Jul. 26th, 2001 09:51 amSo while standing in the train station last night on the way to the bookstore, something amazing happened.
I was in a good fcking mood.
Who knew?
So anyway, I went to the bookstore, and Br___ was very kind and bought me dinner from Andie's. And the store gave me a bottle of wine as a going-away gift. I was quite touched by the card, too, but I'm a sap that way. Last night I worked with Ja___ for the first time, and she was really cool. And then I felt all flattered, because after we closed up, she gave me a piece of paper with her name and contact info and was like "we should hang out -- and when your gf comes back the 4 of us can have dinner" (the 4th person being her gf). She's also a freelance writer, so I'm passing her info along to Damon so they can talk shop.
Anyway, I went home and chatted with Damon for awhile, did a reading which was really confusing, then went to bed. I woke up all early this morning, even before the alarm, and went by the new place to find MelRo's tax returns. Got to work well before 9 am and even did some productive things, like calling the Ohio supreme court. yee-haw.
Last night I had a dream that I met Ridley. It was a weird combination of out conversation yesterday where we talked about visiting out respective cities and my plans to meet up with Ry on Saturday. Anyway, in my dream, I talked to Ridley on the phone and we made plans to meet later in the day. I was sitting at work, which was my home which was where I lived with the cast of 3rd Rock from the Sun (???). And he was out jogging, and I saw him from across the street and I thought " I think that's Ridley" since I was basing my guess on his LJ pic. Then I noticed him staring at me, so I waved. He ran over and was like "I thought that was you!" So we stood and talked a minute, then parted since we were going out together later. I went back in the house, and I was trying to figure out where he was going to sleep in the house while visiting, because all the bedrooms were filled with the folks from the TV show.
The other moment was when I was talking to Ridley and I was thinking "wow, he's a lot smaller in person." Like I was expecting him to be my height or taller, but I actually had a few inches on him in the dream. Very bizarre.
So Ridley, I guess your the man of my dreams. Or something.
Actually, I'm sort of surprised that an LJer has taken so long to appear in my dreams, since I tend to often dream about real-life goings-on mixed with surreal symbols and such.
Oh, and then this morning, Di___ shows up to work with my friend Kat____ in tow! I haven't seen her in person in over a year and a half! We've talked via e-mail several times, and have been trying to connect with each other but she's one of the busiest people on the earth. So anyway, we chatted a bit, and we're going to try to meet up next Monday. And apparantly she's straight now. Wha? Hmmm.... Can't wait to hear this story.
Alright, I have to go back to fixing footnotes and buildling the table of authorities. I'm still feeling remarkably good. And it's Thursday, on top of it all, which means the weekend is almost here.
