Dream A Little Dream Of She

Telethon – Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton

In the midst of my conflict with Annia, I’ve been having a lot of dreams about girls in my life that I’ve been interested in at one point or another. These dreams all have the same setting: I’m in a strange land somewhere, a town with no name, and everyone I’ve ever known is there. Usually a few people I don’t know too. I think Iron Man showed up in one of my dreams. That was weird.

The first dream involved Natasha. I spent most of the dream looking for her, like I had to tell her something urgent. When I found her, she told me that she was seeing this guy and for some reason I couldn’t stand him and I became upset. I storm off angrily and the dream ends.

The second dream was about Tanya, The Ice Queen. In reality, she’s been in Chicago for the last four or five months so I haven’t seen her in a while. I must miss her. This dream fell along the lines of again having something important to say, but I couldn’t open my mouth to speak. When I finally could, all that came out was trivial conversation. I have always struggled to connect with her on some meaningful level, so this was actually quite true to life.

The last dream was about, of all people, Mary Choy. I cannot even remember what that one was about. I do recall us talking and having far more chemistry than we ever actually did when we were in high school together. She seemed happy.

The first dream shook me up a little and I ended up telling Natasha about it, in the fear that my subconscious was telling me something about our friendship that I couldn’t see. She assured me that we were fine and suggested that these dreams were a manifestation of my anxieties about Annia. That seems too obvious and I’m convinced that these dreams reflect the problems that I have dealing with the opposite sex in general. Then again, it’s probably both.

Here is the trailer for the new Wes Anderson film, The Darjeeling Limited. Much like the indie music we listen to, it has gotten to the point where the product has become so familiar that it almost seems as if the artist is parodying himself. That said, this looks awesome.

Something very disturbing happened to me last night Jemaine.
What?
Well, you know Lisa.
Mm.
Well, it turns out she’s very aggressive.
Did she hit you?
No. She wanted to go all the way.
Oh. I thought you already did go all the way.
No. Now she wants to have sex.
What gave you that impression?
She jumped on top of me and then touched me on the penis.
