get a chance you should see TW, it really is good. (Don't tell anyone but since I have the patience of a gnat and no money I downloaded them all..)

I know what you mean about the money issue, I have a job but am not able to go at this time because of my medical issues. I am thinking of saying screw getting better because I need to pay bills. What do you want to go to university for?

And it's cool that you don't worry about what you kids say and let that deter you from writing. My mum didn't get as hooked on QAF as I did, but she did watch it with me and at the end she liked the show. As for what other people think because of my piercings and tattoos I had to forgo caring what others thought (although sometimes I still do and it doesn't help that I have no self-esteem, again s1-4 Teddy here)

I have to admit I have not seen season 1 for the reason of David. I just hate him, without knowing him, but I know he treated Michael badly and the thought of seeing them together makes me want to vomit. But I will watch it because I want to see the storyline for all the others, I will just shut my eyes and ears when Michael and David together, I am a complete Ben/M shipper.I like Ted as well, I think he got some shit storylines but I liked the way he and Brian established a friendship in season 5. I adore Em, I like Mel, I dont like Lindz, I am not a Debbie fan, I like Brian, Justin is ok...I think that covers everyone.
I will try and watch Torchwood next time it is on and let you know what I think of it.
I have just finished a semester of Multi-media and have to decide if I can afford to continue, I want to and I want to do a graphic degree as well, I really love being at school, and I hated it as a kid.
Yeah well, I have decided that its time for me, neither of my kids have watched the show except for clips every now and then if they have been here when Ive been watching it, which I do a lot, but usually on PC cause we only have one TV.
My son went to a bar in Tokyo a while ago with a gay friend of his and he said there were huge pictures of all the cast on the walls, he recognised Ben/M from some art I had shown him.
I think everyone has self esteem issues of some sort, but as long as you are happy with who you are, thats all that matters.
Thank you for letting me ramble, and Im glad I only have one obsession.

[kittykat2305.livejournal.com]

I have seen all the seasons many times each, with season 1 I now tend to fast forward anytime David is on, I just can't stand the guy and I have to admit it partly comes from his character and also from interviews I have read with Chris Potter and he was just an ass in the show and irl. I love Em, Teddy and Brian oh and Vic. Love Ben, like Michael and Justin, would totally spit on Ethan if ever given the chance (then after I have kicked him and spit on him of course I would ask for his autograph but only because he was on the show) and I like Mel but didn't like Lindsey, the pushy snobby demanding bitch. And I have to say I liked Deb at first but then read some fics that painted her in a bad light and I have to say I hated how she treated Brian sometimes.

And I was happy that Brian and Teddy became such good friends and that Brian helped him and trusted him.

I hated school I was always tormented and picked on and sometimes think I would like to go back as who I am now as I think it would be different. I hope you get to finish school esp if it's something you enjoy. How old are your kids? I heard that QAF was big in Japan, that's cool that he recognized them, my brother has never seen the show but could pick out the actors on the show from a lineup because of my babbling and pictures in my journal.

And you can always ramble at me, sometimes I stink at responding and sometimes I have issues staying on track of what I am talking about but I like talking to you, you are nice and not cranky when I talk about DW and TW. :) BTW love that icon. .

[foreverbm.livejournal.com]

Yes I agree re Chris Potter, he is a homophobic ass and treated Hal like shit from a lot I have read as well
My probs with Deb is the way she treated Ben when she found out he was positive and that scene when she was talking to Vic and said she didnt want Michael to end up like him, how could she say that, you could see how much that hurt Vic. I also have probs with the fact she kept Michael from knowing his father. I think she is very self centred and manages to turn everything into about her. I think she treated Brian badly on occasions as well, as well as a lot of the others. We seem to agree on everyone else which is cool. End of rant on Debbie.
I hated school as well, I never fitted in and left the moment I turned 15.
My daughter is 27 and my son turned 26 last week, he teaches English in Japan, hes been there nearly 5 years now, my daughter lives here in Perth, which is one of the reasons we moved here from New Zealand, otherwise we would never see our kids.
Thanks for letting me ramble, I dont mind you rambling about anything, its nice getting to know you and good we seem to be on line at the same time sometimes, its nearly 7pm here and I am usually on all day and half the night, I live on my PC either making art or writing.
