Disasters

Terry mentioned something about Chernobyl last night, which resulted in me landing at this site: Chernobyl Ghost Town It takes you on a tour of a few odd miles through towns near the atomic plant. At the end of each page is a link to the next which brings you closer and closer to the eerie point of destruction. I clicked on each link with caution, expecting to see something I really didn't want to. In reality, I probably didn't want to see any of it. I am one of those (un)fortunate people who live with a dichotomous intrigue of the macabre, while being uncommonly squeamish.

I told Terry I would probably have a bad dream because of this tour. I did. I dreamt of pictures of radiated bodies, whatever those would look like. It affected me. It did in the same way visiting the Holocaust Museum did. I couldn't help but know that innumerable humans were killed, painfully, and that it would affect our civilization for generations to come.
Describing my dream will help no one. But, checking out this page might change your perspective a little bit. Take the time to read as well as look at the pictures; powerful images, equally powerful commentary.

I also dreamt, hopefully in a separate sequence, that once again, I was in New York. I was in a scarf shop for a good amount of time with a girl I've never seen. But I liked her. Also, (Tori I think this is because of our Dipping Dots experience) I dreamt that sherbet makes your boobs grow. The lady serving it said "makes the ta-tas grow big" in an eastern european accent and made big breast gestures with her arms and hands. I think it was a combination of tasting Tori's sherbet Dipping Dots, and our pregnant Chinese PhD temp in DCU wanting to take us all to Hooters for lunch before she goes out on maternity leave.

I made a couple of Mix CDs for Scott a little while ago. It was fun. Since he will be hanging out with his Ohio friends next week and not enslaved in the confines of Cardinal, he'll have plenty of time to check them out. I hope he likes them. I didn't put what songs were on them or who they are by. Is that not nice? I like the element of surprise.....

Still Monday!?

Holy goodness, it is still Monday. I'll be zonked out shortly but figured I'd jot a few thoughts down before I'm out.

• I realized a while ago that this time next year I could be getting ready to start State. I suppose I've literally come full circle. I started here when I left high school and headed for ASU in the mountains, then I wasted a couple of years doing nothing in Greenville. Now I'm back here and actually moving things along. Guess I just had to get out there and make a few mistakes until I got it right. I've learned a lot though; more than I ever would have had I just gone to school like a good girl and gotten a degree in decent time. I will forever be a student in the school of life.
  

I have more thoughts, I really do, but they are clouded by the seduction of sleep.
Will update soon.

The studious are never weary

Time to take a break from my studies to update. I have instruction from Jennifer-aka Tramp Bear, to make a list of the qualities I would like in a boyfriend, lover, husband, etc.
I also must share with the virtual world that my friend Scott-aka Stoner Bear, has finally caught up to the rest of us and created his own blog. Am currently taking bets on how long he will actually keep it alive. He is a scientific, analytical mind and I don't see writing as an activity that titillates him. Maybe he will surprise us all. He has also made a list of qualities his ideal girl would have. Should this interest you, his blog is located at http://www.scottibeer.blogspot.com

A girl can dream.....

• Will think I'm a smart cookie.
• Will think I'm a cute cookie.
• Will think I'm a funny cookie (little bit of ha-ha, little bit of strange).
• Will see me as strangely unique and like no one else, but will like me for it.
• Will hold my face when he kisses me.
• Will be happy spending a good part of Sunday loving over the paper.
• Will find my contest habit endearing.
• Will respect me.
• Will hear a certain song or two and think of me.
• Will be creative and open minded.
• Will make me feel safe, but not overprotected.
• Will hug me for no good reason except that he wants to.
• Will be honest and loyal.
• Will surprise me.
• Will like to read.
• Will understand that I just need to be alone sometimes.
• Will want to go on vacation with me.
• Won't have different rules for me, will make me a priority.
• Won't be cheap.
• Won't make fun of my fears of the dark, spiders, and buzzing insects.
• Will love me, one day, and every day after that.
  

So there.
I suppose I can be flexible, since I will expect him to be as well. Heh.
Make your list today. It's free, it passes the time, and it will give you something to look forward to.
