dream

don’t really know how it started but. i was on set of a new movie red scream films was making about vampires. somehow i got to play a small part in the beginning where scary vampires or demons or someone backed me into a corner and were going to turn me. that somehow turned into me actually being recruited to become a vampire. i was told i had to find someone who i think was named ephraim for protection because there would be people after me. i couldn’t find this person/vampire and was told by someone else to go to this one store and that he’d be there. so i find the store and it’s like a “goth” store, with all sorts of clothes and stockings and make up. but i see the whole place is full of normal people just shopping there. so i bought some fishnets and was sad because i was going to be found by these people after me. i must have said something to the cashier about being disappointed, and he said something to me which apparently was in code. he was a vampire and knew why i was there. he said ephraim was gone but to go through this door in the back of the store. so i did, and there was a big apartment back there and a girl who apparently was a vampire. when i walked in she knew why i was there, and she became my sort of vampire mentor. she took care of me and taught me things and protected me from the people who come after vampires. i wasn’t a full vampire at this point and i needed a male vampire to complete the change, and she arranged this from me, but i was scared because he was a hideous old man haha. i guess it happened because the dream continued. we pretended we were high school students in order to blend in, and prom was coming up. we were making plans to go to prom with the other vampire students. things started to go wrong in the vampire culture though. these “people” who were after us were causing trouble, everyone was scared. we had things that told the future to us and all signs were pointing to something bad happening. most people didn’t know we were all vampires, but some were being careless and letting normal people see that we could fly and normal people were getting suspicious. one day arriving at school all the places the vampire kids hung out – like the library because the librarian was a vampire, the art rooms, etc – the whole wing of the school was trashed and they were going to burn it down to get rid of us. prom came, and me and my mentor went together but we were late so instead of getting to sit at a normal table, we had to sit at a bar on stools. the jocks were sniffing around trying to find out what was really going on, and they were after me specifically. they tried to attack me but i got away and left the prom, and was driving down river road keeping an eye out for anyone who seemed to be after me. i saw a car full of jocks at a stop light and tried to lay low, went through the intersection but at the last minute they saw me and backed into my car. the next day all these kids were accusing me of hitting the jock car on purpose and killing them. i got really angry trying to explain that they are the ones that backed into me on purpose, and how is it possible for me to hit another car with the side of mine.

i think that was it. we wore really awesome clothes in the dream. haha.

it’s too hot out. feels like 94. ug.

had a very interesting and encouraging meeting tonight. that’s all i can say.

hilarious moment of the night: a muslim being greatly amused by my “jesus would slap the shit out of you” pin on my purse. he got quite the kick out of that.

i spent 6.5 hrs at the terminal with the wedding party as they decorated. they had a big ole group of people working – including cleaning our marble and kiosks – and it still was that long. gotta hand it to them though, they came prepared, rented a fork lift and everything. i was impressed. glad i brought my mp3 player though as they blasted christian music a lot of the time, and had a 15 minute prayer circle…i forgot about the piercing, and jamming an earbud into it wasn’t very happy. tho it still seems to be healing very nicely.

while there and bored i took tshirt inventory and yeah, we are SO not ordering as many shirts of the new design. we have so many beige shirts still it’s ridiculous.

i also finished reading The Road. I can’t remember if this the book Carolyn recommended, or I saw it on the Daily Show, or what but my mom saw it on Oprah and bought it for me for my birthday (and so she can read it) without knowing it was on my wishlist. Pretty easy read, took about a week and I only read for about a half hour a night. Mixed feelings. It was sort of boring but somehow at the same time suspenseful and you want to know what happens next. I’m not quite sure how one accomplishes that haha. It sort of reminded me of the Dark Tower series – mostly Roland on the beach with the lobster things that bit off his fingers (i forget which book that was, drawing of the three?), and the Wastelands. I didn’t like the end much, I totally did not understand the last paragraph, and it irritates me that they don’t explain why the entire earth was burned….was it a nuclear war, or god’s wrath, or a meteor? that bugs me. I liked it, it just wasn’t at all what I was expecting.

it poured all day, i was exhausted after being up early to go to the terminal so i just went to see my parents for 4th of july. fell asleep at their house so i went home. ended up messing around on facebook and coming across old neighbors and exs. it is quite alot easier to use than myspace but i don’t like that you can’t look at people’s profiles if they’re not a friend or are in a different network. decided to be productive after that and got the new webstore application for the terminal up and running. and not looking like complete shit. why do these aps always give you the ugliest templates? anyway…that’s done. tomorrow is scanning photos to blow up for the CTRC 10th anniversary party, and the meeting with a developer at the Statler. and mailing a bunch of stuff.

my laptop won’t last on battery for more than a half hour. it’s pissing me off. anyone know of cheap toshiba laptop batteries so i can try replacing it? or any other suggestions. a half hour life is pretty ridiculous.

oh and finally a legitimate reason to use my steven colbert wrapped in a flag icon heheheheh

i found The Ex on facebook. new pictures of him proving he still lives in the area. with a girlfriend. pictures, not living with. tho who knows. he is not on my “network” so i cant see his profile only his girlfriends. i am not a stalker. i don’t even know why i looked for him, i make myself avoid it usually, but i did and there he is. and now i don’t know what to do. half of me wants to send a message just to see how he is. the other half of me fears he’ll think i’m stalking him. i’m freaking out. i shouldn’t have looked for him.

*edit* sent a message. shouldn’t have. he probably wont respond anyway. still shouldn’t have. time to f-lock a previous entry or 2

related to the previous post: carolyn, do you know when dirty dancing on stage starts in toronto? i saw ads for it but no details. so want to go!!

work had their big annual 4th of july fireworks tonight, so it was quite busy. the new rumor i’m hearing is that managment is going to ask me to supervise again. we are running very short on floor supervisors and even pit bosses and no one wants to floor because it’s a big pay cut compared to dealing. so i’m working on my list of demands if they do indeed ask me to promote myself again – including weekends off. i keep joking around that i’m going to apply for dual floor-pit boss when they post it in the next few months hahahah. anyway…for the 4th year i didn’t get to actually see the fireworks. i thought about calling in and watching them from the roof of “st anthony’s nursing home” but i’d lose my extra $56 holiday pay haha. maybe next year.

i think i forgot to mention that for my birthday i got a conch piercing in my left ear. didn’t hurt much, that day even i’d forget it was there until i hit it or something. it only bled when i slept on it. i’m supposed to soak it in saline every day, but the days that i forget to the thing doesn’t hurt at all, but when i remember to use the saline it starts hurting again. i don’t get it. if this heals right – unlike the last 6 piercings i got – i want a few more. still scared of a surface piercing though *thinks of “robin finck girl” in reno*.

i should try to sleep since i have to get up at 10 and spend the whole day at the terminal tomorrow. dagr/ian had come by the building last saturday, hadn’t seen him in almost a year. he got stopped by rail police when visiting the train platforms, so i think i may go hang out back of the building for a while and see if they show up. i had an idea to see if we can use them to protect the track side of the building during shitopex. i really don’t know what rail police do but i figure i can give it a shot.

not crying for benoit

\ by

i am not or ever was a wrestling fan. i’ve seen it a few times, and i know some names but…that’s it. and everyone is sad and mourning chris benoit’s death…um…he strangled his wife and smothered his son. then hung himself. i’m sorry, that doesn’t bring about any feelings of sadness for me, even if i was a fan.

and speaking of death! i finished reading american psycho. and i think i missed something. maybe it was in the paragraphs i’d skip because they were entirely about what people were wearing. but i just don’t “get it”. wtf was the point of the whole book? i kept thinking that there’d be some sort of climax, and for a bit at the end i was expecting a “fight club” type revelation but it didn’t come. the closest it came was “bateman” confronting his shrink about the answering machine message…and then that was just confusing. so maybe someone else can explain to me why it’s such a great book, and wtf happens in it. haha. i really have no interest in reading it again. it was too long and a bit tedious.
