Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I really want to see the Simpsons movie. Maybe this week while I am trapped in Orlando.

I support this course of action. There is much laughter to be had.

Bwah! This covers a multitude of topics for me.

Oh, I hear ya', sister.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Things I have learnt today: the iTunes store only has one Savage Garden song. And that makes me sad.

Huh. Which one?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They have "I knew I loved you before I met you." I know there's one that I have an irrational love for, but have been trying to protect myself from that knowledge.

And there's another song I love and can't even remember enough about it to see if I already have it. Some Euro band, singing about a guy she loves in a dream.

Or something.

I have the worst music memory.

Me! Me!

But which side??

Hate cilantro, love ruby red grapefruit

The side feeding them to an undiscerning goat, apparently.

Right! Goat. I skimmed (ETA: Well, no. I just didn't retain well). And I'm right there with you. If I had a goat.

I wish I had a goat.

Curried, preferably, but the Oaxacan BBQ is also quite tasty.

Gah! Now the song is half-haunting me, but not completely enough for me to be able to google it. The lyrics (that are not right enough) stuck go "At night in my sleep, I dream of you."

Or something like that.

It got wedged in my mind ('93? '94?) after I dreamt of one guy three nights in a row.

That's so not my style but he was magnetic, perplexing, and prettier than Victor Webster.

Want song now.

Wow.
