Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you, a late night conversation

Lactaid Lady: played by Me
EOR1313: played by Mary

EOR1313: damn it Colleen! now i have "your song" in my head
Lactaid Lady: snap
EOR1313: antisnap
EOR1313: [i felt like that needed a comeback, and really, what is a comeback to snap?]
Lactaid Lady: truely a statement to ponder about
EOR1313: i suppose i could have gone with unsnap
EOR1313: but that sort of sounds like i'm stripping
Lactaid Lady: but it does roll off the tongue a bit easier
EOR1313: yes, but it doesn't exactly have the comeback attitude
Lactaid Lady: not the same punch as Anti-snap
EOR1313: instead of "hey, check yourself before you wreck yourself," it's like "hi, let me undress for you"
Lactaid Lady: but that almost sounds political
Lactaid Lady: yes, I am anti-snap
EOR1313: i see your point
Lactaid Lady: so what else could be the arch nemi of snap?
EOR1313: hmm
EOR1313: snap back!
Lactaid Lady: mmmm...no, not so much, that sounds like 80s slang
Lactaid Lady: whats the opposite sound of snap?
EOR1313: i suppose one could always retort with "your mom"
Lactaid Lady: the perfect all purpose come back
Lactaid Lady: if we ever had to advertise phrases, that's what the slogan for it would be
EOR1313: true story

(Curtain)

Ok I got a bunch of stuff to discuss.

First, went to the doctors to finish up shots for India. Meg came with me, thank god otherwise I would have been a complete mess; one from the paperwork and two from the shots. I dislike getting them like many ppl, but I tense up and close my eyes and go "AHHH!" when they hurt. It's quite a sight to behold.

The malaria immunization is in the form of pills and I had two choices. I could take one each day but run the risk of an upset stomach and since my stomach already blows I went for the once a week dose. But ready for these side effects? Weird dreams OR halucinations! SCORE! When the dr said that I was close to saying to Meg, I'll be trippin' out of my mind, as if a hippy would say it. But I figured the DR might think I really did drugs and it would be awkward to explain that I only joke about it. She would never believe me.

Oh and BONUS....the Dr's name was Niziol, but pronounced Nizzle. How amazing is that?

That's all for now.

Last night I had some crazy dreams. Mostly because I had to direct a big project today for a major production class. It's basically a music video and I chose the song, Material Girl by the one and only Madonna. There is all this pre production work, like camera angles and lighting and all that jazz. I got everything done. But I was nervous about it b/c it was more difficult than things we had done before.

So I go to bed all anxious. And I had dreams of missing the class, which is at 8am. Then I'd dream about getting lost is some crazy office at the school and being late to class. Each time I would wake up and think, just think of something else, and as I'd begin to sleep the lines, "Living in a material world, and I am a material girl" would float into my head.

But the dream that takes the cake is the one where I was pregnant. Don't worry, it wasn't mine. I was a surrogate mother. And I had been pregnant for about a month or so. Now I know they say you cant really feel in dreams but my body felt diffferent, weighted down a little. My thoughts were, oh I forgot to tell my mom about this. Then I was worried that people in school would think I got knocked up and stare at me, meanwhile I was just doing something nice for someone.....When will people learn to understand. Best part is that I woke up and had to realize that I wasnt really pregnant.

Silly dream.

There is someone at my school who has the last name of Westerhorstmann. How unfortunate....
