Dreaming, Dreaming

It's 8:37, I woke up at 7:30, and I had *the* weirdest dream. Well, one of them. I'm prone to lots of weird dreams. People who've read my diary WAAAAAAAAAY back when know this... >_> I mean some of my dreams would make you a) question my sanity or b) ask what I was smoking, and the answer to both of those is *dirty glare!*

Anyway, so you be the judge of my sanity here: I'm *in* the Star Ocean 2 world. Hey wait, I haven't been playing THAT much, just a little last night. Besides, I only got as far as Lacour, prior to the Tournament of Arms, anyhow. I need to train. Okay, so it's Expel, and everything around me looks all pixellated and such... but it's 3D to me, anyway, because *I'm* in the game! That's right, I'm Rena. Guess who Claude is? Har Har. *banners and confetti fly out everywhere* Congrats Will! @_@

Anywho, the weird thing was, we were... I dunno, on our way to Cross? But I think we got lost or something, because the two of us were wandering through forests and near rivers. For some reason "Claude" had the pickpocketing skill, and he was using his sword to flush out enemies from the trees in the forest, hack them to bits, and steal their treasure. @_@ The enemies even disappeared like in SO2, just sort of expanding and then fading away. This was all well and good though, because we got some pretty cool items-- like, for instance (the irony) the "Dream Bracelet." -.-; It gets weirder.

So for some reason, we're walking on this pier or dock or something WAAAAAAAAY above a large body of water-- probably the ocean, and I get this sinking sensation that we're in or near Clik. For non-SO2 players, that translates to DANGER DANGER DANGER RENA LANFORD DANGER!! *cough* But there was no tsunami, no earthquake, no hot chick predicting the end of the world... *sigh* Now, whether we jumped or were pushed, I can't remember, but somehow we ended up in the water, and then the pickpocketing thing came back, and Claude was stealing from the fish...?!

I don't know, my overly active, too vivid imagination is probably filling in the blanks now. I'm all confused. @_@ I have ten minutes before I have to go to school (and Mom's not going to work again, oh joy) so no SO2 for me this morning... *sniffle* Oh well, 30 minute periods, nothing to do afterschool, AND I managed to get my contacts in in under 10 minutes! YATTA!

Oh, that quiz idea I had yesterday? "What tedious chore are you?" HAHAH! Ideas, anyone? I already have cleaning the toilet, washing the dishes, cleaning the fishtank... ehehe... should I add sweeping, mopping, and dusting? *giggles* This will be fun!

Oh, and believe it or not, I'm actually looking forward to WAFF day--er, Valentine's Day. The ML I'm on --SMRFF-- has a romantic, mushy fic contest of sorts, and I'm both entering and am in charge of it. Before you squeal in protest about THAT NOT BEING FAIR, I can't win anything, so nyah. =P But I have two fics I want to enter, a Co-fic with Siggy (ooh, it'll make you drool AND laugh!) and one I got inspired for yesterday in choir, most likely entitled (after Kirby Shaw's song) "What'll I Do?"

Tee hee. Mata~

Hi, my name is Mer, and I'm a Surveyholic

( addicted to you )

Okay, my mood's improved somewhat since filling this in... it's interesting, all these surveys, because each one, while containing the same basic information, always is styled differently and lets you learn something new about your friends. Plus, if you miss one, you can always catch up by reading a new one. People do change, after all.

Mm, yeah. I'm hungry.

WHEE! and GRRR!

( i got a survey from fin! yayness! )

Mm, tonight I came home later than usual, since I stayed at school working on the paper. Diesel was SO nice, after 7th, he went and got me a bagel and cream cheese after grabbing coffee with Ms. Kassler, my sophomore-year Bio teacher. She's nice. ^_^ I didn't have any lunch money for the past two days (having not gone to school Monday) and if it hadn't been for Cass lending me $1.25 yesterday, I woulda starved. But I already owe Diesel $2.00 from the Brown Bag Theater last week, and Mom apparently is SO sick that she isn't going to work, ergo, I can't have any cash. FOR ANYTHING. She better get better before Friday, I swear.

I know I probably come off as callous, but hear me out. Whenever I'm sick, my mom a) insists I'm well enough to go to school; b) when she doesn't, shoves medicine down my throat and hurries the whole "healing" process up-- but she'll never take me to the doctor; c) still bitches at me to do the chores. HER? I haven't seen her leave the house in over a week. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I wanted to have people OVER this weekend-- it's a THREE DAY WEEKEND, for Pete's sake! Plus, her friggin' smoking you-know-what every time she's feeling sick doesn't make *ME* a happy camper. I want out, I want out NOW. Haven't I said that enough? God, if there's one sole reason for me to HATE MYSELF for not applying and fixing my credits to get into SFSU, it's this. At least I could apply for a dorm or something.

I wish I could take care of her or something-- when she's been "minorly" sick before, she's let me bring her soup and tea, and her attitude's been nice. But now, her door's always locked, she barely registers me coming home, let alone me asking her how she's doing. I hate going to sleep, because I have to walk by her room, and it STINKS OF POT. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I HATE IT!

Damnit, and tomorrow's only Thursday, and I'll be staying late at school again. I just hope it doesn't rain. It was so windy this morning, I hated coming to school. I like rain when I'm *inside.* Not leaving someplace, not going somewhere. *sigh* But we can't ask for all that now, can we?

Mm, well, when I finally did come home, I played some Star Ocean, got as far as Opera in the Mountain Palace, then was zonked, but stayed awake for Enterprise and Angel. Angel's SO predictable, but it's getting better in terms of cliffhangers and general weirdness. The thing they're referring to as "the boss" of the Beast? It's got to be The First. It SHOULD be, anyway. If Buffy really is ending (and they can't call it Buffy if Sarah Michelle leaves) then they should at least make some vague attempt to tie all these apocalypses together... cameos and guest stars or not. But yayness, my fav bad girl slayer is back in three weeks-- FAITH! *dr00lage* OOOH yeah. I thought she was reappearing in Buffy (too?) but maybe I've just got my stakes crossed. (HAHA!)

Damn, I have to get writing all those WAFF day fics... I especially have to coordinate with Siggy to at least get the first part of our fic out by V-day. Mm, and that songfic I wanted to do... blech, but I have to do the dishes now. And I am somewhat zonked. @_@ Sleep. Yeah.
