7.23 - 7.24
last night was fun, dream-wise. quite a rhapsody of nonsense, i'd say. let's start with what i remember being first. katy and i are painting. we were outside by a sidewalk...painting. i had just finished my masterpiece which i entitled "irony." i was in the middle of signing it when some really big guy strolled by. he thought it'd be funny to take one of my pens and try to scribble on my painting. so that's what he did. obviously, i stopped him (twice) and told him to "get the fuck away." he found that offensive apparently and started trying to fight me. i didn't want to fight so he went over by katy. he began flirting, and then when he stroked her hair i threw him down. yes. little dave threw down the big guy. and then he left.that's not the first time i took the defensive side in my dreams last night. the next thing i knew i was beside my pool with chuck. the next thing i know i was working for the police station.we conducted all our important business meetings at macaroni grill. all i can remember from this part of the dream is missing a luncheon and a dinner at the restaraunt due to my not paying attention to the time. and then i was by my pool with chuck. we each had a vanilla coke, but he hadn't opened his. he decided to finish mine. so i grabbed his soda, opened it, and began to drink it. that pissed him off. and so after that we were in school. the ninja turtles' old gang had broken up and been completely replenished with new ninja turtles. i still had the power to turn myself into leonardo though. that's about it. then, a kid at school decided to pick on me. for no apparent reason. so i decided to follow him to an empty side of the school, where i grabbed him by the neck and threw him against the wall. i warned him that he'd better stay away from me, and he ran off. and the next thing i knew, the school newspaper had it printed that i was the last person he had interacted with before his mysterious disappearance. apparently he'd never returned. i went to the place where i'd dropped my bag and school books and they had disappeared. then maggie li showed up and returned them to me. that was nice of her. then it was the first day of school (yes, that day that just happened was not the first) and i was looking for all my classes. i'm not sure why, but i assumed that all my new classes were the same as my old ones. fortunately i lucked out on a few of them, but there was a new chemistry teacher (an englishman with a chinese name) and i wasn't in his class. he thought there was something wrong with me because i wasn't going in his class. silly teacher. so i told him i was trying to find my real class. he couldn't help me. so i was standing there with katy, elizabeth, and jackie. we had just finished talking to mr. brewer and now i was leaving to go to my house office. that's all i can remember. how weird.

thoughts
i think i've totally given up on thoughts and analysis for this one. it hurts my brain to think too hard.
