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

The LFoD had our Tim Minchin Christmas eve which was very nice. I gave everyone socks, Alison gave us all jocks, and Leah provided the chocolate. And now my poor kitten is wearing my new, pink knickers because Alison put them on her and said she was like a superhero cat who wears her undawears on the outside.

Ariadne is unimpressed.

So tired. Going to bed to watch Sherlock Holmes (sorry, Clare! I actually apologise to you out loud every time I watch this movie...) and grin at Jude and RDJ being boyfriends who love each other FOREVERS.

I bet I will be asleep before RDJ even gets to make his first bitchface at Judsie...

I feel so much better about the world in general after talking to my mommy. She's magical. And in 30-some hours, my Jayann will be here.

Freaking YAY.

If you knew what my day included, you would understand why this is necessary.

"No he can't read my..........Poker Face."

(I just realised this makes it sound like my day was hard. It wasn't. It was hilarious and awesome and writeymcwriteygood. With a little bit of Archangel in the mix. Oh Michael, why so srs?)

So...I had this dream, right? I was at a hotel (FOR DEIRDRE'S BIRTHDAY she is my CHARACTER) and it was Halloween and we were partying and Jude Law showed up. Not Flynn, Jude Law. And FOR SOME REASON, he was like "I like you" and I was like "I don't really do men unless I connect with you spiritually and I do not want another one of your random kids you tend to have" and he said, "we can just date without sexings" and I was like "OKAY!"

If you're saying LOLWHUT now, just wait.

So we went to a POOL or something and we were talking by the side of it and I guess I was trying to be sexy so I reached over to pull his glasses off and he screamed and covered his eyes so quickly I gave them back and he explained that when he was a kid, he had this toy that made everything brighter and, being a kid, he thought it would be a GREAT idea to wear them in a solarium and it burned his retinas so now he has to wear special glasses that make it darker. Yeah.

AND THEN I SAID (god, dream me is embarrassing) "But, like...in The Holiday, I read on IMDB that to make your eyes so shiny, they shined lights right into them while filming. And Cameron Diaz had like 4 lights and you had two. Didn't that hurt because you didn't have glasses on the whole movie. OH is that why you wore them for part of it!?" (*headdesk*) And he was like "Yes! And then for the rest I had special contacts in!"

And then he had to go check out of the hotel and so I went to a Halloween party to wait for the date because APPARENTLY the poolside where I burned his retinas wasn't the real date (Phew?!) and then my date changed from Jude Law to Ben. From Darker London. Who is Neil Gaiman. No really, thatoldgeek so I was kind of glad I woke up before the date happened.

My dreams are so weird.

I JUST GOT THE AWESOMEST BIRTHDAY PRESENTS FROM LEWI! Including Season 2 of True Blood and Season 4 of Supernatural. AND SIMS games! Do you know, Honey, when you were all "do you have all the stuff packs" I had NO idea you were trying to grill me for presents. I am so amused. So much so that when I opened the box, I was all "dude, did I have mansion and garden stuff and I left it in Australia?" I am so amused. And now I need a guide for Ambitions, because he got me the latest expansion for SIMS 3 too :D And I got Paranormal Activity. Which I am terrified of. And no one here will watch it with me. Which means I will watch it at night in my room and then die of fright. YAY! Scarymoviesyayomg! +Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, which I love not only because it was Heath's last movie, but because it has Johnny Depp, and Flynn Jude Law and it's weird as hell.

Happy Lara :D And my birthday isn't for two weeks MUAHAHHAHAHAA!!! Thank you, Baby! (And I transferred you the shipping money this morning ;))

I got some more of my things as well (which is why I paid for the shipping!), meaning mostly my Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. Any NZers want to play me (I'M HAN SOLO AND NO YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!)

Yes. I am a nerd.

Went to see Sherlock Holmes again last night because APPARENTLY Melbourne is a city of child movie haters and The Princess and the Frog wasn't playing ANYWHERE I could get to without my car. And brilliant me, I took the train yesterday. Foo. So plans changed, and I'm going this weekend because I.Must.See.It.

So tired. Fell asleep watching Star Trek. Oh how I love...everyone on that show. Except the horrible Dr Pulaski. Stupid season 2. GET OVER WITH SO I CAN HAVE MY REDHEADED DOCTOR BACK! Pulaski can go suck a phaser for SRS.

Now I'm at work and I'm updating business processes and training people which ALWAYS puts me to frickin' sleep (BUT I DO LOVE MY JOB - NO SARCASM). So I'm rocking the caffeine hard and trying to decide what to write but there's so many things to choose from and when I'm overtired and caffinated my mind finds it really hard to make a decision, so instead I sit for HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS TRYING TO DECIDE until I'm too tired and fall asleep.

Stupid...illogical mind. WHY CAN'T I BE A VULCAN?

I love latte.

And Noel Fielding.

Happy birthday to Circe and my Mommy! Also to Peter Kemp, who is 39 and displeased about it. Chin up, old chap. It's not like you're actually getting any older. Moving on...

I.LOVE.LONDON. Like love love. Serious love.

Vienna Love.

I went to the London Dungeons with the lovely Muz, Clare and Lisa. We jumped the line and I got in free, which was quite lovely! It was awesome and more involved than the Edinburgh Dungeon, and Idid the ride again and then Clare bought me pictures of the ride with me screaming and Muz looking too cool, and Lisa and Muz beheading Clare and I! Then we met up with Jess and had lunch where I had fish and fish and fish and chips. No. Really. I'll upload the pictures tomorrow and you'll be amused. And I ended up eating fish and fish and half-fish and half-chips so I finished most of it, GO ME! Then we went to the tower of London, after walking across the tower bridge which REALLY EXCITED ME (it did, ask any of my compatriots) and the tower was awesome and we saw crown jewels OooooOooOOoOOOOooo! Then we went for pizza and then we went on a ghost bus tour which was AWESOME and I saw Big Ben and the houses of parliament AND WE DROVE OVER TOWER BRIDGE IN A DOUBLE DECKER BUS LIKE IN THE MUMMY 2 OMGOMG except Brendan Fraser wasn't there. Which was most upsetting. But a strange and somewhat fit conductor was. He was awesome. It was a great tour. And I got a picture of where Sweeney Todd's place was on Fleet Street! And then when we were walking back to the underground station we passed the theatre where Jude Law is performing Hamlet but I DIDN'T lick him and the fact that he wasn't actually there has NOTHING to do with it at ALL... I'm a good girl.

:D

AND TOMORROW IS DARKER LONDON DAY and I might be having a really excellent time, if you couldn't tell :D
