Odd Dream  
So yeah, odd dream last night. NOT influenced by NPR because, well, it was before the radio turned on.

Right now vague wisps of the beginning are floating back to me. I remember leaving a building and looking out and it was pouring rain, so I pulled up the hood on my jacket because I had forgotten my umbrella. But once I was outside, it wasn't raining, and I wasn't wearing my jacket anymore. I was all dressed for summer, and it was on college campus or an urban college campus. I remember crossing the street in one direction. The 'walk' signs not only had the normal light up in white person crossing the street, but later, in green, a person walking a dog lit up, and then finally a person herding a cow (don't ask me what that meant!). So I cross the street the other way (four way intersection) and keep walking, and I realize that I'm in garb--Middle Eastern wear. I'm walking up this big hill with a bunch of other people who are also in line and in garb. I'm in this section of people who are in Middle Easter/Belly Bunny garb.

Apparently, there is a fashion show/contest that we're all in. I end up walking outside a railing, but then I need to slip under it because the hill's too steep and take the stairs, but I find out I can't, so I have to go back downhill just one section of rail to get to the place where I slip under. Finally the line winds around to an auditorium where we're being shown/judged. The person I've been talking to is like two-people ahead of me in line. She goes. Then all of a sudden, there's a confusion because some chippie put a friend's name in, but the friend isn't in any sort of acceptable garb (a choli and jeans), and there's discussion, and I have to go and pose and twirl. And when I get up there, there's a little section that's being rowdy that has to get kicked out. But that's okay because I took the time to adjust my scarves. Then there's the cameo of Dyan and Keyard--who were invited to sit in the recently-cleared section. That makes me feel less nervous though. :)

So I have to go up and turn and pose and all of that, and I realize I'm turning too fast, and I'm sucking at this. And I felt like my harem pants were slipping and I was going to flash the audience and this was going to be a bad thing. And it seemed like everything was going wrong. So finally, I finish and I'm humiliated and go to get my stuff and realize instead of removing one bothersome scarf, I've removed them all, so I really didn't have anything to keep my pants up (as the waist was too loose).

And I go out in the hall and slam the door behind me to keep me from hearing the results, but the door pops back open and I hear I lost 65 to 72. So then I go to a room with lots of tables, where there is feasting, and I find the table of Delftwoodians (Catherine is there and Oeric is at the end) and I'm feeling miserable, pointing out that I sucked completely, and I sit on the floor and I'm feeling terrible, and I notice there are some guys there whom I recognize from being in my brother's class in high school. They're just in mundane wear. But one of them winks and smiles at me, and it was hard to keep feeling miserable when there's an attractive guy you had a crush on flirting with you.

Then Oeric stands up and walks/crawls on the table to get to the end I'm at (because it's a long table and a crowded room). Of course, once he gets there, the table separates from the rest and it's just like a table for four or six. And the former crush is still flirting with me, which of course makes me feel happy.

Then Orpheus starts kneading the pillow and my head and I unfortunately wake up before anything interesting can happen. *sigh* Mental note: break out the dream dictionary.

Lizzie, I'm eventually going to get my writing page back up. I'm just swamped for time right now. I had to rebuild everything from scratch, which sucks. But I can build it better now! :) But there will be content coming soon, I promise!

Avenue Q  
My current most favorite person in the world (Oeric) got for me for my birthday, the musical Avenue Q. And with it came my new theme song:

What Do You Do With a B.A. in English
What do you do with a B.A. in English?
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college
And plenty of knowledge
Have earned me this useless degree.
I can't pay the bills yet
'Cause I have no skills yet.
The world is a big scary place...
But Somehow I can't shake
The feeling I might make
A difference to the Human Race.

And in addition to that, there are such lovely songs as "I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today" and "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" "The Internet Is For Porn" "I Wish I Could Go Back to College" "It Sucks To Be Me" "If You Were Gay" and other subversive catchy songs that are sung by puppets. It's like Sesame Street grew up. Humans, 'Monster' puppets, and human puppets share the stage, along with singing packing boxes and Bad Idea Bears that encourage people to have sex on the first date. Oh yeah, and there's a puppet named Lucy The Slut. BWA HA HA HA HA! I love it!
