Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions. ~Edgar Cayce

I'm not sure about my dream answering any questions of the future...but I do know one thing my dream last night was stttrraaaange. I remember most of it, but not all so some parts are fuzzy. But here goes.....


I was in gym class back at PT...only it wasn't PT because the ground was flat (and if you've been to PA you know nothing is flat.) If I'm not mistaken it was the grassy area to the right of Fairbanks, only there was no playground. Anyway, it was gym class and we had to run out there. Doing what? I'm not sure but run out there we had to. And while I was out there I saw someone really familiar kicking around a soccerball. It was Laurel!! She was in a hurry and I got the impression she had to leave soon, or that if she stayed to talk to long her teacher would yell at her. Somehow there was a bit of time and we managed a hurried hug and a heart felt I miss you and I managed to ask why she was there. She said they'd had some kind of bad frost at her school so they couldn't hold gym class so had taken a trip to our school. At first, that made perfect sense and then suddenly it didn't. Not the frost part and that they woulnd't have traveled anywhere for frost...that part somehow still made perfect sense, but that driving 5 hours and back would be longer than their school day. During that time don't ask me where the soccerball went, but it suddenly reappeared again and off she skitted kicking the soccerball leaving a confused me behind. Her teacher was grouping them on the other side of the "field" which was more like an undefined grassy area. Suddenly my group of people and her group of people switched sides of the "field" and began to line up. All the soccerballs that her group had been kicking around disappeared and her line of people and my line of people were facing one another. Then a strange thing happened (as if this isn't strange enough already right?) we began to sing. All kinds of songs. When a John Denver song started I got all excited but then they put this thick fog around that went along with the song...I think it was leavin' on a jetplane and supposed to symbolize the clouds. But I got frustrated cause I was worried that Laurel and them would have to leave. I knew they were getting ready before we sang, but I was hoping to have more time alone with her, one because I miss her and wanted to talk and two because I was still confused by why they were there. But I was afraid while it was foggy they'd make their escape. But they didn't we sang some more but then they DID disapear and a sad me was pushed along the crowd when it was over; everyone talking about how cool all the effects had been ex) the fog. And that's all I remember. I suppose it had something to do with the places I met and spent time with Laurel... soccer...gym class...and 7th grade ensemble and the following choir years...but it was the strangest thing. And the stranger thing is how vividly I remember it. Normally I forget my dreams or they're tiiiiny fragments, or they're scary but this was none of them. So I don't know what kinds of questions this dream can answer but if you find any let me know ;)

That's What I Love About Sundays

Today couldn't have gone any better.

Went to Epcot to pick up a fast pass for Soarin' then headed to Magic Kingdom. Did Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Erik beat me in the end though :P, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Splash Mountain. Then it was time for lunch...Pecos Bills...yum... I'm kinda mad they changed their desserts though. *whines* they were so good before. oh well. Then it was time to go back to Epcot for Soarin' which I allllwayyyys enjoy, but I'm afraid I may have built it up too much. Then tried to do Test Track, but it was down, indefinately, so we headed out. We almost did Spaceship Earth (where you go inside the "ball") but decided against it. When we got to Animal Kingdom.......torrential downpour. Got a locker for pal Mickey & camera. And then...we were wet...no no no no...not wet...take that back.....soaked TO THE CORE. It was fine being wet and playing in the rain until we left Animal Kingdom. We did Kilomanjaro Safaris which was awwwesome because the animals loooove coming out in the rain, the pengani forest exploration trail, and looked around the Tree of Life a bit. Then we headed out and absolutely froooooze to icicles on the bus ride to Disney's MGM Studios. Then we walked around for a bit, almost went into Who Wants to be a Millionair Play it but decided against it on account of it being too cold and too crowded. We walked around for a bit more and got amused by the streets of america and headed towards Rockin RollerCoaster...that was GREAT fun, got some water to hydrate...for a time perception was prolly around 645 when we left there to go back to Magic Kingdom. froooze yet again on the bus and yes it was still raining. Have to keep checking every once in a while ya know? ;) Did Philhar Magic which is always fun and which Erik seemed to really enjoy. If I remember correctly that was his third favorite of the day. Haunted Mansion, and then headed over towards Big Thunder Mountain. On our way there Erik and I were having a good conversation and I turned to look at him to answer something he'd said and I gasped. loudly. He was like, "what?" framing him there was a beautiful rainbow. A bright rainbow that kept getting brighter and turned into a double rainbow. I was very excited...how perfect!! After Big Thunder we tried to make it to Epcot before the fireworks started but we didn't and they wouldn't let us in. :( Oh well...we were hungry we realized....or I realized we'd had no dinner so we stopped at Taco Bell on the way home. And then it was time to head home. He dropped me off...came in for a bit and then had to headout :( he has an early flight out tomorrow. Hugged and said our goodbyes. There was a point or two, much much laughter, quite a bit of talking, a poor beat up Mickey, and the idea for Erik's personal band following him around describing his life. This made for an excellent day and I just can't beleive it! He said he did, but I hope he had as much fun as me. haha night all!!

Fever Break

I am so glad that I had a fever last night...here's why...I was sick enough to call in for today, and I'm glad it broke last night/ early this morning...because that meant I could still see Erik. So he came over around noonish, we talked a bit I introduced him to my roomates, then we talked some more then we went to downtown disney...the Legos were definately fun. Then we came back, and my chocolate melted in his car, which we didn't notice until we were headed back out to go to the mall. but I put them in the fridge they'll survive. After we came back from the florida mall we watched a Knight's Tale, and then Jacqueline came home. The three of us went to Cici's Pizza, and had all you can eat pizza/pasta/salad, for just 5 bucks. yeeeeeahh!! And then we talked some more with some random pillow fighting in there haha. it was very enjoyable and as Erik predicted we could talk well in person too, I must say I'm suprised because I usually am weirdish about stuff and around guys, but no we had a good time. He just left and now I'm going to bed cause he'll be back in the morning so we can hit the parks wahhooo!! Have a good night all sleep well!!

A Gift From Jacq

2 years out of 7 completed. Although I must say although this one had a story...it seems kind of stuck in the middle of the main story...not that I've read the others yet, so I can't know, but it seems to be a repeat of last year and and nothing new is learned for upcoming books. I wonder if at the beginning JK considered ending it here as loose ends from the book are tied up and nothing new is introduced...it's an interesting thought, but one I'll never know the answer to. This time it was a gift from my roomate Jacq, I was sleeping the day away yesterday not feeling well and she woke me up to give it to me. I yawned stretched like a cat, felt warm inside at the nice gesture and rolled over and went back to sleep. She's so sweet, even if her intentions were slightly so she could talk about them with me. She's already told me she can't wait for me to go through next year, it's her favorite. :)

This post has another purpose, not only to tell you I have been through the second year (ps I say it like this because in books, well good ones, you feel like you are there...an outsider, but experiencing it there none the less, and I have read year's one and two so I've completed it that way too.) but to also tell you that I found myself someplace last night I never thought I would be. A club. Called Parliment House. A "gay" club. My friend was doing drag and wanted me to come see him. The show was actually a lot of fun and the stage they did it on was in a room that was non-smoking. yay! Even clubs have smoke free areas...there is hope!! haha. But anyway, yeah, it was a lot of fun! Now, the club itself...... well I dunno after the show there was people and smoke everywhere...and before the show in the club men in their underwear liked to walk around... *looks weary* yeah, wasn't too keen on that one... but whatcha gonna do? I still don't understand why people find clubs so fun though or how they can go out week after week, especially the underagers as they're wristbanned with a different color so it can't be the alcohol they're addicted to. *shakes head in puzzlement* Then again, many people like meeting people there, but seeing as that's not the place I'd like to meet people I don't have fun with the people. *laughs* *shakes head and re-reads the confusing sentance still not understanding what she said*

Also, naturefreak goes public today :) (Meaning this site)

A Co-workers Gift

On year down... 6 more to go. Although...I won't be able to read one of them for another 2 years :P Absolute bliss...these books are going to KIILLL all of my good student intentions that I have for next semester. Ya know, study harder, I am taking chemistry next semester, and 17 credits to boot. But despite all that I know I will be reading these books when I should be doing my homework. Reading is a good thing right? Too bad when you like to read, it's also addicting and gets in the way of studying.

I kind of like having this journal that no one knows about. I thought about keeping it that way, but that's what my journals on paper are for, and I like to keep people updated atleast somewhat on what's going on in my life.....so as soon as I ever figure out this html stuff, it goes public. Although, I may never learn what I want to know about html so it may go public before then, I haven't decided.

The reason for the title is because I got the book from a co-worker. I was practically salavating one day at work when she was reading a Harry Potter book and I was explaining how I didn't want to buy them until I could buy the box set and that I thought it would be a nice thing to tell family members I want for Christmas or something and she said she had an extra first book. She had an extra first book because she bought it for herself before her boyfriends mother bought her the box set. So she kindly gave it to me. Sweetest and most wonderful thing EVER, and I'm done with it already and she just gave it to me yesterday. *laughs* See what I mean about it killing my best intentions?? haha.
