Ms. Quartermaine

Grrrr...My dad just came into the room, and I had to quickly close the screen, and I lost my post!!! That's it...One more year, and I am moving out!!! It can be a difficult task, MagicHappens. Thanksgiving was the last time I did that. I, myself, actually have the option of watching the show in its entirety now that I wrapped up student teaching, but other than Friday, I've chosen not to do so. And by no means am I comparing 11 weeks of student teaching without pay to the almost 9 years of what you had...I truly hope everything works out. Colette, that second part of your post scares me. I hope you're all right. nex, you are FABULOSA for the clips! Thanks! I am realizing now that I don't have a lot of space left of my hard drive (not your fault). Just when I edited the clips, it told me how many GB's I had, and now, I don't find out until I save a video as a movie file. It seemed to go down by 15 GB's all of a sudden! I was like, "Wow. That's can't be good." Some spoilers (a couple NEW ones): EDIT: From Canadian TV Guide: Comment: END OF EDIT remos, was it you who mentioned that people better not say that TG was phoning it in yesterday? 'Cause people are complaining... EDIT #2: From Tristan Rogers blog: There's a rumour making the rounds about TG retiring. He mentioned this to me in 06'. Said, "he could do it". If he has asked for more time off it's largely because he doesn't feel challenged by what they are giving him, whether that will lead him to retire I doubt. GH may not feel that it's history plays a part in it's future but Tony's presence means alot to many people. I doubt they want to tempt fate. Especially right now.

Those were the ones I was missing. Lulu's birthday party was such a wasted opportunity. Bobbie and Tracy were both wallpaper. MagicHappens, I'm so sorry to hear that. Will be thinking of you. Thanks everyone for video feedback! Lainey, glad I didn't let you down; I know you've been wanting that video for awhile. And hooked, yes, I do try to match clip to lyric when possible... knh, have fun in the snow!

I've realized that I CAN watch an entire episode of GH if Tracy is on...And actually, other than Jason's hair and Diane (sorry, I can't get into her), I didn't mind today. Whoever said it seemed more balanced, I agree. It was a bit more integrated (i.e. Skye with Tracy, Skye with Ric, Skye with Trevor - Alexis with Kate, Alexis with Sonny, Alexis with Lucky, Alexis with Diane, Alexis with Jason). I like this no Carly or Liz thing. No Sam either... I don't think Alan was that rude to Tracy today; he advised she treasured the love she and Luke shared. And Tracy did come off jealous with the whole "younger woman" thing... I liked this exchange between Monica and Tracy (not word for word): Monica: I'm capable of doing my job. Tracy: Do it on someone else. Jane's delivery and Leslie's reaction shot were both very good. On the topic of acting, yeah, no one better dare claim TG was phoning it in today. He was awesome with both JE and JZ. Colette, I am trying to think of other semi-recent Bobbie/Tracy scenes. I know there was one at the PCPD with Bobbie, Scott, and Luke. And then that same day soap time (different episode), I believe Bobbie and Scott showed up at the Q's...There was the Bobbie and Tracy, "I'll b-tch slap you all the way to the Canadian Border" scene last year, and in 2005, Bobbie, Luke, Durant, Tracy, and Skye shared a scene, but it was Tracy/Durant who had the bulk of the dialogue...Oh, on the day of the LnL wedding, Bobbie/Tracy had a brief exchange with Luke in the room, I think...All right, TQ fans, what am I missing?

Spoilers for next week (nothing new): Question: Are Jason, Liz, Sam, and Carly ALL on vacation? I don't think I've EVER seen ABC Weekly Spoilers without a mention of any of them... And FIVE mentions of Monica, I could get used to this...

Interrupting our regular TQ scheduled posting to make an announcement... IT'S KEITH'S BIRTHDAY! I know you haven't been around too much lately, but hopefully, things are going well for you. Here's hoping you have a WONDERFUL day today!

^^^ I think they mean his "acting" on the show. I know SD isn't the only board to take notice. TWoP are calling them "ham attacks." I've never seen anyone suffer a heart attack before my eyes, so I can't accurately comment on TG's as Luke. However, his do seem fake to me... Here's the little gift (that Lainey hopefully likes): http://www.sendspace.com/file/1tr40d OT, but I hate waiting. EDIT: Oh. My. God. Promo of Luke's version of hell is up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8OULRKlRtk * Hooked, you called it , right?

Okay, yeah, the lipstick was kind of bright. I thought maybe it was just my TV. I still thought she looked good though.

No one's recapping? I didn't catch it all, but here's what I got: 5 scenes total for Tracy. I liked the outfit better today than the last couple times she wore it. Hair was good. Make-Up was nice. Overall, she seemed a bit overdressed for spending the day at the hospital, but could we expect any less of our girl? So...Here's hoping for tomorrow!!! It almost sounded like Luke's voice did the previews, which mean he'll be on...But it might have not been Luke's. Not sure...

TL, glad the project is done. Hopefully, now, you'll be able to catch up on some sleep. Hooked, Happy One Year Anniversary! (but it says you joined December 21st...LOL). Is it really your anniversary? I think you are mistaking the '06 (the year) as the date. Haha. There's a good chance I might have a gift for all of you later today...Lainey, I think, will like it the most. No promises though.

Hey, remember the Best of 2007 thing? These are some speeches I found if we want to include that as a category. BEST SPEECH Tracy: All right, Alan, you and I have spent the majority of our lives competing for Daddy's love…This time, you really outdid yourself. A heart condition? I would've gone for something a little more original, but I have to admit -- it worked brilliantly. You had Daddy in here singing your praises and whining for forgiveness. Wake up. You're going to want to savor every minute. Besides, if you leave now, I win. And I know you wouldn't want that. So just wake up! And make me regret telling you how much I love you. Tracy: Alan and I used to play tricks on each other. We picked on every flaw, every weakness. But he always watched my back when it came to Daddy and everybody else, and I always watched his. When I was little, my nanny used to put my hair in pigtails. Huh. Alan used to tell me I looked like a poodle. I, in turn, told him he looked like a monkey and that he smelled like one, too…And one day at school, he overheard a little boy in my class teasing me about my pigtails, so he grabbed him and soaked him in the water fountain until he apologized…We never talked about it, we never used that word. But we knew that when the chips were down, we had each other. It made me feel safe to have Alan there, my big brother -- the one person who knew what it was like to grow up in this family. I'm scared to live without him. Tracy: I love you, Luke, and that is a rare emotion for me. Do not expect it to last forever. I was willing to go after Scott Baldwin, even when there was nothing in it for me -- that is even more rare. Oh, and what do I get for my efforts? Let's see -- mistrust, disrespect, and the privilege of watching you break your own heart. You want to risk what we have for Laura? Fine, go ahead, I can't stop you! But I did want to mention that Laura is a moot point. It doesn't really matter who her guardian is, because she is not coming back -- to you or anybody else. Your darling, your angel -- is gone. And I am getting really sick and tired of waiting for you to accept it. Tracy: (to Luke) My brother was sentimental -- that's why he left everything to the children he wanted Jason to have. But sentimentality can't run E.L.Q. and if the price of forging his will is that he sticks around, so be it. (to Alan) I love you, and I hate that you are dead. But the truth is that there's part of me that's very glad you're still around… (to Luke) But I don't want to lose you. You’re greedy, disreputable, and untrustworthy -- and you get me like nobody has ever gotten me in my life. You make me feel alive, you make me laugh. In fact, you are quite possibly the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life. But do not make me choose between you and Alan, because I can’t. Tracy: When Scott Baldwin gets in front of that judge, he's going to paint you as an angry, violent, out-of-control man. It won't be much of a stretch -- you've been attacking Scott Baldwin at every turn. He's going to try to prove that you're a danger to Laura. He's going to mention the fact that you spirited her away the night Rick Webber died, and that you brought her back traumatized. He's going to bring in witnesses and old newspaper articles, and make public the fact that you raped Laura when she was a teenager. And this great love that you shared, the one that Lulu has been raised to idolize, will appear like a decades-long pattern of abuse. And Laura -- the frightened, battered wife too scared to leave. I'm not saying anything Scott isn't going to say, and his delivery is going to be a lot harsher. But you can take it. It doesn't matter what he says, you'll endure, but what about Lulu? How do you think that Lulu is going to take knowing that you raped her mother -- in the Campus Disco?

Oh my god, guys...Another interview might be opening up...I might have another chance provided the position hasn't been filled in the last 36 hours...It's a bit of a drive, but not too far...We shall see... Hmm, Evil!Luke and Tracy?! He was evil this past April, but you've seen that, I believe. Anyone want to help me out?! Can't think right now...

I feel icky. I showered before GH and then fell asleep. I woke up to hear the VCR starting and stopping, but that was about it. So sad about no Tracy. She must have been on my mind though 'cause I dreamt she was on. And I also dreamt that everyone on SZ was saying, "Great LuNacy scene!!!" I don't really believe Guza; in fact, I'd trust SD over him. I'm guessing TG is unhappy... Ugh. Dad just came into the room...Wants to know why I'm here instead of working on the other subbing application. Gah. Gotta go.

Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating! Hooked, Lainey, TracyLuv...Did I miss anyone? "IT'S MY TREE, AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT" Clips - http://www.sendspace.com/file/sw1qv0 (all right, so she didn't say that...) CREDIT: Geena and NancyFan (2 diff. places 'cause Geena forgot to include a Tracy scene on accident...) Thanks for the video feedback! As I mentioned in the BR, I had to edit it to the refrain only. MinervaFan, good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about Fey and the postponed Disney trip. And that's totally not fair about taking away email access at work. EDIT: For those wondering...I did not get the position, but I'm okay with it. I really, really am. 2 of the classes were Level IV, and 1 was a native speaker class (the other 3 were Spanish II). From what I've been told (and have seen), 1st year teachers almost always start with Level I and II, which are the same ones I student taught. I planned to sub all along, so I guess that's what I'll end up doing; I'm looking into graduate courses at night, but it's all so confusing. LOL. I do have to find a way to keep up with the oral Spanish though. Anyway, just thought I'd update you all. CAN TRACY PLEASE BE ON TODAY?!

knh, sorry about what happened. Any kind of accident, even if it's little, can get you rattled. And getting lost is noooooo fun. BTW. I went to upload the clips, but it said it was gonna take 20 minutes. I will try again tomorrow when there is lower traffic at SendSpace, hopefully. BIRTHDAY UPDATE December 7th: Keith (We miss you!!!) December 15th: Addie (I hope we didn't scare you away!!!)

THANKS EVERYONE!!! I had no idea at all... Must have been during one of those breakroom sessions I actually missed, LOL. I should have figured there was some "secret discussion" going on...Haha. You guys are the BEST! Love the "card!" So that was an early graduation present, huh? I was thinking birthday, LOL. Close enough. LOL. THANKS AGAIN! *hugs*

SHORT LITTLE VIDEO: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2rcrsd

Carrie, you are sneaky. I saw the package on the doorstep, picked it up, and thought, "Who got me something from the ABC store?" And then I opened it, and I had this huge idiotic grin on my face and still didn't know who it was from. Finally, I saw the form with your name on it. I should have known, LOL. Thanks so much. You're so sweet!

Lainey, what a great day-after-my-birthday present! I had no idea about the plot line or anything, so it was all a nice surprise! Thanks! Enjoyed the Diane/Tracy drabble as well, and I don't even care for Diane on the show. Thanks again! From SOD EDIT: New media pics: http://www.abcmedianet.com/web/display/dis...p;leftcol=links Week of December 24th: Tracy/Leo/Alan, Alan in a Santa Hat (caption says Luke though) Week of December 17th: Lulu/Luke, Lucky/Luke, Skye/Luke

LOL. It's Brook Lynn, Ned and Lois' daughter. She returned to GH (as a teenager, portrayed by Adrianne Leon), with her mom (recast Lois, Lesli Kay) around spring 2004. I can't remember when Lois left, but Brook left PC in January 2006. GH wasted her so badly. Not once did she have a scene alone with "Granny" as she called her.

Colette, you've seen her. It's Monica.

*stretches* I just napped. For like 2 hours. And right before that, I took cough medicine with codine in it. I am so. not. awake. Thanks for the graphics, Colette! And if I have the $$$ and that event happens, I'm SO there.

Thanks nex and Colette! Guys, I don't know what to do with myself...I'm so used to being at the school. From SoapDish (not a spoiler): Natty fans, she said she wants to do an event with Becky, Kim, Kelly, Laura, Nancy, & Jane. She said if they can ever get there schedules worked out they are going to do it. Brought it over here 'cause of the Jane mention.

Thanks all! I know a "Thanks all" is rather simple seeing as what I did last year, but know that I appreciate all the birthday wishes and all of you. I see a lot more drabbles have been added since I last checked. I should add another of my own. Thanks again Deb for setting that up. Interview went fine, I guess. I didn't feel "Ugh, that was bad" after it, so that's good! But, of course, I'm all, "Should've, shouldn't have, could've, didn't, did..." I'll find out later this week. Here's to hoping. If not, I got the first real job interview out of the way and will always have subbing to fall back on (until next year).

It is. Did I mess it up? I thought mine were all from 2007.

Information on the Drabble-thon: http://community.livejournal.com/tq_ficath...=142213#t142213 Some ideas for Best Dramatic Episode: Sharing stories about Alan with Dillon. Alan's memorial. Not saying "goodbye" to Dillon. Tracy finding out that Alan is fading. Luke opening his heart up to Tracy. Some ideas for Best Comedic Episode: Tracy and Luke alter Alan's Will. Tracy arrives at Wyndemere and takes a tumble down the stairs. Tracy and Luke spend Thanksgiving together. Hmm, thinking of the speech to Monica...Could we do a Best Speech category as well? I know she had some good speeches in the past couple of years...Not so sure about this one. Ooh, what about the one to Luke at MetroCourt about how Scott can use the rape against him in court? Or the one, "Your darling, your angel is gone..."
