all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

chapel of the white tree

i just had the greatest nap in the world. not that i should have even HAD a nap. in fact, this weekend was probably the most inopportune time for a nap in the whole world. but i wanted one. so i took one. i am evil. so deal.
anyway, case in point. i don't know if there's some correlation between afternoon naps and me being in random sci-fi movies, but here's my dream:

it starts at northwestern. some committee or other is starting this campus-wide game thing. everyone gets this briefcase full of skip-bo-like cards and we're all playing some weirdly-complicated card game. i don't really know how to play, but then it's okay because i turn into frodo baggins, and aragorn is there, so he decides to help me. but then he tells me we have to start some this journey. he's telling me we have to go to weathertop, and apparently the puddle jumper trail is the way to get there. the whole fellowship joins us, and we all have these briefcases full of cards. but they're all following me, and i have no idea where weathertop is. i'm just a hobbit, geez! so then they all get annoyed because we get lost and have to spend the night at this house in the middle of nowhere. it ends up being one of the houses that i stayed at on band tour last year, except we sleep in this room that looks like one of the rooms from charlie and the chocolate factory. it has these freakish spinning lollipops everywhere. we're sleeping on a balcony and we look down and the room is HUGE, full of spinning lollipops. and then aragorn is trying to explain to me how to play the card game, but then i find out that he was cheating the whole time. he made me think that i was winning all of his cards, but then gimlie tells me that we're really supposed to be getting rid of our cards. so i get all hobbit-mad at aragorn and storm off.
and then i remember i'm supposed to be playing in a concert for symphonette, so i freak out and run back to school. i'm wearing a black shirt and black pants, but i notice that i'm wearing brown moccasins. so i take those off and walk on stage, but then i look down and see that i have one blue sock and one orange sock on. so now i have to run all the way back to my dorm room to find some black shoes, because man, DMG is going to kill me if i wear blue and orange socks to a concert. (that totally draws attention away from my face) so i run really really fast and i get back in time for the concert, and then i get all worried that the fellowship will leave weathertop without me. but then they all end up coming to watch the concert; they had to be there because the music department was dedicating the chapel to aragorn that night because he gave them a bunch of money to build it. it's going to be called "the chapel of the white tree." they even had this huge white tree in the middle of the stage. but aragorn is all mad at me for storming of so he tells me that if i don't quit violin he's going to take all his money back that he gave to the chapel.

yeah. then i woke up. i'm a freak.

Wow. I think this dream may have been caused by your "aunt." Or the pudding pops.
