The Dream Thread

That actually sounds like a really compelling story for a novel. :x

I actually just woke up from a really bizarre dream.  I somehow was transported to the past and was part of a freedom fighters/protesters group under what was an Apartheid like group.  We commandeered a bus and had snuck into a facility of their's and were sabotaging the place.  And then we found a hot dog stand in it and I woke up.  ._____.

I had a pretty neat dream... Well, at different points.  Like most dreams, random unrelated things happened that I barely remember (like swimming in the ocean and trying not to scrape my knees on sharp pointy rocks), but this was the neat part:

I was part of some sort of La Blogotheque Take Away Concert type of project, where I was with a big group of other people all playing different instruments while we are all standing pretty much in the middle of a road in a small town that was somewhere by the coast (which coast, I do not know).

I blew into a gigantic conch shell that somehow made these flute noises whenever I blew into it.

Near the end of the dream, I was trying to watch the video online but was having troubles loading the whole thing.  Then I woke up.

I had a nightmare for the first time in a long time.
I was walking with my cousin in the dead of night (we're really close, she's like a sister to me), it was as shit out, like under a new moon or something, we're very lost and don't know where we are.
From what I can make out in the dark, we are near a coastline about 1/4 of a mile surrounded by rolling hills covered in walkable terrain with short, soft grass and not much else besides a lighthouse. We decide there might be a caretaker or someone there since some lights are on.
After walking awhile, we get there and look around, it's open and there's no one there. Apparently we guess it's some historical site. We walk out onto the balcony and there appears to be some black shape moving about 100 yards from the building. I'm wearing a white shirt in this dream so my cousin tells me to go out and contact whatever it is and ask for directions because I'll be more visible in the night.
I walk outside the lighthouse and run towards it yelling "Hey! Over here!!!" once I'm within maybe 30 yards of the thing it turns toward me and all I see are these beady eyes and I'm like "HOLY SHIT", I'm standing there rather scared and I start walking towards it (I have no clue why), it starts by running away from me and then turns around and lunges toward me... it's a huge wolf.
My cousin is up on the balcony of the lighthouse screaming while I'm getting mauled down below. Then I woke up x3.

Just woke up from a dream where I was at like a party with people I don't know except inexplicably tina is there (hilariously dressed like a lumberjack, with Clyde's beard) and we're just chilling with these people and lo and behold it's Aleks from Los Campesinos and some other person, and NO ONE realizes it until one of their songs come on TV (which is equally inexplicable).  I wish I could say I was cool about it, but I was like a little girl about the whole thing and so was tina and then I just woke up.

Haha, Kezia I am 21 and still haven't "dated/kissed/whateverthefuck."  It's not like people will ask that sort of thing and if they do, they wont really care that much if I told them I never did any of that.

I'd expand on this but I gotta go.

[Fluffy Cocaine]

how is the average person going to react to a 19 year old who has never dated/kissed/whateverthefuck

It's hard to say and impossible to generalize. Everyone's looking for something different and everyone has their own sets of things that they care about when they're seeking someone. Some people may prefer non-virgins with experience, others may prefer virgins without experience (our society makes it look like it's so, but not everyone in college has had sex), and others (I'd think most) won't care at all. This isn't the kind of thing where you can say "people think x" because there are so many different kinds of people.

Kezia, I have probably already said this before, and I seriously doubt you'll believe me, but I think you're horribly wrong about dating. You seem to think that dating is some sort of government-regulated activity with laws dictating when you do it, how you do it, and what you do when you're doing it. It's not like that at all. It's a personal choice. If you wanted to look for someone to depend on, you could do that. Since you don't, you don't have to. You can do something more casual. You can go for a night out with someone and then never see them again. You can not do it at all if you don't want to and keep every relationship you have at a friendship level. It's completely up to you, and I really don't think people anywhere, at or outside of college, are going to say "man, I'd love to be friends with Kezia because she's a really nice girl but I just can't be friends with anyone who doesn't want a significant other."

If you really don't want to have any sort of even watered-down romantic contact with anyone for the foreseeable future, that's your choice. But the frequency with which you talk about it and the way that you talk about implies to me that that isn't what you want. You're just afraid of dating because of the way that you see it. When you say "dating is fucking retarded," you're only describing one kind of dating. Yeah, it's the most common one, but it doesn't mean that a more casual way isn't doable.

Eh I was really cranky when I wrote that, I wouldn't take it too seriously despite the lengthy rambling. Hopefully I didn't offend too much.

I guess I'm just irritated because the older I get the more often people ask me "ololol do you have a boyfriend?" and I've had people (high school students, but people nonetheless) ridicule me for never dating in the past.

There's nothing wrong with being single in college.  Actually I've had a WAY better time being single in college than I did when I was dating.  Also, a lot of my friends are still virgins and there's nothing wrong with it at all, like it's no big deal. really.
And if you're with the right guy, he won't mind the fact you have no experience.  I think what you're forgetting Kezia is that if you're going to be in that situation with someone, you'll hopefully think that they're a good person and they feel for you in a way that it won't matter how much experience you have.
That's how romance works hahaha.

So, I had an odd dream last night.

I cannot even remember how it began as it was one of those dreams that constantly changed over the course of the night. However, near the end of the dream I remember getting out of the bed in the guest bedroom at my friend's house.  I walk upstairs and look out the front window to see a fire truck parked outside just on the street. It is important to note that there weren't any lights on and there wasn't any emergency whatsoever.  I decide to go investigate.

So I walk up to the fire truck and open the door. Inside are three firemen, two with half open vests exposing bare chests and I see one sitting down on a couch (why there is a couch inside a fire truck is beyond me) who happened to be very muscular and was not wearing a shirt. He then asks me “Want a ride?”

That was when I woke up. :x

Don't forget to change your sheets :x

I laughed out loud and consequently had to explain to my roommates why I'm on a pink site with a genie in an ice cream cone in the header

What I find funny about our layout is I've yet to be questioned for it.

So I had an odd dream last night.  I was out on a date at a strange restaurant (I think it was a gothic hibachi grill sort of thing?) and Cardinal and Jake were there and apparently old friends of my date.  We all sat and chatted and ate our strange meal and then I woke up before it went any further.
