Total Eclipse of the Heart (CAST IT INTO THE FIRE!)
I was out somewhere with a group of people, but I'm not sure where we were. Some sort of school maybe, since there were people I recognized from school, but it also felt like a work place. Anyway, someone I vaguely recognized (was it Collin?) handed me a phone because someone was asking for me. It was Randy needing a ride home. I knew his voice and was proud of myself for recognizing it after so many years. I agreed to give him a ride. Later, in another room that was very similar, if not my actual living room, someone else got a call (a short, frumpy girl) and they came over to me and said into the receiver, "Well, I'll let them borrow the phone..." like they were making a joke, assuming the other person said, "Will you give Carol the phone?" So they handed me a little cell phone and on the other line a boy started talking, asking if I could pick them up from school, but they said a few more things I can't remember, maybe to the people in the background (such as, "I'm asking!"?). I couldn't recognize the voice, so I first asked who it was. I didn't catch the name, but was willing to pick them up anyway. If they knew me, I must know them! I asked where they needed to go, and the town was one I'd never heard of, and it was two words made into one. Can't remember what it was, but it was weird. Killingdear or something. Chattingdear? I have no idea. I looked it up on Google Maps real quick and it seemed close enough, so I agreed to pick them up. I gave the phone back to the frumpy girl and asked her what the kid's name was. She said Dylán, and I was like, "Ok...Dylan..." But then I realized I wasn't going to leave work until 4:30 all week (one wanted picked up on Monday, the other wanted Wednesday), so I needed a way to call these two people to let them know so they wouldn't be left waiting and thinking I forgot about them or had lied about being willing to pick them up. Both people with the phones weren't in sight and I had no way of getting in touch with anybody! I thought of one person that would most likely have some contact info and that was Jessica M, but we haven't spoken in years, so I wasn't sure how that was going to work. I'd have to find her on Facebook and awkwardly reintroduce myself and ask for her help. What a pickle.
Then I was in a house - it was kind of big, kind of dark, but nothing to worry about. Dana was there, and she walked into a room where I was probably doing some chore. I started singing Total Eclipse of the Heart, not realizing I knew the words until they left my mouth (starting with "Turn around bright eyes" I think). I sang one line, she sang the next, and we took turns until I didn't know the words anymore. She took over and I followed with what I knew. She did so well and the ending was phenomenal! I asked if we could record it, and clarified by saying, "I'll record you singing." I think Cheryl (from bowling) was there at the end, but can't remember what that was about. The room we ended up in reminded me of aunt Mary's living room/"foyer" area because there was a door there but also a staircase in front of the door (unlike Mary's single story home) and the dining room was behind all that.
THEN I was at Mount Doom, and Frodo was there being more like Elijah Wood in a turtle costume. He was haphazardly painted green - it went up to his face and stopped at the edges - and wore a turtle shell on his back. He was crouching and looking dazed with his smaller than usual eyes, saying something as he looked blankly into space. I think he was repeating a name, as if calling out to someone. Then he ambled away through the rocky terrain, three scary looking real turtles on his heels.
