Things:
- I had a dream Jason Vorhees was going to machete one of my friends to death. “So here’s the plan,” I told my peeps. “We will stay away from [friend].” And then they were like, all appalled at me and I was like, “What? Why are you all looking at me like that?!” Some people, I’m telling you. Everyone KNOWS you don’t step in front of Jason when he’s going for the kill. It is a foolish thing to do and it ain’t gonna save anybody. So I spent the whole dream pacing by the windows, worried as all get out he’d mistake me for my friend. When I woke up, I got out my dream dictionary and discovered my dream means I am cruel, yet practical. And also very, very pretty.- I can’t stop watching zombie movies when I write. I love zombie movies. I have have decided zombie movies are so inspirational they should be placed on the Inspirational shelf in most stores. Maybe I’m a big weirdo but there’s something strangely comforting about watching people being stripped of everything that makes their lives worth living and still wanting to live in spite of it. It’s ~*poignant*~. Another thing that’s great about zombies is that they’re not a romantic embodiment of death, like say, oh, I dunno… vampires.
- I’m completely addicted to and weirdly fascinated with that TLC show, Say Yes to the Dress. I spend the whole hour rolling my eyes and making snarky remarks at all the brides who spend insane amounts of money on a dress (read: all of them) and then I cry with them when they find The One because I cry at everything. Or maybe I’m not crying at the sentimentality of it all, I’m crying at the insane amounts of money being spent on dresses and how many Yamaha Clavinovas that money could buy. I can safely say I would never spend that much money on a wedding dress. EVER. I’m still talking about the one woman who dropped $11k on a dress and got married at Disneyland. I can’t even remember if she was the same woman who bought her wedding dress and then came back and bought ANOTHER one she could relax in after the ceremony, during the reception. Anyway, it is a great show, basically, but I have a feeling I think it’s a great show for all the wrong reasons. I don’t know. Fridays at 10 PM EST, bbs!

Actually, I believe she bought THREE dresses, bb. She came back AGAIN and bought another one for…some silly reason. (Note: I may be wrong, but I feel like I remember that.) Anyway, SAY YES TO THE DRESS FTW!
Also, I am dying to know who the friend in your dream was! Hopefully a real life friend. And not someone whose name rhymes with Pori. I am sooo glad I didn’t go to Halloween Horror Nights this year because the “theme” was horror movie characters such as…Jason Vorhees. EEK.
THREE? I can’t keep track. She was the one that had two ceremonies right? Disneyworld and traditional Muslim (I bet Disneyworld got the priority!!). Did you see SYTTD last night?! Omg. Claudia, that saleswoman who refuses to listen, almost had a dress sale in the bag but another consultant wanted the dress Claudia had her customer in and they had a tiff in front of the customer and the customer was like, I DON’T NEED TO FEEL GUILTY WHEN I AM GOING TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY. And then since Claudia started at the top of the customer’s budget and the customer had to go think about whether or not she really wanted it and there was no sale. If Claudia ever sells a dress on TV I wonder if there will be a big celebration.
Ahaha, it was totally a real life friend, BB.
AAAAH THAT WOULD’VE BEEN SO AWESOME. *jealous* I mean, I know you didn’t go but YOU HAD THE OPTION WHICH RULES.
“I’m crying at the insane amounts of money being spent on dresses and how many Yamaha Clavinovas that money could buy.”
Oh my God, the phrase “Yamaha Clavinovas” is so brilliant. I know you didn’t invent it, but thank you so much for introducing it to me. Yamaha! Clavinova!
If I’d been drinking tea or something when I read that line, you’d owe me a new monitor by now.
(I’ve seen that show too, and I think the first thing I said was, “You’d totally have to be married/engaged/in a relationship to work there, or else you’d be SO BITTER.”)
Heh. I love when phrases/words just hit you right.
The best kind of Yamaha Clavinova is the SLIMLINE! GAWD I WANTS IT SO BADDD.
Omg, you know what though!! It’s funny you wrote that because one of the lead consultants or whatever (Elise or something–I love her) she has been married and divorced three times, or she’s had three fiances or something and it’s never worked out but she loves working there. I thought that was so cool. Because yeah, if it was me I’d probably work there soley for the purpose of sabotaging brides with insane budgets. That’s mean but… still true. Mwahahahaha.
“Cruel, yet practical” needs to be your stand alone author bio. MAKE THEM WONDER!
…
YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I WONDER IF THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED.
Kim is so right. I latched onto that phrase myself, but Kim beat me to it. Side note: some people interpret practicality as cruel because it is not sentimental.
Heh, man. I really must look into this phrase as being apart of my bio!
And I can totally see that re: side note. Especially in the case of zombie invasions! And Jason Vorhees!
If you can work yamaha clavinova or zombie in your bio, too, I will be awed for …ever. :)
I agree on the zombie movies and I also tend to have a lot of zombie dreams. My fav zombie flick is 28 Days Later (and not just because of the scene where Cillian Murphy shaves and we find out he’s *hot*). I mean, personally, I hardly noticed that scene.
em: … I feel I have to try now!
CK: I LOVE 28 Days Later! Love love love it! And I hardly noticed that scene too. ;)
I think it’s one of the best zombie flicks running in a long time. I actually cared about the charactes, which was nice. Also stressful the first time I watched it (I am still devastated about Frank).
Crazy. I stumbled on here and ended up finding my favorite word of all time: ZOMBIES.
I’m with you. I think vampires (at least nowadays) are so hip, they’ve become boring. I might write a gritty vampire story to bring the genre back where it belongs.
Y’know. After I edit my zombie epic.
TKT: See, gritty vampires and zombie epics, these are worthy literary endeavours!!! I salute you! :)
