[lilbird]

That Joss... what will he think of next!

[silvius]

I don't think it was Joss at all - obviously it was Ross, his evil twin......

[cabri]

What do you know about him, silvius?

[Paradiso]

Last night I had a dream that all the people who went to see Mud for her birthday were on the plane with me (no idea where we were going) but Mud didn't like how the pilot was flying the plane, so she was going to kick him in the shins and take over, and we were all trying to convince her it was a bad idea, except for Lily, who was trying to scratch her name and address onto Hunter's collar tags.

Leave it to Lily to take advantage of the confusion to steal her favorite dog.

The Lily part of that dream is hilarious.
--------------------------------------------------------

Had an odd one this morning that included several specific things from yesterday.

It started with me arriving at my brother's to care for the youngins as per usual (except there was a spare kid -- a baby plus the 4 and 2 year olds). After everyone left for work/school I decided to take the kids and walk to the gas station down the street which is something I have never ever done. The extra oddness of this is that it was much earlier in the morning (still dark) than it should have been and the gas station, though being the same one it is in real life, was in the middle of nothingness -- just like the one we stopped at last night after dinner.
While we were in the gas station I had to let the older munchkins (the ones that actually exist in real life) kind of run free because I couldn't hold on to them and the baby and still pick things up. At one point I recall there was an older white haired gentleman talking to The Boy like friendly strangers typically talk to little kids. I wandered around the place for quite a bit but I had no idea what I intended to buy. I eventually wound up by the freezer box containing the ice cream treats. And on the shelf next to it lay a package of Oreo Klondike bars (which is something I offered Diso in chat yesterday) that had one missing and were not in any kind of freezer. They didn't have any in the freezer either and I was so interested in getting them that I was willing to ignore the already being opened thing and checked to see if they were still frozen at all. Which they were mostly, but I wound up deciding against it and picked some other ice cream thing out of the freezer. Then I ate it completely before going to pay for it.
At the counter the cashier was a twerpy young twenty-something guy. I handed him the empty wrapper of the thing I'd eaten and it rang up as costing between 1 and 2 dollars. For some reason I tried to offer him just a dollar because that was all I had in cash and asked if he could somehow cover the rest of the cost because I just didn't want to pull out my debit card for something that cost so little. He refused in his sarcastic twerpy manner. While he was processing the transaction he started giving me guff for being a bad mom -- along the lines of being some kind of white trash strung-out neglectful mom. I didn't correct him about the fact that I was their babysitter and not their mother and replied with a terribly witty sarcastic comment along the lines of "Yeah, I drank beer this morning and gave the kids margaritas" (the very drink I was considering having at dinner last night).
We continued on like this, with a bunch of people waiting in line behind me I might add, with him making these little remarks which he thought were terribly witty and that I wouldn't get as he seemed to be underestimating my intelligence... because who wouldn't after that terribly clever margarita comment. Finally my transaction came to an end and he started handing me back several dollars in change which I found very odd considering the use of the debit card and I became somewhat suspicious of what the guy had done. I mentioned it to my oldest sister who was inexplicably in line behind me. Then I found a note in amongst my change which (also odd) he gave me in two separate piles. It was written on some floral paper (same as some price notes in the antique store we went to before dinner last night). When I first read it it said something that pretty much spelled out that the guy was a twerp (and it was from him), but the handwriting was hard to read so I looked at it closer. Upon closer reading it turned out to be some apology for his behavior and said that he liked my spunk. But then it ended with the words "Meet me in the back for some cocaine," which revealed the entire note to be entirely sarcastic.
Then I took the kids home... but riding on a motorcycle now. And I had to check to see if I'd remembered the baby by reaching behind me and feeling her head since the older kids were sitting on my lap (on the motorcycle!) and the baby was in a car seat behind me.
The kicker in all this is the fact that throughout the whole thing with the cashier I was really despising him but also finding him attractive. Even after reading the note I thought he was funny because, though the humor was a bit cruder and meaner than I really prefer, that's the sort of thing I'd laugh at.

[jaynelovesvera]

very interesting...and very well-written.

I have two recurring nightmares, though they're both so recurring the they barely even scare me anymore. The first is about earthquakes. Its really short. I'll be doing something, anything, whatever I was doing in my last dream, and suddenly the ground breaks up and there are fissures everywhere. Like you know those pictures of the desert where the groud is all broken up in these little hexagons? Like that, except they're really separated and I have to stand on one or I fall and die.

The second dream is when I'm doing something, again absolutely anything, and I have skis on. I don't know why. But they keep me from moving around properly and when I try to do stuff I stab people with them or cut them with the edges or just try to do something and break my leg or whatever. Its weird.

[cabri]

Heh, I like the sharp cutting edges on sports equipment. I had a dream long long long long ago where Nixon was strolling through what looked like resort grounds, swinging his tennis racket back and forth, cutting clueless people in half as he passed.

[wonderlandwiggins]

ok so it was about 5 years from now i think i know i was out of school and everything for a while i was extremely pregnant i cant remember everything that was happening but the world was pretty messed up like there was an earthquake or something and a lot of buildings were down and no one was really around except i felt like someone was following me. i went through some underground tunnels and came up in the country type setting and then i got grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground and my stomach started hurting like crazy and it felt like my leg was broken and then i passed out and was awake (in what seemed like a second in my dream) but i there was no more baby in my tummy... baby was gone i tried to get up and look for it and i could hear crying but i was bleeding from somewhere that i couldnt find and kept falling and then someone picked me up and i looked and it was my friend paul, who was my best friends for the majority of my life but we got torn apart by babies and fiances and mothers, and just as he was about to say something to me i woke up.

[Mudblood77]

That means you should probably call him Wiggy. *nods*

[wonderlandwiggins]

i should but i dont think i can

[Mudblood77]

how come?

[wonderlandwiggins]

his fiance hates me.. hes in new york he WAS in iraq i wouldnt of even have known but he sent me a letter telling me and another saying he was back because he was shot through the knee and has a fake knee now and something or other. but i dont have his new number and if his fiance who is probably his wife found out it would just cause crap and i dont want that for their baby

[Mudblood77]

Well, what about just a letter, wishing him well? No email, myspace, IM, return address? Something?

So I had a strange dream last night. I dreamt that I got an emergency phone call from Kim Basinger to come and watch her three young children.(Yes, I know she doesn't have three young children but in my dream she did.)

So anyways, I get there and her apartment is HUGE. She greets me at the door and was in a bit of a hurry to leave for an appointment but not in a rude way. She introduced me to the kids who were in the play room eating their breakfast. But, there weren't three kids there. There were five. Apparently, two kids were the Governor of New Jersey's kids who she was watching because their father was in the hospital.

So Kim leaves and the kids and I play all sorts of fun games. Hide and seek was my fav cuz their house was sooo HUGE!

Kim comes back and is visibly upset. I put the kids in the play room and set them up with an activity to occupy them so I could go talk to her to see if she is okay. She confesses that she is overwhelmed, tired, at the end of her rope, scared, sad, blah blah about everything going on with her ex and her oldest daughter. I don't say anything but give her a hug. I told her that I had to get going, but she wanted me to stay and help her out more with getting the kids to bed and making their lunches for the next day. So I stayed and after the kids went to bed we went into the kitchen and made some sandwichs for the kids and we chatted like old friends.

Then it ended.
