Dreamy Morning Train Rides
Got up late this morning, had to rush through shower and breakfast to make sure I could pick up evie_fae. Turns out she had also slept in, so we were both very sleepy and quiet on the train. Closed my eyes once we'd shown our tickets, and the trip was over too soon.
Seems everyone else was sleepy too, most of the train remained seated even when the doors were open and the aisle clear such that although we were sleepy we still got off before most people. Was our sleepiness affecting the train and it required or motion to wake them from slumber? Or were they recognizing our status as royalty and allowing us to exit first?
I drifted along beside Evie, losing her her for a moment as people and doors came between us. She teased me by saying that one day I would lose her like that and she wouldn't come back. I imagined that in such a case she might have been kidnapped spirited away to faerie and I would have to undertake a quest to bring her back. I thought it would be my duty as jarratt_gray was away, and I would need to get her back before he returned, or he would never forgive me for losing her like that. I imagined searching through the city all the day, looking for clues or gates to other realms.
Drifting continued until suddenly the whole world got suddenly darker! I asked Evie if she noticed the sudden darkening, because I was scared it was just my mind, but no, it had got darker and it was even darker for her because she was wearing sunglasses!
I realized that it was like I had secretly been drugged. Evie confirmed that this was the case, but I was confused, if I had been secretly drugged, how would she know? Until I thought, it must be her, she must be wearing her marijuana perfume!
Lambton Quay had people in it, but they seemed to not actually be in our way, and it had shops containing lovely blue dresses. Evie liked it but said it probably wasn't available in my size. We were greeted strangely by the paper-sellng man at the corner of Cable Car Lane as we headed to Revive for some brainz. Cool cute coffee guy almost remembered our drinks, and we discovered Nawleans was almost completely gone from the front page instead a sportsman holding his love off the ground with one arm as she clutched a bottle of bubbly.
The music was cruisy and I should have recognized it. Evie, please tell me, don't keep me in suspenders, was it Portishead?
Now I am at work, I need to actually do work but my head is still drifting and I'm hoping that writing this down will exorcise the dream state and wake me for a day of banality, but so far it hasn't worked, I've answered two questions about a project I worked on from two seperate support people and it seems there is some sort of automatic pilot answering the questions for me, though it seems to be getting the answers right, I'm still woozy. Need more brainz....
Oh, and happy birthday lossenkemen!
