(dream)

Went to a nice restaurant with Wende, and then to the restroom to wash my hands, and Robin and Chris from my I-group were there each taking a piss. I was at the sink and could hear their voices, and then when they came out I was like, "HI" and told them I'd be out in a second.

Robin came back in and said he had to go somewhere real quick, and then I was out in the restaurant and one of the waitresses asked me if I worked there. I was all, "no" and she was all, "darn," because there weren't enough cute guys on the waitstaff near her age. Hmmm; very interesting.

At a school, a college campus, and attended a religious meeting of some sort, and I chose to go to the freshman area, even though I was a junior, for this was my first year in the school to attend this meeting. The students in different sections were sitting in perfect rectangular shapes, instead of in circles. There had been no indication of how to arrange ourselves; it just seemed to happen that way.

The girl to my left was a veteran of thsis group; she was sitting patiently, and looked like Jack's friend Natalie. The girl to my right was a first timer like myself, and she looked like maybe Mimi from Youth Council and Steering Committee some years ago.

The church leader guy came out and told us what pages to read of their holy book, and we were expected to repeat four times what he said. Most of the group cooperated, but a few people (like me) wouldn't say anything, and a few (like Mimi) complained they wouldn't do it at all for they were being treated like children. Natalie was all, "give it a chance" or something.

The guy in the center threw a piece of ice at Mimi, but missed her by a mile (several feet). He said something like, "oh I can't throw very well" but then proceeded to throw a piece of ice at the ice machine and exactly hit its power button and turn it on. Then he threw another piece and exactly turned it off. The piece used to turn the machine off bounced toward me, so I picked it up and took a bite of ice.

Natalie and I were both sitting, leaning back on our hands and our fingers touched. We flirted a bit, but then I was all, "I can't right now," and disengaged my hand from hers. She said something about her innocence that was more like saying how she was flirting without breaking any rules. Hmm. So I let her hand touch mine again.

The leader guy came back into the circle, but this time in a huge cadillac twice as wide and twice as long as a normal car, but still normal height, and it was a hardtop convertible with the top off. Many people were in the car and everyone started getting out and I flew away from the crowd because I felt threatened by something. I was flying at super high speed through trees like in Star Wars in Empire or Jedi (I forget) on the planet Endor.

The bad guys were unable to chase me so quickly through the trees, and I was just flying so fast, often times twirling and not looking where I was going, but still going crazy fast without hitting anything.

I was able to fly low near the ground and up a slight incline (unusual for me), and able to fly way way high within the branches of trees. Huge pine trees and redwoods.

I found in a deep canyon in the forest, some sort of fort the bad guys had built, and I had a sheet of paper in my pocket that depicted a map of the fort area, and I had to rotate it a few times to get it to line up correctly, but mostly I just realized I was having a dream and that I would make it line up corectly, even if the origianl map didn't have to do with this fort below me.

I looked for a weakness and figured out that I needed to knock down a log on one corner of the fort and that would set off a chain reaction to destroy it, but I knew I possibly wouldn't be able to get fly back up again after flying that far down (sometimes I have trouble flying up in my dreams if I'm stopped, especially if I'm down low) so I flew back out of the forest where bad guys and good guys were fighting in cars on the road and I found a friend and tried to figure out a way to get her the note without me stopping flying, and without chance of the bad guys getting it.

Then the phone rang and I woke up.

Dvorak

I've been doing better with Dvorak keyboard layout. My technique has not been to go cold turkey (whatever the hell that means) but to allow myself to switch back anytime I get too frustrated. Then I switch back to Dvorak when I feel like I have plenty of time, like now.

chez

9:19am CDT Wednesday 28 August 2002

Jack and I were chillin' in the front room and someone walked up to the door. I was all, "come in!" before they even knocked. Then I realized it was Chez! "Is that Chez??!" Wow! Chez is missing her Behavioral Modification class at DCC right now; haha that's pretty ironic I think. Jack told us about the semester he didn't buy any books for his college classes, and I told them about the song "Free Guitar Lessons For Animals" by Flossie and the Unicorns. It fit into the conversation, really.
