Poptart

Last night I dreamt that Brad left Angelina for me.

He also, unfortuntely, took his 4 children with him, which is when the dream turned into a nightmare! (While the kids are cute, Maddox teases his siblings relentlessly and Shiloh is a biter LOL).

I was obviously concerned about the Brad plus baggage, because in the dream I called my mum who said that I must really love him if I was willing to take him and his four kids. I think that's when I woke myself up, as it was really starting to get scary LOL.

To completely change subjects now, I walked to a different bus stop this morning. Just felt like a change of scenery, different houses to look at. I'm lucky in that I live within about 500m of three different bus routes, so get to pick and choose which one I take depending on how late I'm running LOL.

I live in a really diverse neighbourhood, quite close to the city centre.

In the few streets surrounding my house, you have trendy urban professionals buying renovated villas and bungalows (or buying unrevonated villas and bungalows and doing them up), who drink imported beer, have a large SUV parked outside, and have kids called Peregrine and Francesca and Hugo.

Then there's the tougher streets with residents who live in older, run down villas and bungalows, who drink Tui, who have a 1988 Toyota Corolla parked out front and have kids called Santana, Jahymee and Rage (I kid you not, the kid two doors down is called Rage).

Then there's the weirdo old lady at number 21 who I swear lives in her garage. And it's not one of those nice garages-slash-sleepouts. It has concrete floors, no windows and would be really cold. I walked past once and the side door to the garage was open and I could see a bed, stacks of newspapers and clothes. She also has heaps of cats, only seems to wear a grey overcoat and walks around talking to herself.

Down the road a bit lives the 10 year old pyro, who I caught twice trying to burn down the large pohutukawa tree opposite my house.

Yes, it's a very diverse neighbourhood indeed.
