(no subject)
I had a super weird and super vivid dream last night.
So apparently I was back in high school. But not just dreaming about still being in high school, there was some sort of weird complication to the beginning of the dream (involving my production professor who is hot and irish, and rolling down a big hill) and somehow I wound up trapped back *in* high school with one major change.
I was popular. I was on the student council, I was friends with all the jocks, and tons of people I used to hate would say hi to me as I passed in the hall. Suffice to say, it creeped the shit out of me. I went to the cafeteria and, deciding to press my new-found "luck" if you will, plopped myself right down at the "popular" table, where Erin Koch and Pat Levecchia were sitting. When I did that, Pat smiled and put his hand over mine, which I assumed meant we were dating. Erin started blathering on about gossips or class work or something, and I noticed Alex (my best buddy since Kindergarden, who I spent senior year completely pining over, if you recall my lame, lovelorn entries from then...) over at a table, sitting by himself. So I waved him over. And Alex, being the total sweetheart that he is, came and stood by the table, until I told him to sit. He gives me this "wtf" look, and I know that if I can convince anyone that I've already graduated from this school and I wasn't popular at all, it'd be him. He asks me why I asked him over, and I'm like "I'm being friendly." And he says something to the effect of "Well, you weren't friendly last week when you [made fun of him or something]". I just remember starting to cry next, and Alex going like "Oh yeah, bring out the tears for something you know you did", because I was just so sad that I had unconsciously hurt one of my closest friends. So as I'm trying to explain to him, Erin goes "Is this asshole making you cry?" and I'm like "He's not an asshole, he's been my friend since kindergarden". And Alex gives me this weird look and goes "No we haven't, we didn't even go to the same kindergarden." And I say "Don't be ridiculous, we both went to Trinity Lutheran." And Erin wrinkles her nose and goes, "There's no such thing." So I start to freak out because my whole world's sort of falling apart, and Pat's like "Baby it's okay" which weirds me out even more, so I flip out and leave the cafeteria.
So I don't remember it fully, but apparently I explain everything to Alex who totally believes me. And we start spending more time together as he starts asking about what we used to do, etc etc. And, like the cliche-romantic movies my dreams tend to imitate, we end up totally in hearts wif each other. Well, this apparently pisses off Pat to no end (in real life he's a really laid-back, chill kinda guy, but dream!Pat was vicious) and he goes off to Alex's house to beat him up while I'm at my house. I call Alex for some reason, and he picks up and I can hear Pat yelling at him. SO I yell "Alex don't worry I'm coming!" into the phone and race to put on shoes and get my car keys and get out the door. But my brother's all "Where are you going? Tell mom where you're going" (my parents are also unaware that i ever wasn't a popular little HS student) and my mom's all "where are you going? can we come? take your brother with you." and I didn't want to tell them why I was leaving, but I needed to help Alex, and in one of those dream-like things, I kept getting stopped by them and was so frustrated, and I couldn't save him.
Then I woke up.
So yeah. That was really weird, but also kinda cool. I think some sort of vague idea of that might make a cool kid's movie. Like...teen romcom. Le shrug. I'm late to a group meeting for my gender class right now. We have to go over our presentation for the 10th time, apparently. I kinda hate them. I should be SLEEPING RIGHT NOW.
Gotta blast!
