I'm up because I had a nightmare...
Dec. 30th, 2012 04:30 am... and woke up at 3.30 with my heart pounding and couldn't go back to sleep.
The nightmare involved:
- The villain from Skyfall
- Janine, my best friend
- Me
- Severus Snape
It was about The Villain having captured Janine and sticking needles and nail scissors into her hands while I was trying to fight him. Severus freed her by some foolish wand waving and got her home. The Villain escaped, alas. Then I was at home (my flat in Vienna), wearing a short knitted dress, brick-red tights and sturdy shoes. I called Severus from my mobile to thank him and see how he was. Then I proposed that we have dinner, which he accepted. I opened the door of my flat. Two small sheets of plywood, which The Villain had placed there, wedged themselves into the space between the door and doorframe, blocking the door. I immediately knew that The Villain was out there, looked up and saw two hands holding a plastic bag ready to be put over my head -- The Villain was lurking in the stairwell. I called Severus again, telling him The Villain was there. Villain and plastic bag advanced towards me.
I woke up.
Tried to go back to sleep, but every time I closed my eyes the plastic bag was there.
So I decided to get up and have a *very* stiff gin-and-tonic. Which accounts for any typos I'm too cross-eyed by now to correct.
Going back to bed now, hoping for conspicuous absence of villains and plastic bags. And brick-coloured tights.
