Three days of non-stop cartoons coupled with a bad case of gas from all the vegetables I ate last night combined to give me some pretty freaky dreams.I can kinda remember three separate episodes that stand out among a whole load of weirdness.
1: Back at Deanshanger where I grew up, I was walking past the primary school and happened to see someone hanging about under the giant willow tree. I went to take a looksee, and it turned out to be some stunning gothic girlie with braided black hair and blue finger nails.
We chatted briefly and then she came back to my family's house with me for a ride in my car. Now here's where it gets weird. My car was a Ferrari 308 GTB, obviously, but my dad also owned a white Lamborghini Diablo and a white Lotus Esprit Turbo which he let us drive on occasion. Amusingly, my brother owned a ratty old green Ford Capri.
So anyway, I went to ask my dad if I could borrow the Diablo, as my Ferrari was blocked in by my brother's capri. My dad being the asshole that he is got all stroppy and started jumping into the cars and driving them away so I couldn't drive any of them.
Needless to say, I went into a screaming rage and started trashing the circuitboards from the company's latest compuer project (where this comes in is beyond me, but it made sense at the time) until I got some satisfaction. As it was, I ended up getting fired and feeling like a complete idiot.
2: A much smaller scene. I was wandering through one of the local housing estates and happened to spot what looked like an abandoned industrial estate. Someone I knew approached me and told me that yes, this was indeed the long lost estate of something-or-other (it had a name, but I cant remember it) which had been knocked down some 10 years ago and no-one had seen since.... quite a mystery, and I was very lucky to find it. We went inside to check it out, and despite being mostly empty, there were still some people working on the loading bays.
3: This one despite being the last one before I woke is also the vaguest.
I was wandering around the house, fed up coz my girlfriend (an amalgam of every girlfriend I've ever had... which makes for a very curious creature) didn't want to have sex with me and was being all grumpy at me for even suggesting it. I was going to go back to the willow tree to look for that gothic girlie when I was woken by a very loud cow mooing.
All of these though being fragmented are pretty easy to understand... not that I'm gonna explain them here... I just felt like putting them in writing coz they're so well formed and easy to remember. The most amusing bit of all that is the cow mooing. Turns out it was arry playing the cow sample we use in the chatroom. She triggered it... and my laptop's hooked into my stereo, so it came out fairly loud.
Some of you may be able to hear that very moo on this blog, as I embedded it into the page... depends on your active X settings, and if you've patched your OS. Mine doesn't play it.
