Okay, so I'm lame and was supposed to post this last week. But my body is doing this really weird thing where it wants to sleep all the time and between that and work, well....John Barrowman had to take a back seat. *wipes tears* Good news? He's here!

That's right! THE John Barrowman came to speak to my uni union on Tuesday. He is 100% hotter in real life than he can ever be on camera. I just DO NOT understand how one man can be so charismatic and funny! He had us in stitches!

He was due to arrive at 8.30pm. I made my friends come with me at 7.40pm to get good seats! And they WERE fab seats! But you can't tell from the photos. My stupid camera makes it look like we're right at the back when in reality, we were in the third row. WTF camera? Anyway, I spent the next 40 mins squealing in my chair and dancing. For two reasons. One, my excitement. And two. To scare off other people and make them sit somewhere else. THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! I let out rather an excited OMGOMGHE'SGONNABEHEREINHALFANHOUR right into a guy's ear (not on purpose! It was only after this I saw the advantage of doing this!) and he got up and dragged his girlfriend over the other side of the room. SCORE! He was blocking my view with his tallness. :O

I caught a glimpse of JB before he came in. That was embarrassing. In the relative silence of the room, hearing a girl goes "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" like air escaping from a helium balloon was a little strange. But I had tunnel vision by this point. And my friends had edged away, so really, it was only embarrassing for the girl who let out the Turnbull-like noise. Oh. OH right. Me.

Oops?

He came in. Was blinded by camera flashes. I found out I had little to no battery left. I? Was devestated. I'd charged up the battery to full capacity just a few hours before but I must have nudged the on/off switch in my bag and it had been running all this time. I managed to take some pics though (awful quality - I can't get the stupid backlight off my camera so the pics go for colour rather than detail.) and a few mini vids.

In between trying to turn the interviewer gay and talking about the "gay gene" he's looking for in a new docu by the BBC that he's currently filming (the story he told us was HILARIOUS!!!! But I know I won't be able to do it justice so you don't get to hear it! :D) he spoke a lot about Doctor Who and Torchwood. A LOT! 



FAKE SPOILER ALERT! 



He told us about how he plays Jack. He also spoke about Jack as if he was a real person and referred to himself in the third person sometimes. This amused me so. "Are you asking me that or Jack? Me? Okay, I have to get into John's mind. Okay. Well, the thing about the Doctor is..." XD

1) Captain Jack is in love with the Doctor. He plays Jack like this! JB said that every character in Torchwood, Jack loves, but the Doctor is slightly different. He has to be in love with him and that won't change. He also mentioned maybe in one or two seasons Jack coming out to the Doctor and telling him he was in love with him! XD Hard thing with JB is that he jokes a lot in a very honest way. So that last bit? I'm not entirely sure if it's a joke or not. It didn't SOUND like one though.

2) JB firmly believes Jack is the giant head in the thingy. One day he hopes to find out he is. Which leads me onto...

3) Jack's death. In years and years to come, JB says Jack's going to get decapitated by a train and instead of coming back to life, his head will be saved by the Doctor (because the Doctor loves him too? Aww!) and preserved in the giant bottle/machine thingy. So when the Doctor is really old, he'll be going to Jack for advice XD

4) In season 4, it is not entirely unlikely we'll find out what Jack's real name is.


There is more that I'm forgetting but I'm running on a low engine here and can't recall it ALL right now. He also spoke a lot about Maria/Joseph and the new show I'd Do Anything. That probably won't interest the Americans out there! HE SUNG! Which was hhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaawt. He touched up the interviewer SO MUCH. It was amusing. What else?

Ahh...the Doctor isn't asexual. And neither is David. JB knows this from experience. He looks at porn daily. He fancies women but does guys. Or...guy, since he's been with his partner Scott for 16 years. He was about 11 or something when he realised he was liking what girls liked far more than what boys went for. He talked about his family and his children. Read: pooches.

But the end of the interview, I was o_o and so close to drooling. All the question I had wanted to ask kinda fizzled out in my brain the second he walked in. Seriously, why are all the gay guys good-looking?

Oh. And to finish off. He spoke about THE kissing scene with the real CJH. That was priceless. The other actor brought his gf along to the shoot. And once JB had told him he wanted it to look real as possible and could they do it opened mouthed, the guy had gone a little pale, nodded and strode right over to this girlfriend to tongue her for ten minutes. After every take, he'd apparently play tonsil hockey for twice as long with her, radiate heterosexuality, before making out with JB. The actions that went along with these words had to be seen to be believe.

I <3 JB.

Now you've read all that (or are sensible enough to have scrolled down to the photos in the first place) I give you piccies! Some are photoshopped to brighten them up. If you want to see a decent one, just go straight for the end! 



 
Someone's head! I don't know how it got in there! I obviously didn't squeal in HER ear... Or her boyfriends...

 



 
Awww OTP!






That's BBC in the green dress. If the interview is shown on TV you might be able to hear me hyperventilating!

And the ONE picture that my friend took? Is the BEST! :D




TA DA! If you're interested in lame vids too (you can hear him talking!), here be they. I don't think you can hear my squealing?



"I um...he hasn't admitted it to me yet but he's determined to let me hear it...somethingsomethingsomething."

I honestly can't remember what he's talking about! I'm 99% sure it was during his DW/Torchwood talking bit though. Intriguing! I'll have a think.



This is JB touching up the interviewer. He's just propositioned him. I think interviwer guy might've liked it! LOOK AT HIS FLAPPING!!! JB also wrote a private message to the interviewer at the end... (I WANT to call interivew boy Ben but I can't remember >.<) The coughing is Emma, who's sat next to me. Maybe the gayness got too much for her?




This is a one second vid that I include for two reasons. One, because JB and "BEN" look cute together! Also, it's really funny if you just listen to it over and over again.



No gay here. Boring stuff about being in the National Theatre and then to the West End. I think I was testing out my vid setting here to see if it worked better than photos.

That's all, folks!

Oh, unless you wanna see Oxford from up a church tower?



First shot with a big phallic shaped fat tower in the middle of it? I'm under that now! You can hear the moody French people on camera too. /o\

Tune in next time for ALAN RICKMAN!!!!!!!!!!
