exciting updates from my life

[godream]

1.) I'm remembering my dreams lately, which is sorta unusual for me. Not a bad thing by any means: I like being able to recall the bizarre stuff going on in my head. But it's a new thing. No details, mostly, just moments and characters. And of course, my very favorite dream-consequence: waking up and distinctly remembering having been told something by someone, and wanting to respond belatedly to it, and then on further consideration not being sure whether it actually happened. This I get even when I'm not remembering dreams much, and it does add that extra awesome surreal touch to life.

2.) I'm careening all over the emotional roadmap, which is exciting but non-fun, and may or may not be connected to and/or causing 1.

3.) I'm rapidly developing a list of summer do and don't-dos, practically resolutions, which will probably last about as long as the new year's ones do (bah). Summer, three months, what a weird span of time -- they say habits take a month to set, and boy do I have a pile to build and break -- September looks years away and moments. The hall's already quiet and only going to get quieter. :/ (but clearly this just means we need to get out more often.)

4.) Probably much more interesting to most people than me talking about the state of my mind: for those of you who I haven't already mentioned this to, a friend and I went and saw Hurra Torpedo in concert. It was pretty spectacular. If you haven't already watched their Total Eclipse of the Heart video, you really need to.

1 is definitely awesome. I love having distinct memories of things that, upon further inspection, are clearly false. Though I was terribly disappointed when I remembered that I couldn't fly... fortunately, I didn't figure that out the hard way.

They do tend to be painfully mundane in my case, unfortunately. Like I woke up convinced that I should thank one of the gentlemen on the floor for fixing a hall-used computer-related thing, and later in the day was going to go down and say something except after a quick check I realized I'd dreamed it. :P Better than no memorable dreams, but I want flying dreams! :D

you know what's really strange...I'm going through the same things (1 & 2 that is)...excpet that I called it the emotional roller coaster from hell, and the dreams for me are not gennerally good ones...but there are details! oh and hey, i got laid in one of them, so not all of them have been bad ;) <3 talk to you soon!

Good luck!

Dude, see, I don't get the getting-laid dreams. No, I get the mundane dreams where afterwards I wake up and I think "gee, I better go thank Fish and Vimal for fixing windows filesharing on my-pants" and then halfway through the morning when I'm about to wander down to Goodale I think to double-check and realize that clearly that was all in my head. Yes, this actually happened (though not this week).

Some parts of my emotional roller coaster only suck a little bit (other parts I totally sympathise with the "from hell"), but I have the distinct feeling that I'm not reacting to things in the way that I usually do (also that I'm being more of an asshole than normal) and that's weirding me out. I'd put it down to PMS, but I thought it was the wrong week for that.

p.s. i think i've asked you this already, but are you going to camp out in a random room when you're here or shall i clear ijenn's futon for you?

i donno. that's too far in the future! I'm workin on a way to get to see fish tomorrow if alison's parents say no to the car...i told him i'd be down there...they can't stop me, just make it harder...and more expensive. :(

yeah, that was just one dream...people died in others...it was not good.

as for the asshole thing...well, i know i'm being more of an asshole than normal. i'm bringing a handfull of people on this ride and i dont think they realize they're on it...well, more than half didn't realize it. is it really bad that the biggest reason i want to go visit fish so badly is because I think that picking on him will help me feel better?

oh well...i've got a contengency...i should sleep now...talk to you later!

*grin* you may be stuck camping then, i sorta still haven't unpacked and my entire room including said futon is draped in dirty laundry and maps of lausanne as well as all the usual crap. it is a dump even by my standards.

yikes, death dreams. that sucks. :(

i think my brain/mouth filter is just sorta malfunctioning -- i blame the crazy emotional whatever. another reason why every time someone mentions another kind of alcohol they think i might like i have to think (and occasionally point out): i'm pretty sure me drunk would not make anyone happy. :P i think there is a difference between accidentally inconsiderate and unthinkingly mean, and i'm feeling more on the latter side. mmm guilt.

no, it's not that bad. that's what friends are for, picking on. jackie misses having a target too, i think -- i told her she could pick on me any time she pleased but she said it's not the same. apparently i don't make entertaining noises, among other things. but i get what she means.

have fun! good luck getting out there! call fish a corporate whore for me!
