Dreams in July
--Took a three to four hour nap after dinner today and dreamt about living in a small house with Brad and Alex. We had this softball game going on in the backyard ('cause that's where we had the baseball diamond of course). Sometime before the game I had apparently started boiling water in one of those electric tea kettles in a sink between my two (dorm) rooms. The sink was overflowing when we got back because Brad had come in and said, "Amy, you HAVE to play softball with us," grabs me by the arm and pulls me out. I hit the ball, the ball flies straight up after hitting my bat, everyone looks up, I continue looking up as it falls down, and right into my mouth. As I'm choking (and for some reason I'm a black woman in this dream) Brad is dragging me along the bases and I don't cough up the ball until half way between second and third base. At this time I'm done playing softball (you fuckers) and I go into the house only to remember my tea water in the sink. The water has overflowed and it seems like the tea kettle itself is creating more water. Of course the electric plug is still plugged in and I say to myself, "no way am I gonna touch that." So I yell for Alex and he comes in, tries to pull the plug, gets maybe two centimeters from the cord to the kettle and recoils back, then runs out of the room yelling over his shoulder, "just hit the black test button on the outlet, then you can pull the plug." I can't remember what the actual plug said, but it was something along the lines of Merit in raised letters where the red button should have been, and it said Test underneath it in black. I guess I passed the test because i pressed the button and removed the cord without any problems. Bleh, weird.
