goodbye, livejournal of yore
postsecret party, not a success. i did get everyone to watch most of "end of the century", though, without anyone bitching about it being emo or weird.
i had this really awful dream this morning (i slept in). my dog was had escaped and was running down the street, which looked more like abbey road than any street i've ever been on, and i couldnt catch her. she wandered out into the street and got hit by a truck. as i ran over to catch her i noticed that she was breathing shallowly and that just her front legs had been severed. i picked her up and cradled her and i walked to the hospital and they put vaseline on her nubs but said that they would have to put her down. i protested, because i had seen surviving dogs with less, but they stuck a needle in her and that was it.
the worst part was the feeling of helplessness that i felt when i saw that she had wandered out into the street and that i couldnt catch her in time.
to boot, i hear from college in three days. i dont believe in prayer, but i do recall reading about an experiment in which 1000 people were taken into a soccer stadium and told to focus on torching a tree that had been placed in the middle. after 20 minutes or so, the tree burst into flames. i think i made that up, but it was comforting for a while.
