azuriteOkay, I just woke up from what was probably the second weirdest dream of my life. The thing is, I know I've had other dreams this weekend, but for some lucky reason, I woke up remembering this one.
Okay, so everyone was in this giant (and I mean GIANT) theme park at night, but we were all separated. I remember seeing this very big white house/mansion that looked reminiscent of either the Lincoln Memorial in DC (never been there, but I think that's the one I mean) or some very old Southern plantation house.
I remember going in there and having to deal with massive crowds, and when I finally got to this upper floor, some guy leaning on a nearby table (I can't remember his face) called out to me. He said something about me not looking ready, I had to go somewhere and meet someone (Eva?) in "Energy Hall," and I had to go in the room to the right and get dressed. Then he said something that really pissed me off, so I stalked away from him, angry that he was such a jerk. I went into the room (completely empty, "my" room) and got dressed-- there was this very nice navy blue with sheer black (tulle? lace? gossamer?) over it, and so when I moved it around in the [moon] light, it shined in all these different colors; it was very pretty. There was a matching rose corsage with a funny button on the bottom holding it to the hair tie (that's what it was!) that I put on my wrist; I would later find out that this corsage alone would allow me to open a special door.
I didn't have a microphone headset like the other girls, so I headed to leave- and the doorknob came out in my hands. But instead of string or something being attached (a'la Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which I watched on Friday night), an ice pick (!?) came out... something sort of like last Thursday's Alias episode, except Rachel's ice pick was concealed in a round hair brush! Anyway, I don't think it was a real ice pick, it was a key-- sort of like how the Millennium Ankh is a "key" yanno?
Well I headed out of the hall, and I either made my way to this "performing" hall, or I opened the door and BAM! I was on stage. Somehow I knew exactly what to do-- sing, say this line, wait for so and so, and then run off. I think my character's name was Maria, and I was some sort of princess with all these friends and sisters in this really bizarre fantasy kingdom.
After my "part" was over, I had to go find Eva, but I decided to change back into my normal clothes first-- either jeans or leggings, plus a gray sweat jacket with one of those center pockets and a hood. I left the dress and the corsage in "my" room, stuffed the ice-pick-key in my sweater pocket, and headed out. This time all the halls were empty, but the theme park walkways were packed. I was trying to weave my way through the people, and that's when I bumped into Pegasus, flanked by Croquet and Kimo (aka Saruwatari, or Sarutari, I can never remember which). I apologized briefly, and Pegasus just gave me this "get off my shoe, fangirl" look... and I wondered whether his Millennium Eye was intact or not. I couldn't tell. I did notice he had one of those Big Gulp-style mega-sized plastic mugs in his hand, and something fruity smelling sloshed around when I bumped into him.
All of a sudden, a bunch of fangirls came screaming up to him, going "Pegasus! Pegasus!!!" (sign my stomach in lipstick! PLEASE!) and I just wanted to get the hell out of there. So I squeezed my way through the crowd, and noticed that the wooden staircase going up to the water rides was abandoned. There was a bridge leading over the path I needed to get across, and a tree on one side... I made up some insane Mission Impossible-type plans and ran up the stairs and over the bridge. Next thing I knew, I was down the tree and heading toward a smaller-style white mansion with all those pillars in front, supposedly where Eva was.
Now, The Guy (whoever he was) appeared again and demanded to know why I didn't have the key. He showed me a pink/black corsage and opened the door for me, and then curtly informed me he would NEVER be nice to me EVER again. I rolled my eyes and entered the room, and I noticed Eva and her roommates were performing. Singing, actually. The story seemed to be about all of us princesses and our oddball natures (I was the rebel, there was also the primadonna, and I think Eva was the demure/coy one), and how we were all getting forced into these marriages.
And then I did something totally FFX-ish and jumped into this "air lift" that worked on no strings, cables, or even visible gas, and up I went to the wings of the stage. A few curtains aside and I watched Eva from the side, making funny faces at her whenever she glanced my way. She was somewhat irritated and though she stalked off, I "knew" she wasn't angry; she just had to head to another performance in "Winnetka Hall".
That's about all I remember I think, but still... bizarre!
Yeah, so my weekend pretty much consisted of helping Scott with a photo shoot (being a model) for about 10-11 hours. I didn't go to anime club, and frankly, I DO NOT CARE. I have learned to navigate torrent sites and forums (and annoy people like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baine) for the latest info on good dramas, animes, and the like. Ergo, I don't have a NEED for anime club. I should have just known from the get-go that no one will ever replace the SFSU gang, and when they're gone and dissolved, they will still have the best spot in my heart, over any and all anime clubs, just because of the GOOD memories I had there. Yes, I had lousy ones too, but overall, it was so worth it. Those people and those times meant so much to me. :) And I'm looking forward to coming home in December and seeing all the guys at JTAF again. And maybe even a girl from my Japanese class, because she said something about going to SF/this "anime con" in December.
Back to my weekend, I also watched some movies, tried to babysit the dogs across the way (somehow they manged to get ahold of the older girl dog's food bowl when I put it upstairs for her; when I got back the next afternoon, the rim had been completely chewed apart), tried my first bottle of Smirnoff Raspberry (yum! But I didn't even get a buzz...), and generally had a nice time. I didn't get the chance to go to King Tut as planned, because Grandpa was taken to the hospital. He's better now, but the scare was enough to keep me and Scott at the house until they got back. So we'll go on the 18th at 9pm. Weird, but hey! Spooky mummy night.Maybe it'll help for future chapters of WDKY (you didn't just read that).
Anyway, the laptop's being a bitch again. Scott and I tried to install Adobe CS on it, and it kept restarting the InDesign/Acrobat Reader/other thing install. I got Photoshop to install, but it took forever to "load fonts" even though I'm pretty sure I don't have that many on my laptop. I decided to try and get all the updates I could from Microsoft Updates before trying to use Photoshop again, so I haven't touched it yet. Hem hem. Well, I know what to do if it goes floopy on me again (heh heh heh).
What's left? Japanese listening comprehension, hopefully getting paid for the dogs (even though I was so busy yesterday that I didn't scoop any poop, and they came back early today), writing a short skit, memorizing a new dialogue, practicing for a new response drill, and trying to remember all that crap from my evil Driver's Ed lesson (I'm going to have to repeat Level 1, because though the teacher was nice, she made me VERY nervous during the mock exam, and I made some VERY stupid mistakes). I don't want to keep stressing, so I have to meditate for sure tonight, try to clean up my room, and give myself a facial. Yes. A FACIAL. :P
