I just woke up. I had a dream that I was in Milan, where I'm from. In the dream there was a funeral procession made up of just about everyone I've ever gone to High School with. I was trying to find out who had died. And the processions was all made up of people in black, walking - not of cars. Janice & Mom wouldn't tell me who died. I shouted out "Who?" - and eventually someone came and asked me what the big deal was and I tried to find out what time school was open until to see if I could go there and find out... Then I drove to the Jackson's house (neighbors & friends of the family - not the singers) and they were hosting a wake of sorts - all sorts of strange people were there. Someone eventually told me that Robbie Williams had died; not the singer - but one of 2 classmates I had with that name; then I had to find out which one it was, as I had known both of them. It was so exasperating, and I saw so many people I knew going through this elaborate mourning process, together, and I felt cheated out of it, if that makes sense... And I eventually found out that it was not the Robert who was a twin who was our neighbor, but a kid from school who sat next to me in one of my classes, who used to laugh at my jokes. And actually this boy never went to my school, he works with me at Hollywood Video and his last name isn't Williams. Anyways... these people that finally told me seemed to be implying that he killed himself and that it was for the best because his death would have been very painful otherwise.

Now - I missed a lot of school in real life, and what people I did sort of like I drifted away from because I was never there, and then I eventually dropped out of day school all together, because I could graduate faster going to night school & summer school. I still feel a bit weird about that sometimes; how the people I knew most of my school years are not considered my class anymore; as there are no invites to Class Reunions or the like - not that I would go, but I kind of feel weird about it anyways - and I've never given that a lot of thought until I woke up.

See as the dream continued this girl showed up, who probably wasn't in my class either but she was looking for someone that got left behind with other friends (the place was almost deserted at this point, as everyone had moved on to somewhere else) I was crying. And I asked her why she was looking for this other person, and she said it was because they were taking him back to be part of the family. I asked if I was even part of the family now, and she said that of course I was and she would take me with them, and I was so relieved and grateful, and happy, and I cried as she took my hand. We went to the house of this woman, who I also knew to get the friend - Mark was there, and I introduced him to the girl, and the woman, who had a dog that loved me. And I woke up.

The funeral procession wasn't just people (though there were tons of people that actually did go to my high school there, all dressed in black) - later there was a processions of strange vehicles draped in rich fabrics of white, gold, purple, & green - and peole in outlandish, but somehow respectful costumes. And everyone looked really hot. lol It was a very vivid dream.

I woke up earlier at around 9:30am from a dream in which I was driving Shawn & Jonathan around in my car, in the winter time, and I couldn't stop at a stop sign, which didn't hurt any of us, but I still felt bad about it anyways, until we realized that no one was able to stop there because of all the ice & snow. lol As I continued to drive them I explained that our car was supposed to be awesome in the winter, and I turned on the heated seats & wiper blades. For some reason I was in the passenger seat and Shawn was at the wheel, though I was definitely driving the car; and Jon was in back leaned forward so he was practically up there with us - which was fun.

So I just put some garlic bread in the oven, and I have about an hour before Mark gets here so we can both go to work. I don't need to shave because I shaved with a razor less than 24 hours ago. If I had shaved with an electric razor I would need to shave NOW. lol I'll take a shower after I eat, and then I'll be mostly ready to go.

So I had a fun, if not too exciting visit with Shawn & Jonathan yesterday evening. I didn't get there until 4pm, but I didn't leave there until about 12:30am; there was laughter and games, and wacky Shawn stuff. And there was conversation with Amber who is CLEARLY wrong about SNAPE. And I do really enjoy Jonathan's company. I hope he and Shawn stay together for a very, very long time. Or that if they don't, which I can't really imagine at this point, that I can somehow remain friends with both of them.

My food is done. ;-0)
