job?

today i thought i would fill out an online application to work at AAA, but decided against it because i don't feel like working amongst the middle-aged.

weird

yesterday i was watching a design show while coming down off of novocane. the so-called design "experts" were attempting to de-clutter this punk's room, but included in the "discard" pile was his 3-foot-tall, green hookah. needless to say he objected to such blasphemy, grabbed it off of the yard sale table and rode off down the street on his skateboard.

that would have been the greatest yard sale purchase ever in history.

last night i had a dream that i was in a mormon community. a polygamous community. i was visiting a friend there, i think, but i was there at a bad time because they were having some kind of secret religious weekend, and because i wasn't mormon it was awkward. so, i brought with me a turkey sandwich and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that i had prepared before my trip, and tagged along anyway. one of the ceremonies/lectures was at the colosseum, which happened to fall inside the boundaries of their mormon community...it had travelled all the way from rome...? the speaker was a gladiator on a horse, and while he was talking to the crowd seated in the dust before him, i was crabwalking through the seated mormon teenagers, trying to find a spot in the shade. in the process i found a heavy silver coin in the dirt. i showed it to one of the people seated next to me, but she said that they toss those out to the audience after every mormon gladiator fight. i didn't care if it was insignificant, i pocketed it, anyway. as i was watching the gladiator speaking to the crowd, i turned to my right to see joe sitting under a tree with some dude. weird. after the talk was over, i was walking through a path in the woods with a very handsome black man who i suspect had seduced me because he was holding my hand quite fervently, showing me where he and his family used to live. it was quite a lovely house along the path, clumped together with a few other rather large dwellings. i told him i like his old house and he said he did, too, and that a lot of the houses in this mormon community looked like that. i then contemplated becoming mormon, but decided against it in my head. the guy then ran off to see his mother(s) and little brother(s), and i was left alone temporarily. i made my way to an all-female teenage communal dorm-like building and was in a room filled with teenage girls, all of whom were preparing for some special, extra-secret ritual at sundown. i suspect they were receiving/being assigned husbands and, thus, i was not allowed to attend under any circumstances. i conceeded and they wandered in a pack down the dirt road all dressed in their floral-print, lace-necked dresses, circa. 1984, complete with hair to match. i think they also had glow-sticks. a nice modern touch. i was left alone in the lobby of the dormatory, in the dark. i don't think they had electricity. the dorm "mother" was there with me and we spoke of where i would sleep for the night. i knew she was supposed to be at the uber-secret ceremony that night with all of her girls, but she said to me, "well you can stay here, of course. i was supposed to go shopping tonight, but i will stay here with you, instead." i had a feeling in my stomach that she was incredibly evil, and i felt uneasy. before all the girls left, though, she had shown me to a scantily furnished room with an exposed light bulb and a tiny black-and-white television. i went to that room after she told me she would stay home for the night, where i proceeded to have a few bites of my turkey sandwich, contemplating what to do next. i went back down to the lobby and sat in a rocking chair in the dark. the woman was in the bathroom and i didn't want her to see me because she was evil and also because i didn't want to talk to her, so i pretended to be asleep with my head facing the bathroom so i could see if she was coming. there was only the glow from the slightly open bathroom door to light the living room, making it rather an eerie setting to be alone with a creepily evil, middle-aged, mormon woman. i saw the outline of her shadow approaching the bathroom door so i knew she was coming out, and i closed my eyes.
that was the end of my dream.

my new blog

i finally decided to start a blog. we'll see if i follow through and actually write in it. we'll also see if people actually read it.
