This Is A Prescription For No.

Last night I dreamt I was in a big fancy house that flooded violently, almost drowning me and everyone inside. This was somehow my fault. I think it involved a giant fishtank.

The authorities showed up at the drenched house afterwards, to determine what had happened. I thought, Okay, I'm probably going to get in trouble for flooding this place, but it might be a manageable amount of trouble.

They said they wanted to speak to Amanda, one of the residents of the house.

I suddenly recalled I'd accidentally given Amanda a recipe for a cake that makes you claw off your face and die if you eat it, and she'd cheerfully, unsuspectingly gone upstairs to make this cake.

So they were going to go upstairs and find her dead with no face, and I was the only other person in the house.

This was a pretty fucked-up dream and I was freaked out when it woke me up in the night, but now, in the light of day, I can't stop laughing at the face-claw death cake.


Scrubs is a great show if you have a lot of feelings about the power of friendship, and I really, really do. JD and Turk have such an intense relationship. JD showed up drunk at Carla's bridal shower, screaming through tears that she'd never understand Turk like he did!

'Guy Love', from the musical episode, is basically No Homo: The Song, but I still love it. 'It's like I've married my best friend, BUT IN A TOTALLY MANLY WAY.' (The musical episode is fun, but it does have the unfortunate tendency to get 'Everything Comes Down to Poo' stuck in my head for weeks on end.)

There was an entire early episode about Elliot's lack of interest in babies, so it's a little strange that she's characterised as baby-obsessed in later seasons.

We're in late season six, which means we're hitting the occasional episode I haven't seen before. I crowed with laughter when JD persuaded Jordan to name the baby 'Jennifer Dylan'. Dr Cox's child is called JD! It's everything JD could ever have wanted!

Well that's a recipe you only give to someone once. ^^;;

I don't understand how I accidentally gave her that recipe. I feel, if you happen to know a face-claw death cake recipe and you want to instruct someone on how to make a less dangerous cake, you're going to be extra careful that you give them the correct recipe.

see when I have seriously fucked up dreams with ludicrous elements I lack the equilibrium to laugh about it when I wake up! that *does* sound fairly ridiculous...

In the night the 'OH NO, SHE WAS MAKING THE FACE-CLAW DEATH CAKE' revelation woke me up in horror and I was afraid to go back to sleep for a while, but in the morning I tried to tell my friends about it and ended up laughing myself to tears. I hope the cake at least tasted good.

Maybe it's the goodness of the cake that makes you claw your own face off--in delight!

My first thought was "Why would you leave your recipe for face-claw death cake together with your other cake recipes?

Jennifer Dylan! I remember that!

[rionaleonhart]

I actually delivered the recipe verbally. I was trying to tell her how to make some other, non-murderous cake, but it slipped my mind and I accidentally gave her the face-claw death cake recipe instead. I think I recognised my error shortly after she went off to make it, but somehow it didn't occur to me to chase her down and correct her.

I now have a craving for dangerous cake. Thanks.

Stay away; it's not worth it!

Face-off cake!

Last night I dreamed I had a secret mission involving taking a small Dalek in my backpack, while wearing a jet-pack too ...I was worried because as I was walking to where I had to take off, the Dalek kept starting to say "VICTIMS WILL BE EXTERMINATED" and I was sure someone would hear, and I'd be caught. Also, me and another person were doing the "Match of the Day" tune to a cat, who was nodding his head in time with the music ...

[rionaleonhart]

Carrying a Dalek around sounds extremely dangerous, but I love the idea of serenading a cat with 'Match of the Day'. (That's probably going to be stuck in my head for a while, now.)

[trepkos]

It was only a little Dalek ...
