Keep pushing the limits.

Met a woman named Colleen, I thought at first, but she had a different pronunciation, so I was like, "how do you spell it?" She goes, "C - O - L - um, L - I - O - U - N," taking a while to think before spelling the Lion part, which I think she misspelled. I said, "cool. I have had a friend name Colin, and have a friend now named Colleen, but theis my first time to hear the name Co-lion."

I woke up from that dream and was too lazy to get up and write it down. I thought, "welp, there goes that dream; I'm not going to remember it." But then I was like "wait." and I used the reiki symbol for time and distance and requested that it's already been written. And now it has. Assuming I'm not dreaming now. Nope! (*)

In the middle of STAR WARS, we were trying to beat the bad guys and had stolen one of their ships, shaped like an おにぎり (triangle-shaped rice ball with fish inside, wrapped in のり (seaweed paper)) and equally hard to fly. In one scene, Han was inside the stolen ship, hurtling tumblingly trying to make it fly right. Then he and I went inside the good ship and I carried the おにぎり to some older pilots, all proud that we had caught an enemy ship. "does anyone know how to fly this ship?" And one guy was like, "No, but I know who does," and at the same moment (otherwise unrelated) I inadvertantly moved backwards over the corner of a counter and something touched my balls. My eyes widened for a moment and I immediately leaned forward again. He goes, "what's it like?" and I showed him the triangular ship shape. "It can go anyway you like, and doesn't care about things such as human spines. I think it can only be flown properly by a robot." I looked at his TV as the game Wheel of Fortune was being played outside around a swimming pool. The weather was stormy and there were big waves in the pool and dark sky overhead. I was on a bus and changing clothes with two guys and about 50 girls and we were trying to figure the best way to do this without showing anyone any inappropriate parts. I pulled off my underwear, but left my skirt on and pulled on my swim trunks under the skirt, noticing a little stain at the butt, and then wondered at the stockings attached to the bottom of the swim trunks. I didn't remember having seen them before, though I guessed they might protect against sand and fish bites.

For some reason, Facebook doesn't keep the entire history of the chat in the chat window:

and then do my part and then chill and let god do the rest

1:22amRob

beautiful

1:22amBryn

it keeps me from getting stressed basically, ever

1:22amRob

or let god not do the rest, as appropriate

awesome

1:22amBryn

yea, and it makes this whole moving to austin thing work out

cause i came here with just a little money and no job

1:23amRob

that's a lovely teaching point; thank you.

heehee!

1:23amBryn

but i found an apartment and through random meeting people, i keep getting cool temp jobs where i meet people who ofer me other jobs

1:23amRob

nice

1:23amBryn

and i've made enough money to pay my rent for a month whichis all i really need and i still have my savings

1:23amRob

perfect!

And several UUs are there, including my mom and bro

1:24amBryn

and i dance every night and i don't have a car and people just offer me rides and it makes me smile

1:24amRob

sounds like you're doing wonderfully.

:-)

what kind of dancing?

1:25amBryn

Yea, i've been spending a lot of tim with meg cusack, who i was very close with when we were VERY youn and then not so close with during YRUU

SWING dancing!

1:25amRob

SWING! But of course!

1:25amBryn

1:25amRob

close when you were young, how?

not so local, eh? SWUUSI?

1:26amBryn

yea, we'd spend every swuusi together and write leters to each other in between

1:26amRob

So did her adventure in NZ affect Sean's decision to go?

nice

1:26amBryn

nope, he didn't even know she'd been there unti last night!

1:26amRob

That's amazing!

1:27amBryn

weird small world we live in

1:27amRob

yep

1:27amBryn

so now that you have all this flexibilitywhat do you want to do?

1:28amRob

I appreciate your question, because I haven't really thought about much..

The week long course is the first thing

and enough money left over means I can take some intensive Japanese lessons

See if modeling can supplement my income enough to become more fluent

1:30amBryn

that would be super cool

1:30amRob

BUT, the part of me who doesn't want to live in Japan forever is like, "WHY???" "Why not go to China or Dubai or Egypt or Brazil?"

1:30amBryn

that is a good question....

1:30amRob

or OZ or NZ etc

yes

however

on a different level, I don't necessarily need to escape Japan to do what I want to do:

use reiki and massage to do one-to-one healing

I am good a counseling as well,.. in English

1:32amBryn

1:32amRob

:-)

1:32amBryn

well, see if modeling is lucrative, that could beyour start up cash to start a business

1:33amRob

yes

I'm aware I have an aversion to "starting a business"

There are several emotions tied to that idea in my head, which are not necessarily based on reality

1:34amBryn

me too!

1:34amRob

whew! I'm not alone!

What would your optimal business be?

1:34amBryn

no way, starting a business is NOT on my to do list

i don't know, i recently applied to be a study abroad advisor at UT and realized i would probably be the best study abroad advisor and the happiest one ever

1:35amRob

sounds pretty promising

does that mean like helping people get sorted so they can study abroad?

1:36amBryn

i didn't get a follow up interview :)

yea, telling them about the pros and cons, helping with readjustment, explaining cultural norms etc

but if i were to starta business, it'd be something like that

1:38amRob

your smile will get you into the work you want to do

1:38amBryn

insh'allah!

1:38amRob

I still need to smile more

1:38amBryn

1:38amRob

heeehee!

How old are you?

1984, right?

1:38amBryn

eek!

HI Brynsies!

I got a bit sidetracked before writing, but during our chat, I was just going to relay a story from
my oldest school SWUUSI days...

I was perhaps 10 years old, in a canoe with my dad, and we somehow met up with our church friend who
had a small motor on the back of his boat.  We connected our boats so our friend pulled dad's and my
canoe... slowly, but way faster than we could have paddled!

Totally new fun experience for me, so I was beaming smiling thrilled, of course!

After the ride, my dad said that his friend had said I was "grinning from ear to ear."

And for some reason, that really embarrassed me; I've never been able to explain why.  Something
about being seen or recklessly enjoying life.. I dunno.  But that has affected my ability to smile
in a way.

Insha'allah, at the meditation course, I'll resolve the underlying issue there and beam lighthouse
bright Bryn quality smiles around the universe!  :-)

Thanks for being my Bryn!  You're the best ever.

  Love Love
   - Rob!
