dreaming of the apocalypse

I've been having a series of dreams about the apocalypse lately. Never the same apocalypse mind you, just ... apocalypses (and seriously what the hell is the plural of apocalypse?) I never remember my dreams so the fact that I've been remembering them at all is weird, but the fact that my subconscious has decided to play out multiple versions of the world ending in full sci-fi comic book glory is possibly a sign of something. I haven't figured out what it's a sign of yet, but maybe I will soon. Either way, this dream thing is damned cool.

I saw The Exorcism of Emily Rose last night. I liked it. I really like Laura Linney and since I went in knowing it wasn't really a horror movie so much as a legal drama/thriller thing with some horror elements I thought it was pretty cool. Also, I totally love weird Catholic shit. Like, pretty much any movie with a solid backing of Catholic mysticism will hook me.

Today I went shopping and got a whole lot of nothing. It was disappointing but good too, since I really can't afford to be spending money right now. School is going fine. I'm still waiting for half my books to be delivered because my campus bookstore ran out and I had to buy them online instead. That really sucks since the ones I couldn't buy were the ones we're supposed to be reading right now. Instead I'm reading a comic book called Preacher. I haven't gotten very far into it yet but I think I'm going to go take a bath and read it.

I'm really in the mood for a good long Harry/Snape or a Clark/Lex story (au or college fic for the clex) anyone have any recs? I'm just looking for something long and plotty and satisfying. In any fandom really. I want to get into firefly fanfic as well, probably Jayne/Simon, Mal/Jayne, or Mal/Simon. I've discovered that I sort of love Jayne. A lot. Recs of any sort would be smothered to death greatly appreciated.

Hee! I've had a few apocalyptic dreams. I was really fond of the one where after everyone else had died of some death disease, me and the last handful of survivors wound up fighting some giant skeleton monster of evil and death that srpung up from hell. O.o

I really want to see The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Am glad that people seem to like it -- I'm fond of demonic possession stories. Maybe I can convince my father to let me and my brother go see it tomorrow. *ponders*

Preacher is truly awesome. I loved it, myself. Can't help you with the recs, though, not my fandom. :/

!!! One of mine was about a disease too! Except I would up fighting off a group of boys who were all dressed up like the Lost Boys in Peter Pan except they had bows with arrows that would temporarily paralyse you. And I formed a rescue/fight squad with a group of people I went to high school with. It was weird. And kind of fun.

Well, yeah. We should make movies out of our dreams. I'd bet they'd sell... :D
