Mind the gap.

14 March 2004

Oh well. Nin's still in bed, so I'm at least ahead of her.

So, Friday night was Nicole's and my combined mini-birthday party sleepover thing. She'd wanted to take us out to Olive Garden for dinner for a while, so I convinced my parents to give us a bit of cash, and Nicole supplied the rest, so off J, Kim, Nic and I went; Mettie was working so she couldn't, bleh. The food was very good... Nicole and I both got fettucine alfredo, yum. And breadsticks! We had to bring all of ours back in a doggie bag because they're so good. And I think Nicole left her last one here, so HAHAHAH to her. :-P

Yeah, then after dinner we went to my house and Mettie came over and we just kind of... did random crap on the computer / played bumper pool / ate cheesecake before sitting down to watch 'The Talented Mr. Ripley', heh heh, although Nic was asleep the entire time. Two pieces of cheesecake, and that was it for the entire night. But anyway, yeah, it was a strange but pretty good movie... no action though, gosh darn... and I liked the gay Jack Davenport. I really did.

So after Mettie left since she had to work the next day we watched the 'Cow Movie', better known as 'Someone Like You', then when it was over we went to sleep. Not terribly exciting, but whatever. We got up around 11 and Kim left shortly after that, but J and Nic stuck around playing cards and eating leftovers and crap like that... I would have won vs. Bryan, Dan and Ian at Hi-Low Jack since I had 10 pts for the longest time, but then Bryan suddenly won... heh.

So eventually Nicole suggested we tag along with her on a visit to her grandmother's house in Narragansett, so we did. It was a nice visit and she fed us a lot... hehe. On the way home we had an interesting occurance with this car with three guys in it; they were following us and they kept driving next to us so Nic would speed up and stuff, which continued until they had to get off at some random exit... it was highly amusing.

When I got home I FINISHED stencilling my room, which means my bureau can be moved in tomorrow as the carpet in that section has been ripped up, then I can clean stuff and maybe move back into it. Good-good.

Ah, bugger it, the mother is yelling that we should be ready now so I need to go get ready... damnit, I'll probably have forgotten the details of my two dreams by the time I get back. Suffice it to say that one involved Orlando and Elijah on a boat and the other was about being chased by a mad serial murderer at URI. BLEH.

Okay, back from the breakfast and church, so here we go...

So the first dream involved Ms. Stou and a dog that was about to give birth to maybe five puppies... I'm not sure what kind of dog it was, but the births in the dream were so realistic (and bloodily graphic, but I won't get into that) that it was quite odd. Stou went crazy over the pups and basically started treating them like children... she bought two of them 'Greek boats', which were basically blue and white boats with the flag of Greece on the side... she bought two others some non-Greek boats and I don't know what she got the last one. So then we all (Stou, my friends (?) and I) got on one of the boats, and it was quite large, almost yacht-like on the inside. There was a buffet table set up with lots of bottles of wine and wine glasses. Suddenly there were some LotR-boys there, which was quite odd as we were in the middle of the ocean. Orlando walked into the buffet-room and I said, "Orlando, will you get me some wine?" So he nodded and went over to the table to pour me a glass, but then Elijah came bounding (yes, literally, the boy was bouncing around!) in and said "Oh! Orlando, get me some wine too!" But poor Orlando got quite upset and started grumbling because Lij had tricked him into paying more money for the drinks.

...

Yeah, I'm still not quite sure about that one. It would have lasted longer, but at that point my idiotic dogs decided to run over to me and start barking so I'd pick them up, and I woke up...

The next dream was very frightening, although I've had many similar ones in the past... for some odd reason Justine and I were at URI, and we were travelling up to another level in an elevator. The door opened and we got out but were horrified to see the body of a woman on the floor right in front of us. I pulled out my cellphone to call 911 and then noticed a second dead woman nearby. I mis-dialed 911 as something lik 988 because I was so nervous, and then when I finally reached the operator my voice was shaking like mad. I gave her street directiosn (odd, yes, since we were inside a building) and said the bodies were at the corner of two streets. Once I had called, we got back in the elevator to leave the building. I remember thinking that I'd probably never be the same after having seen the two bodies... then we got out of the elevator and suddenly saw these two guys coming at us as well as more bodies of dead women. There was this African-American guy wearing 80's rapper clothes and a white guy in modern clothes. I screamed and started running away and finally got to the kitchens, since they were right there. The black guy ran off, but the white guy was set on killing us.

There was this IDIOTIC chef-woman in the kitchen as well as some college students, and J and I tried to escape the killer along with them. We couldn't leave the general kitchen area and had many close calls whilst trying to hide under random large pieces of furniture. The kitchen lady was making me SO MAD because every time I'd scream 'GET A KNIFE!' she'd go, "Oh, no, let's first try to blind him with this hot soup!' But the soup wasn't even hot so the guy didn't flinch when we threw it on him. At one point he picked me up and I thought that was it, but I managed to fight him off and run around screaming. At one point we passed this woman who was saying that a 'Lisa Dubois' (which is not Kim's mum's name, but it was meant to be her anyway) had called and tipped them off about the guy, but the idiot chef was saying that in the middle of us trying to escape with our lives...

Bleh. The dream was VERY frightening while I was having it, especially since the police never showed up. :-

Well, yep. I need to shower and get ready for my family party, which is in < 2 hours, so that's all for now.

Cheers.
