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

I am in the US and already I have lost my cousin. Not...dramatically. She was going to meet me in the international arrivals lounge and here I sit and I cannot find her. So, alas, I think my San Fransico Sara plans have been dealt a deathly blow.

I am so dramatic when I am sleepy. Also I was talking to my step-daddy and the stupid phone cut me off :( And my mommy isn't home to complain to. HUMPH! And today is very windy up in the skies. Both flights have been like long earthquakes. In the air. In a tube.

I slept on the plane and totally snored. Buuahaha! I also watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes twice because once I chose it and then they showed it again on the long flight where they don't have on demand. So I got to notice all the parts they edited out. Like Draco Malfoy's Tom Felton's fate. It just went black. Glad I saw it with that bit in because...uhm...yeah. Also James Franco is tasty as is Frieda Pinto.

All I can see out the window here is smog and smart carts. But it's a magical land, yo. GOD the US depresses me so much. Seriously. And no one is here yet to make it better!

EDIT: The 'welcome to the US' video they showed in customs had all these Americans going "welcome to our country" and not one of them was Native American though they seemed to work every other race of people in there (so at least it wasn't white-washed which is something). You'd think, considering it's a welcome to our country video, they should like...put some of the people who were here first in the damn video. Just a thought.

Cantabrians, Treat Me (http://www.treatme.co.nz/Christchurch) has a deal for a $79 dentist check up and clean. I totally took that, since as a poor student I can't usually afford the dentist. Now to book in before heading to the US. Which is difficult since much of my time before I head off, we're going South to Fiordland. Though if I don't use the booking before I head off, I have until the 2nd of Feb. I'd like to do it before though. YAY dentist!

Guy Fawkes was awesome. I hate fireworks and since I live two houses away from Firework Park, I decided to partake in some Bravery Vodka in the form of vodka and oranges. Better than anything else where you can taste the alcohol, bleh. Apparently I spent a great deal of time hugging people and clinging to Alison's leg. And Woot says I nommed his ankle. I also professed my love for Simon about 20 times and called him pretty, according to him. Spamming Tumblr askboxes is so classy. Hey, at least I'm an affectionate drinker. And now that Guy Fawkes is over, let's just NOT have more Bravery Vodka. Until next year.

I have to say, it did help. Instead of screaming and hiding and crying, I was lying on the grass and staring up as the fireworks went off above me. It was pretty.

Now if only all my friends were well again, that would make me happy! In the meantime, I will settle for walking to the store once it's open, and purchasing and eating a chicken. Yep.

EDIT: DENTIST BOOKED for Wednesday at 9:30am. Woot! Now to the store for chickens!

EDIT 2: AUUUUGGHHHHHHH I opened the door to let Helios Tiberius Fassbender in and a white-tailed spider FELL ON ME! AAUUUGGGHHHH HEART-ATTACK SPIDER! So I killed it in the midst of my freaking out and then felt bad I didn't just trap it under something and relocate it. Sorry, spider. But pls no falling on me.

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.
