azurite | Dreamstyles of the bizarre

I don't get it. I had the freakiest dream last night/this morning, and I can honestly say I don't get it.

I was at my old high school (Washington) and it looked/felt like it always does-- gray, foggy, cold. And I was walking from my homeroom at the corner of the campus, but I was the only one out there. I had reached the esplanade (the center of the upper courts, and the part nearest the auditorium and the various entrances to the school) when all of a sudden, it started raining.

I looked up from where I was and started grumbling obscenities as I walked up the stairs to get inside-- but I didn't go into the Wing door, I kept going for the main Lobby door. And, even weirder, I was wearing my blue fuzzy slippers... with soap in them. There was a bar of (it had to be) Dove soap in my slippers, and because it was raining, my feet were all slippery and covered in bubbles.

So I finally get inside and I get to my locker around the corner from the lobby, and there's this short, Asian guy already rummaging through his locker. I didn't think anything of him, even though he didn't particularly look like anyone I knew, or was even in my homeroom. But then he goes and pulls out these HUGE DVD box sets-- one had to be like, seven movies long, but the other was only one DVD, in a cardboard slip case (kinda like Pirates of the Caribbean, I guess). But that movie was odd for some reason, because it was really TWO movies, and you couldn't pick which one you wanted to see, it was just that both were on the disc, and one started a few minutes after the other ended. So like it had the movie titles on the binding of the box, and the times that both of them started/ended, too.

And as I was leaning closer to inspect the boxes... my alarm rang, and I woke up.

What does any of that mean? Moreover, why the heck does it seem that I always get the most fitful, dream-filled sleep whenever I go to bed with a) little on my mind; b) few hours of sleep to go; or c) nothing particularly interesting having happened that day (that appears in the dreams)?

O_O WEIRD.

My mom's a self-admitted nag, now. She yelled at me this morning, saying something about chores, but given that I was sleeping like the dead, all I heard was "Wah-wah-wah-wah! Wah-wah!" So I called her and asked, and again, she's being a picky biznatch and wants me to do a dinky load of dishes, the counters, etc. Normally this wouldn't bother me, since I don't need to shower and such, but I am DEAD tired, and I'm so afraid I'll break something.

There's still nothing to eat. I'm having cocoa, and I have the cash to grab a bagel at 8 Flavors, but no patience or extra time to spare (though the running theory is that I could, given that I show up at work a half hour before we even open). I know I should be leaving early to go to the post office, but that totally slipped my mind until now, and I only have a half hour to do my chores, get dressed, and go as if I normally would. Eh, maybe with some dumb luck they'll let me home early-- before 6? I don't want to keep those potential customers waiting, you know. ^_^

I get paid today, which is yay-worthy. But I have to remember:
$100 - Mom
$50 - Admissions fee for Rutgers
$26(?) - SAT/AP scores sent to Rutgers

With the wage increase AND the overtime, pay should be SOMEWHAT decent... I hope. I still wanna score an iPod or some mp3 player with at least 5GB of space on it. Purple would be nice too, but hey, we can't always get what we want...

*sigh* I. Am. So. Zonked.
