- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

My questions are from my future podcast co-host, nix_101

#1 - What do you love about living in aussie land? I'm sure most people will expect me to say the weather.... the weather is nice, sometimes, but I hate summer. Forgive me if I don't like nearly 6 months of temperatures ranging from 30-45 degrees. That aside, I do love the beach, the bush, a lot of the cute and furry animals and the laid back people. But sadly, there's alot of things I don't like about this country, hence why I'm fine about living in the UK for 6 months. Maybe I might answer this question once I've been to the UK, because right now, I've never been overseas... and it's usually when you've been to another country when to appreciate the country you live in more. I think I'll miss Chicken Salt on chips through, I've heard the UK don't have it... and seriously it's like one of the most awesome things ever!

#2 - Do you like Tim Tams? Yes, but I don't love them. I'll eat them if they are offered, but I rarely buy them anymore. I think this just comes from the fact that I kind of used to eat them ALL. THE. TIME. in large quantities when I was a teenager.

#3 - How did you get into podcasting? Warning.... long reply.
I think it came about from going to Supanova (a con over here in Australia) but once I started cosplaying and such (from 2006 onwards) I started to miss seeing the panels and things I wanted to, so I would download and listen to the podcast recordings of these panels later, then I started listening to the podcast that the people who recorded these panels put out (Cool Shite on the Tube), where I heard them talk about a Doctor Who podcast called Doctor Who Podshock whom did this thing where they would do live shows over the net reviewing Doctor Who episodes as they went out. I listened to the series 3 shows, then decided that the next one they did... I would join in. So I went on the 2007 Christmas Special review show, got a taste of it, then discovered CIA, another podcast recorded on the same day a little later on the same site, where they were talking about series 2 of Torchwood as it was being broadcast, so I joined in. Became a regular on CIA, made friends with the other regulars, kept going on Podshock when they did the series 4 review shows, and eventually got so into it I throught (after having audio issues during the live show reviewing 'The Stolen Earth') of starting to record my own reviews and stuff with the software I had due to being a cosplayer. (Mixcraft - which I got to record my skits) That turned into The Wailing Fangirl Podcast my own podcast I started by myself, but eventually got my friend Katherine to co-host with me.
Still go on Podshock, now go on The Cultdom Collective (with all the same people from CIA, once that finished) and do my own podcast whenever I can, recently it's been weekly. Lots of fun, especially going on Cultdom at 'silly-a-clock' (ranges from 5am-7am for me) and recording The Wailing Fangirl (a name suggested/or at least spurred on by The Tin Dog Podcast) And I hope to continue it all on a while to come.

#4 - What are your plans for when you vist the UK? Lots! xD A visit to Cardiff is most certainly on the cards. Possibly stalking the filming crews of Doctor Who (and maybe Torchwood if rumors I hear are true about filming starting in February) Other than that, lots of running around Cardiff, taking photos, and being generally nerdy, oh and having a cosplay photo shoot there as well. Hope to visit there more than once, but we'll see. Meeting up with heaps of peoples from podcasting and livejournal land. Visit some family as well, especially my cousin if she's still living there. Go to Blackpool and run around being really really stupid. Stop by Manchester to visit my podcasting buddy daveac in Hyde (yes he lives in Hyde! ^_^) attend heaps of conventions, go to lots of book signings, watch series 5 of Doctor Who on telly! and lots more I haven't throught about yet. I'll be getting a job, so stuff will have to work around that, but I also want to travel to New York while I'm there, France maybe as well as hopefully (maybe) Florida, to visit my other podcasting buddy Ian, and thank me for giving him the change to talk to GDL over the phone in person. I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now.

#5 - What time would you visit in history, if given the chance? I'm really not sure... all I can think of right now is to visit the UK in the 1970's, see if it was as awesome as my dad says it was... at least I know the music was awesome! Also while I was there, I'd go to the BBC and steal/make copies of all the 60's Doctor Who before they are destroyed/taped over. Surely the universe wouldn't implode if I did just that.


IN OTHER NEWS!!!

WATERS OF MARS WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to Episode 15 A and B of The Wailing Fangirl Podcast to here my throughts

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out. (:

( ummm... i like disco )

So, due to the fact that I'm going to Gallifrey 21 in LA next year, with my three friends whom together we form the high council of our Doctor Who fan/cosplay group "The Gallifreyan Time Love Brigade" I throught it would be niffy if I made us armbands/badges to wear at the con itself.

So I've been designing logos for the group, and this is one I came up with last night based on a vector I did of some Gallifreyan Writing

So, I'm asking opinions. Like? Dislike? Any other suggestions of what I can do?

In other news my pleather finally arrived from America!

( YAY PLEATHER OF SMEX )

I can finally start making my Donna JE coat for Gallifrey 21 as well.
Oh and guess who's been announced yesterday as a guest for the con?
Louise Page, costume designer from Doctor Who series 2-4, and she's going to be a judge at the cosplay comp that I'm entering in a costume she designed. I'm both excited and nervous at the same time, especially with the crack!skit we have planned so far.

Also, in other random news, I went for another job interview on Thursday, for Sheridan... they sells towels, sheets and other such bollocks, but it's looking promising and hopefully I'll hear from them on Monday. *crosses toes*
FRACK! I need a job!
But on my way to the interview I found this and loled. x-posted on ihazastopwatch

And that's it.... frack I'm bored. Saving money is boring :(

I made Icons! Lots of icons. I surprise myself sometimes. xD

I just talked to Gareth David-Llyod.
I am so full of squee! ^_^

My friend is attending the Hurricane Who convention in Orlando Florida right now, and I'm also on live on the Cultdom Collective podcast, and he managed to hand his phone to Gareth and let me talk to him for about 20 seconds. I LOVE YOU IAN!!!!!!
Listen to Episode 14 of the Cultdom Collective here (once we finish recording of course) to hear me squee. Amasingly I think I was rather collected, somewhat xD

Look who arrived in the mail today ^_^



Myfanwy has a Tardis... and Dark Chocolate
I need to stop spending money, like now T_T but she didn't cost much luckily through

In other news.... I looooooooooovvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee my new camera
My dad has pretty much given me his old Digital SLR Nikon D70 that he brought himself for work a few years ago and has since been given a newer better camera from his work so he doesn't need this one anymore.
So now it's 'mine' xD MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Taking it to the UK with me, so I'll be able to take epic decent photos of Cardiff, cosplay stuff and everything else while I'm over there. *does happy dance*

Went on a cosplay photo shoot recently with some friends to try it out, and it was awesome.
Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour is an awesome place for a photo shoot for most series.
I'd love to have a Doctor Who/Torchwood shoot on the island, because there's lots of old buildings and warehouses, tunnels and piles of rubble.

( Photos cut for size )

Having trouble sleeping... as usual, when a funny throught hit me ^_^
Lying awake, thinking about nerdy things, mainly me going to Gallifrey 21 next year in LA and after a night of watching Christian Cook on Demons (ok show... I mainly watch for the eye candy and to laugh at Philip Glenister going from bad American accent into Guv talk) I gave up on the attempt to sleep for a while, so I went on to my laptop opened up ebay with a plan.

I'm going to buy myself a UNIT cap. I have a thing for them... it's rather weird.
Weirdly, it's only the red ones, I like the older ones (especially on Benton ^^) but the red ones just. do. it. for me... somehow, and yes call me kinky xD

So I found this which made me laugh, and then I found this and then I lost it XD

Both don't cost that much which is good, because I need to save money, and while I'll just be wearing it for fun at Gallifrey, I throught of my in process Ianto cosplay and giggled to myself. Oh yes, I will be taking UNIT Ianto photos at some point xD

And with that last throught, off I go to try to sleep again.
Nighty nite.

Icons made for round 10 over at tvfilm20 it's finally Doctor Who tiem again!
Been a while since I've iconed Doctor Who xD, funnily I found myself still making Torchwood icons during making this set (from the Stolen Earth/Journey's End so it's still Doctor Who technically) I couldn't help myself.

I made another 50 icons at the same time, I found it hard picking icons to fit the themes and such, so expect those next post

Tiny post... just want to get these out there.
Made for round 9 over at tvfilm20 but didn't end up in the final 20.
So here are the rest... there will still be largish post coming with wallpapers and ranting, but I can't be bothered at present, next time

Icons made for round 9 over at tvfilm20 I got Torchwood this time.
I decided to restrict myself to only series 3, so it was a little changelling, but I think at the same time, it was easier this way. Even made a few icons that didn't even make it in the final 20... partly because I wanted to keep this batch major spoiler free... expect those next post.

Theme win @ round 8



Working on my next claim in round 9, this time I got Torchwood. ^_______^
I thinking of centering it on COE, cause I got so many pretty pictures, but I might change my mind.

But expect a COE centric graphic heavy and rant filled post coming soon

( It's a brand new day, the sun is high, all the birds are singing cause you're going to die! )

Funny how things like TV related grief works

( Spoiler-ish random musings under cut )

My PSP died today T_T
I dropped my bag walking around Hay street in Sydney, throught nothing of it, but when I got on the train on the way back, went to turn on my PSP and finish listening to Podshock, when I realised that the earphone jack had moved.
Tried to fix it, then realised no sound was coming out of the thing at all T_____T

I've lost my only mp3 player and I can't buy another one til Monday (and that's after using the money I was supposed to be spending on my passport (but since I don't need that til next year, I'll put it off a paycheck))

So goodbye Light, you were a great piece of portable fun for the last three years.

Also speaking of other things I've loved for 3 years

( Major Major Torchwood Children of Earth episode 4 spoilers under cut )

Say hello to Oliver!




Me and Oliver with the two hearts of the Time Love Brigadetimelovebrigade
My Adipose finally has a name.
I brought it way back in December 2008, but held off naming it.

Why, you might ask?
I wanted to do it (the naming) differently... and since I knew me and my friend were going to be cosplaying as Donna and Jack in June, and we had joked about my Adipose being 'their' baby, made from Jack's chin and Donna's boobs (that last part I made up) I figured we would name the Adipose, together on the day of the con, in our costumes and that would be it's naming day ^_^

Yes, call me weird... I don't care ;P

Well, naming day was two weeks ago now, June 28th, and we flipped a coin (to decide on boy or girl) and then brainstormed names.
There were many suggestions, I liked them all, so my Adipose has the longest name I think anything of mine has.

It's full name is Oliver Addy "Oh nom nom nom" Harkness-Noble

Oliver was suggested because it sounded like Ovary and Addy because it sounded like Adipose and Adric.... I can't even remember why the "Oh nom nom nom" was suggested, but I liked it because it's silly and I think "Oliver Addy "Oh nom nom nom" Harkness-Noble" has a strangely cool ring too it.

I only realised today, that we never got a photo of both Jack and Donna together with Oliver, there's plently of photos with me holding Oliver. Oh wells...

Full con report of Supanova will be up eventually, with lots of photos ^_^

In other news.... Torchwood is on tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to see how Jack and Ianto's relationship has "developed" *squees like insane slash fangirl*
I'm so happy with UKTV I could kiss it. Of course trusting that they don't cut anything out and stuff, *evil glares* I can handle commercial breaks (just), but not them cutting stuff.
I'm liking not having to rely on downloading it to see all of it.... my tiny 20 gig limit can't handle that. I might still end up leeching it off an internet cafe anyway xD

Laters *~it's Oliver's bed time now ;)

YAY TORCHWOOD!!!!!!!!!! *dreams of Ianto/Jack goodness*

I know I'm going to go against something I said I wouldn't do on this journal but I have no where else to write this.

A friend of mine has recently asked me out and I said yes.
I do like him and I have fun hanging out with him so I throught I'd give the whole relationship thing a go because I've never had a boyfriend before. That happened last Monday, then I went to my friends 21st party last Saturday night and we started acting like boyfriend and girlfriend do really, you know hugging, holding hands... that type of thing.
And during the course of the night and on the train home with him, he told me that he loved me... twice, and quite frankly I freaked out a little. We only have just started dating and I don't think I love him yet and I told him that.

What should I do? Should I just see where this relationship goes and develops? Or should I break it now to spare his feelings.
This all seems like it's happening too soon. Is this normal, does he seem too clingy, or have I gotten myself into a relationship with someone who I'm only going to hurt if I don't end up loving him back?

Little confused... and really wish I could post these feelings on the forums and on facebook where all my real life friends are, but he regularly visits both and there's no way to protect him seeing this on those sites.

Sorry for the drama-lama guys.

Here's a list of all the Doctor Who serials, in order, by Doctor from 1963 - 1989.
I put together this list for my podcast, and me and my co-host are slowly making our way through them together for ourselves, and to cover on the show.

The numbers in brackets (5) <- "like this", indicates the number of episodes per serial.
A # next to the title, means that either parts of it, or all of it is missing.

( Epic list under cut )
