Hallo, ween!

I've been laughing and tittering about this for hours.  I guess that makes me a bad person.  I'm totally okay with that.  ;P

Hallo, ween!

Hey, are you calling me a weenie? ;P BTW a "ween" in Dutch is someone from Vienna.

I guess that makes me a bad person.

Meh, they can't hear you anyway. ;P Besides, it's not like these people aren't reminded of their impending doom every day. People regularly die in rest homes. Must be weird making friends there and watching them croak one by one. Then new people come and they get to watch you wither. I doubt that those decorations can make their existence any more depressing than it is.

LOL!!! I couldn't resist the pun. ;P

I don't really think that. I was just responding to a FB friend who originally posted the pic. She said it was wrong on so many levels. I said that I guess I'm wrong, too, as I thought it was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing over it. ;P

I've always had a dark sense of humor and I don't care if peeps like it or not.

BTW, did you see what I wrote in the last comments thread?

I don't mind at all. It was an interesting read. Albeit a bit sad. I hope you feel a bit better now.

I actually still feel awful today. I feel like I'm going to hurl. :(

Anyway, keeping with the Halloween theme...

Last night(well, this morning)I had a terrible dream. I was riding in a car with this girl who was a classmate of mine in elementary school.(We were both adults in the dream.) She was driving and I was the passenger, except the steering wheel was on the right side like in the UK. We were going along and came to one of those massive tangled-looking interstate overpass interchanges where all the different ramps are going in all different directions and some are very high into the air. We were directly under all of them, all high above us. So we went to turn to go one way and I was looking in a different direction when the chick driving shouted out something like "Oh my g-d!" I turned to look and the pillars on one of the high overpasses were cracking in half and starting to fall down. We turned the car around and went to go in a different direction but all of the overpasses were crashing down on us. I remember thinking, "Shit! Am I going to get out of this?" as the car was about to be crushed and then I woke up. Scary as hell! And it was like 9:30am which is really early for me as I had gone to bed at around 1:30am. Anyway, I didn't try to go back to sleep after that. :/

Okay, that's a fittingly scary dream. Let's break it down.

this girl who was a classmate of mine in elementary school.

what does she mean to you? Have you ever met as adults? Why would you let her steer?

She was driving and I was the passenger

So you weren't in control of the situation.

except the steering wheel was on the right side like in the UK

A mirroring/reversal? Curiouser and curiouser. ;)

massive tangled-looking interstate overpass interchanges

Driving on those must be a confusing undertaking.

We were directly under all of them

They all went over your head, as it were? ;) Or you felt you were in over your head? Or both?

all of the overpasses were crashing down on us

That could be a reference to your situation getting out of control. You realize that if it does get to that point that you are then going to *have* to ask for some serious help, right?

I used to be friends with her and we share the same first name.

Have you ever met as adults?

No. She stopped going to my school before jr. high school IIRC. The last time I saw her was in HS when she stopped by the school to see some other students. I was no longer friends with her at that point and I might have just said hello in passing but didn't bother with a conversation.

Why would you let her steer?

IDK, I haven't thought about her in years.

So you weren't in control of the situation.

Correct.

Driving on those must be a confusing undertaking.

They are a nightmare in themselves. When I was a kid and we'd go to my grandmother's house, we had to pass one on I-95 by the 112 near downtown Miami. I used to call it "spaghetti and meatballs" because, well...

There is another one just as bad that I had to navigate when I worked in Ft. Lauderdale...well, 2 actually. One on the turnpike by I-595 and the other one on I-595 and I-95 by the FTL airport. The worst is the damn ramp heading northbound. It feels like it is about 150 meters into the air. I'm not afraid of heights but the thought of someone causing an accident up there and making you crash through the barrier and falling to your death gives me the willies. Brrr...

That could be a reference to your situation getting out of control.

Yeah it was pretty obvious to me that the dream was due to the stress I'm under due to the current situation. The feeling of it "all crashing down on my head" and being overwhelmed.

that you are then going to *have* to ask for some serious help, right?

Correct. I've concluded that I'm going to have to force myself to ask a friend if he could help me out. He knows some peeps with connections down here and there's a possibility that one of them might be able to help me out. You know how I *hate* to ask for help as it's like admitting to failure, but at this point, I don't have much of a choice. :/

Oh, it's another you. Maybe the new you. Or the you that you aspire to be. Or the you that you are afraid of becoming. That's so symbolic. :)

I don't have much of a choice. :/

Not having a choice does often make it easier to choose. Less hassle with the Momster, I bet. ;P

I think you'll do fine once you find a new job.

Are you doing anything with Halloween BTW?

Ooooh, I just thought of something! The other girl...my mother used to go on and on about how "gorgeous" she was, that she looked like Brooke Shields. It was like she was the daughter that my mother wanted. Yeah, I was the one that she was stuck with. So Miss Perfect Daughter, driving w/the steering wheel on the wrong side, gets us all killed in the damn car with damn freeway overpasses falling on us. Good going there, Miss Perfect! LOL

BTW, if I was driving we would be alive, cuz I know how to do some pretty sweet evasive maneuvers! ;P

Are you doing anything with Halloween BTW?

Nah, just stay in and watch TV. Oh! I had been searching for this satin panther mask that I had. I looked high and low in my bedroom for it and couldn't find it anywhere. I couldn't imagine having thrown it away but I gave up looking. Then, the other night when I was all stressed, I went to make myself a Pisco Margarita and I found the damn mask in the basement in the box that the bottle of Pisco was in! Anyway, that Pisco stuff is pretty vile(it was a gift). It gave me a terrible headache. :/

But back to the point...I had wanted to take a pic of me wearing the mask, so now I can! ;P

Hey Arekino, do you know how to juggle knives or chainsaws or other cool stuff like that?

I see. So she basically represents your mother (or her expectations and disapproval of you). Things are falling apart around you two and she's incapable of navigating you away from this mess.

if I was driving we would be alive

If only you were at the steering wheel. :)

Nah, just stay in and watch TV.

What are they showing that night? Anything good?

I had wanted to take a pic of me wearing the mask, so now I can! ;P

And pray tell what will you do with this pic?

I think you know the answer to that question. I still have all my fingers.. and hands.. and arms... :P

I have no idea. I think OUAT in Wonderland is on that night. If so, I'll watch that. I'm not really crazy about that show, but it's okay enough.

And pray tell what will you do with this pic?

Meh, I'm having second thoughts. I took it out last night and it's more shop-worn looking than I had remembered. I've had it for nearly 30 years and I'm amazed that it has survived this long. It didn't look very good when I put it on, not like I imagined. Maybe I'll throw together something steampunk looking for a pic. ;P

I think you know the answer to that question.

I only asked because I was watching a program called Oddities: San Francisco last night and there was a dude dressed like a pirate who was juggling knives. If you could do something similar you could theoretically be pimped out to places like Bayside and Key West to make moolah off the tourists! ;P ;P ;P ;D

BTW, I need to do a quick post on OUAT 3.05. They stole 3 more elements from my fanfic and Regina has one more of my traits. ;P

Alternatively I could just dance around in a monkey costume. Or a thong. :P

Okay, I'll just wait here then. :)

I'm a bit confused. How are you going to make moolah that way? Are peeps gonna pay you money to put your clothes back on? ;P ;P ;P

It might be a bit 'til the new post is up. Maybe by tomorrow. :/
