so ok,
i been crap at keeping this updated!
but am currently on tinternet, so i thort i'd say a quick hiya, and maybe hoy a few pretty pics up, when i took the bears to 12 mile delta near Queenstown.
and a few other cute ones of the bears adventures.

Say hi to the Doctor, Ianto and Jack,

This is Jack lounging around on the bed with Ianto

This is them with all their luggage!

They like to stay in the back of our camper van!

JackBear met one of his old friends from Middle Earth.

Jack and Ianto meet Leggie

JackBear goes adventureing in Queenstown

and he finds the Lord of the Rings shop.

and he confronts an angry ORC.

And then we went to 12 mile delta to act out some scenes from LotR.

Checking out the LotR guide book, to see if they had the correct spot.

Looking for Olifants

They'll never believe this back home!!!

then looking for a perfect spot for stew and rabbit, and sadly no potatoes...

this lloks like a good spot!

Mission sucsessful!

Back to have a pic with the signpost.

then back to our campsite.

Bears being lazy and not getting dressed for days...

and i knit the Doctor a scarf, he loves it, it remeinds him of his 4th regenaration.

me with the bears (me having nicked erins hat thing...)

then i perswaded erin to make me one too, but it was FAR to massive so Jack decided it would make a fantastic hammock...

so the boys had a little fun... but thats a different x-rated bear post... (i havent uploaded that yet...)

Jack having a pint on st paddy's day (ok so he's a month early but shush!!!! dont look at the date...)

Ianto get's his red unit hat..

Jack with a copious amount of JARED candy... (mmmmmm Jared Padalecki)

and its silly shoes time...

i really dont know what possessed me, but it was funny at the time!!!!

3 bears, a stopwatch, some bananas and a bottle of wine, must be party time in the Hub.

Peek-a-boo, where is Jack????

There he is!!!

Lounging around again....

Happy Birthday Gareth

Photo time!

Totally knicked Erin's post as i'm a totally lazy bum, but since we're on the same trip and she said i could...
Pictures taken by Erin, and then knicked by moi!

captions also by erin.. as i said i'm a total lazy bum!!!

One of the shops we wandered past near the Christchurch Cathedral. The Torchwood/Dr Who bears NEEDED a photo in front of this place. The bears are Ianto, Captain Jack and the Doctor, so you know.

Jack is a very silly bear. Here he is shopping at The Warehouse...

and posing on the bed...

and with a whole lot of bananas...

and waiting for Ianto to call...

This is the pet fish at the backpackers. We named it McCartney after Lister's robot goldfish in Red Dwarf.

That's a LOT of cash. We bought a van (that we named Felicia) and thus had to take a lot of cash out of the ATM. That's $2000 in $20s.

The tea cosy collection in a random shop near the backpackers...

and the room of orangeness in the same shop. This photo's for you Rina.

I finished knitting a pair of socks. They are very comfy.

And then we headed south through Ashburton where we found one of those cars with three wheels.

and then through Winchester! This was very exciting.

and then through a town with a creeptastic haybale family.

Some random scenery later...

We got to Clyde. This is the view from Felicia.

That grass is the edge of a VERY steep hill leading down to the river.

Here's a very pretty sunrise.

And the moon, and a photo of the tree next to the car coz I thought it looked cool.

And this is the Post Office Cafe. It's really cool and has fabulous food.

It comes in pints? I'm getting one!

thats all for now.. as ez hasnt posted any more and i'm a LAZY bum!!!

heheh! Birthday thingy

Erin has got me addicted to Supernatural! i love Dean. he is yum! i love his obsession with his shiny black car!
*SQUEEEEEEEEEEE*

i had a really random dream a few nights ago after watching (tooo much) supernatural.

we were in a pool and i was just about to show Jenson some pics i had on my computer and Jared was singing a song over and over again that Elle (erins friend who i havent met...?!?) had wrote all about him. and then the pool attendant confiscated my laptop, saying no laptops were alowed in the pool, and pointed to the sign... No Diving, No Splashing, and No Laptops.
and i spent the next 10 mins chasing the pool atendant round the pool begging for my laptop back, and Jared was still singing the little ditty over and over again and eating sweets. and then i was just about to get Jared's phone number from Elle, cos in my dream she was their Band manager (???) and had their mobile numbers.
and then erin woke me up so i didnt get their numbers!
oh, yeah this was the night that we had parked the wrong way round on a slight hill so our heads were at the bottom of the hill and not the top, (prob all the blood rushing to my head made me have funny dreams!)
hense why erin woke me up in the middle of the night to turn the bed around and spoilt my wonderfully random dream!

twas SOOOOOO random!!!!!!!!

yeah... so am up to episode 16 in series two.

I LOVE it i am hooked!!!!!!!!!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeee NZ

2008-01-28T00:58:49Z

ok so there aint a desert in NZ but neh, we got a camper van! teee heee!

Arrived in Christchurch airpot at 12.am sunday morning, then cos we hadnt booked anything for accomodion, we camped out at the airport, and watched 7 episodes of Doctor who...

Torchwood Meetup Sydney Jan 08

2008-01-23T13:17:48Z

Ok, so i think it went pretty well. i for one had a fantastic time meeting new friends.
*waves*
Hiya to all.

We met at 1pm at the Bondi Junction Build a Bear.
we had two Vote Saxon t-shirts, a Janto t-shirt, a Mrs Owen Harper t-shirt and a Ianto's Coffee club t-shirt.

so we made Jack Bear some furry friends.

after building some furry friends for JackBear, we tryed to find the coffee club cafe, for soem coffee.
mmmmmm we all ended up having cold drinks but they were still yummy.

then onwards to the ABC shop, to see what merch they had, they really didnt have much, so we went on to Galaxy Books.

on the train there Jack and Ianto were up to no good...

when crossing the road to Galaxy Books, a black range rover drives past us, and i screech out, TORCHWOOD! and point at the SUV. i think i scared a few ppl!
arriving at galaxy books, (heaven) i think we might have scared the ppl on the tills also when 10 Torchwood and Dr Who fans all converged on the Dr Who section.
some sonic screwdrivers were obtained (leagally) and then we found some shiny posters and JackBear decided he had to be in them.

then we found a bookshop that was MINE!!!!!!!!! wheeeee! more hyperness on my part.

Here we all are in our group pic.

Front row - left to right
ryttu3k with DocBear, absdax with JackBear, Bec with SaxonBear,

Back row -
calavarna , lidda_anne with DoctorBear, flopsy_cotton with IantoBear, eireinn with IantoBear , neolgism with IantoBear, a1_kitkat with JackBear,

and the photo was taken by blamebrampton

then Jack Bear found a shop to his liking, and he posed for pictures with Ianto Bear and Doctor Bear.

then we had to say bye to rytu3k and to blamebrampton.

and then we went on insearch of the Bridge and the opera house.

we find a lovley fountain for the guys to pose next to. Smile guys!

left to ringt...back row...
DoctorBear JackBear, DoctorBear JackBear.
Front row, left to right
IantoBear, IantoBear, IantoBear

then we find a lovely orange post.
so we take a picture, then some security guy tells us off for taking pics and chases us away.
so i think we found Torcwood 4. yeah, it got relocated to Sydney!
Look it even has the Torchwood Bears!

no idea why they said we couldnt take pictures!!!

we finally got to circular quay,
yeah look a really cool bridge!

and a shiny opera house. see we really are in Sydney!

then the bears got up to no good.

Jack and Jack go dancing.

they fell over... REALLY!!!! (well JackBear did, he put himself in that situation!!!)

JackBear greats DoctorBear

He was just saying hello to IantoBear...

IantoBear says hi to DoctorBear

Mischeif managed!

we then head to get some food

and the JackBears end up dancing on the tables.

and then our day is over, and fun was had by all humans and bears alike.

Until we meet again!

Captain Jack Bear goes dancing

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Part 4

As normal Ianto brought Jack his early morning coffee at 7.30 on the dot.

And as normal Jack was sitting at his desk pretending to work, while secretly trying to hide his Harry Potter book under his stacks of neglected paperwork.

Ianto hid his smile, “Morning sir.”

“Mmmmm coffee. Yan, have I told you how much I love you?”

“Don’t you mean, how much you love my coffee?”

“Mmmmm!” Jack closed his eyes contentedly. “Magic.”

Ianto grinned and silently walked out of the office. And went back to the info centre to tidy up a bit and put the new leaflets out.

At 8.37 the door opened and in bounded Gwen, a smile on her face, “Morning Ianto, had a good weekend?”

Ianto nodded at her, “Morning Gwen, yes thanks, you?”

Gwen smiled back, “Yeah.”

Ianto pressed the button to let her through to the hub. “See you later.”

Gwen bounced into the office, obviously bursting to tell some one some juicy gossip she had acquired.

Spying Tosh at her computer she bounded over to her.

“Ohhh guess what, oh you never will so I’ll tell you, I was out with Rhys on Friday night, and guess who I saw leaving the pub with a really gorgeous blond?” she paused to catch a breath and Tosh looked at her in question.

“Who?”

“Ianto!”

“Yeah? Good for him!”

Owen wheeled his chair over “Did I hear the words, Gorgeous Blond? Did she have big knockers?”

Owen went of into dream world thinking of this gorgeous blond with big tits.

“She?” Gwen looked puzzled, “No the gorgeous blond was male, and he was so beautiful, high cheekbones, blond hair to just past shoulder length, dressed so, so smartly in tight black trousers and a dark green loose velvet shirt, so, so evidently gay, as he was so pretty, and his smile, oh him and Ianto were laughing together, it was so beautiful!”

Tosh smiled, “Well at least someone is getting some around here,”

Owen leered at her, “Well, all you have to do is ask babe!”

Tosh started giggling, “If I ask someone, it wont be you, who knows where you’ve been,”

Gwen started giggling too, as Owen pouted and started chewing on the end of one of his pens.

Hearing the laughter and giggling, Jack came out of the office.

“So kiddies, what’s going on?”

Owen looked up, “Ianto’s got himself a gorgeous blond shag according to Gwen, but I reckon he hasn’t and it was probably his brother or something. As if Ianto could pull anything that gorgeous!”

“They weren’t really acting all brotherly, they were all over each other,”

Gwen looked at Jack, then saw his face, and tried to backtrack “But… perhaps it was a brother…” she trailed off not knowing what to say.

“He doesn’t have a brother,”

“Er…”

“Huh, why didn’t he tell me…” Jack muttered to himself and went back to his office.

Sitting down at his desk, he got his Harry Potter book out and tried to forget what he had just heard, but he kept reading the same line over and over again.

Loosing his temper he flung the book across the room at the wall.

“Dammit!”

Jumping up out of his seat, he started to kick the crap out of the waste paper basket.

He caught site of the book he had flung across the room, “No!!!”

The book had hit the wall at a great velocity and the hardback cover had separated from the book.

“Dammit Yan, look what you made me do!”

Cradling the book in his hands he picked up the ruined book and took it back to his desk, getting out a Prittstick, he started to try and fix his beloved book.

“I’m sorry Mr Book, I didn’t mean to throw you at the wall. I’ll fix you up good as new Mr Prittstick sticks anything to everything! It says so on the packet!”

10 minutes later Jack’s fingers were covered in glue, and the pages of the book were sticking to his fingers.

“Oh Dammit!” the book was now attached more to him than to the cover.

There was a knock on the door, Jack grabbed the book and swept the Prittstick off the table and hid the book and his glue-covered hands under the table, book still attached to his sticky hands.

“Coffee Sir?”

Ianto walked in with a coffee, and set it on the space in front of Jack. He looked around at the mess that Jack’s office had become.

Jack looked like he had been crying, he was wiggling about in his seat, suddenly there was a thud, as if something heavy had just dropped to the floor, and Jack brought his hands above the desk, there was a few bits of torn paper attached to them.

Ianto looked at him with a puzzled but concerned expression on his face.

“Jack are you ok?”

“No.” Jack was sulkily picking bits of paper from his fingers on one hand, only to have them stick to his other hand.

“Do you want to talk to me about it?”

Jack momentarily looked up from his hands, and looked at Ianto. Then looked back down at his hands again, “No,” he mumbled quickly under his breath, not sure if he wanted to confront Ianto with what was bothering him.

“Ok, if you’re sure, you know I’m always here for you Jack,” Ianto turned and was about to walk out of the office when he heard Jack.

“TheysaidyouhadadatewithagorgeousblondguyandmyHarryPotterbookhasfallenapart!”

Ianto turned round, “Sorry Jack I didn’t quite catch that,”

Jack looked back at Ianto then down at his desk, and started to pick the drying glue and attached paper from the desk.

“Gwen saw you with a gorgeous blond guy at the pub, and my er… copy of Deathly Hallows has fallen apart.”

“Ah.” Ianto sat down in the spare chair next to Jack’s desk. “He is an old school friend of mine, we meet every week or so for a drink. I’m surprised Gwen hasn’t seen us before.”

“School friend? Nothing more?”

“He’s my ex, but we’re still friends. Why the sudden interest in my nocturnal activities Jack?”

“I’m always interested in your nocturnal activities Yan, but this was the first I heard of you going out with gorgeous blonds!” Jack was still sulking.

“Gorgeous blond huh? Haven’t heard him called that in a long time, but I suppose it fits him nicely, but don’t tell him that or his ego will get as big as yours!”

“What’s he called?”

“Draco.”

“Really?” Jack started to grin.

Ianto rolled his eyes, “Yeah. Speaking of that lets see that book you’ve broken.”

Jack looked a bit sheepish, and then ducked under his desk and retrieved the broken book.

He put it on the desk, it was a sad and sorry state, and couldn’t really be called a book any more.

Ianto looked at the book in horror.

“What the hell did you do to that poor book Jack?”

“I er, tried to fix it.” Jack winced and looked up at Ianto. “There is a dent in the wall over there too to commemorate the death of the book.”

Ianto closed his eyes, head shaking in exasperation, “What did you use?”

“Um…” he looked on the floor to see where the Prittstick had landed and retrieved it, and sat it next to the book. “Prittstick.”

“Oh.”

“…”

“I’ll get you a new copy.”

”But I like that one.” Jack made puppy eyes at him. “It’s the one you gave me signed by JK herself.”

“I’ll see what I can do! There is probably something in the archives I can use. But I’m banning you from trying to fix things with Prittstick!”

”What about superglue?”

“…”

The look that Ianto gave him was enough to stop him making any more suggestions.

“Prittstick is water-soluble, so I expect you to clean up that mess by the time I’ve mended your book.”

Jack hung his head, “Yes sir…”

Ianto picked up the pile of book remains, and confiscated the Prittstick; he was at the door when Jack spoke again.

“So he’s defiantly just your ex?”

Ianto looked back at Jack and rolled his eyes, “Go, and clean up!”

Ianto went to the archives, found a spot where he knew the CCTV had a blind spot, and retrieved his wand.

“Reparo!”

He smiled to himself, “Well I did say I had something to fix it with!”

The book looked almost new again. Couldn’t make it too perfect in case Jack suspected he’d just gone and got him a new book.

“Job well done”

He tucked his wand safely away again, and decided to do some filing, give Jack some time to get all the glue from himself and his desk.

If the worst came to the worst, he could always send them all out on a rouge weevil hunt, and that would give him time to clean Jack’s office himself. He knew a good spell to remove glue from desks.

Draco was sitting in the library quietly studying his potions textbook, when someone put their bag on the table next to him and a voice whispered softly into his ear, “Don’t look now but Potter is staring at you again!”

“What?” Draco glanced in Potter’s direction and sure enough he was looking in their direction, Draco accidentally caught his eye for a few seconds.

Ianto plonked himself down next to Draco, and started pulling textbooks out from his bag. “So Potions, you done the homework yet?”

Draco realised he was staring in to vivid green eyes and scowling he turned back to the Ravenclaw now busy working on Potions homework.

“Why are you here?” he asked Ianto gruffly.

“Um potions homework.”

“No, I mean sitting next to me? Talking to me, acting like you’re my friend.”

Ianto looked up from his homework, and glanced round the library,

“Well why not? Seamed like a good enough seat as any.” He went back to his potions, “So how do you make this potion again?” he muttered to himself.

Draco sighed, and gave up, “Fine, but if they start avoiding you too for association with a death eater, its not my fault!”

Ianto looked up and grinned at Draco, “Don’t mind”

“Your weird, you know that?” Draco shook his head and went back to his potions text,

“I reckon you just don’t want to let anyone come close to you, to protect yourself so you wont get hurt if they betray you. You know Draco, not all of us have Slytherin tendencies!”

Draco looked up from his potions, “You’re wrong. I just don’t need any friends. I’m fine.”

“Did you know that some people say FINE stands for Freaked out, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional?”

“I am not emotional.” Draco said through gritted teeth.

“Ok, if you say so.” Ianto raised his eyebrows; he wasn’t going to mention that he didn’t deny the other 3.

“I do say so.”

“I’m still not moving tables though.”

“…”

“Malfoy, Jones, Quiet over there. This is a Library.” Madam Pince started to walk over to their table.

“Now look what you’ve done!” Draco hissed at Ianto.

“Me?” Ianto whispered back.

“Shush!”

Both boys went back to their potions assignments, heads down. Ianto glanced over in Potter’s direction to find that he was still staring at Draco.

Ianto smirked at him, and Harry turned his head back to his work, and tried to hide his blush behind a rather large textbook.
