resurrected, living in a lighthouse
if you leave there ships are gonna wreck

"Dolly, stop! Dolly, brakes! Dolly, give us some freaking warning! Bad Dolly!"

What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you tell the difference between the dream world and the real world? I'm still not lucid. Damn that was disturbing.

I was talking with a friend about how much we had both hated being engineers (souls dying and 9mm solutions came up), and I realized... that we'd had two classes together while we were friends without ever knowing the other person was also in them. The way he put it was: "Funny how I didn't notice you, seeing as there were only... 200+ people in there."

It really made me stop and think about how much I'm missing out on, just out of necessity, or because there just isn't an opportunity to get to know people in many situations. A lot of the really good friends here I have I've made through classes originally, and it's such a small fraction of the people who I could be getting to know. I'm glad I haven't known what I've missed out on, but it always draws me up short when I realize what I could've been missing, either through quick judgments or just not wanting to go through the effort of making friends. And it makes sense that the friends and acquaintances you have you've made in the places that you spend the most time; that's only logical. A lot of these classmate-turned-friends are people that I probably wouldn't originally choose to spend time with, but just through sheer exposure have gotten to know and like them. And that's pretty damn cool.

Today I got to be the camera operator and assistant camera. God that was stressful. Still glad as hell that Jon's my partner, because we can be patient with each other.

quotes, friends
