15 June 2005

Have you dreamed about anyone or anything online recently? [More:]My dream from last night: I had a day off from work, so I did what most people do on their days off, I flew to Greece for the day, to the beach at Pamplona. (I know that Pamplona is in Spain, but in my dream it was a beach in Greece, no bull) The water was so clear and blue, but it was so filled with angry attack lobsters that no one would dare go in. They would swim right up to you, and they had big, angry faces. And those angry lobsters were really infuriated that people kept trying to go for a swim in their water. There were a few fishermen in small boats, and the lobsters would jump right into the boats and attack them.

The cars in Pamplona, Greece, were really ugly, and so were the buildings. I was looking forward to enjoying the architecture, but the buildings were all new, and made of cinderblock, and were all housing American companies, most notably General Motors. I think the town was pretty much owned by General Motors. Too bad they didn't think to do anything about the ugly cars in Pamplona, Greece.

Amazingly, I had actually remembered to charge my cell phone (I never remember this in real life...) and I kept calling taz to see if she would come to the beach for a meetup, but in a bizarre twist, she had gone to the US for the day, to surprise me. I mean, what are the odds? She was wandering around the country asking people if they knew where I was. She hadn't ever asked me for my address because that would have given away the surprise.

Ok so it's no Gift of the Magi, but the irony!

I've also dreamed about Metafilter a few times, but there were no attack lobsters that I can recall.
This isn't recent, but I dreamt once that Mathowie had banned me from Metafilter with a very nasty MeTa thread and everyone was laughing and laughing. It was awful; I woke up in a cold sweat and realized that a) I am a hopeless loser if this kind of thing bothers me that much and b) damn, part of me will always be a socially inept 14 year old.

Aw, iconomy! I'm so sorry I missed you! We were just destined to be planes, passing in the sky, I guess. But that Pamplona, Greece is one assugly place all right.

mygothlaundry: I had that one too. Made two awful FPPs and was bashed silly in MeTa. No fun.

I dreamed that I posted to Meffy, and it got deleted. I had no idea why, so I contacted the sysop. He was dismissive and rude. I tried everything I could to be welcomed, but was rebuffed at every turn. Finally I found myself on a precipice, pleading for justice.

All of a sudden, the wind picked up and blew me into the air. All of my problems disappeared: the general nastiness, the random disdain of the sysop, the giant goiter. When I woke up I was here, at ease and happy. No more boogeyman erasing my posts and giving me the finger. Just people having fun, like in the Elysian Fields of old. What a dream.

What a reality. Thank you, Metachat.

One night I had a dream that was just white and yellow text scrolling in front of a blue background. When I woke up, I felt like I had crossed some horrible line of nerddom and tried to force myself to cut down my exposure to the Blue.

That lasted about a week.

Funny, I dreamed that i went on a drunken noding rampage over on E2, and was ridiculed and eventually banned. Man, I love dreaming that I'm drunk.

About a week ago I had a dream that was more EverQuest oriented than anything. I came across a building and someone mentioned that bevets built it. I said he was an asshole but damn, he could build gorgeous buildings.

Don't ask me.

No dreams. But in the shower I do yak at you all. Then in front of the keyboard I clam up.

Ever since Ascension on Kingdom of Loathing, I've dreamed about taking out the Sorceress and/or acquiring enough food to gain more adventures to finish the quest. Last night I was bribing Saucerers to combine my dry noodles with their Scrumptious Reagent, with moderate success.

Sometimes I dream that MoFi people call me and abuse me.

When I got my first computer in 1995, just out of college, I dreamt in Windows for about a week.

It must have been a dream, if you got Windows to keep running for a week.
