Odd Dreams...
It was weird. I had a dream about Scott last night. I VERY rarely dream of people or things existing. My dreams usually involve silly things like alien cows coming and beaming up all the humans to use as livestock (yes, I had that dream 4 or so years ago).
But so anyway, in my dream we were talking over IM as usual. He said he was gonna come up and visit. I was very excited about it. I remember much bouncing and hyperness over it. So he was like "See you in 3 hours," to which I replied "Dude, there's NO way you can make it here in 3 hours. None." Most of what I was surprised over (mind you I don't remember the entirety of the conversation) was his general attitude, acting like it was just a small casual jaunt over. Like me going to Doug's place in Noho or something. Which as anyone can tell you, KY to MA is NOT a little jaunt. Not until we get teleporters anyway...
So there I am waiting for hours playing FFXI or WoW or something. As 4 hours, 5 hours go by, instead of getting impatient I was internally snickering over, "I told him so. You can't make it in 3 hours". So I keep playing, when suddenly an IM from him pops up, "6h 6min ha!" My first reaction was, "Took you that long to head out, realize it was too long and head back eh?" "No, I'm right outside." "No way. Then how are you IMing me?" "Cell phone. -_-;;" "Oh yeah." Flabbergasted I run to the window, look out and there's a car with a figure inside (which I understood to be his. For some reason couldn't actually see him in my dream). Then I wake up.
Of course upon waking up all my logic meters go off:
1)Scott doesn't act like that at all
2)You can't make it from KY to MA in 6hrs either. NJ-MA is 6h. Not gonna happen from KY, even if you speed like crazy.
3)I doubt he has AIM on his cell phone
4)That car so wasn't his. In my dream it was a small dark 4 door car thing. He owns a dirty purple van. /cheer Dirty Grimace!
Of course the dream itself and my logic alarms seem all rather pointless now. But what compounded my sense of oddness in all this, was after getting dressed and going out to the bus stop, I just turn on and push play on my PDA/mp3 player (I don't even look anymore. Just pull the side switch and press the track dial without even opening it) and the first song that came on was "Starry Heavens" by Day After Tomorrow. Scott introduced me to that song, so always reminds me of him. I was amused by this back-to-back reminder and just continue listening on the bus. As soon as the song ended, my PDA died 0.o.... what the?!? Weird... >.>
Now I consider myself for the most-part a rational person, but I confess to having a slightly superstitious side. The last time I had so many immediate reminders forcing my thoughts to a person was my friend in high school, Becky. One morning I woke up to my radio alarm going off, playing her favorite song (I forget what it was now). Then as I got dressed and went to put on the necklace she had given me, it broke. That was the day she told me she was thinking of dropping out because she couldn't take it anymore. I tried to convince her not to, which seemed to put her back on the fence at least. Later that day from my math class window, I saw her walking across the grounds, more like marching, off the premises with all her belongings. Apparently what everyone else thought was just another one of her stunts, was her fed up with the white upper-middle class "My daddy has more money so I'm better than you" bullshit that ran rampant throughout our area. That was the last time I saw her.
But so yeah, my hidden superstitious side says: Daaaaamn! Hope nothing happens to Scott. *mind starts churning over possible superstitious bad things happening like car accident, job loss, whatever*
Then my rational side kicks in and says: BAAAAKKAAA!!!! A dream and a PDA are just stupid! *repeatedly whacks superstitious side with a rolled up newspaper* Quit making Ginger worry over stupid things like that! And you were an idiot and forgot to plug in the PDA so of course it died!
Superstitious side: But... but.... WAH!!!!!!!!
Yes, I have odd dreams and an odd mind. Not even sure why I'm typing this out... oh well.
