Benny Hill theme goes here.

So my flight up to Brisbane for this evening has been CANCELLED because of the storms, and I've been put on one at 6am tomorrow instead. WOO SLEEPOVER AT THE AIRPORT!!! Just the way to start the holiday season!

Brisbane friends and relatives, if you end up being given a small motorised plane toy or some general interest magazines for Christmas, please don't think too poorly of me.

Anyway! I am able to use the airport internet until 9pm (in about four and a half hours) and then I'll be finding a corner somewhere and napping under whatever summer-in-Queensland clothing I find in my bag which might make a suitable blanket.

PLEASE SAY DISTRACTING THINGS!

Ahaha aw *SMUSH*

No, as I said to my mother on the phone just before (SHE WAS GOING TO MAKE ME PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST ZEE. MY MOTHER WHOM I NEVER GET TO SEE EXCEPT ON HOLIDAYS WAS GOING TO MAKE ME PANCAKES AND NOW SHE CAN'T D:), my second-half-of-2007 is pretty much the story of 'scene: an airport. Music: the Benny Hill theme'.

Wait, are you still in Melb? Maybe you should come back to your house for sleeping? I can give you some money for early morning taxis or something later tonight, if you want?

Eh, it's such a hassle/expense getting to and from the airport, and I'm here now, so I might as well sleep it out (though gold stars to you for being more mature than me and also more mature than your younger self, who might have walked home or slept in a construction site! <3). But thank you for offering. :)

Lulz. Normal, sensible rules only apply to people who I have a sense of preservation for. You know how it goes.

And hey, airport is fine if it's easier! I just didn't want you to feel all stranded and alone. That's what makes debatabley insane decisions unfun. DDD:

I only feel stranded and alone insofar as I'd rather sit around here abusing Virgin's internet access until they kick me out of the lounge for being a scruffy hooligan than traipsing all the way back to my admittedly very awesome but nevertheless far away flat. Plus: 6am. I'd have to be up at like three in the morning anyway, and knowing me I'll sleep better here than there, ahaha.

You know what would make this airport WAY BETTER, though? I think you do. (hint: its last name is not "BETTER" i think you see what i did there)

DO YOU WANT AN AWESOME POSTCARD OF QUEENSLAND? SOME OF THEM HAVE PICTURES OF TANNED PEOPLE, BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS YOU CAN'T GET CANCER FROM THE SUN OR ANYTHING.

So, okay, in the imaginary vampire au written by Devin Grayson and Gerard Way, Bruce Wayne lives in the house in the centre of Gotham, which towers over all the others, partly because it's set on the hill which is the center of Gotham, and partly because four generations ago, mad William Wayne began adding to it, towers and crenelations, baileys. Those who have been inside say there are stairs which climb five stories without rails and then end in mid-air, leading to nothing, and rooms which can only accessed by trap-door, but very few have been inside-- most tradespeople are greeted at the door Bruce's dower old servant, Ms. Pennyworthy. They say Ms. Pennyworth was young once, but then again, they say Wayne drinks the blood of young girls who go out after the curfew is rung.

Parts of the Wayne House have escaped its walls and curl up with its neighbours, and since Wayne is the Landlord of half of Gotham, there's not much you could do if old mad William built a tunnel through your living room window and out your kitchen chimney. Some people in Gotham can look out their parlour and into Wayne's wine-celler. Generally, those people put up curtains.

Young Todd is a sweep. He's been a sweep's boy since his mother gave him a bit of sugar-candy to suck and put his hand in the hand of the blackened man. He sees his mother still, sometimes, but Davy Gutterflu keeps him too busy, most times. Gutterflu is a bundle of sticks held together with grease, and soot, and invective, the latter of which Young Todd admires, the former of which he rather fears. Gutterflu has taught Young Todd a great deal about chimneys, wich Young Todd has not found particularly interesting, and a small amount about thievery, which he has. During the summer months, when most of Gotham is too hot for even a kitchen fire, Young Todd is creeping down chimneys and scraping out creosote, but when he's not, he's creeping down chimneys all the same with cotton bags which he'll turn inside out when he gets to the bottom and put on his hands and feet so he can pad through the owners' house without leaving soot-marks.

Young Todd certainly didn't mean to climb down a Wayne chimney: it would be a mad thing to do. But in certain parts of Gotham, the Wayne House is so entangled with its neighbours, like heap of drunken revellers whose limbs cannot be sorted out, that it is possible to become confused about which chimney leads to which house.

I've been told by sources in the know that it's possible to abuse avail yourself to the wireless signal coming from the QANTAS lounge at Tullamarine. I wasn't able to find the lounge, but I only had 3 hours to wait. Maybe you'll do better.
