I had a really weird, long, funny, interesting, and kray-zay dream. So sit back, fasten your safety belts and enjoy Joy's life scewed just so to fit into a dream.
I was in Mrs. Keegan's classs (Math), except we were watching a movie. We were watching Brother Bear and I think I was using a laptop. At the same time we were watching the movie, I was reading slash (...) about it. I was making notes about how the slash didn't fit at all into the storyline and how it didn't fit the characters.
Zach was sitting next to me. He actually really liked the film. He kept telling me about little easter eggs and techincal details about the DVD, which brings up a small issue I've been having - ever since showing the slightest interest in games, Penny Arcade, and computers, Zach has been telling me anything and everything about computers he can think of. I kind of feel like I've been plunged head-first into a programmer job, with me not even knowing how to use DOS properly. So I just smile and nod but I feel like I'm kind of letting Zach down because of it.
CJ was in class too. He sat by a girl who resembled Jackie from choir, the sweetest and nicest girl you will ever meet, but she seemed to be his sister or something. When I walked by his desk he told me "So we're gonna have a little party tonight, huh?" I blinked, confused. The 'sister' told me that she and CJ were coming over to my house that evening because their parents had to meet up and do something with my mom.
I was extremely excited. I mean, why wouldn't I be. Aieee.
Suddenly I felt a strong, immediate urge to go to the bathroom. This unfortunately is a very common theme in my dreams because: a. Whenever I wake up on a school day, the first thing I do is use the bathroom, and b. Whenever I have a weekend, I sleep in, which leads to c. I often get bladder urges on weekend mornings while I'm still sleeping. This never leads to anything outside of the dreams, thank god, but I feel like I have to go to the bathroom in a lot of my dreams. o.O
Anyway, that paragraph was meant for something, I swear. So, having to go to the bathroom, I went up to Mrs. Keegan's desk and asked her if passes were still being restricted. This is important BECAUSE: Yesterday, Mr. Ashworth came on the intercom and told everyone after 5th bell that all bathroom passes were now void and no one should be in the halls between then and the end of the day. So this show that the "setting" of the dream is after yesterday, which means that CJ should not be there.
She said that passes were still restricted, but class was almost over.
I'm pretty sure in my dream that I did go to my locker and there was a terrible after-school rush and all that crap, but the next important thing happened while I was safe in my home.
Kinda safe in my home anyway.
I didn't know when CJ would get here, so I was excited and scared and waiting.
One interesting thing to note about this dream was that it was unusually accurate of my house's floorplan. Many times in my dreams rooms will shift, or the house will be something completely different. From this dream, I can point out to you exactly where I was sitting or standing when I was doing different things.
So we've already covered Disney, crushes and school, here's another facet that reared its head: Comics.
On the news they said that a group of people were on the loose - they were very dangerous and everyone should be careful. I looked at the pictures and recognised them. They were from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (...except The Thing. I don't know wtf he was doing there.).
And here's where we start getting into the many subtle layers of geekery: Mina Murray, nee Harker, is the only woman in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. She also doesn't have any powers other than being exceptionally awesome and having been a vampire at one point in time.
She was given powers for the movie, I think.
Silk Spectre/Laurie Juspeczyk [and her mother, Sally, who used the same name] is the only prominent woman in Watchmen. She, like the majority of the other heros in Watchmen, had no powers and were just sort of Batman-type vigilantes, which is much the point. For the movie, she is being given some powers. They are renaming her Slingshot, because she can like... shoot balls of energy from her peace sign-imitating fingers. Wtf.
So here's the connection: In my dream, Mina was given powers and she gave herself the name Firewall. I know. And guess what she could do? Yes, she could create walls of fire. Hah.
So we went around being scared for a little bit until the came to our door. Eep. We (though I'm not sure who exactly 'we' was... Maybe just Paula and I) hid in the back of the house while they wreaked their havoc in the front. I don't know why they were here or what they were looking for, but in the end the damage was basically just this: Someone got knocked out and had to be put on a stretcher in the living room, many of the books around the computer were scattered on the floor, and two of the three hinges on the bathroom door were broken.
They left. The cats came out from their hiding place in their room and I came out from mine. I sat on the steps and looked into the living room (if you can't envision what I'm talking about, I can't really explain it. Our staircase goes up to the back end of the 2nd floor, and the first 1/3 of the staircase is the non-existent 'wall' of the living room).
For no adequately explained reason, Frank-N-Furter was sitting on the couch next to the KO'd man on the stretcher. At this point I was either schizophrenic, had a cell phone, or Halo could talk, because I sat there on the steps with Halo in my lap and I was talking to Lu. The unconcious man was old and ugly and Lu asked me "Are you getting hot?" about the man. I said, "I am, but that's because Frank's on the couch." I went upstairs because I decided I had to go to the bathroom again.
In the bathroom I found a bunch of old magazines and flyers - I mean, reaaally old. A couple were from the 60's or 70's because they had colour photographs on the covers, but a lot of them were reeeeaaally old. They were about jungle exploration and different "_____'s of the world" (the greengrocer's apostrophe really stuck out in my mind).
After that I went to the downstairs bathroom and finally was able relieve myself, but not before realising that the door was nearly unhinged. Damn you, The Thing. Damn you.
The phone rang and a woman left a message on the answering machine. I can only assume it was CJ's mom. She was talking about answering an email and they'd be there soon.
Me, being the nosy little snot that I am, went to the computer and checked my dad's sent email items.
It was a really long and in-depth email. At the end of it was a list, of articles of clothing and names.
It didn't take me long to realise that it was some sort of RHPS cast list. Dad played Brad, my mom played Columbia (o.o?!), and people I didn't know played most of the rest. I was at the end of the list, and it said that I could be Columbia if Mom didn't want to; otherwise I was Magenta. What was odd was that it wasn't my name as "Joy", but instead "Joyuna". I looked for CJ's name on the list but couldn't find it.
And this is about where the dream ends. CJ never showed and we never got to have that Rocky Horror party. Stupid dream. :P
This is one of the first signs I've given of actually missing CJ. All through the time he was there, it was really nice: I got the same high as I did with everyone else when I was with him, but I didn't feel any wrenching pain when he was gone; just an absense of the great happiness. I was sad about him leaving and all, sure, but he was like a drug with no withdrawal symptoms.
~Joy will have no crushes to fawn over during the summer... With any luck she WILL have some RHPS however. |
