up before 9 - check breakfasted - check. And.... That's about it. Considering that I *was*, in fact, up well before 9 and that it is now 10:15 or so, this has not been the best start to my day. I think that when I start going to the gym next week things ought to go a little better. I am also trying to decide if I want to go in to school today to see if the secretary I need to talk to is in (she's been sick) and pick up a few books from the library, or if I should just wait until Monday. If I do that I'll make today a writing day... But first I should maybe have a shower and get dressed, eh? :p I had a shit ton of bizarre dreams last night. I remember skjaere being in them but she was he only real person, and he rest of it was quite surreal and i'm not even sure I could explain. But she was trying to leave Alaska (?) only she kept getting separated from her big burly protector minotaur thing (?) when she would sit down somewhere random to write some fic so she was having a hell of a time trying to get plane tickets (?) and then her minotaur thing had to fly cargo, like a pet (?) and he was pretty unhappy about that, and then he lost her and wound up in a cage with a bunch of other monster types, who may or may not have had some kind of weird off-screen orgy...(?) Yeah I don't even pretend to know. I almost feel bad for skjaere because it was probably the weirdest dream I have had in a loooong time and really she deserves better company O_O

Last ught, I wad the first disc of the boxed set of Boondocks, which I enjoyed. Dina and matt, as per usual, fell asleep watching stuff. My movers are supposed to be coming this morning, but I'm nit sure when. I was gogn to go swimming and such with Dina this AM - we will see if that happens or not, I guess - I do hear voices upstairs now, at least!

I had a tooth dream last night, kinda. I was at some strange aromatheraphy function for people with LUPUS. I had a soft spot on one of my gums, and also a part of the enamel on one of my other teeth had flaked off, revealing white spongy suff beneath. I ept thinking that I should be at this retreat thing because I didn't belone (I think it was a LARP event of some kind, maybe?). We were all given three bowls of smelly things to mix based on different themes. The oils looked like BPAL bottles. I had a thing of clove scented stuff, somethig else which may have been oragne and/or cranberry, and one that was supposed to mell like the sea, which was salt and tiny tiny bits of dried caviar. I mixed them in a bowl, hoping that it would calm me down and I could stop freaking out an being bitchy about my tooth. I kept thinking that damn, I really should call a dentist or something.

I think I am a little stressed about moving! The last thing I heard from the appartment people was that they hadn't got my application fees. This makes me a little wary... I hope it will all get sorted out, and soon -_-

I'm going to go brush my teeth :V

( I Had A Weird Dream )

...then tsiankiio called to see if I wanted to go out to lunch with peeps :) I said yes. She initially said O'Charley's, but Dina has apparently been craving the Indian Buffet like a mad woman, so I guess that's where we're going now :)

I should shower, etc, so that I will be ready, Rar!

I had a dream last night that I had TB. There was other stuff going on, but that is what I remember - the coughing up bits of blood and lungs. It didn't hurt but it was kind of gross. I think Hazel, Rob, and Joel might have been there. We all thought it was odd but none of us were particularly concerned.

Maybe I'm just looking forward to today's installment of Beyond the pale? Which reminds me that I'm still two installments behind on Pieces.

I don't want to do *anything* today. I'm super tired for some reason. I only just got dressed now. Bleh. I don't want to go swimming either. Maybe I'll go for a *long* walk instead, somewhere. I was out for about 4-5 hours yesterday doing exercise-y related stuff, although it takes me a millennium in the shower post-gym to get my hair washed and decently conditioned :/

Sleepy ;_;

I think I have been listening to too many Cthulhu christmas songs, or else I should Blame Rob's DC character, or something. I had a mythos dream last night! But I wasn't dreaming anything about things in the mythos, but about the meta mythos. Which is that someone (Haze or Rob, maybe?) either wanted to run a game set in one of the mythos verses, r was writing a story set in them, or something, and we were trying to find the name of one of the worlds or one of the stories or something. So for some reason I called tsiankiio to ask her. Only she was living at 'home' (which was not her home) instead of being married to justnukeit, and had a really annoying little brother names Travis. In the dream, I was on the ohone with her, but the visuals were all of her side of things. We were trying to find the name of a specific setting for some mythos thing, and we knew all the different authors who had contributed, and I was asking her if she'd read any stuff by Howard, or Smith, etc, and I threw in Robert Jordan too, as I know he used to write Conan stories, but I told her that Wheel of Time didn't count. However someone else said they thought that they'd heard that he had included some references to this particular place in the WoT series. Anyway eventually she had to get off the phone because her brother was being highly annoying, and also her kitten had thrown up. It was an odd dream. I also remember looking through the internet for stuff about a tv show. And no, I don't think that the place we were looking for ever actually existed in the mythos, only in my brain. But it was some place that the elder gods had been worshiped and such, and some of the mythos contributors (I want to say Smith and or Howard, but not Lovecraft himself) had written a bunch of stories set there. I think there were also dinosaurs.

Anyway, upon waking up (rather groggily) because someone was knocking at my door (delivering my Shoes!), I thought it was very odd, as Kiio mostly reads sci-fi, and really would not be on my list of people to ask about Mythos things. Which would really go about as follows: Joel, Jodie, Cat, in that order. Actually, shame on me for forgetting fiachra, who actually ably answered Mythos for me when I wanted to include references in my Hist Arch papers last term ^-^

Anyway, I think I am going to wash dishes, have some foods (in that order, you'll note), and then go swimming :) Tonight I expect there will be more drabble writing, as I plan to use my walking/swimming time to plot stuff for drabbles and so forth. Maybe if I am feeling patient I will mess around with my sewing machine tension some more -_-

Last night was pretty fun. we went to the sushi place in town. I did not have sushii. I feel uncultured, but I am just not a huge fan of japanese food. Even teriyaki I am starting to just find too sweet, and everything else has flavours that I just don't appreciate. I do like salmon fish-sushi's but I have to be in the right mood to deal with the texture. Last night want not such a night. I got a vegetarian sweet potato roll, which was okay except for the seaweed that it was wrapped in, which made the whole thing taste fishy *and* was hard to chew. Why does it make me feel like a bad person not to like ethnic food? o_O anyway.

After that we adjourned to house of Bazil for socialization, chatting, and dessert. There was cake with cream cheese frosting, cream puffs and canoli ad some other little petit-fours and such, and trifle, and justnukeit brought his patented Tuxedo brownies = [Brownies + strawberry or raspberry jam + fresh fruit +(whipped cream + cream cheese + melted white chocolate)] layered in that order. We played Scene It (Girls vs Boys) and Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit, and I was on the winning team both times, wooh! And I actually even knew some of the answers for the second game, when I played with Rich, who knew a lot more of them ;) I was disadvantaged for being Canadian though. Also, there was liquor involved. I had three fairly sweet cosmos (maybe four, but I think just three), so I was pretty silly by the end of things, and helped speed up the end of the game somewhat when other people were getting tired of it. And yes, there were outbursts of my usual 'cheating' - blurting out answers when it wasn't my turn, and such, though this mostly resulted in pie wedges for people on other teams. Ahh well ^-^

I also woke up to an odd and complex ( dream about gaming )

I think Japanese food much not like me either, as my digestion this morning has been rather questionable. Of course, I ate a lot of strange-to-me things yesterday (at least uncommon), as I really didn't prepare any of my own food and ate a lot of junk.

So I am off to have scammed cookies for breakfast, and have a shower! Later I will work on Pieces and play Exia, wooh! Maybe at some point today I will get around to converting Hadyn to 3.5.

I am slipping into a nocturnal schedule again, but doing it poorly. The last two nights, I've gone to sleep and woken up about two hours later, still dead tired but unable to sleep. Nothing seems to help much. I guess I should either try *not* to become entirely nocturnal, even though there seems little point if I won't have to be up before two for the next month or so :p I should try to do it more clever... maybe go back to limiting naps. That is a hard transition to make if I am trying to be productive though. For example, I expect I will be up for a while today, doing unproductive things, and then I will go nap to catch up on sleep, and come back and work on thesis, which will tire me out, so I'll take another nap. Maybe I should make a 'no naps after X PM rule. Probably no naps after six would be good. We'll try it. And for those of you who razz me constantly about napping, keep in mind that I get no caffeine in my diet whatsoever. No extra pep. i don't even have any candy these days to buzz me up.

Hmm, there is a thought though. I could start drinking more caffeinated tea... I kind of like the fact that I don't rely on caffeine, but then all this napping tells me that maybe I should. or else that I'm just a pussy - also possible. Jodie is making me feel like a weak girly girl because I have never been able to do more than about one real pushup ever and she is ploughing thought the transition from girly to real and will be back up to dozens of real pushups in no time!

In other news, I had a weird dream last night about texas and moncton. tsiankiio was in it with her mom and various other relatives. I think longpig may have been. My mom was in it, and there was shopping and a pet store, and puppies and dinosaurs, and gangbangers. It was very odd. I bought some cool piratey ants/bloomer type things.

Anyway I am going to have some oatmeal and maybe watch some tv shows. Which is different then watching tv, of course, as I don't have one. Huzzah for dvds and the internets!

( dream! )

In other news, I have to remember to take something to read, or to do, when I am envigilating the exam this morning. Also, for Steve and anyone else amused by word silliness, a link to skjaere's journal, where she has posted the new compound-ish words from the Washington Post Mensa Invitational thingy contest. I like sarchasm and glibido best, I think :)
