the residential school and the cane

A few evenings ago, I dreamt that I went to a residential school that my parent's Jehovah witness friend, Anita, was the headmistress. She was really controlling of me, and I hated everything while I was there. They tried to tell me that I couldn't celebrate my birthday, Christmas or Halloween, and I was so pissed off, because no one else was Catholic. I kept making my stay at the school really difficult with the teachers, because I was so unhappy, but I don';t remember what I was doing. I remember Anita walking with me somewhere, and she told me that it would be better off for me to just run away, rather than continue being such a hindrance to the school. I felt bad for her, even though she was being such a bitch to me, because she had a cane to walk with.

vonda and the tick

Last night I dreamt that I went back in time to grade eight, but I went with Solange, who I did know at the time in everday life, but I did not talk to yet. I went to school with her in Vonda, and everyone from Vonda from our school now went there, and they were all so little, especially James. The school was so welcoming, and they even had me on role call, which made me very happy. Then we went on a tour of the school, and while we were in the playground, which was actually a big field behind the school, I saw Solange's little brother, and I talked to him for a bit about the school. Then there was a big fat tick sitting on a blade of grass, and it jumped onto my leg, but I was able to get it off me before it tried to attach itself, and I was pretty disgusted with it.

camille and her ice cream sandwich

Camille and I were in the living room, sitting on a mattress where the rug should be. Lenore came in and and startedhaving a pillow fight with Julie on the couch. She picked up a blanket, and then threw it on Camille's head, and then attacked her, and started wrestling with her, but Camille was loving the whole thing. Then Lenore left, and Matthew came and sat down on the couch, with a box of Dairy Queen ice cream sandwiches. I didn't want one, because Camille and I had just had chocolate cake, but Camille wanted one so bad, so she ate this big one that melted all over the couch.

my gardening gramma and i

My gramma and I were about to plant her garden out at her farm, and she was going through different plant bulbs and throwing away the bad ones. She had a bowl of leftover bulbs, and she told me that I could keep them, so I went and planted them beside the white and blue garage beside her house.

the wild bulls and a grey coat

I was at Solange's farm, and her mom, Solange and I were going into different fields trying to catch some bulls that needed to be tamed. Solange was wearing her really cool gray jacket with the plaid on the inside of the hood that she thinks is too long, and her mom was wearing some really tall rubber boots. The bulls had curly horns, and a mask made out of the same stuff as the horns,making them look crazy and dirty. We had spears to throw at the animals to try and break the mask off their faces, but it wasn't working very well, because everytime I threw a spear at it, it would shatter the spear. Then, we jumped up onto some hay bales, because the bulls all ran towards us, trying to hurt us, and Solange's mom was in the background screaming, but we were happy.

ruby's little brother with the fat head

Three nights ago, I dreamt that I went swimming with Ruby and her mom, Mary-Jane. Mary-Jane was pregnant and Ruby was really excited about it. Then, all of a sudden, Ruby's mom also had a two or three year old boy. He was clinging onto Mary-Jane for dear life, even though he was wearing striped water wings. Ruby told me he couldn't swim because his head was so big that it would weigh him down, and he'd sink and drown.

the skinny water bottles and TTD's

Julie and I had a soccer tournament somewhere in the Unites States, and Matthew, Annette, Mom, Dad, Lenore, Julie and I were driving there. Annette, Lenore and I got dropped off by a car repair business, and we kept seeing shady characters walking around. This one old man had a white beard, a green trench coat, and he was carrying one of those giant party subs, but you could tell he had already eaten a lot of it. He went into an adult video store, and Annette and I started being all immature and laughing at that. Another man came walking towards us, but he was young this time. He had big sunglasses and a water canteen around his neck, he turned the corner and we never saw him again.
Dad picked us up, because Julie and I had a soccer game to go to, and we needed to buy water, because their wasn't running water in any of the hotels, mainly for the reason that Americans didn't drink water except when they were sick.
We went into this little beverage store, where they sold water only in long, skinny bottles, and they were really expensive. I left the store, and found out later that my dad had taken some doodles, I had drawn in the hotel, and did this thing called T.T.D., which I kept getting confused with S.T.D. For T.T.D., you take a piece of art, and invest money into it, so it's eventually worth a lot of money, and rich art people collect it because they think its worth a lot, so the artist gets a bunch of money for it later. He told me he invested $850 into this one crappy picture of a diner, and then $46 000 into this picture of a bench infront of a window! I said, "DAD! Why would you spend so much money on that??" He said, " I thought you'd like it! Why would you let me invest so much money into it?"

the zombies and a shotgun

The entire world just found out that every person who had died recently would be turning into zombies, so all the living would have to re-kill those who were once dead. I remember looking out the front door and seeing zombies limp down the street, holding a shotgun in my hand.

two deaths and a home video

Last night, I dreamt that I was having sloppy joes at Sarah's house. Then, all of a sudden, we found out that her brother, Josh, was gone. He had disappeared. We came to the conclusion that he was dead. Sarah's mom was in complete shock, and I remember, being in the kitchen, which was huge and dark green, and her mom was just telling me stories about when he was young. I had no idea how to react. Then I watched home videos, in a room with tan carpets, with her dad from when Josh was just a little boy, and he was playing in the backyard. Then I realized that more than half of her family was not at home, and no one knew where they were. Sarah was looking at photo albums, and for some reason, I was just hanging out with her dad. Then, Dave came home, and he started freaking out because when he heard about Josh, which was understandable. Dave was so shocked by it, that he died too! I felt so bad for their family because it was falling apart. We went to a swimming pool with very blue water to meet the rest of her family, and I don't get why I didn't go home.

the soap bars and the mold

I was having a shower, and then I looked on the shelves and there were so many bars of soap that they were pouring off the shelves. Blue ones, green ones, white ones, Dove, Irish Spring, No Name. I didn't like the looks of any of them, except this tiny pink sliver of Dove, but when i picked it up, there was black mold on it and i let it wash down the drain.

the broken mirrors and classical guitars

Matthew and I were in a house that was like the annex Anne Frank stayed in, and we were trying to find a series of classical guitars, like it was a video game. We were video taping the whole experience and we were both wearing brown clothing and black toques. Each new door we came to had a glass mirror on it, and there was a security camera in it, so I got to karate kick each mirror out, so the bad guys couldn't find us. In each room, we'd find a new classical guitar, but they somehow got really tiny as soon as we grabbed them, so it we could carry them. Then, Matthew told me to hide, because we could hear someone coming, and I hid behind the hot water heater.

the green mini van and the white polar bear

I went on a family trip to Wyoming, I believe, with my parents, Matt and Julie. We drove there in a green mini-van. When we reached Wyoming, we stopped at a place that had a hotel, restaraunt and gas station all in one. All these places should have been separate, but for some reason, they were in one huge room, together. We parked our van beside the gas pump, and Matt and Julie and I decided to go explore. We found out that our hotel bed was right beside the gas pump. We were in big white room, with many other families in it, and it reminded me of the service station in Grease where they do the whole scene for "Grease-Lightening!". We walked back to our van, to see a stuffed white, polar bear beside it. After looking around, we noticed every family had one too! We climbed on top, and mom and dad took a wicked photo of us, because it looked like the bear was running.

the gold medal of wrestling and randi's heart ;)

Last night there was a big wrestling tournament going on at our school in the gym, and Katie told me that there was no one in her weight catergory, so she would automatically get gold. I was excited for her. Then, on the day of the tournament, SIXTEEN other girls in her weight catergory showed up, and she had to wrestle them all. Because she's amazing, she beat them all, and got gold anyways! Mike won gold too, and he got so much confidence that he asked out Randi, and they've been going out since.

p.s. Today has only happened four times in my lifetime!

one hundred and five dollars and a doorbell

The doorbell was ringing a lot, and when i finally answered the door, there was my dad's friend in woman's clothing standing on the front step, and he sayed to me, "Here you go, give this to your parent's, or you could always just keep it for yourself," and then he winked at me. I closed the door and gasped as I looked at the wad of $105 dollars sitting in my hand. Then he rang the doorbell again. I opened the door, and I said THANK YOU, as he took off his coat. "I've been wearing my wife's clothes since we got back from Texas," he said. "It's because all my clothes were ruined in the water damage at our house." "Those clothes look very nice on you," I said.

the fish and the thrift store

I lived in this old timey house over-looking a huge lake, with my entire family, even my nieces and nephews and in-laws. There was a wood burning furnace and the house resembled Aunt Jospehine's house in A Series of Unfortunate Events, except sturdier. We made a huge meal, and we were eating it, but something was wrong, I didn't know what was wrong, but I knew something was up. Then we were outside on the deck, watching these huge fish that we could ride inside. There were good fish and bad fish. Then, everyone who was living on the lake was riding in these fish, and you have to go inside their mouths. Half of my family was in one fish, who was actually bad, and tried to eat the people, and I was in the good fish with the other half of my family. We were all screaming because we didn't want them to be eaten by a giant, angry fish. Then, all of a sudden, I was in the second-hand store in my neighbourhood, looking at t-shirts.

Michael Jackson, my step brother.

There was a secret scandal that occured two nights ago in my dreams. My mother had been a teenager when Joe Jackson had asked her to babysit for her. While she was babysitting, he took advantage of her. My mother became pregnant with his child, and hid it well, as she stayed on the farm to work. When the child was born, she gave the new born baby boy to Joe, and he was named Michael Jackson. My mother never spoke of him.
So, I was watching television, when there was a show about Michael Jackson, and how he never knew his real mother. I looked back to see my own mother, weeping. I asked her what was the matter, and she told me the story of when she was my age, and what had happened. I couldn't even imagine that happening, let alone to my mother!
It was arranged for my mom to meet with Michael Jackson on Oprah, where they would be reunited. I was watching the episode of Oprah, and suddenly my mom was frail, and she was accompanied by my Home Economics teacher, who was supporting her. Both of them, along with Michael, were crying. I watched this all happening, and the only thought going across my mind was THAT'S why Michael Jackson's skin is so white!

gillian and the french elephant

I was interning with my sister's grade eight classroom with Sufjan Stevens. I told Sufjan about the girls in the other class that "pleasure themselves" and how we thought it was disgusting. I didn't want to tell my sister about it though, because she teaches these girls, and I didn't want her to feel like she was doing a bad job or soemthing. So we continued on with the day, when all of a sudden it was almost hometime. I climbed up into this tree house, which was in the corner of the classroom, that smelled like pine and sour pineapples. There was a pet lion, a monkey and a grizzly bear, and they were just chillin in the corner. I soon found out that my sister was reading the class a story, I think it was Jungle Book, but I'm not too sure. I drew a picture of an elephant and wrote underneath it j'aime des éléphants, then I gave it to Solange, and she said, " Don't give it to me, Gillian's not going to be happy, she'll be so jealous because you know how much she loves elephants and french." "No, it's ok, I gave her an e-card that has elephants on it. It'll be fine," I said.
Of course Gillian saw the elephant I painted, and she said, "No, it's ok! I LOVE e-cards!" Even though I could hear the disappointment in her voice.
