My mind is blown. That sad, puffy old sack, Jeff Conaway, who was such a train wreck on the last season of Celebrity Fit Club, whom I remembered as Kenickie in Grease, had a role in a movie that's been one of my favourite movies of all time, my whole life, second only to The Wizard of Oz: he played Willie Gogan in Pete's Dragon.

I swear I've seen that movie seventeen million times and never knew that was Jeff Conaway.

My Mom called me at work today and invited me over for dinner. She and my Dad are going to Maine tomorrow. (There are no reasons for the things they do.) So I came over and we had coziness and kebabs and then my Dad suggested what I'd been secretly thinking, which was that we watch a Disney movie. So first we watched Dumbo. And then, because (a)they're going to Maine and my mom loves a theme and (b) they know it's my second favourite movie in the whole wide world, they suggested Pete's Dragon.

They just went to bed but I am all full of warm squishy parent-loving content. They even let me sing along to all the songs.

The overture at the beginning, I was surprised to discover, made me cry. A lot. Hard. Because it brought on a wave of Kirsten-missing-ness the likes of which I haven't felt since she moved (a year ago next month.) Nothing transports me to our shared childhood sitting together on the floor under a blanket in front of the tv like this movie. That's the really truly true reason that it's one of my favourites in the world.

I'm a gooey sticky sappy mushy mutha. Stick that in your lighthouse and smoke it.

Where is my accent? Once again, someone expressed surprise that I'm from New York, because of my "nondescript accent".

My moms has an accent. My dads has an accent. My sistahs has an accent. Tante Joan has an accent. They're not cartoonish New Yawk accents or anything, but they're there.

Not that I don't have an accent. I am aware that everyone who speaks has an accent. I have some species of American accent. And that species is "nondescript".

Cheryl has a New England accent. Gina has a Midwestern accent. erin has a Lawn Guyland accent. Kitana has a Canadian accent. Even Steph (A) has a Brooklyn accent, with occasional, amusing dips into the Southern twang of the small Tennessee town where she went to college.

Why am I BORING???

(My theory: Television. I watched more television than anyone in my family as a child. Television made me nondescript.)

I took this test about 5 years ago. Let's compare...

Hmm. I'm less schizotypal (what's that?), less histrionic, less narcissistic and less obsessive-compulsive than I was 5 years ago.

I'm still very borderline, avoidant and dependent.

Fascinating!

I think I've stumbled upon the fundamental issue here, which is that I have grown up to become a person that I don't really like.

That's a problem.

I have a peeling sunburn. I love a peeling sunburn. I really do, it's better than Elmer's glue on the fingers.

Most exciting thing that happened today:

I'm back in ketosis!

Second most exciting:

I installed Firefox.

Third:

I took a sleeping pill and feel I could drop off at any moment.

I am delightfully, deliciously boring. Good night.

Oh. My. GOD. It's like an early birthday present...

My pretty Gosling came over yesterday and we ordered sushi and watched Lady and the Tramp. But first we watched her brilliant film, One Boy in Four Parts. Now she's off to Greece and after that for a fancy-shmancy internship in L.A. with a fancy-schmancy showrunner guy. She's going to be superfamous, mark my words.

Happy birthday, Adam! I thought of you at the top of Spaceship Earth. And when I ate at California Grill (which used to be Top of the World, which was the site of our first date, when we were 8. Remember?)

Damn, Disney World is expensive. I am money-free now.

Stupid screen. Maybe I'll put up a Paypal link. Get Tavie a New Computer Screen Fund.

I am pathetic. Maybe I'll get a raise in July. 2 years, that deserves something... right? No?

I'll practice my Big Sad Eyes.
