Stuff and memery
Ok. Slept more than 12 hours straight. I think the new meds are working at least for the insomnia. They give me bloody weird dreams though, and often nightmares:/. There was one where I got flown off to Greenland which wasn't Greenland and was in Kamtchatka or something and it had huuuuge big icy mountain slopes, with lots of happy jolly snowgrouse sliding down them like kids on a waterslide. Or like penguins. There was deep mystical signifigance to this but I seem to have missed the point. They were trying to reach a place with hot springs in a valley so they could meet each other and probably mate, nobody knew what it was for, really. And then there was a strange thing where I was at my 'rents for Xmas and they had stupid buzzing bugs that looked like wasps but were black. And I killed them all with hairspray since nobody had Raid. Eh. And The Incredibles had an abusive, violent incest dad and they had to kill him. Um... does this count for Severely Fucked Up Dreams? Yes, I think it does. Also there may have been Blake and he was in jail. Huh...
Meme of things, quite nifty, nicked from 8pallo and translated into English. Feel free to spread, this is quite interesting and I'm curious what your answers would be...
If I were a month I would be: August.
If I were a weekday, I'd be: Friday or Saturday
...a planet: Pluto
A sea creature: a seal
A direction: the West
A piece of furniture: a really, really big bed with lots of soft velvet cushions and rugs and quilts and bizarre soft toys on it.
A sin: sloth
A liquid: liquid mercury
A tree: a willow, definitely
A weather: slightly overcast but warm, and an evening light rather than the midday sun
An instrument: a shaman's drum or a bodhran (which is the closest thing to one anyway).
An animal: well, duh. A snowgrouse.
A colour: black or dusky sunset purple
A vegetable: Tomato or cabbage (kale)
A sound: rumbling, but of a friendly sort, like a cat's purr or the vibrations of "OM..."
An element: mercury
A car: A hearse. They're pretty and roomy.
A song: This is difficult... uh... "Stupid Girl" by Garbage is always topical...
A movie: probably Heavenly Creatures because of going nuts and reverting to a world inside your head:P
A book written by: Tanith Lee.
A food: chicken is always good. Goes with the grouseness, I suppose:P
A place: a small lake in the middle of an old, old pine forest, its water clean but dark with peat gas, very quiet and secluded. Or then something completely bonkers and fun and aesthetically beautiful, like the mix of architecture at Portmeirion, from all eras and full of tricks and illusions and completely in harmony within the North Welsh mountains and their forests.
A number: 7 and its multiples
A scent: deep red rose, patchouli, gardenia, jasmine, lily... of commercial perfumes, Rush because it contains most of my favourite scents.
The nearest 2nd hand bookshop/comic shop had the summer Nemi album. A new one should be coming out "in September", the summer issue says. Hm. Also, they had Heathers on DVD for only 6e or summat. *TWITCH* I'm sorely tempted. The strangest thing was that I'd dreamt, just the previous night, whether a) there was a new Nemi out and b) whether Heathers was on DVD yet and how hard it would be to find it. o_O...
I also want to go to Helsinki. "I wont 'elsinki!"[/Andy] since it's probably the only time within THE LAST CENTURY that Mum would give me money to buy clothes:P. And and and and Helsinki has bigger H&Ms and FRILLS ARGH LACE AND FRILLS.
