Last night was the first time I dreamed (or rather, remembered dreaming), in months. It was a relatively simple dream. I was showing someone around a town, and we were hanging out. I went dress-shopping, and I remember that my dad was NOT happy. Then it switched and I was at the person's house, and we were carrying around boxes overflowing with camera film, trying to find a place to put them for safe keeping. I think we were heading to the attic, and then I woke up.

So I had a dream last night where Miho, Tin, Ax, and I were together for some sort of convention (probably relating to DDO). We all had these fancy invitations that changed depending on where the party was going. After the convention, we were all going to my place for some monster-kicking fun, and the invitations changed to these Asian cherry blossom-looking invitations. We all had a short convo, then I logged out/woke up.
It was very .//hack ish.

So I had a dream... it was rather pleasant, actually, I was invited to go... somewhere, and I was doing... something, and it was all going splendidly. Then I started to wake up and have a more active role in controlling the dream, and of course it all went downhill from there. I forgot where I was supposed to go, horribly insulted someone by accident, and ended up in rags on a street corner.

So i had this really random weird dream and I'm open if people wanna interpret it for moi.
Okay, I don't know if this is part of the dream, I have a feeling like it really happened, but I don't think it did. So from my bedroom window I can see the temple and generally they're all glowy and full of light at night. And I can see the whole thing these days on account of the trees having no leaves. Anywho, I woke up last night, I think, and I couldn't see it. It wasn't lite up and all I could see were the street lights around it. I searched and searched for my glasses, couldn't find them. Anywho, I think i fell back asleep.. or my dream really began here.
So I'm with my ex, but in the dream we're still together, all coupley and lovey and married. I decide I need a baby so I adopt this beautiful baby girl. We go to show the baby to my mother, but instead of going to my mom's house, we go to my old elementary school which, isn't the one he went to, just I did and it's really old, basically they're gonna have to condemn it in a few years time. Anywho, we get past the gate and walk up the stairs to the school and in the foyer/lobby thing, my mom is there. We show her the baby, my ex rattles on and on about how beautiful this baby is and how happy he is, I'm super excited too. My mom looks the baby over and then tells me, "no. you can't keep it. Take it back." And just like that I take it back. Oh and during this whole time, because in my dream this took a lot longer, no one asks her name. I have this beautiful name picked out for my baby girl and no one will ask it. And I can't say her name unless someone asks me, I don't know why, that's just the way it is. Anywho, so I'm pretty furious no one wants to know her name and that I have to take her back.
Second part of the dream, I adopt the baby again, only this time, it's not a baby, she's a toddler by this time and I'm not with my ex anymore... he's become... Liam neeson. Also at this time, my sister, who in real life has been married 10 years now in real life and has three kids, is getting married. We're at her wedding and she's freaking out. She's as skinny as she was in highschool, which is ridiculous, cause I could never fit into her highschool clothes, she was a size 0-2 back then. Nowadays, not so much. So anywho, she's wearing this really flowy dress. Strapless, the top bodice part is white and it has a giant sparkly broach, the rest is black... think breakfast at tiffany's/ audrey hepburn, sorta like that, and she's freaking out cause she's not getting ready in a real wedding dress. Apparently she promised her fiance's mother she would wear a real wedding dress, but completely forgot to pick one up. p.s. I have no idea who she is marrying in this dream, but it's not her husband now. So again I have this adopted child who is utterly GORGEOUS! I mean, stunna babe, stunna. Anywho, again, no one will ask her name and I'm getting really angry cause I just adopted this kid for the second time and once again everyone talks about how pretty she is, but no one asks her name and I can't say anything. Anywho...
that's about it.
I woke up so angry this morning because no one wanted to know her name. They just wanted to hold her and talk about how pretty she is. SHE HAD A BEAUTIFUL NAME! UGH! I'm really mad at my ex, my mother, my sister, and liam neeson for not asking. And the thing is, I know it started with an E and it had an apostrophe in it, but now, I can't remember it. I think if someone had asked her name and I had actually said it aloud in my dream I would know, but I don't and they didn't and I'm mad. I wanna know the name sooo bad. Ugh. Maybe it was just really pretty in my dream and not real life, but my life will not be complete until i figure out that name.
I can't remember....oh *le sigh*

I know what's that's like, but it's really rare to have the same dream again to figure it out. I've had bits of old dreams show up in new dreams as props and whatnot, though.
My dream (one of them) last night was about a RenFest. I went with my brother and mother, and instead of wearing
my costume
, I decided to visit the tent with the rental costumes ($25 and
anything you want
! (except the fan's mine)). I remembered a particular dress from last year, but I couldn't find it now. In fact, I couldn't find any dresses, only nightshirt-like underdresses that were way too big and not nearly modest enough. I spent over an hour wandering around, while my mother and brother finally got bored of waiting for me and left. The woman who worked there thought I didn't know what I was talking about, at first, then realized I really did know what I was talking about, which is even rarer.
Eventually I leaned against a shelf to take a short nap, and as sometimes happens, dreamed about what could be happening. Same people, same room, but they're doing something different. (This usually happens in class...) So anyway, in the dream, there was a round rack of clothes by the entrance, which held all the missing clothes from before. And there was the dress I was looking for! I opened my eyes, and the clothes were still there! I'd walked right past them. Rejoicing, I changed, and started looking for gifts for other people. A packet of seeds in memory of my dead sister (don't have one in real life, don't worry), a knife set and a scarf for my brother, and a packet of gum and a little tchachke for my mother. Then it was time to go, so the man in front of me kindly paid, and I left.
Kind of pointless, but I miss RenFest all the same.

Last night I dreamed about a man and his daughter living in a small town in rural Colorado, which was being terrorized by a sixty-foot-tall black woman who had lost her daughter. All the children in town were required to wear read hats and help her look for her daughter, and they (the children, not the hats) would explode whenever she decided they weren't right, and then they would pull themselves together and come back to life and go through the whole thing all over again.
I ran into the man's daughter while she was wearing a red hat and pulled the hat off her, whereupon she woke up and realized that this hat business was a problem. We went and found her father and decided that the thing to do was to find the giant's daughter and return her.
We went to the library to do research. First we checked out
The Brothers Karamazov
, but it didn't have the information we wanted. So we took it back and checked out
On The Road
. That one was in very bad condition -- all kinds of people had written marginal annotations into it, the pages were dirty and dogeared, and some pages had been pulled out, folded over onto themselves at odd angles, slipped into plastic sleeves, and bound back into the book. Which made them hard to read. But the book did tell us that we would have to go to Denver, and we would have to fly there. When we returned it, the librarian was busy in a crowd of patrons, and he thought we were the ones who had damaged it, and charged us a 65 cent fine. The guy (the one with the daughter) was incensed over the fine, and grumbled about it.
In this world, there were no planes. In order to fly to Denver, we all had to get onto a sort of wagon, which would lift off and fly us to Denver. There were about twenty of us crammed in, sort of lying down in about a foot of space each. There was a retired army colonel at the other end of the train, and me, the father, and the daughter all crammed in at the other end. There were no seatbelts: instead, everyone got a sort of string tied around one wrist, the other end of which clipped onto the wagon. On our other wrist we had to wear our boarding passes. And for some reason I had to hold my sister's dog Ty, who is very small and wriggly.
The wagon took off and flew us along towards Denver. Along the way, we saw some lovely fields -- something significant involving the giant black woman happened in the fields as we passed, but I can't quite remember what it was. Then our flight path went straight through the ruins of a gigantic castle made of green and grey stones. I could see it even when I was blindfolded. As we curled around the last bit of the castle, we could see the dungeon, and the giant black woman was locked up there. She saw us and laid a triple geas on me, but it wasn't clear whether I was supposed to release her or make sure she never got out, so I ignored it and we flew on to Denver.
Denver had not developed in this world like it did in the real one. There was never a gold rush, and no cattle drives. The entire economy of Denver was based on raising hazelnuts and making toilet paper. The entire place was brown and dead, and the giant toilet-paper-making-machines ran up and down the sides of the mountains, coiling more toilet paper than the mind can comfortably imagine into giant spools.
As we were coming in for our final descent, the guy's daughter lost her boarding pass somehow, and got unclipped, and I had to hold her hand for about fifteen minutes to keep her from falling away. I remember watching her dangle over brown tenements as we approached the landing spot.
Then we landed, and went through security. They didn't give her a hard time about her missing boarding pass. And then we realized that none of us had Ty, and he must have fallen off somewhere along the way, probably in Denver some place.
Then I woke up.
I also had a dream earlier in the night, in which my grandmother's house was overrun with mosquitoes, and she wanted me to get her some bats to eat them. There were bats in my garage, so I tried (and eventually succeeded) to trap them in an odd variety of bird cages and the plastic containers that supermarkets serve bulk candy out of. But they were intelligent bats, and quite resented it; and when I let them loose at Grandmother's house, they just flew away.

Last night my dream was... difficult. I woke up in a panic, and searched my room for PROOF that I was, indeed, who I was yesterday. Interested yet?
The dream began in the nearby town of Nitro, on the edge near Nitro. There was a delivery I was taking (though I haven't worked that area in well over a year), and I was hunting for some address that was tucked off the main road. I was having a fair bit of difficulty finding them, so I parked my car outside and took to the street on foot. Holding the pizza bag in one hand, I dialed up their number and called with the other.
It should serve to note that it was pitch black outside. The street lights were dim, and the darkness of the night was very pervasive. There was even a light misting in the air, which served to make me desire nothing more than to be inside some place. So, when they answered the door of a small shop which looked more like a hallway sticking out between two shops, I jogged over and forced the normal smile.
"Come in, come in! Let me get the money for you, child," said the woman who seemed to be in her sixties.
"Thank you," I said quietly. Normally we're not allowed to go inside the house, but it was cold out and a business. Businesses are a small exception to that rule.
"I have it over by this counter, follow me," she said and exited the hallway on the far side. I followed, keeping my steps quiet as I walked.
Once in the small room at the end, I was greeted by a strange all-white counter that appeared to be made of solid wood. There were dozens of clocks on the wall, all tuned to different times. Three letter acronyms labeled each clock with a piece of white tape stuck to the clock's center. Behind the counter, and to my right was a bank of metal boxes. Each was labeled with a three letter acronym, and one of these was open.
The woman smiled at me, sliding a parcel envelope across the counter to me with the money for her order. I retrieved the pizzas and set them on the counter for her, looking confused.
"Ma'am?" I asked.
"This envelope has been waiting for you, it's already paid for," she said kindly. She had seemed to age a bit, at this point. I noticed that one of the clocks on the wall was slowing down.
I mumbled my thanks, and pocketed the money out of habit. Then I began to investigate this parcel, which was in a yellow and white envelope. The "from" data had been mostly worn off, but the date remained: Sent June 1, 1967.
Confused now beyond words, I found my own name and birthday on the "receiver information". Opening the parcel envelope, I found inside a small plastic container with a USB drive inside of it. Folded inside the clear plastic was also a piece of paper, and a small box. When I looked up to question the woman, the entire shop had vanished. Now I was in an alley.
I hurried back to my car, tucking the parcel and it's contents in my normal hiding spot.
That night, I opened the piece of paper. On it were instructions, including a list of things on the USB drive I was to tend to. This was "the exchange" it said, though did not mention what I was getting from it. I noticed that all of the dates on the USB drive were several years passed, and smiled a bit. This had to be some sort of prank, USB technology didn't exist in 1967, and that the events were all behind me made me think it was an elaborate ruse by a friend.
Still, the instructions said to mount the box on the trunk, and it would work as a power source. I did so, running the wires back into the car. Since I've been having trouble with the battery, this was a decent enough find. On my way in to work, I was watching the small box on my trunk in the rearview mirror. I saw it's top suddenly fly open, and three cup-shaped depressions stick out from a center spindle.
The three cups began spinning, faster and faster with the wind coming down the rear windscreen. Before I could even pull over to investigate, white and blue lines stretched out through the car. They wrapped through and around the frame, the windows, everything. Then everything went white.
"Welcome home, Matthew!" I heard my mother say.
I blinked to try and clear my vision, squinting my eyes. I recognized the place immediately, but it made no sense. I was standing in the kitchen of the house I grew up in, which we sold four years ago.
"Amber and Darrion are upstairs, asleep," she continued. Then she walked out of the kitchen, and down the stairs.
My mouth went completely dry, my mind searching for some kind of connection. I felt something in my palm, and then looked down to find the USB drive secured neatly in my hand. I headed upstairs, and sure enough it was the same room my ex-wife and I lived in at my parents' house, before we had our own place. There she lay, with our son. She stirred as I entered, though I had tried to be quiet. A lazy, sleepy smile crept over her face as she looked up at me, the snow white light filtering through the curtains making her look pale.
"Welcome home, how was school?" she asked.
"I... it was good, thanks," I managed, realizing my mouth had been hanging about to my knees.
I sunk down into the bed next to them, giving her a kiss and then holding them both. I should mention here that, at this point, the fact that my dreams usually contain all five senses was HIGHLY disorienting. The fact that my brain remembered the
of the both of them that long ago...
The next day I chose to investigate this USB drive. In it's contents were several addresses, instructions for mailing the same directions I had received, and a number of stocks to invest in. The money was to be divided between the addresses, and I was allowed to keep any excess from the amounts specified to be sent.
Confused, and more than a little rattled, I headed outside. Nowhere to be found was my own car, and then it struck me. If my son was still a baby, as he was in this "time", then I would not yet HAVE my car. I didn't buy it until we had already moved out. In fact, she still had her first car.. and I was using my father's old car. With a sigh, I took the only car I had a key to, and headed in to town.
I stopped to pick up my local best friend, and we went to the first checklist item. A record store, where several records were on sale. These would become HUGE collector's items in a short few years, though I was only half paying attention.
"Man, you're going to think I'm crazy," I began.
"Okay," he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. We didn't have seven years of trust anymore, barely one. I winced.
"Alright, bear with me. Yesterday to me was December third, 2009."
He outright laughed, rolling his eyes. Neither of these are incredibly characteristic of him, but then a lot has happened in seven years.
"I'm serious man. We've known each other for seven years, you helped me through the divorce and separation. You basically kept me from ending up in a psych ward," I rattled off quickly, too afraid and excited to keep my thoughts steady.
"Woa woa, buddy. You just got married," he replied, looking at me like I had grown a third head.
I sighed, then shrugged. I told him some of the secrets of his past that I had only learned in the past four years, proof that I had known him long enough that I was the one he trusted most in his life. When I finished, he was pale as a sheet and shaking... but he believed me.
"So what are you going to do? You know the stocks, you have your life. You can fix things, make things however you want to," he said as we walked out of the store, discount records in hand.
"I... yeah, but all the people I haven't met yet. I mean, what if something changes? What if I never meet them?" I said, the sudden reality of losing so many people so very important to me perfectly clear in my mind. It turned my stomach.
"You know where they'll be, right? Just meet them again."
"And know so much about them, before they even know my name? I don't imagine that will inspire friendship."
I thought about the people I would lose, and realized that with the exception of him... it was everyone. I thought about Earthsong, about my friends in Massachusetts, about my friends in Nevada. I would never meet Ponce, nor her friend, nor her friend's brother(s). I would lose... so many friends, real friends, the friends that have made me who I am today.
"I can't do it. I don't want this," I finally said.
"What do you mean? Isn't this what you've dreamt about for years? Going back, fixing your mistakes, giving your son a real family?" He said, but his voice was different.
When I turned to look at him, his face had smoothed out completely. His forehead was sloped back slightly, and his jaw was narrowed. His eyes glowed with a serene white light, though almost all of his skin seemed to glow. I then realized what I was staring in the face, and my jaw set out of habit.
"What I would have to sacrifice to gain this back, I'm not willing to part with. I can't lose that which made me who I am, to try and fill in the holes of who I was. I appreciate the offer, but... find someone else," I said. I reached out, handing him the plastic container I had received.
The being nodded, then took a step back. "This will hurt," he said quietly. There was a horrible pulling sensation, and then everything that's happened in the past six years went flying by in a moment. I woke up in my bed with a huge gasp, nearly falling out of bed while I tried to climb out of the sheets.

Holy sneeze Tenshi! How could you remember a dream so vivid as that? And it's so elaborate and...and...wow! Just wow.
I've had a dream not too long ago where I woke up and fell asleep again and then the berenstein bears reenacted the parts of what happened in the dream right before XD. It was odd, but amusing and lightened up an otherwise sad-ish dream.
Last night I had one of my weird dreams, I held a weird shotgun type gun that shot out bouncy balls, so I shot out two of them against my dining room wall. It must've had incredible pressure or something because I made two big holes in the wall, and ne was about the size and shape of a football, and then another smaller bouncy ball-size hole was in another wall just behind the bigger wall. In the dream I remembered that in this past summer there was a wall put over the older one (in reality there wasn't), and I could even see a picture underneath of my brother, and the hole went right into his right eye. It was a good picture too and I ruined it.
Actually I had three distinct dreams, another one was about these two boys (well one a teen). They were neighbours, and the older one would always be mean to the younger one, to the point where the younger one resented him. Now the family always liked the teen, because he was always polite to their faces. Now this is the scene that actually happened, the older boy tried to find the younger one for some reason or another, yet the younger one kept trying to run and hide, mostly around the yard and in the bush (they lived close by trees). Now what I thought was interesting here was that the younger boy could turn into an animal. And I can't remember if he turned into a rabbit, or a crow, but whatever it was the teen saw him and just the way he looked at him, it seemed he could almost tell that is was the younger boy.
Anyway, later on the younger boy finally just listens to him since the older boy told his dad later on he was trying to find him and he was hiding from him. The dad got upset at him and told him to listen to their neighbour. The dad really respected the boy. Anyway, the teen apologizes to the younger boy for how mean he was in the past to him. I think my dream switched near here because I don't remember the boy openly accepting his apology or just feeling it.
Now this third dream is the weirdest and the vaguest, the one I remember the least. These two girls were upset at each other. About two different guys or another. Anyway, one got so upset that she started chasing the other, which the other started running away. She noticed that the angrier girl was catching up to her she jumped into the water beside her and started swimming. Well it turned out she was better at swimming too and finnaly caught up to her, which they both went up to the shore. I don't remember how, or what they were saying for that matter, but they somehow stopped being angry towards each other and actually called a truce. Anywho, I just remember there being coloured yoshis in this dream hopping about. Actually I think the one who was being chased noted how fast the other one was. That one told her it was because of years of practice. She in turn noted how fast she was without practice and told her if she did train herself she would probably be ahead of her in a race or something. Meh, they both vaguely reminded me of sailor moon characters.

Last night I dreamed of my childhood home. I was lying half-asleep on the couch in the basement, when my mother turned off the light in the next room and left. Shortly afterwards clouds of white smoke began billowing up from the electrical outlet, and I had to go let her know that the house was on fire. The entire basement had to be rebuilt.
While it was being rebuilt, I went down into it and found a party going on. Everyone I ever cared about was there -- my childhood friends, my favorite teachers and classmates. I talked with just a few of them, and then they all left, one by one, without saying goodbye, until I was the only one left in an empty room with unfinished concrete walls, floor, and ceiling. I knelt on the floor and cried. Then I woke up.

Last night, I dreamed I was on the Food Network show "Chopped." Except it was filmed at my house. I recall two things: One, the other contestants were complaining about the contents of my pantry, which was just plain rude. Two, I was given chicken breasts for the appetizer. I was just planning to fumble my way through grilled chicken breasts with a raspberry sauce when I woke up.
Yeah, I watch too much Food Network.

So my name in this dream was Lucas (most everybody called my Luc) and my boyfriend was named Jon. My shoulder blades and random other spots on my back were peeling, revealing some very pink skin underneath. The rest was my normal tan.
I dove down to the bottom of the ocean to get this large coin (star coin, if anybody plays Mario), and Jon was swimming behind me. When I picked it up, this pirate ship appeared and took us aboard. Turns out, they did performances, and they had a rival ship. I forget what I did...I might have dived into a tank, then held my breath for forever. All our performances were in these seaside towns, and we performed in a circus tent.
Anyways, we were on our way to another town when our ship ran across a sand bar. I remember people yelling "THE HULL IS BREACHED!" Over and over, they yelled that. So I grabbed Jon, slung him over my back, and as the ship sank, I jumped off and started swimming. I was one of the last people off the ship, and I noticed that the first mate was still on the ship, clutching to the firgurehead. I yelled at him to get off, or he'd be sucked down with the ship. I said he had to go down with the ship, so I grabbed him, too (the figurehead was level with the water level now) and put him on my back with Jon. I swam with both of them to our rival ship, and when I got there it was rather crowded. They had seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, eight maids a-milking, etc. The French hens were rather annoying. But we crammed in there and got comfy. I discovered a hidden compartment, and I found a lightsaber with a hilt made out of dragon bone. Jon told me it was pretty well-made. I turned it on, saw the green glow of the lightsaber, then woke up.
EDIT: Had another dream last night. In it, I lost about 6 teeth, all on the left side of my mouth. They just randomly fell out. The thing is, their roots were about the size of my forearm. So my friend and I wrapped them in paper towels and put them in cold milk, called the dentist, and got an appointment for right then. As I'm leaving the house, I got a call from the Damien Center telling me that I got the internship, and asking if I could come in that day. (That day actually being today, Tuesday.) I remember thinking that was weird because today was the earliest they would call me, but I wasn't supposed to start until next week. I decided that my job was more important than my teeth, so I told Melissa to go to the dentist for me and ask if they could preserve my teeth until I could make it. We took separate cars, and it occurred to me that I should have probably gone to the ER instead of the dentist. I went on to the Damien Center, and I apologized for not having all my teeth. My boss asked me which teeth I was missing, and I told her that it was my upper left canine and a bunch of molars. She went on to tell me which restaurants I'd be visiting, but I wasn't paying too much attention. I realized that, since I planned on being single for a while, now was probably a good time to get braces. And I refused to sand down my chipped incisors and get crowns for them because I wanted my real teeth. Then I woke up.
Upon waking, I realized that, despite the fake situation, I do in fact refuse to sand down my incisors and get crowns. I also now plan on getting braces because I do plan on being single for a while.

For the last few nights I have been dreaming about my gaming group. Specifically each dream is about some reason or excuse to stop playing, though being dreams the reasons are usually absurd or too convoluted to make sense.
Still, I hope that they aren't prophetic.

Last night I dreamed that my Granddad was still alive, and didn't have Alzheimer's. My cousin and I were staying with him and my Grandma in a cabin in Colorado, and it was supposed to snow.
That's the short of it, anyways. I don't usually dream about people I know. Odd and more than a bit depressing.

The first part of the dream was about an acting troupe. They were preparing to go elsewhere for a gig, and they had to get into their costumes and whatnot before they boarded the train. Most of them were in all-over bodypaint, a dark silver. And I mean all over - from scalp to inside their lips to the soles of their feet. They also had silver contact lenses. For most of them, this was it (plus clothes, of course), but a few of them had lines of gold across their faces.
The troupe got on the train, but nobody noticed that one of the gold-faced women didn't get on with them. As the train pulled away, one silver man went to the last car to have a lie-down, and the camera panned below the train, to where to gold-faced woman was hanging... beneath that very car. When she knew that no one else was in the car she flexed her arm and it
, like a wave - and she slid it, and then herself, through a crack in the floorboards. A few minutes later she jumped off the train in a wooded area, stopping in a clearing and examining herself. She was still a burnished silver with gold on her face, but she now had more gold. She thought it was pretty, but she didn't like the cost, and promised herself she would never do that again.
What had she done? Killed the man in the coach. The rest of the troupe found him later in the trip, eyes open and staring, clothes bloodstained, body flopping every which way when moved. He'd been bitten right through his collar, a sign that the attacking vampire wasn't quite thinking straight, and had been drained. What they couldn't figure out was why the attacker had attacked another vampire. Turns out all the silver people were vampires, that's what they looked like. A few had those gold lines, but nobody knew what they meant, so they pretty much ignored it. This attack made people nervous, and rehearsals were strained.
Pretty soon news of other attacks came trickling in, and the human actors were getting very worried. The director was not worried at all, and they departed the train to their next performance. While they were there, the woman from the train attacked again. She had a lot more gold on her face; she had succumbed to the lure. She was at the bottom of the stairs, and the only thing keeping her down was one human actress who discovered that singing kept her at bay. So the human actress was standing at the top of the stairs, nearly fainting from fright, and her voice kept slipping into humming or whistling, none of which worked. The vampire smirked and started up the stairs, and the actress started swinging at her with the makeup box she held in her hands.
thwack, thwack, thwack
, she landed blow after blow, but to no apparent effect, except that the vampire could get through. Then, suddenly, the lid flopped open and the hinges caught, creating a spark, which jumped to the vampire's eye. She gave a terrible shriek and went up in flames, disintegrating where she stood.
The actress collapsed at the head of the stairs in a dead faint, and after that people started to move again, taking care of what needed to be done.
After that there was a section where I was in the woods near my home, and Lucius Malfoy was walking along a path, using a silver branch as a cane (he'd lost his). He was speaking Arabic, because he needed to gain an alliance with the Eastern vampires and he was practicing.
Then, in celebration of the defeat of the vampire, I decided to get a Hebrew phrase tattooed on my leg. The phrase roughly translates to "Hashem protects those who serve Him, and His will is mine." I decided to have my brother do the tattooing because he's somewhat artistic and quite studious, so he'd know the significance of what he was doing. Turned out, though, that he really didn't know about tattooing. Half the quote covered my leg from knee to ankle and the other half was on the other leg, and it was upside down. He put the translation of each half on the back of my legs. I kind of blinked at it, thinking that this was
what I'd paid for, but then I shrugged - that's what knee-socks are for, I guess.
Here's a picture of the gold-faced vampiress after killing the man, if you're interested.

Another long dream, and it's been nearly two months, so no double post.
The coast of Cherek is attacked unexpectedly while the court is out on the lawn. The king is in trade negotiations with the elves and their representative, a half-elf. The queen is right outside the gates when shes shot down by an arrow. The half-elf is the first to reach her side, and she tells him to guard her baby, the princess. He agrees, and the queen dies. The Chereks fight off the attack, but the king is distraught. Raising his daughter falls to the half-elf, who stays at court as her guardian. She grows up. The half-elf remains as her guardian, partly because hes become part of the scenery, always in the background and only half seen. However, since the queen died when the princess was so young, some people dont accept the princess. In her own kingdom she is beloved, but in others she is scorned or shunned.
The king takes her on a trip to another court, her first such visit, and she is excited and naïve. They encounter resistance to having the princess at court. Shes rumored to be a girl-bastard, or a foundling, or worse. Though there are some girls at court who cant imagine anything worse, superficial as they are. The king forces through his daughters acceptance, but gives very close instructions to the half-elf to protect her. The princess and her guardian are really very close, and she doesnt mind spending more time with him. At first shes ostracized and avoided, and it is common to see her alone in a room or garden with the half-elf lurking in a corner or behind a tree to give her privacy. But then the other ladies at court suddenly begin accepting the princess and including her in their social life. They are very solicitous with her, but stop smiling when she wasnt looking. The half-elf notices, but doesnt say anything, because this is only normal court machinations. The king is absently aware of his daughters change in status, but is too busy to really do much. Again, the raising of the princess falls to the half-elf. Girls start noticing the half-elf, trying to draw him out, distract him, lead him away from the princess. He acquiesces a bit but not a lot, nor for long. The girls start going out in groups, taking the princess along without the half-elf. Nothing untoward happens and the half-elf relaxes again. But the girls cant get the princess to forsake the half-elf, nor can they get the guardian to release his charge. Theyre starting to get frustrated.
One day the guardian passes a door and sees the princesss wallet lying open on the table. Its usually in her room. He goes in to investigate. A while later, the king finally steals a moment to take his daughter for a picnic outside the walls. The lack of the half-elf isnt really noticed, since the king is enough protection for his daughter. She has a lovely time, and her father gives her a watch which used to belong to her mother. It supposedly has a function to tell when the something immediately affecting the royal family is wrong. The princess examines it, and sees that one of the numbers is missing. The king examines it and jumps up in alarm. Something is seriously wrong, and it has major implications. They run back to the palace, and eventually find the room with the wallet still on the table. They see a door ajar which is usually closed, and go through. Theyre caught in something though the air is thicker, or time is slower in this room. The half-elf is across the room in a huge pool of blood, dead. Two ladies of the court are there as well, one observing in a corner and one performing some sort of ritual involving incantations and fire and smoke. But the smoke isnt coming from the fire; its coming from the half-elfs body and is flowing into the cauldron hung on a tripod over the flames. The princess screams and begins to cry, running over to fall beside the half-elf. Hes still alive! But only just. His form is withered and shriveled, and old. The spell the court lady witch? is performing is one of extended life, by taking someone elses life-force and distilling it into an addictive potion. That was the smoke they saw, and the half-elfs life-force was struggling against the witch. She practically had to shove the stuff into the cauldron with both hands and it writhed and roiled away from her control. The pair of them interrupted her spell.
The distilled potion becomes clear, and the smoke still in the air rushes back to the half-elf. He coughs weakly and begins to breathe again. The court lady collapses with the release of the spell, now shes old and decrepit. The king explains about the potion, and the princess insists that the half-elf drink all of it she doesnt want him to die, and shes weeping as she holds him. He begins to drink and with every swallow gets younger. After hes drink most of it, he glances over at the witch, whos as old as he was a minute ago. The princess firmly tells him no, she doesnt deserve any of it.
the one who nearly killed him, and deserved no pity. Shes alive isnt she? Thats enough. The half-elf finished drinking. Hes as young as he was when the queen died, and when he stands up its clear that hes much, much taller. His ears are longer, his face more aquiline. Somehow, in drinking that potion, he turned from a half-elf to a full elf. The princess throws herself into his arms, crying for joy now, and the elf catches her. Hes so tall now that she has to jump in order for her arms to go around his shoulders. The king is grateful his daughters guardian is healthy and returned to his full heritage, but knowingly sees that theyre in love with each other and wisely leaves them alone.
In the days that follow the full story comes out. At first they wanted nothing to do with the princess. But then they realized she could power the spell, and began courting her favor to catch her off-guard. She relaxed, but the elf didnt. So they started trying to get him to relax or get distracted, which didnt work as well as theyd hoped. Now they knew why he was in love with the princess, and had eyes only for her. The day he was killed he wasnt actually supposed to be there at all. The wallet had been for a different scheme and the observer had been told to remove it before the elf saw it and discovered them. She had actually been the one supposed to power the spell, but when the elf came in the witch took advantage of the opportunity and used him instead. This triggered the protection spell on the princesss watch. The king began to spend more time with the princess, but the elf was spending
time with her. With his full heritage revealed, there was a lot of paperwork and politicking to do, and the normally taciturn and withdrawn elf was accosted at every corner. Every chance he could he spent with the princess, publicly this time, and the wedding was set to be as soon as they got home. Whenever that was going to be.
The rest of the dream was pretty much a catalogue of what they did day by day. Very sweet and lovely, but boring to write about. The dream sort of trailed off anyway, no firm ending. Kinda like real life, hmm?

Aaron Wayne Guffey, 44, known as "Guff" to his friends, passed away Saturday Sept. 14, 2013, in a local hospital.
He was born Oct. 23, 1968, in Cleveland. He was surrounded by family and friends in his death as he was in his life.
He was preceded in death by his father, Franklin Lee Guffey; and his brother-in-law and best friend, Michael Underwood.
He was a graduate of Bradley Central High School. He started his first job in 1984 at Shoney's of Cleveland, where he met the love of his life and future wife. All of the customers and employees of Shoney's loved him and would come in just to see him because he made them laugh. You always felt good when you spent time with him. He met most of his friends at Shoney's and it was a large part of his life.
The Bentons took him under their wing and he became general manager under their guidance.
He left Shoney's in 2007 to work for a friend in the tree business. He enjoyed this new line of work and was studying to become a certified arborist when he became ill. You knew how much Guff liked you by whether or not you got a nickname. Just ask "Edith," "Casey Kasem," "Homey," "Skill," "Gerald," "Wrinkle," "H. Ross the Boss," "The Columbian," "Tater," "Crooked Back," and the best of all: "Ali Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves."
He loved University of Tennessee football and started going to games in the late '80s, loved deep-sea fishing and playing video games with his buddies, but his favorite thing to do was spend time with family, friends and his nieces and nephews.
He never met a stranger and could always make someone smile. He had a positive attitude and loved to cut up even at the end. Just a few days before he left us he was cracking jokes at one of his best buddies.
His wife and mother extends their sincere appreciation to the SkyRidge SICU for their excellent care and treatment they and Aaron received while he was there.
"We would also like to express appreciation to the friends who were there to help make the transition from this life to his new heavenly home with his savior," they said.
He is survived by his wife of 16 years, Andrea (Dede) Guffey; his mother, Wilma Womack; brothers: Michael and Betty Whaley, and Kelly and Crystal Whaley; sister, Kate Reagan; brother-in-law, Scott Gallaher; nephews: Michael Whaley, Logan King, Nathaneal Reagan and Chase Akins; nieces: Taylor Moore, Macey Hafley, Emma Reagan, Kaylee Melton and Ali Akins; and several aunts, uncles and cousins and numerous friends.
The family will receive friends Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m, the hour of the service, at the North Ocoee Chapel of Jim Rush Funeral Homes. Brad Benton will be officiating.
In lieu of flowers and honoring his two loves, his nieces and nephews and his dogs, it is requested donations be made to St Jude Children's Research Hospital, P.O. Box 1000 Dept. 142, Memphis TN 38148 or to Dixie Day Spay, 182 Airport Road N.W., Cleveland TN 37312.

About MonzterRacing's Garage
My first car
My first car was a 1976 Chevy monza Hatchback. I built it with a 307 bored .030 over with 12.0 - 1 compression, a tunnel ram with two 660 CFM carbs, cast iron ported and polished heads, Proform Roller Rockers, stock rods with polished beams, and a forged steel crankshaft. The ignition was a Mallory dual point distributor with an Accel Super Coil. I used Hooker Super Comp headers with Thrush turbo mufflers. The trans was a Turbo 350 with a B&M 3200 stall convertor and shift kit. The rearend was stock 7.5 with 3.08 gears and 13" 60 series street tires on polished slot mags. The car was black with a gray hood and a snorkel hood scoop. It ran high 12's in the 1/4 mile but I mainly street raced it at the time. It was undefeated for @ 6 month's until I spun a bearing. It then went to a 355 chevy motor with a little less compression, no tunnel ram, and used 2.02 double hump heads and it ran a best of 12.96 in the 1/4 mile.
Car I wish I still had
My 1978 Chevy Monza Hatchback. This car was fast and I raced it both on the track and teh street. It had a best E.T. of 9.83 in the 1/4 mile at Bandemere Speedway in Denver, CO.
My dream car
Finishing my all Chrome Moly tubed chassis Monza Hatchback Super Gas car to a Pro Mod car or Pro Stock type chassis car. I would like to have a Nitromethane blown 468 stroker SB Chevy motor. I would use a 2 speed Powerglide and 4.11 gears. Of course use the proper stall convertor (custom built) and change my ladder bar set up to a four link via Jerry Bickle Race Cars. Then paint it all 2007 Mitsubishi Pearl Burnt Orange with some killer graphics.
Car clubs I'm in
I have a little club called Monzter Racing that is mainly Chevy Monzas, Vegas, and all other H-bodies that I helped build locally. They range from 12 second cars to mid 7 second cars in the 1/4 mile.

- Re: To Have and To Keep - Staying Married with Kid...
I am starting to think that June Cleaver may still have something to teach us. Just go with me here. Have you ever caught yourself talking to your husband like he was another one of the children? Why does the grocery clerk get a warmer smile than my husband?
Don't get your pantyhose out yet. I am talking about small changes here. I am not a stay at home mom. By the time I get home from work I too am tired, distracted and not at all interested in cooking, cleaning or overseeing homework to name a few. Here are a few ideas I had, would love anyone else to share.
I put one load of laundry in the moment I get up in the morning. If you do not have a programmable coffee pot, INVEST. By the time I crawl to the kitchen, coffee is ready. I then, while I am fresh, spend 20 minutes cleaning something. It is well worth the 30 mins of lost sleep to get up and accomplish something before the rest of the house is awake. This of course cuts into my check e-mail, Facebook and blog time. Well worth it to accomplish tasks while I am fresh instead of being met at the door with them after 5.
My husband has started to notice that the house is cleaner and I am less harried in the evenings. This has impacted for the better how I treat him at night and he is more helpful when I am not grumpy.
I am continuing to tweek things, will keep you posted.
I like your idea to get up 20 to 30 minutes before everyone else so you have some me time - even if that me time is used to throw in a load of laundry or write out your grocery list.
My husband will often take our daughter somewhere for a couple of hours Saturday morning. In the summer it's usually to the farmer's market, and in the fall it may be to the park or to the indoor play area at the mall. While they're gone I have the house to myself and two to three hours of uninterrupted time to pay bills, clean the bathroom, catch up on e-mail, or go get a manicure. Whatever I want/need to do that weekend without worrying that I'm not spending enough time with the family because I know Emmy is having some good daddy/daughter bonding time.
Let us know if you make any other tweaks that help keep you less stressed!
Ok, I got a reply from a post of a different forum. Thought this was worth sharing....
"I set the timer for 30 minutes and sit the girls at their table and chairs. Out come the "special markers" (the ones that only color on paper). They are allowed to sit and color with the special markers while I get some things accomplished around the house. If they do not color nicely and get along the markers go away for a week and they have to "assist" with chores."
This is the same gal that plans a picnic "dinner" in the backyard as a break from the norm.
Have a good week!
Great idea to get up a bit earlier! I work full time outside the home and thus am not in the mood when I get home to begin another full time job. I Do not get to sleep in, go a day without laundry, dishes and toy clean up. We have two dogs which are there own seperate issue! Our daughter is 14 months old and we have been married for 16 months....While I find it truely frustrating that it is assumed this second full time job falls in my lap I really don't know that I could handle it any other way. I take comfort in knowing they are taken care of! The trick I guess, is how to ensure I am taking care of myself?!?
I too have had this issue and I've been married for 9 years (7 of those with kids). I know how frustrating this can be; coming home to take care of your child/kids and tackling chores. There is "no day off" or "time for yourself' even though your husband seems to find time to relax or do the things he likes. I've been home with my kids for the past 4 years and despite "having time" I still need help with chores, laundry, cooking and just watching the kids. I was multitasking one Saturday and my husband was in the den watching a football game. I was trying to clean the kitchen, get started on an early dinner, flipping the laundry and keep on eye on the kids while they were outside riding the bikes. I realize my husband works very long shifts and arrives home exhausted. But I approached him like this (without blowing my stack): If I was working outside of the home, who would be upstairs cleaning the kitchen, getting started on dinner, trying to keep the laundry going and keeping an eye on the kids? . . . . . I know your exhausted, but realize just because I have the opportunity to stay home, doesn't mean I can do it all. You're right here next to the laundry room and each time I have to come downstairs, that's put me further away from being able to keep an eye on the kids. Realize, THERE IS NO BREAK. You still need to help. I can't have an argument over this because I'm stating the obvious. I think it turned on a light because my husband acknowledged I can't be in multiple places at once, and more importantly, no one was watching the kids. As one mom to another, I would recommend you jot down on a board, what needs to be done as it pops up. The hubs will see and maybe get to it without having to be asked. I know there is a lot that shouldn't have to be said, but I've learned and taken the advice from another married friend, "they don't think like we do. Just write it down for them to see." Good luck!

Whenever we want mashed potatoes, we think about substituting curried cauliflower. It has the volume, look, and taste without the added fat that people can't resist. Serves 4.
- 1 medium cauliflower, about 6-inch diameter
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, fat-free
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- Cut cauliflower into small pieces.
- In a steamer basket, cook cauliflower over boiling water until a knife easily pierces the stems, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
- Place hot cooked cauliflower and remaining ingredients in a food processor and process to the texture of mashed potatoes. Serve warm.
Per Serving: 71 calories, 6 gm protein, 9 gm carbohydrate, 2 gm fat, 1 gm sat fat, 1 gm mono fat, 5 mg cholesterol, 4 gm fiber, 357 mg sodium
THE SEASONED COOK You can use this basic dressing over other vegetable combinations, too. The microwave process cuts down on the oven roasting time and keeps the vegetables moist. Cauliflower is rich in vitamin C, beta carotene, and folic acid.

Fall 2012 Writing Competition Literary Gems
We received many powerful essays. Though not every participant can win the contest, we'd like to share some excerpts that caught our eye.
I will have a bay window that I can put small plants in as a greenhouse. The big plants will hang from the rafters. I won't need to make a lot of money because living in this tiny house will be cheap. I will avoid stuff I don't need like a lot of dressy clothes, power-sucking appliances like a microwave or refrigerator and a full-time job.
—Rain Morrell, grade 6, Kickapoo Homeschool Group, Ontario, Wisconsin
Have you ever needed to go to the restroom on an airplane? I love those toilets. If I could, I would install those in my house. They don't even have that much water! I could even use the waste as compost for my garden!
—Tyler Nguyen, grade 6, Catlin Gabel School, Portland, Ore., who would choose to live in a big, old airplane
I've lived in a few homes in my lifetime, all of which were not the most lavish, but they were my homes. Thinking about this sparked something in me that made me realize that the size of your home doesn't matter, but sharing it with the people you love creates all the difference.
—Neisha Freshley, grade 11, New Tech Academy at Wayne High School, Fort Wayne, IN
I refuse to separate art from myself, and incorporating it into my home would give me the opportunity to delve further into my work. With any luck, this set up would lead my friends and me into many late-night weekend discussions of our pieces of all media. I cannot imagine a happier life than one filled with good art and good people.
—Cokie Thompson, grade 11, Houston High, Germantown, TN
This low-level lighting system can create romantic vibes when I have a date to when I'm just laying on my couch thinking. The brightness contrast can have a major impact on people's thoughts.
—Nick Tabakis, Sacramento City College, Elk Grove, CA
Unlike Dee Williams, I would not like to build a new house. My house should be able to tell stories, it should have a history. Every time I would enter my house, new thoughts about former occupants, about the daily routine they experienced there, would rise up in my mind. Of course, the house should not be shabby, but every hole in the wall, for instance, will remind me that there were generations living there before me, and that there will also be some after me.
—Melanie Burger, Pädagogische Hochschule Heidelberg, University of Education, Heidelberg, Deutschland

On February 12 the Bulldogs scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and posted a 4-3 win over the Flames. Lee returned the favor on March 27, rising up from a 3-0 deficit going into the top of the eighth to top the ninth-ranked Bulldogs in a 10-inning thriller, by the same 4-3 margin.
Wesleyan had ridden a double, single and two-RBI afternoon by Branden Walker to grab a 3-0 lead heading into the eighth. Lefty Brent Adheen had given the Lee hitters plenty of problems with his off-speed pitches for 5 2/3 innings. He got into a jam in the sixth, but Justin Sprenger came out of the bullpen to end the rally.
The Flames were on the ropes and it appeared TWC would land another knockout punch when Derrick Pitts stepped to the dish with two outs and doubled to deep right in the eighth. Junior Cameron Brewster was called on to pinch hit and the left-handed hitter delivered in a big way, drilling a long drive over the right-field fence and cutting the margin to 3-2.
Coach Mark Brew hit the nail right on the head when he said, "Brewster's swing of the bat was huge momentum shift for us."
In the ninth the Flames struck again to tie the battle at 3. With two outs, Danny Canela ripped a solid single to right. Trevor Burgess, who can on to run for Canela, reached second when Corey Davis walked. Karsten Strieby stroked a looping single to left that scored Burgess and tied the contest.
The tense affair carried into extra innings before the Flames could strike the winning blow in the 10th. Chris Avey reached on a perfect bunt single down the third base line. "Avey's bunt set the stage to complete the comeback," said Brew, whose Flames had been voted No. 1 by the NAIA just one day earlier.
Mark Silva followed with a bunt that was misplayed by the TWC pitcher. Brady Renner did his job by moving Avey to third and Silva to second as Lee played small ball. Josh Silver popped out and with two outs and Canela received an intentional walk. With the bases loaded, Davis worked the count to 3-2 before drawing a free pass and pushing Avey across the plate with what turned out to be the winning run.
"They pitched us well early and we stranded a ton of runners (16), but we kept battling," commented Brew. "We showed a lot of character, bouncing back against a really good TWC team. It's always a tough place to win and it was a great comeback for our team."
Pitching again proved to be a key factor in Lee's 27th win of the year against seven defeats. Keegan Yuhl started and gave his team 5 2/3 innings of eight-hit ball. He fanned eight and walked four. Jeremy Stawychny came on for 1 1/3 inning and allowed one hit. However, it was the flame-throwing Andy Hillis who had the crowd buzzing as the big right-hander chalked up his second win with three innings of hitless ball.
Hillis faced nine Bulldog hitters and struck out seven. "It was a great team win for us,' noted Brew. "Our bullpen was huge as Stawychny and Hillis gave us the opportunity to climb back in it.'
Silva and Avey had a double and single to pace the Lee 12-hit attack. Canela and Strieby also collected a pair of hits. TWC posted nine hits with David Donald joining Walker with a double and single. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 25-10.

For the global accountancy body, the fact that at present only three per cent of chief executives in the largest European companies are women underlines that companies are not drawing from the full pool of skills available.
However, while some countries have achieved increases by resorting to legal quotas, a 'one size fits all' for Europe cannot work given the specificities of each EU member states. A more sustainable approach based on subsidiarity, involving encouragement rather than rigid rules is the better option. The UK experience shows for example that improvements in the comply or explain-based corporate governance code has already led to a significant increase in the number of women directors appointed to listed companies.
John Davies explains: 'We support the goal of increasing the number of women on company boards, but this aim must be pursued for the right reasons, namely to enhance the ability of company boards to make sound business decisions on behalf of their stakeholders. Given the limited influence that shareholder bodies generally tend to have with company boards, it is appropriate there be some authoritative encouragement issued to companies to recognise the potential business and governance benefits of appointing more female board members. We would agree that, without some measure of this kind, the desired improvements are not likely to materialise. However, any new encouragement should avoid imposing rigid requirements, either legal or regulatory, which could have the effect of undermining the ability of boards to assemble a group of people of complementary skills and experience.
'Ultimately, the issue of women directors should be addressed in a wider context of enhancing board diversity more generally, one which encourages companies to consider the potential business and governance benefits of recruiting directors from all and any backgrounds and of achieving a sustainable balance of skills, experience and perspectives' John Davies adds.
John Davies continues: 'We believe that if action has to be taken at EU level, it should take the form of a recommendation to member states, rather than binding EU legislation. This would leave member states free to decide what is the best mechanism to pursue the aim of increasing the number of women on boards and how national regulatory intervention should be framed. Of course, these mechanisms should be accompanied by a requirement for companies to report to their shareholders on their progress in achieving a 'balanced' board and backed up by active monitoring by investor groups and market authorities, and governments should keep the matter under review.'
Another point that should be addressed in any future regulatory initiative is the representation of women in senior management positions below board level. ACCA believes companies should be encouraged to give express consideration to this matter and to take action to respond to any internal gender imbalance that may exist.
'The issue of gender imbalance on boards cannot be addressed solely by setting targets for external appointments, there must also be a commitment on the part of companies to develop talent in-house, and to resolve any structural obstacles to female career advancement. In light of this, ACCA is looking forward to participate in the new European Commission initiative called 'Equality pays off – supporting companies across Europe to successfully master future challenges', whose goal is to highlight the business case for better tapping the labour force potential of women and support companies in successfully accessing this potential and winning top talent,' John Davies concludes.
