We had a snow day today. I slept most of the day, then got up and went to dinner and went sledding. There was a sign on the hill reading "Danger: Hill Unsafe for Sledding. Serious Injury May Occur." So, naturally, we went there. There are videos.
In other news, I finally got my residual check today, which means I blew entirely too much money on books and subscriptions to Psychology Today and Games magazine. I also went to Walmart and finally got essential things like Q-tips and bubble bath. I got a new vibrating toothbrush. The look on my (very sheltered) roommate's face when I told her it was also good for brushing teeth was priceless, though I had to reassure her that I said it strictly for her reaction before she would walk with me again.
Also, my notes from my long sleep suggest that I had a series of dreams of varying degrees of strangeness. Eh, what the hell. They're under the cut, unedited from the WordPad file except to make the spacing between paragraphs even.
Dream: Let Liviya front, looked through "screen" made by my hands, fell into it (sort-of- sensation of falling, but was only seeing), woman with neat brown hair told Liviya that her trust was misplaced (not quite the right word), because she believed that she (the woman) and the Master had her best interests in mind. (Wish I remembered exact wording.) "Fell" back out of it, was disoriented, saw everything in the world around me as skew lines glowing blue for a few seconds (super trippy).
Different dream: Was working for a company. Found out my boss, Adam, had let someone die in another country in the name of the corporate machine, turned in my "guest pass" (which was what they called our work IDs). I had told the other employees what I had learned, and I was first in a very long line of people to turn my pass in (which involved sticking it in this metal slot to be shredded). The line was next to a window, and there were books stacked on the sill. Adam asked me if I had told all these people what I knew, and I lied and said I hadn't. Something in this dream involved winding of a string through a lot of upraised blocks on a board "snagging" them. Went back to other co-workers (Marc was one of them) after quitting, and the whole place had been filled with trip-wires and booby traps in case Adam and his minions came after us. This was somehow related to what I thought was a separate dream that I don't remember well, involving being in a place with stores after closing and stealing things (including a book of those velvet coloring pages), and there were fireworks (ready to be shot, not in the sky), and I had a change purse with all my money, $8, in it. There was also some kind of shop that Kyle's dad owned, and sometimes thick black lace curtains would be drawn over the door and walls (which were all panes of clear glass) so that you couldn't see what he was doing inside.
Was this the dream that had the people in the enchanted objects costumes from Beauty and the Beast marching down the street while I watched from a bridge, and then went on into the theatre, where I followed to see Nick, who tried to convince me to stay around and audition because they were doing the show again?
Different dream: Dreamed that the cemetery visible in the corner at Tabia's wedding (reference to a previous dream), was actually that super-terrifying one from other previous dreams.
Different dream: Don't remember this one well. I know it involved a small town in Muhlenberg county and jokes about a demolition derby my mom was in involving a Ford Festiva, a go-kart, a bunch of other old cars, and one guy's prized brand new 55-foot red fishing boat.
