Recent Dreams

I usually don't have very interesting dreams. At least, for a long time I didn't. They really were boring through almost all of high school, but they've been getting more interesting in college.

This one happened Monday morning, I suppose. I was sitting outside my house back home with Gina, and it was something like night, but not quite. The moon was out and very clear, but it wasn't dark. I went inside for a second to get something, but I could hear something, and I could tell it was something huge/astronomically inclined. I think I could actually tell that it hit the moon when I was inside, whatever it was, and I think I was looking through my kitchen sink when I saw the comet/etc hit the moon. It turned red, and I suppose it started on a path towards Earth. I went back outside and Gina told me that it hit the moon, and I told her I knew, I saw it. I kept looking, and it was definitely coming toward us, and I was scared in my dream. I knew it was a dream sometime around then, though, and I started thinking, "Could this happen in real life?"

The next day I had a horror dream, but it wasn't really a nightmare. I was in a house, but not mine, it was a lot older and a lot more cramped. I forget who else was with me, or if I was even in the dream, but there were other people. It was dark, I think it was night, and whoever was in the dream was going through dark places. Whenever it was completely dark, some sort of monster would come out, but it could only exist when it was dark, so you could never see it. Except somehow I knew what it looked like.... it was definitely a girl who just looked all rotten and whatnot, like a really good Halloween costume. Oh, and it tried to kill everyone in the dream. But I don't think it did kill anyone. Did this happen in a movie?

I had another dream on Wednesday, I think, that Gina's dad made a joke that I didn't like. I can't remember what it was, but it was probably one of the things they think I'm crazy for thinking, like how avoiding bottled water is probably a pretty good idea, in general. I have been too busy to dream since then, though.

However, I finished my super hard assignment, rocked a test, and am hopefully about to rock another. Then hopefully I will write a song I have some ideas for this weekend.

Peace out.

Politics and Canning

This weekend I went canning with Springfield Thon, and hosted at my house. It was supposed to be like 15 people, including one or two guys, but ended up being just myself and eight girls (who were all really cool).

One of the girls was Katie, who I had seen around Simmons a million times before and always sort of remembered for some reason, but it wasn't until this weekend I discovered we had gone to PGSS together. I was canning with her at the intersection of Route 1 and the exit from the Shops at Concordville or whatever - the new huge shopping center with Target and Home Depot. The day was going slow but I wanted to make some money for the kids, so I took on a screw-it attitude and just went for anyone and anything.

A young, white, blond-haired girl drove up probably sometime around 10:30 in a small green car, and I noticed (since she pulled up beyond me) that there was a McCain/Palin sticker on the back window. I figured since she was young, she would be okay with me joking around with her a little bit (in case I totally blew a joke). So I went up - I forget if her window was up or down - and said loud enough for her to hear, "Help kids fight cancer?! Your candidate doesn't support universal health care, so these kids are gonna need to get money from somewhere."

I can't remember exactly what her reaction was, I think she was a little surprised that I would actually say that, but it wasn't a look of "You're such a punk." I think she got that I was being playful, and I know that by the time she said something back to me, the window was down. She said that she only had change, and I said, "Change is perfectly fine, even if all you want to give is a penny, that's great." So she gave me all the pennies that she had, and I was about to walk away, but then she offered a few more coins from the console between the front seats. I told her it was okay, and I didn't meant to guilt her that much, I had just been playing, but she insisted, so she put them in the can. So I told her - like I told everyone that donated - thank you, and that it means the world to these kids, and to have a nice day.

Peace out.
