It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE QUOTED MY DYLAN BB! So here. Have a Dylan Moran quote because he is likely my favourite thing in the entire universe. This is a bit he does about the rather cliché topic of men vs women. Of course, Dylan never does things in a cliché way...

"Take off your T-shirt and come to bed, c'mon, c'mon, you're a wonderful lover."

"Yeah, but am I the best?"

Because men are pathetic, and that's what they want to know. And women don't have that competitive thing, so they go: "There is no best."

"Ahaha! Who was he?? I know, it's one of those blue eyed guys with loads of teeth and hair and skin and all that modern shit, and he always looked as if he was on a boat and he gave up his job in cybergenics to go and plant trees in some fucking place, and he had loooooong lashes and could quote huge chunks of Baudelaire as he stirred his cafe latte, and he wrote a whole load of books and never told you, and then you were doubly impressed cause one day you found them in an airport, and he played lead cello in the Bulgarian orchestra and didn't tell you until you'd spent an hour twanging around on your ratty fucking guitar, looking for the first two chords of "Du-du-ron-ron", and he was mysterious and everything, he couldn't call because he was smuggling Chrochrobian children across the border to get them to safety, using his fucking knowledge of missile tactics and his inheritance and everything, and then he got involved in some underground documentary film group and was killed in a really tragic way for sedition - ONE OF THOSE GUYS, HUH?! ..I know your type!! Well you just hand me that fucking shoe horn over there, I'll take this T-shirt off and show you who's the best around here! I may have spent too long in the toilet but I've almost got some feeling back in one of my legs!"

*silence in the LFoD as we all eat ice cream and read the internets*

Ali: *out of nowhere* "I thought it was the Alpine."

Leah and Lara: "...what?!"

Ali: "...I forgot we're not all looking at my computer screen!!

(She was reading Leah's journal entry suggesting she now poke the Alpine Fault since she caused an aftershock which Ali thought was the Alpine, by posting that all the aftershocks were finished. Don't poke the Alpine Fault, Leah. Just btw.)

Also this conversation happened. I don't remember how it started, but I was eating pasta.

Leah: "You're not coming soon!"

Lara: "No. ...actually I might, this pasta is amazing."

Leah: "..."

And the rest of this evening has consisted of running around and calling each other 'lady', eating risotto, drinking bubbly wine and watching Shutter Island Wheehaawwww!

You know what's awesome after having an emotional day and not sleeping for three nights? Awesome friends on AIM and a wonderfully weird housemate who narrates her kitchen-skills in a French accent.

Circe in the kitchen:

"I pour you on to ze potatoes like we are old friends and you have just returned from Versailles."

"Now I put zem in ze OVEN where it eez HOT like between mah LEGS."

"I will surVIVE. Like an ox. Or...a leettle marmoset with beeg arms!"

Spent the last two weeks with Darclady and had a fantastic time. We went to the BEACH! In the RAIN! It was freaking awesome, yo.

Tonight included Woot, Chili and Rent. Three of my favourite things! Good times, good times.

Tomorrow I am hennaing my hair and watching the movie version of Rent again. For now, I am role-playing with my Leah, the kitten is curled up beside me, the house is warm, and I am full and happy. Content and peaceful is such a lovely thing to feel.

LMAO! Leah JUST walked into the room and we had this conversation...

Leah: I would so blow a bee.
Me: .... ..... ...what!?
Leah: I said I would so blow a bee!
Me: ..... *dies*

Yeah, she just had some of Darclady's honey.

My lovely Leah has successfully brought down the tone of my 'I LOVE EVERYTHING EVER IN THE WORLD' post, but that is how it works in the LFoD. Which is why I love it so damn much.

Had birthday brinner with my homies. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. It was frickin' brilliant. Even when Alison aciddentally knocked my mimosa into my lap. I then yelled "I AM COVERED IN CHAMPAGNE! THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME! I HAVE TO CHANGE MY PANTS!"

Which, of course, got a big laugh too.

Happpyyyyy :D My birthday rules.

I spoke to my mother on the phone this afternoon, and all the while, Alison was writing quotes down as we talked.

STALKER! <---Here

They amuse me greatly.

Oh, and the people with the 'dog or maybe it was a cat' had a dog named Tiger and they were named Art and Angie and they used to watch me sometimes. Art worked with my mother. I kept having memories and wondering who they were and when I asked, SHE didn't remember. Luckily I remembered the name Art. By the way, I was like 6. GO, MEMORY, GO!

*back to essay*

Alison: "I was searching for poo from the bottom up."

Cue me dying of laughter and the saying, "well the bottom is the best place to look for poo!"

We are a sophisticated household. We don't hold with toilet humour. *sage nods*

OH and I totally got my loan ;) WHOOOHOOOOO MONEY!

And also quotes!:

Michael: "I'm sad you're leaving. You're the last person I interviewed in the closet!"
Lara: "Oh, Michael, I'm not in the closet."
Michael: "...the Campus Operations closet..."
Lara: "I totally know. I just had to say that!"

Poor Michael. I don't think he knew what to do with me ;) But I laughed!

On the Kempf Family (Peter's incredibly bigoted and horrible German family, Johan is his cousin) taken from a scene in 2008:

"We came to see Johan's family." Werner explained, taking a seat on his son's desk chair.

"I thought your family blew, Mate?" Alastair asked, looking up at Johan.

"So did I!" Johan replied back with a grin. "But opinions are as ever-changing as the seasons. Sometimes. I have a cousin who is apparently wonderful. The things you miss when you don't get the family newsletters."

Alastair nearly choked on his latte. "Newsletters!!"

"I was being fantastical..." Johan explained with a wink. "They don't actually have newsletters, though they would probably be full of themselves enough to do just that. It would be a very frightening letterhead..." Johan winced just imagining it and he contented himself by drinking his mocha instead.

I crack myself up. I was re-reading scenes. I think I amuse no one as much as me, but at least I get a kick out of myself!!

Edit: Quinn chuckled. "You sound half toasted already, might as well surrender to the fumes, eh?! Oh my god, Eamon, I just realised what to go as to the philosophy department's Halloween party!"

"A fume?" Eamon asked, his eyebrows raised.

"No!" Quinn stuck his tongue out as his brother. "I'm going to go as postmodernism! I'll wear, 'this is a Halloween costume' on a sign around my neck and...oh god, no. It's too easy."

AHAHHAHAHAH PHILOSOPHY JOKES! I love them. Apparently them and physics jokes. Right on, yo.

Sometimes I re-read things, and they make me laugh so loud it hurts my throat...

Peter sighed and he wiped at his tears. "I'm just...afraid. Of what the next thing will be. Because there's always a next thing. A demon, or a werewolf or a stupid blond angel who won't leave me alone. Brain tumours and Templar and diabetes and you're going to have this baby soon...little Lauren...and I'm absolutely fucking terrified that you'll...you know...die again."

"I only died for like 3 minutes last time! That's hardly dying at all! You died for 5 days. You died way more than me!" Aly protested.

I love it when my characters are petty :D

EDIT: AHAHHAA So Peter was crying on his journal and the ink got on his cheek. "Me too! Just a second." Aly leaned back and then she did the stereotypical 'mother licking the handkerchief' thing, only without a handkerchief. She licked her thumb and rubbed the ink from Peter's cheek. And he blinked in surprise.

"Did you just lick me!?" He squeaked.

"Yes. You had 'ignorant masses' on you." Aly explained. I crack myself up.
