Dream scree sliding

6:36am ICT Wednesday 12 May 2010 (day 14658)

Met a man who told me about his job situation; he felt sad after having been laid off from his job and though he hesitated, finally cried and cried while hugging me telling him no worries mate, just cry. We had been staying in a building during a party in one area and I had been looking for a restroom that was available. I knew an area that was little used in the building; there was a long line in the busy area. A woman came up to me all asking basically if I wanted to hook up with her but I explained my mission, though couldn't really explain the WHY of my mission, but she went away anyway. I remembered after we were talking that Wende would come home soon so I wanted to turn off the lights that weren't being used and clean up the place a bit, but then it was 1:30 am and she hadn't come home.

Heard about the possibility of working at a company where I had previously worked, and we and a couple other guys went over at like 4:30pm and they were thinking they might rock in there and see the place, but I was pretty sure they wouldn't let us in without an appointment. I was right as when we arrived my friend was going "no problem!" a bit too loudly to the boss guy who was looking out a window on the second floor going, "um, we've got a business to run" and then to me, "yah there's work available tomorrow if you want," and I was like, "great!" and he said, "oh, I was talking to the other guy." so I said, "great!" and went to the hill to slide down.

The hill was sandy about 45 degree angle, but if we set our feet just right, we could slide down it, and had enough speed to keep sliding along the flat part at the bottom. A guy in front of me reached his hand back to give me a boost forward so I was like, "whoo!" and jumped over a hump in the sand. Then I reached back and gave a forward boost to a woman who was catching up to me sliding. She took a little tumble and I apologized, but she was like, "no that was all me" and we kept sliding. I started to announce the results of the race, like, "oh here he comes across the finish line ladies and gentlemen this is incredible!" and they were like, "no actually, the finish line is up there." and I started pushing myself forward with my hands ad announced, "he's cheating, but still got the lead," and they were like, "that's not cheating.." so I kept at it and actually won according to the painted line with writing next to it, "full body across the line 10 points" and then two circles on the ground that said "breasts 360 points", and I thought those should be past the line if that's the full body line, but didn't worry about it the girl arrived just a bit after me and I wanted to catch her and smooch her, but I didn't.

Third day

4:03pm ICT Wednesday 12 May 2010 (day 14658)

Today was thel day we learned the plow (difficult), and some other not so difficult things. I received a full hour massage from Air (teacher in training), and then was going to give massage to her for an hour, but got switched to Shara last minute. Fine with me; Shara is cute. I switched to reiki mode when she had some pain in her back (she has a misaligned vertebra) plus some pain in the middle.

after class swim

7:25pm ICT Wednesday 12 May 2010 (day 14658)

After class, Christine, Shara and I went to the Imm Eco pool for a chillaxin' swim. In several 'dives,' I walked along the bottom of the pool from the deep end to the shallow end. At the shallow end, five or six dive pedestals give divers a place from which they can dive. They also give me a place from which I can do back flips.

I did two back flips today from the pedestal. I did two yesterday, but the first one took about 10 minutes for me to get my nerve up. I basically was afraid of hitting my head on the concrete, or smacking my back on the water. I asked my angels for an answer, and I looked up and saw the screen between the something and something else. safety net. I looked up and saw a screen as part of the roof over a patio. Safety net. Hmmm safe. Saw another screen elsewhere. Then I remembered that if I were on a trampoline instead of a dive platform, I'd be able to back flip no worries. Anyway, I rememebered how to flip from gymnastics and did it. Arms up, arms down+bend legs, arms up+straighten legs, up, tuck, look, untuck, sploosh! yay!!!

After twice yesterday, I did it twice today, and then tried doing back flips at the deep end of the pool, which is at water level. I wasn't quite able to rotate all the way over, but I nearly got it. Tried again, and was a bit worse. I think with a bit of tweaking on my timing and launch, I could get a full standing back flip. I'm really not likely to try it on the ground, though, even on a mat, unless I have a competent spotter.

dinner

Walked with Christine to find the veggie place closed, but during our walk, found out she was also raised UU! Wow! No wonder we have such deep fun conversations. :-)
