MORE DREAMS

i have been dreaming soooo much as of late. maybe its because, as brianne pointed out, our home has alot of things 'that look like they affect your dreams' i take this as a compliment, but i think she meant that i am a witch.

i think dreams are really telling, and i like to have them written down somewhere, so here are the two that i remember clearly from last night, but there were many more.

1:
i was on a bus, a schoolbus but not for school. we had hillary on board (hillary clinton) on board and we dropped her off and we turned to leave the bus stop area, but somehow she was back on the bus. as we pulled out of the area, we passed chelsea on the sidewalk (chelsea clinton) and ahe had a stack of files and she looked angry and she mouthed, "mom what!?" i assume because she was supposed to be meeting her mother. Hillary then mouthed back "i need some snow" for plants was my guess. ?

then we were flying over a snowy wyoming looking field, i was flying with hillary and we were carrying a metal bucket between us. we landed and were collecting snow. Hillary then peed on her foot and into her shoe. I guess because she needed to melt the snow. END OF DREAM.

2:
i was in middle school. we had a school-wide assignment to write about a native american peoples. it was the day that we had to dress up in traditional dress and paint our faces and give our presentations. I met a girl from my class in the bathroom, and she asked me what tribe i had picked. i realized then that i didnt have a tribe picked out, or for that matter, a paper written. i nonchalantly asked how long her paper was, and she said "realy longey" and i said, "oh." i had spent all night doing my face paint and hadn't written the paper. i told her that i had picked one of the plains peoples and that i was going to finish my paper up at lunch. i think she knew i hadnt written my paper. its important to note that in the dream this girl wanted to be my friend, but that i was afraid of her. then another girl came in riding a bike, but in place of tires was alot of hanging yarn. the girl i was afraid of told me that i had better go, so i left the bathroom. END OF DREAM.

ridiculous right? and the wierdes thing i think, is that i don't believe i've ever had a flying dream before, and now i have but it was with hillary rodham clinton.

should i be blogging about serious things?

interesting fact that i bet the entire rest of the world already knew. when a tree is cut down, it releases carbon dioxide that it had been storing to convert to oxygen, and thats the real reason its bad to cut down trees. do people know this? i always saw it more as a loss of habitat thing, but its more. you see, carbon dioxide levels affect global warming. huh. something new every day. thanks jean michel cousteau!

RAIN



i read catcher in the rye, i cried. i had been avoiding reading it because you know, its one of those books. i actually thought it was about baseball...oh man it makes me wonder what other things i've completely mis-judged, and i'll never get to know or understand. i think thats sort of the lesson for me.

BEAUTIFUL

its so nice out, i just shared a meal on our roof with ann and some neighbours, and i seriously couldn't be happier about spring and summer being here. to get a feeling of my mood, here is the human league.




i found this artist named chris verene, photographer performance artist. he does this thing called the SELF ESTEEM SALON, where depressed people come, put on costumes, build sets, and enact their dreams and wishes and fears in verene's studio space. all as an attempt to show them that they play a part in their identity/happiness/destiny. i love the campiness of the resulting photography, and i want to exist in them.

SUMMER IS HERE SOON GUYS!
