Putting all the words together

First order of business... The new Yellowcard record When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes is finally out! And of course it deserved some lyric-age as my title. This is probably the first album that has come out in the past 2 years that I instantly loved right when I heard it. I take that as a good sign!

Now on to the fun stuff... if you consider decapitating fun. Yep, that's what my dream was about last night. I decapitated a young lady with a halberd. She had a spear though, and it was either I died or she did. Here's a short recap on what I actually remember. The setting is a hotel room (huh?). So there are two women, one with the spear, the other unarmed I think. One of us has to die for some reason, and seeing as they are both trying to kill me, I'm fairly sure I'm their first choice. Then suddenly, the unarmed woman just get's up and leaves. I take this as an opportune time to strike, so I use my halberd (a spear with an axe-head at the end instead of a knife or spearhead) to drag her weapon out of her hands. So she lays there on the floor, and I raise my halberd and ask "Are you ready?" and she just looks at me. Then I bring the weapon down in a swift arc, and her head rolls away.

What? Really? Out of all the weird dreams I've had, this has to be the worst. I decapitated a woman... what kind of monster am I? I woke up feeling like a total jerk too. I think I'm going to look this up in one of those dream dictionary things. Not that I think they have any truth to them whatsoever, but it's interesting, right?

P.S. I really need to work on posting on this thing more often. 18 days in between posts, really?

The Perfect Dorm

I think I've mentioned before that I love having those random dreams that I can remember really vividly, because then I can step back and take a look at them, just for the joy of it.

Well last night I had one of those dreams, and because of it, I've dreamt up my fantasy dorm. In fact, all I remember about the dream was walking into a building, realizing that it was the dorm I was going to be staying in, and exploring every nook and cranny in shear delight.

Ok, so the dorm was like this:

It was composed entirely of long, wide hallways with doors leading into dorm rooms halfway down the length of each hallway, but only on the right side. There were also stairs lining the walls. So imagine, you walk in the door, and at ground level, there's a dorm to the right, with a lounge area to the left, with tables, chairs, and couches. Then at the end of the hall is a staircase, turning twice. After the first turn and before the second, there are two more dorms. After the second turn of the stairs, a long staircase goes along the wall to the next level, and then rinse and repeat.

Ok so maybe I didn't describe the layout all that well, but this is for me to remember anyway, so what do you care? Now to the coolest parts.

The dorm rooms were like the mirrors; long, thin rooms that could house 3 or 4 people, and despite how long the rooms were, they didn't have very many windows, and those that were present were covered by light green curtains. And that brings me to my next point. The school must have been Hogwarts or something, because the dorm had it's own color, as if it was a house common room. The place was covered in light green curtains, tabards, cloths, trimmings, and hangings everywhere you looked, with many of these items having dark green shamrocks on them. These complimented the dark brown hardwood and dim lights very nicely.

Now that I think back on it, this dorm was completely strange, but I personally would have seen it as the coolest thing ever. I have to find that college.

So everybody put your best suit or dress on. Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once.

I had one of the strangest dreams last night, but it wasn't strange in the sense that what happened would have been totally impossible, it was strange because of how real the scenario was. There was one thing in the dream that had never really crossed my mind before, but now that I think back on it, under normal circumstances it would have. It was just the time and place. Anyway, I think when I woke up, I actually said "wait, what?" out loud, so there you go. But I like having dreams like that, because, to be honest, I love contemplating about them during the day and where in the deep trenches of my brain that possibly came from!

So hip hip hoorah for weird confusion!

I've come to the realization that trying to write any sort of creative piece has got to be the hardest thing I've ever done. And usually when I have an idea, I instantly start to write stuff down about it, but I decided that on this most recent idea, I would let it sit and mull for a while. It's been about three weeks, or more, since I originally came up with the idea, and I'm starting to really have an idea form. I've been reading a book Stephanie got me dealing with writing fiction, so hopefully it will help somewhat. Anyway, I'll keep you posted!

I think that's all for today. Let's see if anything interesting happens tomorrow, okay?

This one's 'bout a dream I had last night.

I woke up today in a very joyous mood. I had the strangest dream last night that involved San Diego, a huge storm, and a girl named Clara, and when I woke up I was actually happy. I found this strange, coupled with the fact that I remembered the dream so clearly, so I decided to write it all down before I forgot it, so I could go back and look at the different parts of it. It ended up being two pages typed after I had summarized it, and I put it away in a safe place so that I could read it again when I had time.

I also received a very wise piece of advice from a friend this morning. I think letting go of my friends has been the biggest problem for me, but that advice I got from her has kinda helped me to step back and say, "You're right. I have been foolish about the whole situation and I need to let go." I just wanted to thank you for that advice, because I totally agree with you, and I took everything you said to heart.

Today has turned out to be really nice so far. I think today is going to be a good day. :)
