I KNOW I never finished the last entry, so here's the condensed version:

Writer's Workshop Final, SMNW's graduation, English and History finals, tree climbing, my birthday, PTP meeting, TJ's graduation, Memorial Day, Roman's party, dinner at Roman's house, the remaining four finals.

A lot to pack into a seven-day span, once I expand it out.  I'll do that some other time.

But first, I HAVE to write my dreams from last night before I forget them.

If I didn't at first believe that what we do in real life affects our dreams, I believe it now.  And what I was doing yesterday was watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, looking at random 4chan stuff, and going onto the Harry Potter wiki site to look up information on Tonks and the Lestrange Vault break-in at Gringotts.  And then I had some weird dreams.

The first one was that I was at home.  That sounds really boring, but I'll get into the interesting part later.  This deram related to a dream that I had a VERY long time ago but had forgotten by the time I had woken up, in which there was a girl of extreme importance staying at our house.  I'm not sure who exactly the girl was, but I have an idea of her essence, if that makes any sense at all.  I know she resembled a cross between Tonks, Hermione disguised as Bellatrix (in the film version of Deathly Hallows), and Vera Venus (if you can imagine that).  She was a beautiful girl, and kind and outgoing on the outside, but on the inside she was smart, clever, and cunning; in short, she might be a good match for Artemis Fowl, but she was lightyears beyond any league I imagined myself to be in.

There was no reference to that in any part of the actual dream; this was just stuff I recalled from the earlier dream, which I could only remember while I was in this dream.  And now that I think about it, if my memory is correct, when I first had that dream I wondered where the combination of girl had come from; now I know.

Anyway, by the time the dream started, she had already left our house and moved on to whatever else life had to throw at her.  Though I was in no way in the same league as her, she had befriended me nonetheless, as her outgoing attitude prevented anything else from transpiring.  So as she had stayed at our house, we had become good friends, and I have to admit that while she was there I had fallen in love with her.  (Of course, who couldn't fall in love with a stunningly beautiful girl only a year or two older than you that's smart, clever, and cunning, and at the same time kind and outgoing?  She was almost the perfect girl!)  Obviously, since she was so far out of my league, she didn't share the same feelings for me, but she didn't alienate me when she found about my feelings.  But now that I say that, maybe I didn't tell her...  Either way, she never stopped being my friend, even after she left.  That was another thing about her; she truly liked the people she befriended.  She didn't grudgingly befriend people for mutual advantage or sympathy for another's lower status (like myself) - she actually enjoyed being my friend.  (I wonder if the paparazzi or whatever gave her hell about her and me.  Though I don't think so, because of her personality.  Of course, there's the possibility that she wasn't the type of important paparazzi went after anyway...)

Wow, I got WAAAAY sidetracked by all that.

The point is, it was a few days after she had left, and I was in the laundry room loading the washing machine, when my phone vibrated.  I knew it meant I got a text message, so I took out my phone with my free hand to see what it read.  Sure enough, it was a text message from the girl, saying that she had friended me on a web site (I assumed it was a web site at any rate) that I had never heard of.  Something like "Sum In" or "Sum It" or something like that, but definitely something I had never heard of.  I could figure out, though, that you didn't have to be on it for someone to list you as a friend, but I guess you could access the person easier if you got an account and you were a friend of theirs.  But now that I think about it, how would you prove that you are who you say you are...?

Anyway, I had no idea how to access the site, or even if it was a site.  What if it was some different technology that was REALLY expensive?  But I at least decided to go online and see if I couldn't find the place.

I went onto google and tried about 40 different combinations of different words I thought might lead me to the site, but to no avail.  It got me really annoyed, and I think I was about to text the girl back to see if she could tell me what was going on, but then the dream ended.

To Vera Venus:  HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU SNEAK INTO MY DREAM!?  Well, at leats you gave that girl the edge that really attracted me to her.  Thanks for that.

Though now that I say that out loud, it must be the fact that I was on the Artemis Fowl site fora  while last night.  In fact, I'm sure that's what it was.  The only difference is that Mary Sue's aren't allowed on the AF Fanfiction site, but this girl definitely was a Mary Sue, even though I realy don't like that description of a perfect female character.

Whatever.  Let's move on to the next dream.

This time I was at SMNW.  This time, the school was a cross between it and TJ, in that the architectural layout of the building itself was exactly the same as the original SMNW, but the style was reminiscent of TJ.  There were 2 stires and 3 main hallways in each story, but the floor was carpeted with the TJ carpet instead of tiled and the lockers were the ones at TJ that didn't have locks.  And the classrooms were alll furnished in the TJ style, with separated chairs and desks and other things TJ does which I can't think of right now.

So I was there, and various people from TJ, SMNW, and Carthage high school were there.  It was obviously after school, because in the normal TJ style people were hanging around, sititng and talking, some of them playing Magic the Gathering or Game Boy games.  Some people I knew to be there were Palmer, Alexis, and Ax, but I know there were others (a TON of others) I can't think of.

Anyway, I was hanging with people and I got bored, so I decided that like Roman did at the party last year, I would run down the hallways and do crazy jumps and stuff.  So I ran down the hallway and pushed myself up off the ground using the TJ-esque lockers.  I would seemingly float in the air for a while, then run on the groud even more, then run on the walls for a while.  I did that a few times, until I realized that I was defying the lays of gravity every time I was doing that.  Then I started jumping up and staying up, letting myself float in the air.  The only problem with this was that I had to keep propelling myself forward by pulling on the top of the lockers, as once my speed dropped to below a certain level, I started floarting down to the ground.

I did that for a while, until some people began to take notice that I was flying, and they asked to see it some more.  One girl came up (who was NOTHING like the girl in my previous dream) and asked if I could show her how I did it.  I dhowed her what I did to fly, but I never stopped to see if she had actually flown; that time I flew the longest distance of any point in the entire dream.

In that jump I flew literally from one end of the hall to the other, floating over to where Ax and a few other people were sitting and playing a card game of some sort.  Just as I passed over Ax, I lost enough speed that I began to float down.  I panicked and pushed upward instead of forward, and I ended up landing on the flor just behind Ax.

Coming so close to disaster, I decided not to fly anymore, so I went into one of the classrooms and found Alexis there, and her mom in the far corner.  When I walked in, she was writing something on a Kindle with a touch screen (which I don't know if Kindles have touch screens or not), so I decided to join her and watch what she was doing.  I sat down next to her and put my arm around her shoulder, and asked how much the Kindle cost, since I've been wanting one to take on the Europe trip.  She thought for a moment, and finally said that it had cost $500.  I whistled quietly and commented on how my parents were unwilling to buy me anything more than $100 for my birthday.  Alexis didn't believe me when I said that, and she eventually laughed.

I was annoyed that she was laughing, but in the end I was just glad to be in her company, so I stayed with her and hung out.  I can't remember if anything romantic resulted from her comany; I think something might have, because her mother didn't ever interfere with anything we did while I was there.

So there was one more dream, but I don't have time to write it, so I'll summarize.

4chan apparently existed in the 1970's, and they were playing a prank on this guy who was working at a universioty, so they came and pasted all these random posters on his building.  The guy walked around with a camera, filming the damage 4chan had done, then other stuff in the city he was living in.  Then I joined him and we befriended this GIANT group of kids (because the guy apparently loves your kids) and we went to this abandoned building where the guy apparently worked.

We discovered that the city was a totalitarianistic society where everything looked like it was normal but there was a VERY specific order to things that could not be broken under any circumstances.  So we decided that we would break te order and "free" the people from the society.  So we rioted, and this cleaning lady got really mad at us.  Then all o the floors disappeared in the 14-story-tall building, and we had been on the top floor, so we had to somehow get down.

Then the dreams were over.

Weird, huh?

I like the first two dreams.  A cross between Tonks, Hermione as Bellatrix, and Vera Venus?  That would be by default the coolest girl on Earth.  Still light years out of my league, but I would probably idolize her.  And if she befriended me, I think that would really fall under the awkward chart I mentioned in the last entry.

And if I can't be with a girl like that, I would certainly enjoy spending time in Alexis' company.  It's really stupid that I should get comfort from a dream, but just the thought of being (essentially) alone with Alexis like that and being able to hug her and be next to her and things along those lines...  It makes me SO HAPPY on the inside.  And I SO WISH I could do that in real life.

But whatever.  Hopefully I'll see her in the summer a little bit.  Maybe I could skip a day next year so that I could see her at TJ...

Oh and btw, you guys don't know how close I came to making this dream entry private, if only for the extended involvent of Alexis in the second dream.

Okay, I'm done.  I SWEAR.

(8/9/09:  Gah.  Even though I know who's essence was all in that girl from the first dream, I can't get the image of Niko from the Runaways out of my mind.  Maybe that's because that's what I imagine Veran Venus to look like.  In fact, now that I think about it, Niko probably contributed the greatest percentage to her looks, and Vera Venus probably contributed the most to her workings on the inside.  I'm not sure where her personality came from, but she was kindest, most outgoing, friendliest, most cunning, cleverest, sharpest, smartest, and most genuinely caring person I have ever known, as far as dreams go.)
