My Cousin Likes to Shoot Stuff

May 06, 2011 23:57

Hello people!

Last night was horrible.

I had a nightmare. I was watching That 70's Show on a nice, sunny morning. I went around to the basement so I could feed the pets, and I found Squeaker walking around and the basement door open. I looked out onto the breezeway and saw another Squeaker. I grabbed the Squeaker in the kitchen, put him in the basement and shut the door, muttering to myself.

I looked back out to the breezeway and saw that there were no extra Squeakers anymore. But then I went into the kitchen and there sat another Squeaker. I was so pissed off that he'd gotten out again. Taco was sitting in the kitchen, too, waiting for food that I guess I'd left out on the counter. I picked up Squeaker to put him back in the basement and Taco growled at me.

He chased after me, growling and trying to bite my feet. I freaked out - that's a big fear of mine, being attacked by a dog (even if it's just a little dog) - and told Taco to go lay down. I went to put Squeaker in the basement, but a very tall, somewhat older man (maybe 50s?) in a blue, cowboy-esque shirt and jeans and carrying a cowboy hat came out of the basement, panting.

I recognized him immediatey: I've dreamed about him before, but upon waking up, I can't recall any dreams he was in previously...apparently, though, he always has two bottles of something that he tries to pour on me and I try to prevent him from doing that, cuz I know he's gonna hurt me or kill me if I don't stop him. This time, I couldn't hold him off, and he poured one of the bottles over my head.

I cringed, but then I froze. I'm sure you guys haven't read the short stories I just wrote, I know it's still early, but one of them involves paralytics and torture and I somehow knew that this part in the dream was gonna happen like the scene in my story. I became paralyzed when he poured the bottle on me and I was terrified. Then I woke up. It was around 7:00 when teh rents got me up.

I got ready to go and mom dropped me off around 8:30. It was kind of a long morning, but I brought Wes Craven's New Nightmare with me, so I watched that before class. I'm so glad I got to watch that today, it's been too long since I watched a NoES movie, lol. I'm gonna watch the first one on Monday (Movie Marathon Day!). I got some hash browns for breakfast, then went to Bones class.

We had a test, but it was open book! :D YAY! I'm pretty sure I got 100%, lol. When I got out, I took the bus to the terminal where I pick up the transfer, but mom was passing by when I arrived, so she stopped and picked me up. We went home and had lunch together, then we got to baking. We had to make delicious, gourmet refreshments for the Young Writers Showcase, you see, lol.

We made cookie truffles, lemon bars and maple bacon cupcakes. They all came out great! \o/ But they took roughly six hours total. It was exhausting, lol. We watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which was pretty good. Surprisingly so, actually. I liked it quite a bit. Eventually, we all got ready to go and left around 6:20. A few people were there already, and we set everything up for the Young Writers Showcase.

It was really fun hanging out together outside of school, even though it was sort of a school-related event, lol. Still, they're all great people in that class and I will miss seeing them every few days. Alas. I set up the livestream (and found that I could record on Ustream, which was great cuz some people from class couldn't be there, but still wanted to see the YWS) and we got started around 7:15.

Wanna watch the whole event? You can, here:



We had a great time and it really was a great experience. One of my fellow classmates, Josh, suggested we make a club devoted to doing the Young Writers Showcase annually. I think that was a brilliant idea and intend to set it up when I can, next time I'm at school. After the event, teh fam and I stopped at Wendy's cuz I hadn't eaten anything since 1:00 and by the time we go out of the YWS, it was after 10:00.

Title of this post is from one of the short stories. The late dinner was delish and we went on home after that. I'm so exhausted, lol. I've taken a shower and now I must get to sleep.

Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*
