i went back to sleep this morning and had a very weird, convoluted and involved dream - the kind you only seem to have when you fall asleep with the lecky blanky on 3 and a 900 year old jack russell terrier cuddled up to you

i dreamed i was driving around dunedin in a van, solving the city's internet connection problems. of course, this IS my specialty profession - little known fact for those of you reading at home. lucky i had an assistant, but he was a bit of a maverick and you could never be sure what he would say to the customers

then we were packing up from one of the jobs we had been to and he said "don't forget this" and it was a chinchilla. "no, i said, that was here when we got here" "it's true", said the chinchilla, "i belong here" and then the chinchilla proceeded to have a dust bath in a dish of flour

then i woke up, a bit hot and what now with the who now

my sister anne used to have a chinchilla. her name was holly, and she did used to take baths in a dish of flour.

my sister announced last night that she wants to get a monkey. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, monkeys freak me out. and then she said i would be okay with the monkey, because i was going to turn into the crazy cat lady from the simpsons, and i would have plenty of cats to throw at the monkey

ppttttssssssssccccchhhhhhh

as if

it's like all the times in the past when various ex boyfriends have said "i can't believe how much you remind me of:

1. joey from friends


2. lisa simpson "because you're all tubby in your bathing suit, and your legs are stumpy just like hers!"


3. homer simpson (unfortunatey, i'd just been sprung, lying in bed, eating chips from the bag and trying to lick the crumbs off myself, so i didn't have a strong platform from which to launch my scathing comeback)


4. kim from kath & kim


5. cartman


6. equal draw between patsy and edina from ab fab

i mean, really. to know me is to love me
