Okay, it's been about 10 minutes since I woke up from one of the weirdest dreams I've ever had.
It went something like this: I'm in a desert-- just somewhere very hot and expansive, so I don't think it's a jungle or anything. I got the impression I was in Egypt, but that could just be a flight of fancy; it could be anywhere in the Middle East or the Sahara. And I was older-- maybe 23 or so. And I was there for a reason-- I was looking for something. Or someone.
I remember being blinded by the sun for a moment, and taking my hat off to wipe the sweat off my brow. And then there was someone in front of me. It was only a little while later, and the said person had invited me into his hut (yes, it was a guy) and asked me what I was doing out in the middle of nowhere. I said "You." I was there looking for him! So maybe this part is a little bit trippy, I was reading that odd reincarnation Inuyasha fic last night... but I dunno, a lot of this doesn't add up.
So the guy tells me he's out in the middle of nowhere because he was exiled or placed there by his father or somesuch; his father's a king in Rome? Something like that. He also told me something about how he'd learned a lot of martial arts styles from all these countries around the world (I remember thinking 'That's like every country in the world!' when he listed where he'd learned what from). Maybe I'd had others accompanying me and he'd dusted them before we had a chance to explain ourselves? In any case, he explained he was sore, and would I mind giving him a massage? o_O For some reason, this didn't strike me as an odd request in the slightest, and I complied-- he seemed to like it, A LOT-- which made me somewhat uncomfortable. I asked him to stop (groaning!) and he did, and we were about to start talking when my phone rang, and I woke up!
@_@ VERY WEIRD. For a minute I thought my brain was conjuring up another HYD fic (that's sort of what I got from it) but there's no way that makes ANY sense at all.
Anyway, one of the first things I thought of post-phone, post-dream was that I had done that MemeGen thing that said in my past life I was a fortuneteller that died at 21. It struck me as odd, given that it's entirely POSSIBLE (despite being a dorky MemeGen, I know) and even somehow familiar. @_@ Geh, maybe my sixth sense is just haywire after getting back from LA. Who knows?
On the phone-- Larisa, from Wash. She's in charge of the Anime and Manga club now, and I hope she does a better job with it than I did... I still feel pretty lousy about that. She wants me to bring her the old Anime and Manga club binder with the flyers in it... 19th/Irving at Starbucks. Joy. (Starbucks, I mean. ^^;)
HOLY CRAP! Photoshop 8 is shipping in OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's apparently part of this new suite of programs Adobe is tinkering with... they have a lot of odd code names! In any case, the standard edition with 3 basic programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) look to be going for about $1000, while a premium package (for a few hundred more) includes a few other programs and an extra font family. Apparently, since the upgrades are packaged together in this 'Creative Suite,' the new nickname for the programs will be similar to Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX (though I have no idea what the heck MX is supposed to stand for). So it will be Photoshop CS rather than Photoshop 8. Joy.
*yawn* I better start getting ready, even though I have like, an hour and a half before I need to leave. Too bad I couldn't have arranged a hair appointment today with Lida, since she's on Taraval and 19th. But it's Labor Day and all... >_> Guh, I just don't want to be bored today, but I can't risk spending any of the money Baba gave me for my hair... since styling it and getting it tinted lighter is bound to cost a lot. And dammnit, if Mom came home, maybe I'd be able to go "B2S" shopping at Mervyn's or something...! The sales are still going on today, and she hasn't called or come home! ARGH! I'd be happy with just her giving me money, at least... *sigh*
@_@... I wanna go to Sally beauty and get some of these cool mood lipsticks while they're 99cents... but I just got 7 new lip colors this weekend! ;_; I need more lipsticks like I need a hole in my head... but I'm almost out of all my mood lipsticks! ;_; I'm turning into... *screams* ERIN!! AUGH!!!
Whee, free stuff. Guess I'll be going now... everyone have themselves a nice Labor Day, mmk?
