Dirty Jokes in Fairy Grottos

... in which I relate parts of three dreams. And three other things.

The first dream was three nights ago, and I only remember a small portion of it near the end. I was me, and I was outside my house on my street at night, looking down towards the park at the bottom of our street. My brother was there, too, but he was still up on the veranda(h?), while I was on the grass. All of a sudden a white van with people poking out of non-existant windows brandishing bottles of wine and yelling drives past, and they throw a lit bottle at my next door neighbour's yard, hitting their gazeboed entrance gate thing (he's a builder, so it's all fancy and stuff). I'm just standing there watching it go up in flames, burning away, and then everything starts to warp and distort, like wonky mirrors at a carnival (or in the kids department at the shoe store in Ashfield).

The second dream, from two nights ago, was a mix of musicals and a recurring motif of overcoming a particularly embarrassing fear. My family (plus my aunt) were at the Rockdale Town Hall, where the Regals Musical Society performs (and where I've done two shows with them, for those playing at home). I soon found that this location was a mashup though - outside the hall was like a warehouse so there was no front of house area, and when I took the door stage right of the stage it led to an enormous underground system of toilets and hand-washing stations. I was running away from someone when I entered. And I'm not telling what the fear is.

The third dream was this morning's. It featured me pulling The Ex aside and telling her I'm gay. Well, first we talked about how we stopped talking. Then I told her I'm gay, so it was probably a good thing we stopped going out. She was more than a little angry. Also, there were a couple of school friends in there, and... well, I'm not sure how that all worked out - I remember talking to them, and I remember they reacted to my presence, I just can't remember if they were indifferent or rude, or if it was my own reaction that was indifferent or rude.

Anyway, the other three things:

One. On the 31st of May and the 1st of June, the choir I'm in, SUMS (Sydney University Musical Society) will be having its first concert of the year. I will be performing. We're doing Mozart's Requiem and two Handel pieces. It's going to be held at St Andrew's Cathedral (because they overbooked us for the Great Hall and kicked us out). I honestly have no idea how tickets are to be aquired, so I have to find this out.

Two. From the 9th to the 11th of May, I will be on camp for said performance. We're going down to Heathcote and spending the weekend practicing. There will be alcohol, superhero costumes (the theme of Saturday night's festivities) and at least one practice.

Three. I have a very busy weekend coming up. I'm going to have to cancel work tomorrow so I can get all my assignments done. I'm going to Theodora's place on Saturday to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday while he's here in Australia. I haven't met the boy, but neither has anyone else going as far as I'm aware, apart from Theo, obviously. I wonder what I should get him, or if getting him anything would be weird seeing as I don't know him... :S I just keep thinking of that scene from The Gilmore Girls...

Four. Because I forgot what Three was and had to improvise, but then remembered what it was. My aunt came 'round a little while ago and gave me Brokeback Mountain on DVD. YUS! I love this movie. But assignments beckon, so I shouldn't watch it just yet. :(

Oh, and for fun:

... for making new straight male friends. It's rather an unusual thing for me, my friends being mostly female or gay (though, oddly, not often both), but already there've been two this week. And Elmo Chris was even being nice to me today; it's not that he's mean, just that I'm easily ignored in more-than-one-on-ones.

Today, two big things.

One, I met Meg's Ex Boy. He's Cyn's Education partner for both presentation and the research project, and they met to work on it while I was with Cyn and Peter and Matt and Chris for lunch. He's a pretty nice guy, and he's apparently friends with Elmo Chris too. I didn't realise they were on such silent terms after their break up though; they don't talk at all, which isn't really uncommon, but what I've heard from Meg just made it sound as if they were over, not avoiding each other.

Oh well. Thanks to me, he's going to help us with our research project. How awesome am I?! :P

Two, I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK!!!! No more leeching! No more leech-related guilt! Proper access to things!! WOOOOOT XD However, I think I kind of screwed things up when I put my hard drive in my brother's laptop, because there were problems with drivers for the screen. It thought the native screen was "new hardware", and couldn't find the video/graphics/display driver that makes everything look proper-like. I've had to download a new driver for it, and it's a beta, but it seems to be working fine for the moment, so I'm happy with it.

In other news, I think I brought up Red Flags in the music department with how I got a hold of Inner World because, first week back, we're having someone come in and tell us all about Copyrights. Oh well, it was my "very illegal" method (in Dr Hindson's own words), or paying for it with a credit I don't own. The library didn't have a copy of it, Dr Hindson needed us to provide it, and the only copy that I could find via USYD was at the Con, but on loan 'til early October. So really, it's their fault, not mine.

And, yes, my Music presentation was today.

And, yes, my Education presentation is tomorrow.

And, no, neither are/were very well prepared. No focus this week. Damn repair people being slow and unable to do simple maths. *grumbles* They overcharged me, and quite obviously, but I didn't see the invoice when my dad picked it up for me this morning - I was at uni.

Still clueless about Peter. Must remember to talk to Cyn about this. And any ideas/suggestions/prompts are welcome.

:D

Today was good, despite a couple of things. And what else should one expect on their birthday? :P

Started the day early (7:30am-ish) so I'd see my mum before she went to work, and everyone but my brother was up and about. Despite numerous calls to his bedroom, he wouldn't wake up, so gifts were given without him. He didn't really need to be there anyway, seeing as he had had no input in anything. But that's ok. We all kind of expect that from him. Lazy and hermit-like is just how he is.

( the rest of my day )

Everyone at work also got christmas presents from our boss (the girls all got wine/champagne, and I got Dutch chocolate cuz I don't like wine), and we have our store's christmas party this Friday. We're planning on getting the boss some good champagne to say thanks for the evening (his wife and he are paying for all 10-14 of us) and merry christmas, but somehow I've ended up with the orgnising role... uh oh. I don't know anything about champagne, and I don't do well trying to get people to pay up when they "forget", so... I dunno. We'll see how it all turns out.

YAY!
It's my 9 month LJ anniversary!
*serves many Bulgarian delights and Linguistic confectionary*
It has been 9 months since this LJ was conceived and today, I gave birth to it.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, I decided to spruce up my User Info and reinvent myself - I think I deserve it, after all, I have been lugging this LJ around in my belly for almost a year now.

*explodes*

So happy. I don't know why...
