What would your perfect day look like?

2010-12-10T12:36:00.001Z

i like this question.

well id wake up and have pancakes for breakfast, then shower, get dressed and head down to the stables and go riding with *someone* (ill come back to that) we'd hack out over the hills and through the valleys and across the moors all afternoon, stopping for a picnic by a stream. wed lie on the grassy hill and stare at the clouds dotted around the sky, we would just lay there in sheer tranquility talking for hours. id maybe even get my guitar out and we'd sing a little. Then wed head back as the sun was setting and then go out to dinner and then go see a musical. then go our separate ways always remembering what a special day we shared with no intention of speaking of it again.

*back to the someone* Theres one person whom i have always wanted to go riding with, i love horseriding and i have always wanted to share the thril of a good hack with this one person, All of the above will never happen between us. This person isnt my friend or partner but its someone who i deepley admire and no im not going to say who it is but it isnt anyone you would think of.
It woud be an absolute dream to spend the above described day with this person and it would make it the happiest day of my life but thats what dreams are all about.

Heroes (No not the TV show) and some bad news.

2009-11-26T03:52:00.002Z

Bad is a bit of an understatement, GUT WRENCHING, is closer. My aunt got diagnosed with Breast Cancer today. Too far gone for the doctors to do anything.
You never really think about until it hits home and for that i could not feel more guilt-ridden for those who have already lost someone if i tried. It will take me a while to come to terms with it all but somehow i know i have to try and be strong.
Our family has had issues recentley and through this horrible time i pray we can just put our issues aside and come together as a family for my Aunt. I want her to know that yes we may all hate each other 99% of the time but deep down when you strip away everything and nothing is left all you have left is your family and we will always love her.

Recentley i was asked if i had a 'hero'. I spent a while thinking about it, Usually my instant answer is a random celebrity like John Barrowman or Billie Piper. But after REALLY thinking about it, My hero is not a 'random celebrity' In fact i wouldnt go so far as to call him a 'celebrity'. Can Fictional characters even be 'Famous'?

Well 'famous' is questionable, but 'Iconic' is a definite win.

The man im talking about has to constantly make decisions that must take such epic strength just to be able to get up the next day and carry on. He can't die so he can never take the way out that most people would go with. He saves the world and never asks for the applause, He is doomed to live forever so all he can do is watch everyone he loves grow old and die (or not even make old age in the case of his most recent lover) and yet he still carries on, never ageing, never looking back, if he did i dont think he could carry on.

But something i can really relate to is his openness, I honestley wish with all my heart that the world we currentley live in could see past 'labels' (no im not talking about Gucci and Louis Vuitton for a change) I mean labels on people, My hero would never turn someone down for a relationship because of their gender. The way the show puts it is "he's a modern kinda guy, anything with a postcode" And although my openness does have its limits, (i mean i wouldn't want to have a relationship with a poodle...) I admire that he sees the person for who they are and not whether theyre black, white, male, female, or an off world mix of the lot.

I have always said its not about looks or style or gender its the person that matters.
and athough the man in question is well known for being rather vain i think he would agree with my little saying.

So what if he's fictional? Call me silly, call me sad, Say i need to get a life, I. Don't. care.

My Hero is Captain Jack Harkness, and now like he has done so many times, i need to be strong and make sure that the imminent loss of a loved one doesnt stop me chasing my dreams and above all Living.

I love you Auntie L xxx

An Update!

2009-10-20T19:17:00.003+01:00

Woo!

Okay didn't take the job. Seen John now about 16 times in LCAF. Fantastic!

Am looking forward to The Hub this weekend, Can't wait to see all my fandom friends again!

Been to lots and lots of Barrowman stuff since the last update, a few book signings, La Cage etc etc. Also seen Tom Price in my hometown of Wakefield!

Booked my collectormania tickets and started an online campaign to save a fictional character. Seriously, a cat called tybalt. www.savethekitten.webs.com i had 150 hits in the first hour. It is a much loved kitten!

au reviour for now :)

Busy Life, Just keep moving :)

2009-09-03T17:09:00.003+01:00

WOAH what a busy month it's been.
spent a week in wales. we went to barrowman's house, we went on speedboats, we saw Blue Gillespie, we went to a torchwood signing with GDL, we made random people think im crazy when i sat by the TI office in fake hysterics screaming nooooooooooooo iantooooooo.

Was FOOKING hilarious!

went back to london for another Blue Gillespie gig and to see Tom Price do a comedy show in Camden (3 times), headed to norwich on a train with Kai Owen and Tom Price and spent a day working at a store where they were doing a signing with Gareth David-Lloyd. Then went to newcastle, failed a driving test (dang!) headed back to london. Rushed over to cardiff for SWA2, i was on the guest list, how could i not go?! then back to london the next morning. Saw Burn Gorman in oliver, saw danny boys in avenue q then spent most of today working in mothers pub.

on friday im going to the BBC to see ready steady cook filmed, im taking my mam, shes a chef, she likes that kinda thing.

ooooh and got offered a job at the playhouse theatre.

im hoping to review La Cage on the 14th (Barrowman's opening night)

ill see how wired i am from champagne.

oh and GDL told me and a friend we could go backstage when we go see him this xmas!

busy life, will hopefully be reblogging on the 14th.

finding it hard to follow me? follow me on twitter @_Harriettaa <<< its so much easier to keep up :)

oops. forgot to mention...

2009-08-09T12:55:00.002+01:00

I totally forgot to mention (in any detail) that i have completley gone against what i believe and i have bought a ticket to 'the hub 3' the sci-fi con aimed around torchwood.

my friends can be very persuasive, and i have now agreed to give it a try. its going to cost me an absoulte bomb unless i find a roomie (my friends have all already found theirs) but i dont mind. hell, i might even enjoy myself!

im going standard pass and buying photoshoot tickets.

(if anyone reading this is intrested in rooming let me know email - harriella@live.co.uk)

A quick break

2009-08-09T12:22:00.003+01:00

WOAH its been a while i know but things have been crazy lately. ive been to majorca and then spent a week at my daddys beach house in newcastle. now im back in yorkshire with my gran for a few days then i rush off to london tuesday and then to wales wednesday. cardiff and newport for a week then london for a while then norwich for a signing then wales again for sex wales and anarchy and then back to yorkshire for a week then back to london for 2 months of la cage. then the hub. then back to la cage and then johns book tour then my panto and duri ng which i will be taking a few shows out to run around the country for other pantos including preston, birmingham, cardiff, tunbridge wells, newcastle and of course back to mine.

as you can see i am unbelievably busy right now so blogging is very low on my list of to-dos but ill try keep everyone updated.

Day 4, Day 5, The aftermath, and some news.

2009-07-13T17:34:00.003+01:00

Day 4 was epic, gut wrenching epic. Ianto's death had me in floods of tears for a couple of hours. Everything about it was fantastic and Ianto's death is a scene i will never forget, it was amazingly well written, fantastically acted and overall it had everyone i know in tears, which to me would mean a success.

Day 5 was once again epic. Jacks sacrifice of Steven was heartbreaking to watch and left me in tears again and shouting at the telly. The whole way the show ended was a fantastic ending to such an incredible story and suited it perfectly, but i cant help but think it could have ended at day 4, Ianto and Jack could have just shot the glass out and they all died there and then. An episode 5 wouldn't have been needed. But in having episode 5 we got to saw Jack's reaction to Ianto's death and how much further Jack was pushed just to save the world. Heroes never have a happy ending.

Many people don't agree that Ianto should have been killed but i do. This is Sci-fi and the only thing they had left to do with Ianto was domesticate him, Him and Jack having a civil partnership and adopting Asian kids? that's just not Torchwood.
I stand by RTD's decision as after all he is the god! I think that the abuse aimed at the writers is unacceptable. James Moran especially has been so lovely to the fans, hes been nothing but nice and friendly sharing the writing process and just generally being fun to chat to. He was called a homophobic coward (one of many statements made at him). That was just wrong. He is now 'stepping back' from his blog, which has spoilt it for those mature people who understand that after everything, Torchwood is fictional and its not like they've gone and killed an actual person.

After everything that had happened in series 3 there is no plausible way the entire team could have walked away with a few cuts and bruises. Ianto's death was the right decision and all the protests are a bit pointless. Surely if Gareth David-Lloyd didn't agree he would have said the complete opposite to what was stated on his official fan site.

I hope there is a series 4, i would love to see how Torchwood would cope in the aftermath of their biggest disaster yet. If there was no series 4 i don't think i would be joining a protest (Rachel, Allie, Rick and Jenny what we planned was a drunken stupor and after looking at it now I'm sober that seriously wouldn't work). I'm going to miss Ianto after all he was one of my favourite characters. But life goes on, its not the end of the world, Its only Television.

In other news, I'm going to the DVD signing on oxford street this Friday if anyone is interested in saying hey feel free to comment and ill arrange time/place.

And in further news I'm not blogging next week at all as I'm in Majorca, so pictures and gossip aplenty upon my return :)

Okay so far Day 2 was my favourite...

2009-07-09T10:48:00.000+01:00

Then came day 3!

Day 1 was great but i could tell it wasnt going to be my favourite, not enough story development, but thats to be expected in the first part of 5.

Day 2 i loved the emotional rush i got from it everytime i re-watched on iplayer. That was bloody epic.

BUT then came day 3.
HOLY SHIT

This had me wetting myself almost the entire way through. The 'criminals' scene had me in stitches. The Jack/Ianto scene had me shouting at the telly, then they tried to get rid of Rhys and had me wetting myself laughing all over again. Bloody Beans.

My only thought is: Whos looking after Cardiff and the rift while all this is happening?

*the entire west coast could fall into the sea and London wouldnt notice*

More on the adventure...

2009-07-08T10:58:00.001+01:00

I forgot to say, i had a chat with some ascociattes this morning and the business adventre i previously mentioned is already slotting into gear. We've even booked a caterer.

Thats a bit random but a true fact. My mother is a caterer so if we were to need one we have one at the ready. WOO

Were looking into budgeting now so its all good, This is gonna be great! :D

Torchwood Day 1 & 2

2009-07-08T10:49:00.000+01:00

I dont realy have a lot to say about Day 1 as it has been a whole month since i first saw it but Day 2 OH GOD

My emotions were running on full throttle, one minute i was literally throwing up all over the living room floor thanks to lots of booze and a screaming skelleton.
the next minute i was slightly turned on thanks to.. well Barrowmans cock
Literally seconds later i was in tears over poor ianto sat watching his lover become encased in concrete completley helpless.

To say the show last night was EPIC would be an understatement. Acording to James Moran tonights episode is only rated 12 so im hoping it will have me gripped in the usual way, not the emotionconfusion i had yesterday. One of my all time favourite episodes was written by him (sleeper) so im looking forward to see what he does with tonights.

Excited much??

all i can answer to that is : SQUEEE

WE ARE COMING

2009-07-06T18:43:00.000+01:00

Torchwood s3 is almost upon us and i realy cant work out why i am so excited.

I mean come on!, i've already seen it, but it is well worth it and totally amazing enough to hold my attention a second time and third and fourth and fith well it would be safe to say i could probably watch it forever :)

Today has been unproductive, ive done very little work and dedicated the day to Torchwood.
Hilariously today is national kissing day, what a good day to air torchwood!

and ive started a bit of madness on twitter with a hashtag game of fave characters. for me (@Harriettaa) Its Rhys all the way.

Actor wise i could never choose between John, Gareth, Burn, Kai, Tom and James.
Actress is easy Eve all the way :)

almost time now, just over 2 hours until...

WE ARE HERE
(well actually thats not till wednesdays ep but yanno..)

Sweet Memories

2009-07-03T15:55:00.000+01:00

I just went throught my nan's photo collection of literally hundreds of photos.

It realy made me reminice about everything from my grandpa, my big sister Samantha and my twin Rebecca (god rest their souls) to mad xmas peroformances where i would grab a mic and thats all it would take to start a party. Then theres the holidays. Millions of them, if theres one thing my family love thats holidays, hell we've just booked another for this month! But seriously we owned an apartment in spain when i was a a kid and we would regularly fly out. When i was 4 the family fell apart over the death of my grandpa, we sold the holiday apartment, my mom and dad divorced, my mom dragged me off to Reading to start over. She realy loved my dad and was completley heartbroken, she still is well over 10 years (and another marriage) on. I still saw the family for our holidays with my newborn half brother and stepmom replacing my mom on the trips. My mom however would take me to exotic places far and wide like tunisia and jamacia so in a way i had the best of both worlds with two christmases and two birthdays every year.

Life wasnt easy for me but in every one of these pictures im smiling, singing, dancing, hugging people and a little blonde hair blue eyed girl with the world at her feet. I dont have any regrets, i never sit and think why me, or what if, because lifes too short.

Here i am today sat at my Laptop in the same house a lot of these pictures were taken (My nans) Singing along to life is a rollercoaster, Livin la vida loca and i made it through the rain with my red hair and bright green eyes (slightly wondering how that happened) but just generally enjoying this rollercoaster life. I can sleep when im dead.

>Picture taken in my nans garden on the memorial bench above my grandpas plaque<

A trip to remember..

2009-07-02T22:26:00.000+01:00

Am just arranging the final details with Allie and Rachel but basically were all going to Newport to go see Blue Gillespie live then heading to Cardiff the next day to see Gareth David-Lloyd at a audiobook signing =]

We're also trying to pack in a Torchwood Exhibition, A Doctor Who Exhibition, A boat trip, Some time in Cardiff Bay & Rhold Dahl Plass, and a few other things..

Its all going to be so fun!!!

...Klingon for Today is a good day to die.

It well and truley is. Here we go:

Its too hot
My hair has gone curly from the heat
got my hand trapped in scissors and cut my hand open, blood everywhere.
my hair is fading, it will look yucky by the time of my holiday if i dont get it done again.
todays torchwood radio play was, in my oppinion, awful.
my nan was in hospital this morning and they told me she is going to go blind and die if she doesnt stop smoking like now. she said oh well.
I have cooked dinner for my nan every day since i got here, tonight her boyfriend is comming for tea so shes cooking them food, has therefore not bought any food i like.
slimfast fails, it says it will help loose weight, so why have i gained weight?
i still havent got a bakini for my holidays
i havent seen my friends for a month and a half
my phone will not shut up

Today looked like such a promising day but its all gone to shit. Lovely.

A New adventure...

2009-07-02T12:18:00.001+01:00

A new Adventure has arisen!
I have been given the oppourtunity to make one of my dreams come true and it will affect many people in the process.

At this time it's difficult to say without revealing all as we are still in the early stages but it is a very exciting oppourtunity that will involve people like you.

AND just to make me feel like i'm walking on air there is a certain 'celebrity' who will be involved in the project.

I'll keep you informed as we go along. :)
