Hello to everyone!
Especially to my new friend PHEOBE who has recently joined us and is seemingly QUITE amazing! So welcome Pheebs! Hope you stick around for awhile.
Hi again to the rest of ya!
So guess what? Last night I DID in fact have a Nicotine Patch dream. You are going to think I am lying when I relay it to you, but I promise it is for real. Each and every detail.
Here it is…
So I am sitting in a classroom with a bunch of people I have never met before. Let’s say that there were about 75 people. I have no idea why I am there except that I am waiting for the big news. Suddenly a 30ish woman walks in and starts calling out people’s names. She calls out 6 names and then I hear mine. I stand up and join the rest of the people in the front of the classroom. Everyone who didn’t have their name called get up and leave the room.
I look at the other 6 people and realize that they are the current case of Road Rules.
(The last thing I saw on tv last night before going to bed was Road Rules…so this does make sense)
The 7 of us leave the classroom and immediately rush off to this hotel to do our first mission. We are all laughing and getting along as though we have been on the road for months. In fact, I think that at this point of the dream, we HAD been on the road for months. We get to the hotel and settle into a corner of the lobby. We look around the room and notice that there are about 15 other Road Rules teams waiting for further instructions, just as we are doing.
Eventually, this horrible looking man with HORRIBLE hygiene gets up in front of all of us and tells us that we have to drink beer and talk to each other for two hours.
THAT’S THE MISSION????
AMAZING! Cuz I am SO good at that.
We hang out and drink. We laugh, we joke, I have the best time of my whole life.
At some point, I look around the room and realize that all of the other teams have been eliminated. WE HAVE WON! WE WON THE MISSION!
How did we win? I have no idea.
But I know we won!
YAY!
We are all overjoyed and then I realize that Eli (this guy I work with) is missing from our group. Now, he wasn’t in the original casting, but at this point we are all freaking out that we have lost him. Rachel, from Road Rules, says to me: “Joe, you go find him. He likes you best.”
I get up and go down the hall of the hotel. I open this random door to Eli with his head on this wooden desk. He is crying hysterically. I ask him what’s wrong, but he won’t answer. I start to get really upset too. I ask him over and over if he wants to talk or if I should get the rest of the team. He says: “No”, then gets up and walks over to me. He puts his arms around me and just stands there hugging me. I hold him while he cries and then I wake up.
Jigga what???
When I had the Eli/Nicotine dream last time, he was the sexiest beast on earth. But last night wasn’t like that at all. He wasn’t cute or sexy or anything. He was just Eli. But he broke my heart and OH GREAT! I woke up being in love with him again! Last time this happened, it took me 3 days and him dressed up in a chicken costume to get over it.
Oh Lord.
What could this dream mean?
Eli’s mom is in the hospital because she is battling breast cancer. Do you think I should talk to him about it? Do you think that I should ask him to go get drinks or something, just to get his mind off of a few things?
I don’t know him very well and the whole situation is just weird. He is a sweet kid, but am I comfortable enough asking him what the deal is?
I don’t know.
I think I will write him and email later just to let him know that I am thinking about him.
In any case…I laid in bed for about 20 minutes this morning thinking about Eli and WISHING that I was a member of this season’s Road Rules. In my mind, they were MUCH cooler than they really are. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I think that they could be my favorite Road Rules Cast ever. Fuck that. They ARE my favorite Road Rules cast ever. I just love em.
So that’s that.
As I type this, Ari is in our boss’s office discussing her future at our job. For her sake, I hope they fire her so that she can finally get her ass in gear and get out of this slum that we work in. She takes so much shit from these people and it’s about time that she moves on. It’s what’s best for her. I assure you.
GO ARI!
I dropped off my headshot/resume/thank you card to my new friend GIGI. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that she will make me famous! She has the power to do so! So give it up!
This student just told me about this test that was conducted somewhere. (I wasn’t listening at the beginning of her story) In the test, they took self-proclaimed homophobes and also self-proclaimed non-homophobic heterosexuals, hooked them up to these shock type therapy things and made them watch gay porn. And of course…the homophobes got shocked repeatedly for being turned on by the whole thing, while the non-homophobes got away free of charge!
Figures, right?
Well anyway…
I hope everyone has a decent rest of their day.
Mine gets better the minute I lock myself in my bedroom to run monologues!
WHOO WAH! I might be an actor afterall!
