Bizarre. [EDIT]
Sunday, February 10, 2008 @ 9:13 am
I just had one of the most bizarre dreams I've had in a while.

It's an epic, and so I don't think I want to type out the entire thing here, but during the course of the dream:

1) ...there was not one, not two, but THREE different competitions, one of which was actually a new reality show hosted by Tyra Banks. Those competitions?--a cooking contest, a robotics contest, and a talent/modeling/trivia reality show where a regular person is teamed up with a celebrity.

2) ...there were a gaggle of old friends, people I only obliquely knew in college, and celebrities--sometimes only wearing underwear (or less).

3) ...I attempted to learn to play golf, but that never panned out.

There's a lot more NSFW-type things that happened last night in my dream, but I think I'll let those go without much comment. How I managed to cram all of these things into one 7-hour period of sleep is beyond me.

On a more serious note...

Today is his birthday. I miss him dearly and I will never let my high school friends know exactly how much I miss him because they'll all think I'm crazy. And maybe I am. But you can't be that close and then all of a sudden have things disintegrate and NOT think about it several years later on occasions that are fraught with meaning. Or can you? Maybe you can, and maybe he's proved that. But I can't.

Because I'm probably crazy.

Oddly, he was in the dream last night. He played a minor role. My celebrity partner and I were walking down the street and we passed him. I think I noticeably tensed up and my partner was like, "You want me to kick that guy's ass?" Then I laughed.

An aside: I vaguely remember laughing out loud (in my sleep) while I was dreaming. Though, that may have been when there was a clip on TV on a show with home videos of little kids (hosted by Ashley Olsen of all people). In the clip, there was this beauty-pageant like competition (a fourth competition?) and there were three finalists. One of the little girls was asked a question--I'm not sure what it was--but she tried to say "...finish sewing the dress" but she ended up saying "...penis showing the dress."

You're not crazy for missing someone. Who cares what anyone else thinks. ^.^

Interesting verbal typo, there. :P

I love weird dreams. . . sometimes. and you're not crazy for thinking of someone significant from your past. as much as I don't want to, I still think about my ex. {blech!}
