Title: You Know Youre Obsessed With Torchwood When...


newestgreenwingfan01 - January 18, 2008 09:40 PM (GMT)
thanks to jess who had exactly the same thought ive been wondering all week i decided to set this thread up (come on, dont act surprised :P )


you know youre obsessed with torchwood when youre outraged when your dad and sister say jacks a time lord and you argue for 10 minutes that he cant be a time lord as hes a time agent and hasnt heard of gallifrey before


plus he doesnt regenerate every time he dies which is a good thing

xjessx - January 18, 2008 09:53 PM (GMT)
lol Hmmmm...Why do i feel the need to be naked in this thread as well as wiggling!!

As i said when you seriously endanger your self and other...i dont recommend speeding but when in need!!

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 18, 2008 09:57 PM (GMT)
when youre despairing cos you desperately want moving animated icons of jack and john and jack and ianto kissing and you cant get them and just have to keep staring at jack and jack kissing

when you want next weeks episode now and spend all your time on the TW website or LJ or BBC i-player just to watch or talk about torchwood

and the amount of squee I felt in that episode :)
when it's all that's made your week good (aside from seeing bex and sinead though)

oh and when you decided to go all the way to brighton on your own just to see John (unless I can write a note and get my sister out of school early) :unsure:

enzotherhino - January 18, 2008 10:22 PM (GMT)
When you have exams on monday and yet now have about 50 screencaps that are waiting to be turned into icons.

when you are 'the torchwood obsessed one' at school.

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 19, 2008 09:17 AM (GMT)
when your journal, your calendar and your phone either have reminders of the torchwood episodes coming up or pictures of the cast!!

guyoline - January 19, 2008 12:17 PM (GMT)
when you change you rather normal looking background on your laptop - which i have always had to a "brief summary of torchwood - in icons" and therefore i have changed how most of my laptop is presented, like the menu bar etc.
and I can't stop looking at it, it's soo pretty :wub:

for anyone who might want it:

oh i wants it!!!! its brilliant, may i have it pleasse guyoline??


oh when even though you werent on the torchwood page a sign popped up saying Missed Torchwood and you couldnt help smiling


when youre looking through torchwood fan videos for songs you like

Chapman - January 19, 2008 01:19 PM (GMT)
those pics are wicked! i would be tempted to change my desktop background, except it is a family computer, and they werent too impressed last time i did it!

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 19, 2008 01:59 PM (GMT)
when you deliberately watch jack/ianto fan videos on youtube just to show your love for that ship


when you keep re-watching past episodes and say LOOK jack so fancied ianto back in episode one, there was something between them before they keep killing suzie and keep insisting that even if they think that the jack and ianto pairing make no sense

enzotherhino - January 19, 2008 04:15 PM (GMT)
That wallpaper is amazing. Although mine is currently a rather nice one of JB so I can't complain.

guyoline - January 19, 2008 06:48 PM (GMT)
i know i love it so much, can't stop staring at it :lol:

when you listen to the audiocomentaries and which you had it before christmas as it had a few spoilers in it.

but it makes me love them so much more

oh and I'm upset that John is only in the last 2 <_<

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 19, 2008 06:50 PM (GMT)
when you spend your afternoon in an effort to cheer yourself up saving torchwood pics on your laptop

it did end up cheering me up :D

Port-ahh Lover - January 19, 2008 11:14 PM (GMT)
when whilst watching Buffy you keep imagining Spike as Capt. John.

John is also my wallpaper ATM, with his sword out.

..And that was not meant to be dirty.

honestly.

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 20, 2008 09:48 AM (GMT)
when someone mentions her friend has a stopwatch and you look up eagerly to her amusement

guyoline - January 21, 2008 07:08 PM (GMT)
when you start listening to the audio commentaries - if anyone can hold of it listen to episode 2, the story about John in his transformers pajamas is just worth the world :lol: that made my day yesterday

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 22, 2008 04:15 PM (GMT)
that story about johns transformers pyjamas is in his autobiography too :lol: bless him!!

when you love your long new coat because you can pretend jack leant you his coat or pretend youre him and walk round the streets of where you live...


however being a five foot girl in school uniform doesnt look as good.... you definitely need to be male and not in uniform...

guyoline - January 22, 2008 08:45 PM (GMT)
ooh is it?? he's so cute, I can't wait to get the bio, hurry up signing!!!

I took the day off because I was ill and too stressed to go into school so I could revise. I got in a panic and ended up watching 3 episodes of torchwood with the commentaries

:roflmao John broke the door with his ass

and I love how in countrycide they call him the Harkenator because he comes in and shoots everyone

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 22, 2008 08:49 PM (GMT)
:lol: to be fair to poor john breaking doors barrowman, gareth shoved him pretty hard.... :P

when you know that this time tomorrow youll be counting down excitedly again :lol:

guyoline - January 22, 2008 08:57 PM (GMT)
i have been so pissed off that it's not wednesday since... thursday :lol: plus it will be my last exam over with so I'm going to properly enjoy torchwood tomorrow (plus it means there will be another mission)

I'm lamely excited about the magazine coming out on thursday too...

I feel like I'm have a torchwood overload lately :lol: (that is in NO way a bad thing BTW)

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 22, 2008 09:01 PM (GMT)
:lol: guyoline ive spent the last week and a bit trying to get a picture of jack and ianto kissing on my signature - as you can see persistent works, its not actually moving yet but thats my next plan :lol:


oh and im madly excited about the magazine, the details are on my calendar which is right beside me... actually im gonna move my calendar, torchwood details have to be in front of my eyeline at all time :lol:

guyoline - January 28, 2008 07:36 PM (GMT)
when you read the torchwood mag very quickly and really want to enter the series one dvd comp even though you have it just because you know the answer and i don't know why but i would so get it again....


:lol: that's sad isn't it

I spent ages looking for the mag though they didn't have it in like 10 shops i looked in <_<

guyoline - January 30, 2008 10:42 PM (GMT)
when you see a black land rover and you got excited as you thought for a second it was the TW SUV, it really looked like it but more land rover-like :lol:

XTill_Masterx - January 30, 2008 11:25 PM (GMT)
Oh just up the road from me there are 2 black Range Rovers and bejeezus they look so much like the SUV.
It makes me giggle because they're always parked right next to eachother.

Plus the guy who owns the newer one looks like John.

Chapman - January 31, 2008 04:36 PM (GMT)

there are quite a few SUV's where i live, but the best ones by far are the white ones, as with the blacked windows, they look suspiciously like marvin from hitchikers!

newestgreenwingfan01 - January 31, 2008 04:50 PM (GMT)
when you spend the day going GO FASTER!!! i need my torchwood fix!!!

Torchwood cheers me up, end of!

newestgreenwingfan01 - February 8, 2008 02:53 PM (GMT)
when you see in the Lights On, Lights Off thread the guys who plays Rhys and you were about to go *ahems* thats Kai Owen when you re-read thread and realise the poor person who could have got sweetly corrected wasnt talking about Torchwood at all but Rhys in Hollyoaks... which stopped you replying cos you went :o :blush ...


So basically youre obsessed when you cant see the name Rhys without thinking TORCHWOOD.

enzotherhino - February 8, 2008 04:47 PM (GMT)
I had to read that about three times before the Hollyoaks bit sank in

guyoline - February 8, 2008 04:49 PM (GMT)
me too I was just about to say then I was like hollyoaks?? what is that crap it should be rhys in TW dmanit!

oh did anyone else do the mission this week, it was the easiest thing ever, it wasn't even remotely challenging, what was up with that?

Chapman - February 8, 2008 06:38 PM (GMT)
sorry the missions confuse me too much!

newestgreenwingfan01 - February 9, 2008 09:28 AM (GMT)
when youre outraged when they mis-spell a cast members name and start silently screaming at your laptop

guyoline - February 24, 2008 01:20 AM (GMT)
well this could go in the DW thread but as TW is on lately I thought of TW first...

when I saw a road and it was called Russet Drive and that made me think it said Russel T drive therfore Russel T davies :)

newestgreenwingfan01 - February 24, 2008 12:34 PM (GMT)
when youre talking about character development in a novel that has NOTHING at all to do with anything sci-fi and you immediately think hey that characters like Ianto.

newestgreenwingfan01 - March 4, 2008 06:57 PM (GMT)
when writing a story you immediately think of a particular quiet, efficient secretary by the name of Ianto and compare the character you made up to him without thinking and then realise what you did and have to cross out a few lines

enzotherhino - March 4, 2008 07:09 PM (GMT)
When you watch Belonging on iPlayer cos it has Eve Myles and Sara Llyod Gregory in.

guyoline - March 4, 2008 08:18 PM (GMT)
Why have I never heard of this show before and yet it's series 8 already??? :unsure:

I think I may watch this if I can be bothered...

enzotherhino - March 4, 2008 08:34 PM (GMT)
I think it's usually only avaiable in Wales.

guyoline - March 9, 2008 06:46 PM (GMT)
when you watch Gavin and Stacey and get excited that she had her hen night at the same bar that they use in TW and squee rather loudly.

When you pass liquid in cardiff and get excited but are annoyed that it was like lunch time and so it wsn't open...

When you go to both Torchwood enterances for no real reason but use the fact that you want to show my mum around the bay...

when you are at the bay and you know what builidings have been used and when in filming

guyoline - March 10, 2008 11:40 PM (GMT)
when you have been going mad concerning where on earth you reconigse the woman who does Dark Talk (a new weekly thing on the site to do with the missions) and you squee loudly when you realise she's angie in skins

and I watched belonging because of Eve. I quite like it. Also the guy who had the heart attack in it is the same guy who plays Gwen's dad :)

and I got my TW books today w00t
