Sometimes, dreams are weird.

[mercat]

So yesterday night I had this dream where I was in warmup with Southwind. We were in a really warm place and it was the whole brassline but it was a really small group of people. And it wasn't this summer, because there were some newbies, who were really annoying smartasses like Mickley was, except that all the ageouts from this summer were there, too. So anyway we were in rehearsal and this kid kept mouthing off, and we all sort of rolled our eyes. (Now that I think about it we were in a reverse arc, too. Weird.) And then Ivan showed up to teach us visuals, except that we didn't do any visual rehearsal. For some reason our trumpet tech from this summer was sort of teaching visuals on the side as well? And so for some reason we were getting ready to go on straight from that field and they handed us these blue tops with black pants and I guess we were supposed to put on these black pants. So for some reason I went off and ran to the bathroom to change (what?) and as I came out the hornline was in a block passing and Ox ran out of the guy's bathroom too so we just fell in line behind the block, and grandma and Barb and other people were standing by watching us. (The bathrooms were in this little breezeway entrance to the field which must have been in a hil or something... sort of like PA or AZ?) Anyway, then Ox and I realized that our uniforms were blue (which through the whole dream I was thinking "Blue for Bluecoats, but these aren't really the Bluecoats'" and then when I wa talking to my dad yesterday he mentioned Spirit of Atlanta, and yeah they were Spirit's unis from last summer. The baby blue ones with the (black?) sequin panel, only these had light blue sequins on the panel for some reason. ANYWAY.) but everyone else had the regular yellow SW unis on! Which I had to have a sort of double-take because Southwind wasn't fielding this year? And I thought maybe Bluecoats(/Spirit) was funding us but they wouldn't have let us wear our colors because we'd have to march for them as a junior corps...? So I started sort of freaking because I'm not the fastest uniform changer, so I ran back to the bus and grabbed my yellow jacket thinking they'd given us their old unis to wear the black pants, so I just took off the jacket. Then I realized that the yellow coat had my pants from this summer which fit me so well so I said "I guess not, that's sort of weird" and went ahead and changed into it and ran to catch back up. And I remember wondering if the visuals that Wilson had taught us were going to be in tonight, and for some relation to the show they were these GIGANTIC plastic dollar-store flip-phones. It was as big as my head! Anyway.

Huh, I remember before that dream I had a dream I was on a campus that was sort of UD's, but not really, and I was inside the KL-building except it was new and shiny and reminded me of the Indy mall, but whiter in design. (You could see all the way up to the top level where there was a glass roof, I think.) And I was back in high shool, sort of, and the whole building was kind of like walking around Carroll. So it was religion class time or volunteer time or something and I had run off to see these presenters and see if they needed help. They were in a room right off the atrium that had lots of windows and only one fully white wall, so I guess that people in the atrium could watch a class going on. So anyway I had skipped checking in with my teacher/prof and went straight here, and for some reason I was sort of in my SW uni and sort of in my SW corps jacket? And it was two guys from Santa Clara Vanguard giving the presentation. And so I was behind their table helping but they didn't really notice that I marched because for some reason my SW stuff was sort of invisible to them or something, and then my class came in and got bored after a few minutes so they left and I helped the guys bring all their stuff out to their truck down a back hallway (it sort of reminded me where we ate lunch down in Fairfield HS this summer).

Yeah, so I don't know why I had two dreams (though the latter written came first) about corps so much, I didn't have anything to do with corps the day beforehand, but usually I can figure out which parts of my dreams were just my brain processing which parts of my day.

And then last night I had a weird dream where a whole bunch of my schoolmates from St. Brigid were at this... hotel... except it was right next to the lake in Shawnee Park, sort of, and we were hsoting some sort of event. And we were all running back and forth between the table by the lake and our rooms sharing food and everything, and people wanted veggies (Ryan said something) so I told him my mom had made her broccoli-coleslaw-with-ramen-crunchies (because he wouldn't have known if I'd called it Wright Wride Salad) salad, and I opened this silvery pretzel-bag (like the ones that pretzel puzzle came in) and showed him the salad, which he didn't want, and I noticed it had tiny blueberries in it, too. (And I remember saying, "oh, there are blueberries in it.") And I remember they tasted surprisingly really good, but IRL I don't think they would at all. Anyway, so we're running back and forth and there was a lot of discussion over foods that I can't remember, but it came time for some festival which started by the school-style pool the hotel owned. So we went down there and were discussing this festival and how it was celebrated out in the country or something and then these guys ran off with really expensive jewelry we owned? Or something. And I told everyone they'd stolen my grandma's wedding ring and I chased after the guy, and I chased him out through the side turning-door and into the balcony-garden, where he sort of fell over a bush and gave up, sort of on purpose, and it really made me wonder why they were giving up. (Did they want a fight?) So I snatched the box and the ring from him (which looked really weird--the stone was two levels and very boxy) and sniped at him and then went back inside and asked Grandma if one ring had been hers, the boxy-stoned one, and it wasn't, and then inside the box was the real ring. And then after a while I had woken up and went back to sleep or whatnot and corps people were back in this weird park/facilities/campus place and we were sort of waiting to leave...? And Wilson was there again, and I said hi in passing or something, and I know there was more but I just can't remember it.

Man. I am trying to get better at remembering to write down all my dreams because I don't think I did it once all semester and I know I had lots of good ones and that makes me sad. ='(

I still have ones from this summer to write down, even! Need to do those.

I am really sad though, there's apparently some thing with Marcus theaters not playing Sweeney Todd? So I would have to drive to Newport to see it. =( And it's the next Paramount flick and they didn't release the trailer with I am Legend, and I REALLY think AND hope it's coming out with National Treasure (which I am seeing Thursday at 11:59 pm) because that's the right audience even though it's a Disney flick, I mean Disney owns Paramount so, honestly?! Argh. And I'm sad Paramount no longer owns Kings Island. Then there will be no Indiana Jones ride like was rumored, I will just have to keep riding Adventure Express though they won't play the music anymore--='( -- and Tomb Raider which what will they call it?! Argh.

So if the Indy IV trailer comes out with Sweeney Todd I'm going to be angry. If it doesn't come out with either Sweeney Todd OR National Treasure I think I'm going to flip my lid. Seriously The Dark Knight has their trailer out and they're seven months away! I understand Lucas and Spielberg want it to be a big secret but YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE. And you put the poster out this week and it looks so good so PLEASE!!!!! Grr.

And also, what do you think would be a good gift idea for my sister? She works at Hollister so she buys all the clothes she wants, and she didn't have any movies or CDs she wanted. I was thinking maybe a "boyfriend gift basket" since she and James have been going out more steadily and they rent movies a lot, so I'd put maybe Hollywood gift certificates and popcorn and some candy in it. But I don't know what she'd like! And I don't know if she'd think that was lame, or if she'd want something just for her rather than her AND James. =/ And my mom was telling me that Aunt Dawn told her that James had a crush on her for the longest time which I think is HILARIOUS because we've known the Butlers for almost as long as Max and Kyle have. Just one of those weird things about life, I guess.

National Amusements will still have Sweeney Todd ^_^ There's three of them in the Dayton area. I'm going to see it on Christmas Day!

Awesome! Turns out Regal has it, so maybe they fixed whatever the deal was? I was kind of surprised when they weren't going to be showing it last week, that seems like a lot of money lost to competitors.

But, yay! I really want to see it. =)
