dream
i just woke up from a highly amusing dream that i would like to write down before i forget it.
my mom and i were at a bookstore, just browsing around and stuff. we sat down in this picnic area where there were some other parents and families and stuff, and we started talking about different books i used to like when i was a kid. this father guy overheard and started talking with us about his daughter and how she used to read that too, and how she works for an airline now which is a really big deal.
then this other father got up and started talking about how he was doing the community a huge serivice by reading to the homeless, but how some people didn't agree with it. we asked him how anyone could think that was a bad thing, and so he started talking about the books he read to them, and he got really really fired up and was yelling and sounded like an angry preacher. it turned out that he was trying to brainwash the homeless into loving reagan and nixon, and how wonderful that was. as he was talking i looked around at the other families, and they all looked really taken aback, so i was like, thank god they don't all agree with him. so he finished his speech and i stopped paying attention for a moment, and when i looked back all the parents were like yelling to each other about something, and the guy had stormed off, and apparently someone had made a really rude comment to the republican guy, and all the parents were making fun of him. then this gay couple was sitting there and asked if anyone would mind if they smoked a joint. then all the parents started bragging to each other, and then the daughter who worked for the airline told me that her airline had gotten so bankrupt that now they only made napkins. i looked and saw that some guy had asked my mom what she did for a living and she said that she sold squares of purple velvet, and i elbowed her for lying but she kept making up this story about her purple velvet square business. then all the parents began running around comparing salaries, and then i woke up.
