Our thoughts compressed, which makes us blessed and makes for stormy weather.
I'm contributing to Dili's friendslist having a simultaneous crop of weird dreams.
Last night I dreamed that I was in Heroes, and I was in a house full of people who had powers. The only one I remember was this teenage boy who had the ability to look at blueprints of anything and make it out of nothing (albeit imperfectly). It was cool-- he made a working car, that admittedly had quite a few parts missing. Sylar was also there, although he didn't have his powers, so I got to call him Gabriel and tease him. I don't think he ended up liking me, but that's okay. He has no reason to kill me, I don't have powers or a car. There were random sideplots, including me being stranded in the woods and hunting a monster with, of all people, my ex-girlfriend. She wasn't awful, she just spent the entire time not grasping that we were hunting and whining about how mean I was. Perhaps most strangely, there was also an excursion into my neighbor's yard (which, in my dreams, often becomes a wilderness) with a young David Sedaris, because there was marijuana growing wild there and he wanted to harvest some. All right, then.
It was a good dream overall, though.
Mom and I talked about the possibility of me transferring to Cornish, an arts college that I've looked into (and know more than a few professors and graduates of), and I actually took the first step and began speaking to representatives and applying today. My thought is that I'll finish this quarter, take the next off to work (goal: earn enough money to buy a used car), and come in as a freshman or sophomore student with transfer credits spring quarter at Cornish. If it's not the college I belong in, that's fine, but it's pretty universally agreed that I have to get out of SPU and try somewhere that's a little more... focused. So Cornish is a good place to take a new shot. I'm very optimistic about this-- I liked it the first time I visited two years ago, but we thought I'd do better at a liberal arts college (ha, I say bitterly, ha), so I didn't apply. Now that we know otherwise, it's a good place to at least try attending.
Miscellaneous stuff:
Now to get on with my day and replenish my supply of coffee.

Miscellaneous stuff:
- Last night, I managed to be emo at a production of Spamalot. How this is possible I don't entirely know, although I did cheer up considerably when "You Won't Succeed on Broadway" came about. That song is definitely my favorite in the show, probably because of the piano interlude and the grail-dancing. Robin is also probably my favorite character, mostly because I've not yet seen a Robin actor who fails (I've seen sucky Galahads and Lancelots, sadly) and he's just so adorable.
- This is Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder Suresh from Heroes). This is a guy I built a house with this summer in Mfuleni. Coincidence?
- On Facebook today, I noticed that I have the opportunity to "bite" any of my friends. It made me wish my girlfriend was on Facebook so I could perform that action on her. Mmm, mild homoeroticism that's guaranteed to gross a lot of my friendslist out.
- I've worked my way through two webcomics in the last two days. How... college student of me.
- It's a little... ill-fitting to use a Sylar moodtheme and enter your current mood as "good".
