Not-So-Scary Halloween

I had a dream last night that I was in Japan. It was kind of a pseudo-urban Tokyo. I was caught up in the middle of some kind of civil gang war and I had to use my superpowers to help one of the gangs fight. And a very attractive Japanese guy in my gang fell in love with me. There was a lot of running and flying on my part, guns and bullets and intimidation from our rivals, and a lot of hugs and smiles from my Japanese lover. Not to mention I could understand every word of Japanese that was spoken, without actually knowing how to speak it myself (both in and out of my dream).

Dreams like last night make me wish I could fly in real life.




The possibilities are endless. That's what I love about dreams. I don't always have control over what happens, but when I do, I can do anything. And if something goes amiss, I just wake myself up. If dreams are meant to reflect our subconscious though, I wonder what this is telling me. Probably just an expression my desire to go to Tokyo Disneyland. And to fly, among other superpowers I was capable of. Like Peter Petrelli.

I don't know if I will dress up for Halloween. I have my idea, but I don't know if I should go with it. However, I will be wearing all black for tonight's opening performance. And maybe I'll still bring my video camera.

The Fortune Cookie

After an entire day of sleeping and resting, I needed something more than the backs of my eyelids to entertain me. The common cold has become all too common as of this morning, and it was only to be expected after being around children for the past two days and an ill father for the past week. So, I slept in, stayed home from class, and attempted to relax between coughing and pounding headaches. Well, entertainment arrived today in the form of a fortune cookie. Now, of course, fortune cookies tend to be vague, or don't even tell fortunes in the first place but rather attempt to compliment the one who opens the cookie. Tonight was a bit different though. First of all, I found not one, but TWO fortunes in my fortune cookie. And these were actually cute fortunes.

So, I opened the first fortune, which read:

"On Friday your creative side will shine forth with exceptional ideas."

And then I opened the second, which read:

"The coming month shall bring you much happiness."

Here's my chance to finally prove the validity of fortune cookies sooner than I'd hoped!

On top of all this, back in September I received a fortune of which I am truly testing. I literally have it sitting on my piano, and when the expected day arrives for the fortune to be valid, I will be paying attention to all that happens that day. Actually, I might forget, but you never know, I'll probably just continue to play life by ear. There's nothing like a modest portion of Americanized Chinese food when one is battling the common cold.
