weird dreams

it's early in the day, and i may post again later today, but i wanted to share this before i forgot about it:

last night, i had a dream where i ended up dating bobby flay (for those who don't know, he's a chef and one of the food network stars). i think this is weird because in real life i'm not a huge fan of the man. i think he's a tad arrogant. and it wasn't really him, but that's who i saw in the dream....you know how you dream about something and there's someone there who looks like someone you know but it's not really them? anyway, not only is it strange that i end up "with" bobby flay, the dream took on sort of a knight's tale quality -- half modern, half medieval. except, unlike the movie, we were in modern times wearing old clothes (and only the kids were wearing old clothes, actually). there was this little girl who was working in the castle where we were eating dinner at the dinner party. she was really small (and looked like abigail breslin, but that's explained by the fact that i watched part of definitely maybe before i went to bed) and so sweet. i started talking to her and something happened so that she fell in some water of some kind and was soaking wet, so i wrapped her in a towel, took her into a room, and put her on the bed. and in comes bobby flay and some other guy (i guess some kind of castle helper?) and we're discussing how this girl will need new clothes because she's just ruined the only ones she has. i'm really upset but then i get excited about the thought of taking her to get new clothes. so bobby gives me money and we head out (me and the girl). but we head out into some old town, i don't know my way around and we have to find someone to make her clothes. i'm getting nervous i won't find anyone when we see a sign and we go into the store. the lady is super strict and when she takes the little girl, i walk outside for a bit, end up next to this hotel where there are people talking about me, so i get scared and run towards the castle to get help because the driver deserted me and i can't get back to the little girl in the shop and i'm worried she's going to get scared that we left her.
and that's where it ends, with me running into the castle, wrapped in a sheet (no, i don't know why i'm wrapped in a sheet), scared....

other little details i remember:
-at one point, my nails are painted black with white flowers and designs on them, but they're beginning to get chipped (just barely, and they i actually really liked them). bobby likes them, and when i protest that i need to have them redone he says they're perfect.
-there's this other girl who is trying to get the attention of bobby flay. apparently, before i came along they were interested in each other or something. this girl is sitting with me, and i'm really impressed that she's kind of ignoring him because he wants her to be with him. i'm thinking that i'm not sure i could ever do anything like that.
- the only other time this girl comes around is when i'm carrying the little girl to a room. she seems upset that i'm taking care of the girl and not her, but all that happens is we walk past each other in the hall.
- i felt really safe and cared for with bobby flay.

things i would like to know:
-why did i dream about bobby flay? who is he supposed to represent?
-who is the little girl?
-why is it half-modern and helf-medieval?
-why does the design on my nails and the conversation about them stand out so much?


so....i guess that's what i get for eating late at night :)

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

pigeon love

yesterday, i was walking to my car and heard a pigeon. this is not especially unusual because there are pigeons all over the place, their presence just outside my house encouraged by the bird feeder hanging from one of the trees. however, this pigeon caught my attention because it was loud, close and sounded strange. i looked down and saw this pigeon essentially pacing back and forth by the wheels of a car.... where his pigeon friend had been the wheel's unfortunate victim and was no longer with us.  y'all... the pigeon was mourning the loss of his friend. it was so sad and sweet and touching.  i honestly wish i had had a camera to capture the moment. but it got me thinking. about friends, family, community, etc. being missed. don't we all want to be missed and mourned like the poor pigeon was? the kind of people that make the world, our communities, our families, and our friendships better because we are a part of them? and isn't that wh...
