Fuck, I hate having dreams about having children, because I am always immensely depressed when I wake up from them. Last night's was a particularly vivid one, too, and some kind of crazy wish-fulfilment thing where I had twins, a boy and a girl (which is very unlikely to happen in our family) and they had some of the names that I would like to give children if I had them, and I even thought, WHILE IN THE DREAM, 'it's nice that this isn't a dream for once' and 'isn't it great that I've somehow managed to become a mother while 21, so I won't be old when they're growing up'.

I HATE MY SUBCONSCIOUS. Waking up was a bizarre process in which my ovaries were yelling SOMEONE STOLE YOUR BABIES. QUICK. GET THEM BACK.

Luckily I know that real babies are nowhere NEAR as well-behaved as dream babies, and only people with VERY supportive partners (or, you know, ANY PARTNER AT ALL) have babies while in med school, so I am not about to run out and attempt pregnancy. But it was unpleasant.

More cheerfully: WATCHMEN TRAILER. jksskjfhsh. Initial viewing suggests that Matthew Goode doesn't look all that crash-hot with blond hair, poor dear, but the visuals look STUNNING.

I just keep rewatching the trailer and going !!!!!!!! at the Comedian and his flamethrower, oh holy shit PERFECT. And Rorschach and HIS 'flamethrower'. And Dr. Manhattan in 'Nam. And the riot looking SO RIGHT. And Veidt's purple suit. There's a lot of things that suck about the trailer as well (Silk Spectre II, uggggh no), but OH MAN.

(I can't quite shake the fear that the film - from what I've seen so far - seems to be Missing The Point in a kind of fundamental way, but... hm. Hopefully it's just that the trailer and promo shots are designed to lure in the unwary masses with shallow promises OF LOOK SUPERHEROES KICKING ASS AND BLOWING SHIT UP.)

Yeeeeah. I mean. The riot scene almost looks out of place, which it really SHOULDN'T. But even if there's a bit of point-missing I expect to enjoy it thoroughly.

Watchmen looks so fucking amazing.

[unravels.livejournal.com]

Watchmen OMG. \o/

The music they chose for it makes me think that this is not a superheroes-blowing-shit-up kind of movie, despite all the footage showing just that, but maybe I am overly optimistic. Oh well. Until my feeble hopes are dashed, then. ;)

OH SHUT UP

[ashen_key]

OH, I HAVE THOSE DREAMS! Even down to the names. INCLUDING THE FREAKING MIDDLE ONE.

Except once, the little girl was a toddler. AND SO DAMN ADORABLE.

But. Yes. Those Dreams. -_-

YEP. MINE HAD MIDDLE NAMES TOO.

Be quiet, ovaries, I am way too young for you to be acting up.

[ashen_key]

I think the middle name/s make it worse. Because then, you know, you have the full name AND the kid/s and you wake up and it's...ow.

Ahaha, and word.

My subconscious even came up with better names! Or at least twiddled the order around a bit.

...what names did YOURS come up with? :D

[ashen_key]

Elizabeth "Libby" May - Elizabeth is a common family name on my mother's side and one I like, Libby is my favourite nickname of it, and May is from Lillian May, who was my paternal great-grandmother who had the guts to immigrate to Aus from Ireland when she was fourteen with only her best friend.

...what did YOURS come up with?

Well, at the moment I like Sophie Nina and Nicholas William, but my subconscious apparently decided to throw out all reference to my family* and gave me Beth Sophie and Nicholas Paul instead.

*PROBABLY ALARMING AND FREUDIAN

[ashen_key]

Oh, I DO like those names.

(*pats*)

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I do really like Nicholas Paul, but I think I prefer Sophie Nina.

SO THERE, BRAIN.

[ashen_key]

Sophie is a gorgeous name. Sadly, Nina, although I like the flow of the name, reminds me of my boss's eldest daughter, with whom I do not particularly get along.

Nina is my mother's name! So :) No bad associations there.
