Alright, time for the real update!
Like I've said, the trip to the Åland Islands was fine. The house we rented was brilliant, the view was spectacular and it was all around lovely. My only complaints were the colony of screaming kids we had for neighbours and the fact that there was nothing to do. True torment for a spoilt middle-class brat, right? (Internet didn't work, do you hear me, it didn't work! D:)
But it was very nice, anyways. I and mum spent the evenings having Yatzee tournaments while listening to the Dire Straits albums I had lugged about with me.
Also – since we had no TV channels worth watching – I devoured the first season of Torchwood, which dad had been so kind and generous to take with him. ♥
Well, "first season" might be to push it – I just watched the first twelve episodes, since I'm a spoiler-whore of distinction and have figured that I need ep 2x01 at hand as well to be able to handle the season finale.Also, I want that Jack/Ianto kiss, dammit!
I do like this series; I do! I just won't get into its fandom, mostly because I can't bring myself to do that at the moment. But I enjoy watching the show while swinging back and fro between giggling and gasping.
I like all of the characters, but in a more detached, impersonal way than I do with, say, the Harry Potter ones.Remus! ♥ Though if I had to choose one, I think I'd go with Owen, because he is such an unsympathetic twa ars twa arse who still isn't a bad guy. I'm also partial to Captain Jack (naturally) and to be honest, I'm a bit wary of the well-known Ianto Jones – mostly because I can't get my head around him. But it's a good kind of wary!
As for shipping... While I have absolutely nothing at all against Jakc/Ianto – because, hey, eye candy! – I still think that if I had to choose an OTP, I'd go with Jack/Jack, as seen in 1x12 "Captain Jack Harkness". I don't know why (though probably because I'm the worst, soppiest romantic I know) but they really struck my fancy. Seems I have a predilection for tragic, short-lived, passionate and mid-fuckesque romances, especially gay ones. Oh well, could've been worse. ♥
(I wasn't the only one who was sobbing during the grand finale of that episode, was I?)
So, naturally, this leads me to this question: are there any on my f-list who are Torchwood fans as well? I know![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
littlemissgg is (which is partly the reason why I gave the series a try) but I do believe I've seen other rant/squee/mention/talk about it as well.
Oh, and while we're on updates, I might as well mention two things happening in my real life:
And... I think that's that for today?

- I'm starting school 20/8! \o/ New school, new class and new classmates, thank god. Now my peers will be about 16-20 years old instead of 12-15. THANK HEAVEN.
- This summer I was supposed to take a few guitar lessons. I have, it was unbelievably fun, and I'm going to continue having lessons once a week this autumn! ♥ (Mum is currently jumping for joy that I'm finally getting a "real" hobby activity.)
And... I think that's that for today?

Date: 2009-08-11 09:51 pm (UTC)A friend linked me to this Jack/Jack video before I even knew anything about the show, and it mad me sad even back then, even though I didn't have a clue what was going on, LOL. (Secretly, I'm just one of these soppy romantics, as well, but only if it feels right - and in this scene, it did. So much. <3) My soft spot is Jack/Ianto now, but I still ship him with everyone. I mean, it is canon already! xD
And I totally read this as "I'm starting school 2018" and was all, wtf?! But good luck with your new school and class already, sounds definitely like an advancement.
