2000-03-03 09:36:23 I feel somewhat healthy today for the first time in like a week. A WEEK! yay. I feel like, like, one time in high school there was this kid I knew, we'll call him "Matt," and he was, I don't know, he just did things his own way, and his own way included not changing his clothes as often as most high school students. anyways, one time he wore the same underwear for a week, and I know this because he told us, and then he changed his underwear becuase he felt like it, and he came outside and started jumping around, really enjoying the feeling of clean underwear, which we all enjoy, saying "yay! new underwear! I feel like superman!!!" I guess that's how I feel. I dreamed last night that I was in a boy band and we did the best song. and justin timberlake and common both guested on it. that would be an awesome collaboration, I think. but I dream about music so often and then I never remember it, and of course if I did I'd make a million dollars. I write wicked awesome songs in my dreams. dear dairy, was it okay that I told you about my dream? because listen, that can be tricky, and I'll tell you why: people don't enjoy hearing about other people's dreams!. it's true! here is the secret to telling other people your dreams, and this was related to me by a smart girl named cheryl. the secret of telling people about your dreams is to keep it short and sweet. just hit the high notes. here is a good for example: "I was talking to my mom and a drugstore fell on me." or: "my best friend looked like a bug and she told me to sit and spin or die trying." the trouble comes when you get caught up in all the details, like for a bad example: "I had the wierdest dream last night. I dreamed that I was walking down a road, and then the road turned purple, and then it looked like a snake, and then the snake told me I had nice feet, and then suddenly I was on the moon, and then I was in a soda shop, and you were there, and you were there too, and everyone hated me." because it's like the details that are interesting to you are of course not going to be interesting to other people. and like the wierdness of dreams is sort of our shared experience as humans, so saying things like "Isn't that wierd, or how odd that I had a wierd dream," sort of just misses the point. like we're all in this together, and it's not our inner lives that are interesting, it's how we tell others about them. because inside we're not that different, but language is the filter. so there. also my nose hurts from blowing it too much, and that's no dream. thank you very much & credits music: |
