So this morning I was dreaming about Stephen Moyer, aka Bill Compton of True Blood fame. I like TB Bill better than I like books Bill. Anyway, I was dreaming I was in my house (not my real house) and the roof had been torn off the attic bedroom by Lorena (Bill’s creator) in a fit of jealous rage — btw, I have NOT seen the famous “water cooler shocking sex scene” episode yet, so DO NOT SPOIL ME…but it involved lots of blood and heart-eating and threeway sex in a messy bed…
Where was I?
Oh, right, so the vampire bitch ripped the roof off. But before that, Bill and I were getting cozy, and he was high on vampire blood (do they get high on their own blood?! FFS, see how complicated this was?) and he was all giddy and giggly and not intense like Bill is on the show, mostly.
And then I had to find Anna Paquin on Twitter to tell her how much I love her boyfriend, because even though in the dream I’m sure I was Sookeh, I was *NOT* Anna Paquin.
And then, perhaps because of all the teeth and blood, I started dreaming about sharks.
And then the phone rang. Early. And woke me. And then I couldn’t get back to sleep.
But it made me think about sharks, and here’s the thing, the trufax: I am not alone in this, either — I have a deep-seated and primal fear of sharks.
99.9% of my time I’m not anywhere a shark could possibly even be close enough to me to bite me, and I’m still freaked out by sharks. Alligators, too. Must be the teeth. I’m not afraid of spiders (though they creep me out) or snakes (except poisonous ones, duh). But sharks, man. Sharks are horrifying. They’re awful. They’re scary!
So I put JAWS on my streaming list. Why? Why not!
I am so tired my eyes are blurry, but hey, I’m up now. It’s already 9 am, the house is still quiet, I’m going to get some writing done.
Stay sharp, ya’ll.

I can get you up close and personal with a gator. We will conquer your fear!!! Just like I’m learning to with my fear of insects.

What an insane dream.
A&E had a documentary on the making of Jaws and it was interesting. I like that movie — I’m adding it to the instant queue too.

Ugh, I hate sharks. Glad that we haven’t them over here.
Sounds you had a weird dream. Glad mine was good tonight because it was full moon here. Great Spirit thanks

True story. About 3 yrs ago cruised on down to Mexico Beach (happens to be the area all the shark attacks happened not too long ago) and after un-loading the truck in insansely HOT weather, the kids and I RAN down the beach and into the water.
About 2 seconds after entry, my hubby races down flaying his arms about and screaming ‘outta the water’.
I learned I could carry kids AND walk on water.
Who knew?
