What do my dreams say about me?

I had an especially vivid dream last night. I woke up a bit disturbed this morning because I was concerned about what my unconcious might be trying to tell me. I never put much stock into dreams, but when I have dreams this vivid, it tends to make me at least temporarily reevaluate my stance on their meanings.

The dream has faded since this morning, and I'm not sure how some of the sections intersect; however, there are specific parts that are still right with me. I was at a hotel for some kind of gathering. I'm not sure what it was a gathering of, but there were many people there (a majority of whom I knew from various places including high school, college, and work). It was all fine until there was some kind of fire drill type thing in which I freaked out and somehow managed to get shot by the people policing the drill (because I was freaking out). I was shot by some kind of gun that shot poison type darts in a star pattern, and was hit on the arm. Immediately, blisters formed at all of the entrance wounds. I chose to ignore them.

Then, afterwards, when everyone had regrouped in some kind of conference hall area in the hotel, I had a horribly vivid, tramatizing experience (which I'd rather not divulge in this blog) that caused the blisters on my arm to start to eat my skin and it was bleeding like crazy and falling off my arm.

I was rushed to the infirmary area where the forensic scientist, Abby (from NCIS), treated my wounds. Everytime I looked at my arm, I puked because it was so disgusting. Abby ended up having to cut much of my arm off, and I ended up in a heap of tears bawling on the floor.

I think this dream was telling me that I'm too stressed out to live, and that I should probably get more sleep. I am choosing not to listen to it, but I can't seem to let go of the images. The images are more than a little painful.

I'm feeling a bit sick. I'm going to try to sleep now. Hopefully, I will only have nice dreams tonight. I can't deal with these crazy ones anymore.

In the spirit of the holidays...

I love love love this Santa Claus family tree. I found it on Cryptomundo via Boingboing and it cracks me up... I just about said "craps me up." That would have cracked me up too, but I'm glad I caught the mistake.

Edit: Dashblog doesn't work exactly as I had wished.

why must we pay...

I really don't understand why we have to pay sixty dollars to hold our classes. Never have. Either you show up or you don't. I mean don't get me wrong. I do understand. I'm just annoyed that I have to stand in this freaking line because I don't even know if I actually have to pay the sixty dollar fee or not. Being a graduate assistant makes things confusing. It's good but I don't always know what I'm supposed to be doing at all times. I'm gettng close.

Rain, rain, go away...

I really hate it when the weather interferes with my plans. I was
going to have a fun ridecthrough the woods today, but now I don't see
that happening. It just keeps raining harder and harder it's really
annoying actually. If I'd come out here when I had wanted this morning
I wouldn't be having this problem. I keep watching the clouds thinking
that they will move through but they just seem to get bigger and more
rainy. I guess I'll wait a few more minutes and then head home. What
else can I do? It's too cold to ride in the rain. If it were summer
I'd be all for it. It's not summer and cold is fine, but cold And wet
is not fine. Not with me anyway. What's even more stupid is that I can
see blue sky peeking through the clouds above me. It's up there
taunting me. Saying, "Hee Hee, look at me!" Stupid rain. Stupid stupid
rain.

Projects...

I always have these little projects going. They keep me sane or
something. Actually, I'm not feeling very sane right now, but I do
have a good number of projects in the works. Maybe the projects are a
measure of my sanity...

Anyway, one of my projects has to do with this photo. Cross your
fingers that I have time to do it and that it works out as brilliantly
as I hope it does. Also, cross your fingers that the photo posts. I'm
betting it doesn't. If there's no picture with this entry... I'll fix
it tomorrow.

Update!

I should really start updating my blog more often, and I hate that I'm
one of those people who talk about how they haven't posted anything on
their blog on their blog. Yep, that's me. Lame again.

However, I will give you a more proper update as well. First of all, I
decided (against my better judgement) to create a twitter account (I
really don't understand twitted, so we'll see how long it lasts) that
you can follow right here on my blog. It's right over there on the
sidebar that happens to be filled with many other wonderful things.

Second, I will updated for reals sometime in the near future. It will
be good. I promise.

Now, I must go in search of food. I'm famished.

Hey! Look what I found!

It's this cool website that searches mp3s online. It finds all kinds of obscure stuff. It seems really good so far.
