i miss people

you know how you go through life and make friends along the way? i like doing that, but i don't like moving to the next stage in life and missing the friends from the previous stage.

our old friends from college, dan and andi came and visited for 24 hours this week. it was great having them here, but i think having them visit conjurered up some longing for some old pals. this is no reflection on my current pals...they are great, i just don't miss them because they are here.

and old pals...why couldn't you follow us around and settle where we settle? then i wouldn't have to miss you.

Dream take 3

last night was rough. i beat up an obese woman in my dream.

allow me to explain.

i was in a car on a road trip to St. Louis (where the White House now is...according to my nightime brain). i was with 2 other girls. they stopped off to run some errands, and i decided to stay in the car. good thing too...

a large woman lets herself in the car and starts taking our stuff. she informs me that she will be taking all of it and i couldn't do anything about it. thats what she thinks. i begin to rail on her. the frustrating part is that i'm beating her will all my might and she doesn't even flinch. its comparable to Jaden trying to beat me up.

now...i've never tried to beat an obese woman in reality, but i'm guessing my blows would at least inflict some irritation.

i kept thinking...why can't i hit her harder? she is going to take all our stuff...and i can't stop her. she just sat there gathering up our things while i rained vengence down on her. she tried having a conversation with me as well. she never even said "ow."

good news. i eventually won. i pushed her out and locked the door behind her. she did manage to convince me to give her 1 sneaker, but i soaked it in water before i handed it off. i guess i showed her.

i could go on, but i'm embarassed that i've even told this much of my dream.

i woke up exhausted. my muscles were tired and my arms hurt. i hope dan is okay.
