MY LIFE - FEBRUARY

Social Experiment #304 - Tuesday, February 25, 2003

Yesterday was slow for a Monday, so the fact that tonight was busier was surprise to no one. But I don't feel like talking about work right now.

I had a dream this morning. It was a strange dream. In it, I was going with this really cute girl (who looks like no one I've ever seen) to her place to watch a movie and spend the night. For whatever reason, I was taking two of our cats, Simba and Cricket, as well. In the dream, I stuff them into our red cat carrier (that's in two pieces right now) and throw them in the back of her truck, which I believe was a Ford Explorer. The significance of this is lost on me.

Anyway, the movie is freaking weird, the girl is way into it, and I keep getting attacked by Simba. I finally put my arm around the girl and lean into her, at which point I wake up realizing I have about ten minutes to get ready for work.

The fact that I remember that much about my dream should be enough to scare the average reader since it's been well-documented that I don't remember my dreams at all. I remembered this one a little bit. The fact that it was so damn weird has bothered me all day.

I'm not one of those who really believes in reading into the "meaning" of a dream, so I'm really not concerned with what the dream means. No, I'm more concerned as to why I remembered this one and not any of the other dreams that I have. Does this mean I'm going to remember dreams from now on? Probably not. I don't find dreams to be significant and I almost never remember anything that's insignificant.

In a completely unrelated event, I saw the cutest girl in Taco Bell tonight after work. Not only did this girl look at me for a prolonged period of time, but she also smiled and said hi to me as she walked by to get her drink. Most of you are probably thinking that I should've talked to her, maybe tried to ask for a number or something. Believe, I would've, if I hadn't picked up on her coming from a car that had a guy in the driver's seat.

I pretty much just smiled back and glanced at her occasionally, but I wasn't going to risk my life talking to a girl that's already taken.

Which brings me to what I was going to talk about. I always meet girls who either aren't looking or are already taken. I'm talking the attractive girls who talk to me. They're always like that. Some of you remember Shelby. She's an attractive girl. She seems to like me. Problem is, she doesn't want to date anyone at this point (plus she's moving back to Texas in the spring anyway). Another girl, Lindsay, was already taken when I met her. It just took me two months to figure it out.

It's just one of those minor nuisances though.

There's really not a whole lot to say today. Work was, well, it was work. Nothing really notable happened and I don't really have anything that I really want to talk about tonight, partly because I do have to work at 10am tomorrow morning.

I'm going to Mike's afterwards, so who knows if I'll have anything else to say or time to write about it. I've been getting back into video games, so it's not like I've had all the time in the world to spend online.

Maybe in the next few days, I'll reflect on the days when I had nothing better to do than to sit online. The days where I didn't have to work, didn't have to balance all these different things.

The good old days. Well, minus my dad and his drug problem.
