Coffee and Ink: "I put them on MySpace." "Oh, you were in space!?"

It took a lot for me to post today. This has not been an easy Thursday. It’s one of those days that makes me hate people. But I don’t want to talk about it.

SO! I’ve decided I want a tiger for Christmas. You know, something cuddly :)

I mean I’ve got Cider, but sometimes she is just not in the mood to cuddle. For some reason I just assume tigers are up for cuddling 24/7.

Saw this today. Made me laugh.

Something weird about me: I don’t really like dreams. Mine aren’t the funnest. Yes, I did just use that word. I prefer my sleep to just be without words, without pictures, just black. I wonder if the music I listen to when I sleep has any impact on my dreams or not. Hmm.

Another reason I don’t like dreams is that the good ones I have end up being too good to be true and when I wake, I’m often disappointed. So then the good dreams basically become nightmares. Then when I have real nightmares, I wake up and am usually quite happy my life isn’t like what was in the nightmare. SO I basically don’t like dreams, and I’m grateful for nightmares. Weird, eh?

So I had this dream last night. In the dream, I had to make Paris Hilton’s dog, Trixie, margaritas. Not small ones, mind, tall ones, because “Trixie’s that kind of dog!”

Then I woke up. Or at least, I thought I did. I looked at my phone and my friend Shane, who I haven’t talked to recently, sent me 7 texts that said I needed to talk to him, it was an emergency. Then as I’m trying to text him back, I fall back asleep. Or so I think. I think I wake up again, but Shane’s texts are gone. Instead, there are texts from ‘Polar Bear’ waiting for me. THEN…then, I really wake up. Yeah, all of that was a dream. It was like flippin’ Inception! I was kind of afraid to look at my phone, though, I didn’t know what was real, and what did or didn’t happen. Fortunately, there were no new texts, and the last one I received was the last one I remembered receiving. Phew.

I’m still wondering: who the hell was Polar Bear?!

I bought my bus ticket today. That was annoying. Tried purchasing the ticket on site #1, which said at the end, I couldn’t, and gave me phone number A. Phone number A gave me phone number B. Which gave me website #2. Which gave me phone number C which directed me to website #3, then #4. Quite the, um, adventure. Just think, I’ll get to do it again for my return ticket. Wooo!

I haven’t really done anything today. Just sat around. I’m okay with that.

My mom had to work at 3 today, and while she was getting ready, she left her Young and the Restless on or some other soapy opera. I was so bored watching it, but thank goodness those shows have lots of music in them, so that way when the show goes to a commercial break RIGHT after the ominous music that came after the huge revelation that the blonde prego chick’s mom switched the phones, not the blonde prego chick, and the mom was responsible for trying to break up blonde prego chick’s boyfriend and his mistress but the show made blonde prego chick’s mom look like the bad guy, which is SO STUPID cause the boyfriend is cheating on his baby’s momma for his exgirlfriend…the music reminded me that it was bad and the mom was being sneaky. Thank goodness the music reminded me how to feel!

After the frustration of the show, I turned to my computer and found this song that makes me just want to do slow ballet and sing simultaneously. I had to wait for my mom to leave which felt like forever. Then I did ballet in the kitchen :)

Wish I looked this graceful…

Short-ish post today. Hmpf.

I plan on watching Across the Universe again tonight. I’ll get work done, I know that. Plus I can either sketch or write during the movie, there’s inspiration everywhere. Plus, I love the scene with Mr. Kite. What’s not to love about Eddie Izzard in a top hat and yellow gloves?!
