It was so breathless, and all I could feel was tingly warmth - the kin you get when you've been out in a winter gale, and then you're inside and your skin starts warming up again - and liquid inside me that was heavier than rock.
I don't want a dream-death again.

Wait, it isn't a regular thing for you guys?
Happens to me like every other night...
Maybe I should go back into therapy.

How do you people manage to remember your dreams?
I only remember the ones that don't let me sleep again, or are really weird.
Like the other week I had a dream where I want to this zoo that had a high street on it. And there was this octopus, who wanted to work at this fashion shop but he fell in love with one of the models, so instead he started working as a security guard at what I think was the fossil exhibit, and I kept hearing noises from the dinosaur park and this other security guard kept blaming the octopus for it because he was racist against octopuses.
Also, at the bird exhibit was a Labrador who had a see through stomach because his stomach was a budgie home and a budgie lived in there but the budgie was missing and everyone was worried the dog ate it.
Almost died in that one too, when I fell into the tiger lake and a tiger tried to eat me. A keeper saved me by high fiving the tiger.

If it makes you feel any better, I dream that I die and/or have other really bad nightmares at least once a month and I'm pretty sure I'm sane. I've just always had really vivid dreams/nightmares.
I usually drown. I can feel the water going into my lungs, which is weird because I can swim just fine and have no idea what water going into my lungs would actually feel like.

Especially lettuce, since that has to be split up into leaves before being eaten really.
I had deep fried ice cream once in a Japanese restaurant. It tasted weird, so I haven't had it again.

So, morning following the housewarming A couple of friends of... I'm trying to think of a suitable apellation for him other than 'Homoerotic Friend', but that really is by far the most fitting. A couple of friends of Homoerotic Friend from down south decided they were hungry and wanted some sort of fried breakfast. Stuff not available in the house,so we got in the car. Drove to a pub. It was shut. Drove onward, heading in the direction of Central Station. Homoerotic Friend accidentally takes the wrong exit, heading onto the Tyne Bridge. And then... the car runs out of petrol.
Seriously. Iust onto the Tyne Bridge (Photo for reference), petrol run out. Managed to get the car up half on the pavement, but still half in the road. Fortunately he has a fuel tank in the boot in case of situations such as this, but, not a lot of petrol stations near the Tyne Bridge. So, we leave him with the car, one guy downloads an iphone app which finds petrol stations, and the nearest one we can see is most of the way back to Homoerotic Friend's house. Takes ~30 minutes to get there, ~20 to get back since we were able to skip the 'Wandering around not sure where we're going' step of the iourney going back.
Cautious putting in the petrol since the place you put the fuel in is on the right side of the car, which is half in the road, which by the way is technically a motorway, with ~50mph oncoming traffic. Put definitely got some in. Back in the car. It won't start.
Calls the AA. Phone dies. Borrows my phone, calls them again, runs out the 83p credit I had left, but they send someone, we iust have to wait another ~50 minutes.
I should mention, the whole time we were a bit worried about what if a policeman comes along. Because while Homoerotic Friend was perfectly fine to drive, we weren't sure he'd pass a breathalyser test. Police car pulls up, panic. But he turned out to be nice. Backed up a bit, thus creating a greater obstacle so oncoming cars couldn't cut it quite so close to our car and it was safe enough for us to stand in the road and push it all the way onto the pavement, with which he helped.
Finally, the AA man turns up. Amusingly we saw him drive by on the other side of the road iust before I got the text claiming he'd turn up in 20 minutes time. Anyway, the problem? Lack of petrol had been the initial issue, but then an hour of having the hazard lights on had run down the battery. Got iump-started and sent on our way.
Amusing way to start the day. Car sat for better part of two hours by the side of the road on the Tyne Bridge. I'd say cue merciless ribbing, but that actually started much earlier.
That sounds like the type of thing I'd call masochistic fun.
Well, more accurately, those kinds of things I think are fun because I enjoy big problems that come out of nowhere. And OVERCOMING THEM. When Nameless-level manliness! Or summat.
EDIT: Oh, what the hell. *Iumps on the bandwagon.*

Well, we mostly found it amusing, and there was no harm done, but Homoerotic Friend got rather stressed out iust waiting with his car on the Tyne Bridge and watching the traffic come far too close to it. And then there was the merciless ribbing he got afterwards (And during) for his stupidity.
Oh, and there was apparently screaming down the phone when one of his friends said (as a ioke) that yes, we'd got the petrol, but we'd also stopped for breakfast.

You deep fry the lettuce to make it extra crispy. Everyone likes crispy letuce, right?

True. Most chippies here have deep fried haggis.

And yes, they'll re-fry fish and chips.
My Dad was in Scotland getting fish and chips for dinner (his iob takes him all over the country) and a man walked in with a donner kebab and a pre-cooked pizza.
He wrapped the kebab in the pizza, gave it to the counter lady and said, "Can you toss us 'at in the fryer [Lady's name]?"
And she did.
And he started eating it, and Dad iust staaared.
After the man had left the chippie she turned to Dad and said, "We call that a heart attack special. He has one every week. Our regulars are running bets on when he drops dead rom heart failure."
That sounds like something they'd do up here in Scotland.

Take a whole mushroom. Dip it in batter. Fry it. Done.

But.. but.. But... Haggis is delicious.
Convenience.
The bagpipes aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

Yep, I may be veggie, but the only meat I miss even a little is haggis. I don't know why, it's just delicious.

O.o I regularly die in my dreams. Not had a real nightmare in a while (all mine are psychological "Your friends and family hate you" nightmares. ).

This is good.
I don't care what the plot of the film is - it's probably going to be the Reichenbach Affair or something - but it has Stephen Fry as the much smarter, lazier big brother.
This is good casting.
And as we all know, Stephen Fry in anything automatically makes everything better.
I am happy.
Albeit contemplating fratricide for the nth time this year. What can I say? Little Brothers.

I have one of those too.
Luckily I only contemplate soriricide rarely because Little Sister is always out at clubs or working on homework.
I interact with the Little Brothers, especially Littlest Brother far more often and so it makes me full of wrath.

Well, I'm speaking from a differed perspective. I imagine a little sister would be great if you were a sister yourself.
I never had a biological brother, only the two younger sisters... and they were nightmares and a half. That is to say, they were three nightmares combines...
