Via [livejournal.com profile] kuwdora, John Barrowman is writing his memoirs. (TW S2 spoilers)

The sad thing is, if that article read "John Barrowman is folding his socks" or "John Barrowman prefers pizza with anchovies, pineapple" I would probably still consider it interesting enough to post. I don't know what it is about John Barrowman. Maybe the giant teeth.

p.s. I did not know those spoilers but if that is true, i just did a serious air-punch-and-hop-around-the-room maneuver.

Sadly, I would happily read articles about John Barrowman ironing his socks, doing his taxes, what have you.

I don't know what it is about him either...but I would like some of it, please!!!

[livejournal.com profile] kuwdora just noted that she almost went to the school where Mr. B's sister teaches, which, it's a good thing I don't go there, because I would probably stalk him when he was in town.

I'm just profoundly curious what his coat smells like. That's all! Not in a creepy way!

Which is what I would be saying to the cops as they hauled me away.

*nodnodnod*

That is totally reasonable. Now that you mention it, *I* would like to know what his coat smells like.

If the technology existed, I would encourage you to record the smell and broadcast it on the internets. Fic in Smell-O-Vision. Not because I'm a pervert. It's for *SCIENCE*. (Which is what I shall be saying as I am hauled away.)

see? Science demands answers! (Plus Rose's reaction in Empty Child really looks like a bump on the head _plus_ extra-strength pheremones, and okay, that's Captain Jack's smell, not John Barrowman's, but either Barrowman is very Method or the two are a lot alike)

Science totally demands answers! (As do I, come to think of it.)

Poor Rose: head injury and smelling Captain Jack.It's kind of a miracle she survived.

Nrg. Now I am wondering about a host of boys in leather jackets and how they probably smell really good. That is distracting.

there is no Captain Jack or John Barrowman -related subject that does not eventually grow distracting. Or hilarious. Or both.

I find it ironic that I love him best when he is bleached blond, spouting Nazi propaganda in an extremely alluring tenor and sig heil-ing. T_T

That man can make the sickest things attractive!

"'Torchwood' - whose title, by the way, is an anagram of its parent series'." Amazing! I didn't catch that at all!

Seriously. It was long before I knew who he was in any other context, but I thought to myself, man, that is one fabulous Nazi.

See, when I started watching Torchwood for the makeouts I didn't know what Doctor Who was or care, so that information made no sense to me.

God, that was a long time ago, fandom-wise.

I would totally read about John Barrowman folding his socks. *g*

Also he would invent sock-related dirty jokes, and that would be worth watching. That man could squeeze a double-entendre from a turnip.

John Barrowman is so very very.
It could be something different for everybody, but for me? It is his utter lack of shame, combined with his joyful and gentle self-appreciation. He really is that wonderful, and he's not selfish! He's got to share with the world. There is no malice in his "look at me!" smile.

I know! It isn't his fault! He isn't stuck up about it, it's just, his fantasticness knows no borders.
Of tact.

I think what I love most about him is his profoundly british Big Gay American-ness. And how he has no boundaries. Whatsoever.

Now if only it was Jack. I want to hear the acrobats story.

I think Captain Jack's memoirs would be mostly diagrams. Like an old American Football playbook. *g*
