| see visions and dream dreams
So, last night i had a dream. It went a little something like this:
I was on a cruise ship. I was with a couple of other people, but I can't remember who they were. The cruise ship had 4 HUGE floors/decks. They were so large that there was a roller coaster on one. You could take an elevator or stairs to go between the different floors. And the cruise was full of all kinds of different people (races, ethnicities, ages, etc.) I was with my friends/family (whoever they were) on the fourth floor riding the roller coaster. we got off the ride and were walking to our room when an announcement came over the loud speaker. now the loud speaker was very commanding. everything stopped to listen. a man's voice with a thick accent came over the loud speaker. he said something a long these lines:
"just as with all public places, germs are present and they spread. we have found a virus aboard the ship. germs spread easily, so it is not surprising that we have found this virus in the restrooms, in the sheets, on the walls, in the food, etc. now, in order to contain this virus as much as possible we need to divide into sectors. We need all of the americans to go to and stay on the fourth deck." then speaking in french he told all of the to go to the third deck. then the next two decks he used two languages i had never heard.
so, with no panic, everyone went to the respective locations. i think there was some talk about the possibility of the cruise ship sinking or tipping over. but the loud speaker voice told us it wasn't going to happen.
then, somehow, i managed to escape with a feisty young (8-12 yr old) kid on a speed boat. but as we were out in the middle of the ocean, we used a makeshift sail rather than waste gas. oh, i forgot to mention, when i got on the getaway boat, i was suddenly john locke from the tv show 'Lost'.
So, we were somewhere in the far east stuck in the ocean. but this kid and i use the sail (which we're holding with our hands) to make it through the ocean. and we make it to italy. (how we made it to italy using a hand sail and without any food, i don't really know). so, i (john locke) tell the kid we should stop and try to get food for the rest of our trip back to the states (because apparently we had to sail all the way back). the kid didn't want to, but agreed. so, we walk into a market and she took a jar pickled baby cucumbers off the shelf and stuck them in her coat. and i said 'no, we're not stealing.' then she just ran away from me. but i started yelling and turned her in. so, she got caught for stealing and taken away.
and for some reason, without her i knew that i couldn't sail back. so, i decided that my only choice was to learn italian and find a job and a place to live. that's about when i woke up.
i did notice after i woke up that there was never a time in my dream where i thought about telling anyone else about all the people on the cruise ship.
anyway. it was weird, weird, weird. and the only thing that connects to anything i can remember in reality is the jar of pickled baby cucumbers in italy. i heard about them on "the splendid table" (a cooking show on NPR) on sunday.
so... where did this come from? what does it mean? any ideas?

apparently i'm really religious and really poor.

| so. today i took the kids out for pizza.
abe: what's a cult?
jes: well, a cult generally
has religious undertones. It is a group of people who gather
around an idea, person or thing... blah, blah blah...
amelia: a good example is catholics.
i had a hearty laugh about that one. cause lots of people at my
alma mater actually think that. and their mom grew up
catholic--meaning their grandparents are catholic. i wish it
sounded as funny on xanga as it did at round table pizza.
i am moving to grand rapids, mi on thursday, march 23, 2006 (which we
all remember is the same day that, in 1989, a 1,000-ft diameter
asteroid missed the earth by a mere 400,000 miles). for those of
you with calendars or handy-dandy digital watches, i don't have to tell
you that is in less than one week. coincidence??? the
verdict is still out. (i heard stephen colbert use that phrase... i thought it would make me sound cool.)
i'm pretty much ready to be done moving. michigan to minnesota, minnesota to california, california to michigan. all in the course of 4 months.
i wish that i were able to process any part of my life right now, but
my brain is on vacation. i don't expect her back anytime
soon. oh well, i lived fine without using her for the last 25
years...i should get along fine for a few more.
Shit! (that was just for good measure. i haven't met my quota this month of "xanga swears", as i like to call them).
if you didn't laugh at least once or six times during your reading of this, then i probably don't want you to comment, nor do i ever want to see you again.
in the [quoted from someone else] words of my not-so-secret crush
(daniel v., project runway): you're my new best friend. call me
every five minutes. out.
