Monday again...

It's not an entirely bad day, just I had some strange dreams before waking up, including snow in Seattle that made awesome snowballs, and living at my aunt's house, while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were visiting. And I think I dreamed about making cards, but seeing as I spent a good chunk of yesterday doing just that, it's not entirely surprising. :)

Speaking of, this Halloween card needs a good home. :)

In other news, the craft fair went relatively well. I only sold a couple of hats, but it was enough to pay for my half of the table and to get some Burger King while I waited for Jerome to get done working. I think I took too much stuff, though, because my half of the table looked really cluttered. I need to work on my display options when I have half a table. I'm already thinking one of my display heads instead of two, and maybe taking less stuff... ;)

I am definitely not making more hats this week, though. :)

Hey, I'm doing pretty good with this posting thing. Maybe I'll start doing it every day again! :)

Today's word: toomuchstufftodo. Yes, I know that's not a word. :) But I just got to work maybe 20 minutes ago (I always get in early so I can waste some time before I get started. :) ), and I already made my "to do" list for when I get home tonight. There are only 9 things on it! Three of the things could be saved for later, but it's a lot of writing, which I seem to do more of when Jerome is not home, and tonight is his late class.

(On a slight tangent, I know that just as soon as I get used to this schedule of his, it's going to change. In fact, I think he has four more weeks on this schedule? Crazy schools on the quarter system...)

At any rate... yeah, too much stuff to do. Partially my own fault, of course, as I choose to do so much stuff, but I really can't sit still and do nothing. I'm horrible at it. :( I just need to learn how to pace it all out a little better, so that I don't have some nights that are completely overloaded, and others that are not.

I have this odd feeling that I had a really weird dream last night, but I can't remember it now (of course). I know that the dream I had on Monday night / Tuesday morning was a crazy one, though, so it may still be residual weirdness from that. Just try to imagine a mix between The Shining and Harry Potter (from the perspective of someone who has never read Harry Potter), and that's about how it was. With a 10 year old girl driving a motorcycle.

Yup, that's my life. :)

Another weird dream last night... let's see what I can remember of it...

Apparently I was working at some type of fast food place... initially it was a taco place, but eventually it was also a pizza place, and then a Quizno's... (hmm... anybody think I was a little hungry while I was sleeping?)... I have NO idea why I was working there... but at some point, I was talking to one of the other employees, and a group of guys walked in... among this group was Bradzerker, Rafe, and this guy Bob that I went to high school with... and somehow they all knew each other (which they don't) and were there taking a break from some game that they were all playing.

Then it gets a lot fuzzier, but I remember later finding out that the people who came in weren't ACTUALLY the people I thought they were, but aliens posing as those people... or something bizarre like that... which made sense, as I thought about it in my dream, cuz Bob didn't look quite right, and didn't recognize me at first...

Yeah, okay, that one was pretty messed up. :)

Garou meeting last night went well, and didn't last forever this time... :) And today is my last day of work for the week... w00t! :) I get to go see PPG tonight, though not with my girlies... :( Just checked the showtimes... 5:30... w00t! :)

I had the weirdest dream last night. Apparently, I was in a band with Jim, D.J., and Paul (all guys from E-ville), and we were playing a show, somewhere... it must have been something like Six Flags, or maybe Silver Dollar City... just a big open stage, outside. It was an odd band, because I was playing an electric guitar that wasn't plugged in, but I was playing it more like you would play bass... sorta... Jim was playing an acoustic (that may have been plugged in), and D.J. and Paul were both playing bass, I think... so no drummer, and I don't think any of us were singing, either. I can't even remember how the music sounded, now! :)

Now if that's not weird enough, then we went to this really ginormous house for some reason... like three or four stories, lots of stairs, and I think there were some secret passages or something. And I guess we were in the house, and we (or maybe just I) ran into W'raa... so then W'raa and I are walking around, except then we're definitely at Six Flags... and I guess we were walking the tracks of one of the roller coasters or something, and I was carrying the guitar I had been playing earlier and my lunchbox...

Now as a side note for those who have never seen my lunchbox, this is important. It's a red plastic lunchbox, that used to be Megan's Dick Tracy lunchbox... except I peeled the Dick Tracy sticker off of it, and covered it with other stickers. Most of them are really silly and cutesy, but it's literally COVERED with stickers. I get a lot of comments on it when I'm in the elevator, or walking around campus with it... :) At any rate, it's one of my prized possessions...

... so back to the dream... W'raa and I are walking, and somehow the lunchbox escapes my grasp, and goes flying into this lake-like body of water underneath the roller coaster (or whatever we were walking on)... so I could still see it, but there was no way to get it back... it's sort of like when you ride the roller coasters at Six Flags, and see all the hats and sunglasses that have fallen off... but people never get those back, at least as far as I know. And all I did in response to losing my lunchbox was say "Crap." And then I guess I woke up...

Which reminds me... stupid power going out 5 minutes before I was supposed to wake up today! Cuz when the power goes out, the answering machine beeps... that was another odd thing. I must have still been dreaming when the answering machine beeped, because I could have sworn that as I woke up, I heard someone finish leaving a message... but I hadn't heard the phone ring. And there was no message on the machine, either.

Maybe I'm suffering from sleep deprivation... I did get a couple more hours of sleep on Saturday, after breakfast... and I got about 5 hours of sleep on Sunday morning, after chilling with the guys late Saturday night... but at the moment, it really doesn't look like I'm going to have much of a chance to get extra sleep this week... :)

Ah well... yet another Garou ST meeting tomorrow night, and hopefully it will be the last one before the next game... otherwise next week is going to be just as hectic as this one!

The PowerPuff Girls movie comes 9 days from now!!!! And I get to go see it with Assie and Mander! w00t! :)

Well, I'm back to doing the Friday Five!

1. What's the last vivid dream that you remember having? I usually remember my dreams most every night, but the last one that I can still remember is from last week sometime. I had a dream that I was at Broken Sword, and Akasha (my friend Jenny's character) did something, so Morgan (my character) attacked her, and Akasha ended up killing Morgan. So then, later on, Akasha got hit with a derangement, and she had to come to me to figure out what derangement it was (apparently I was an ST for the game!). The one we pulled from the "derangment deck" was Harano, which is actually a Werewolf thing... and when she asked me to explain it, I said that it was about doubting your self worth and such (and then I remember this quote specifically) "because you just killed a fucking Bishop!" Yeah, I have odd dreams. :)

2. Do you have any recurring dreams? When I was a kid, I did. I would dream that I was staying at my grandma's house, upstairs, in the room that used to be my dad's room. In my dream, I'd wake up, and there would be an amber colored nightlight on, and a radio that was tuned to some talk station. Then I'd look towards the stairs, and there would be a really big, black Chinese dragon with red eyes sorta stalking up the stairs. And then I would wake up. The weirdest part was that at least one time when I had this dream, when I woke up, I could still hear the man talking on the radio. So I ran into my mom and dad's room and told my mom to turn the radio off because I was scared. She woke up and told me that the radio wasn't on. And then I realized that it wasn't.

3. What's the scariest nightmare you've ever had? Ummm... see above... :)

4. Have you ever written your dreams down or considered it? Why or why not? I would write them down, but I'm usually still half asleep when I wake up. I have bad enough handwriting to begin with, and when I'm half asleep, I'm sure it would be worse! :)

5. Have you ever had a lucid dream? What did you do in it? I think I have lucid dreams every once in a while, but none of them really stick out in my mind.

And for the "End of the Work Week Wisdom" (you know it has to be from Sandman, if the Friday Five is about dreams...)
