"I can't believe you're gonna let a few little letters of the alphabet keep us apart. It is a detail! Just - look, just call me Damon, okay?"

so, it must be a mark of being a thirty-something-singleton or hormones gone crazy or SOMETHING because i keep having dreams about dating famous actors. most of them i don't even like. for example, i had a dream that i was a movie production assistant responsible for picking up george clooney in a red convertible to take him to the set. and of course, along the way, we got "distracted" and started making out. george clooney? i watch oceans 11 for brad, matt, and the mormon twins, not george. and in another dream, i went to the movies with my boyfriend, ben afleck. during the movie, i started falling asleep on his shoulder and he leaned over and whispered, "baby, i'm just not good enough for you" and left just as i was falling asleep. ben afleck? really!? he only looks good when he's tan and sweaty! it's strange really, i never dream about actors that i actually like. until now . . .

in this latest one, robert downey, jr. was my boyfriend. and the thing is, well, i love him. I. LOVE. HIM. i have feelings for him. in fact, it's been a decades long crush ever since i saw weird science. he was so sarcastic and witty, and a total jerk, but he was my favorite part of that movie. i also think he is an amazing actor (not many earn respect from me) - and yes, i loved ironman, okay? i definitely have a thing for scruffy guys with dark hair and eyes (including but not limited to: jeffrey dean morgan, bruce campbell, lee pace, river phoenix, keanu reeves, zachary levi, jim from the office, etc.) . and yes, i'm aware that i sound like a 13-year-old.

{holy crap, i want to sop him up with a biscuit}

so, in this robert downey, jr. dream, i could also sing. like a rock star. i think i sang throughout the entire dream just because i could. i have always wanted to be able to sing - and i can't, not at all. not even a little tiny bit. apparently, my dream (i.e. the universe) is trying to tell me that if i take some singing lessons, i will eventually meet and marry robert downey, jr. and have a bazillion of his babies. hey, a girl can dream . . .
