Dreamy

I had a dream last night. I've heard that what is important in a dream is how you feel, but i am really trying to hold on to the images from this one. Last night my subconcious constructed my perfect man. I dont know if its a good thing or not, but the guy in my dreams was actually the 'man of my dreams'... wierd right? i remember exactly what he looked like, what he wore, what he smelled like. He was hot, but not crazy hot. tall and not too tall. He had a lot of grayscale tattoos his upper chest and upper back and upper arms and shoulders. He was muscular but not chiseled. I wont go into anymore detail.

Anyhow, so if what is important is how a dream makes you feel, i guess i will write that down too. He and i only spent a little time together. When we met in the dream we didnt know each other but after just a short while we were inseperable. Like all through this dream he was somewhere near me. We didnt talk and there was nothing romantic about the dream, but anytime something would happen i would look around and he would be nearby and it made me comfortable.

I guess this post is more for me than anything else. I am writing my dream down so i dont forget it. It must be some pathetic side effect of being single for too long when your mind starts just making up guys for you to crush on.

Reintroductions

Well, its been an aweful long time since the last time i posted. Things have been happening to me all crazy. this post will just have to be a general update.

First, i have been spending a lot of time writing. This will probably really suprise people that know me well. Anyone that knows me knows i am a woman of words and action, not quiet introspect and writing. But i have been writing short personal pieces and its helped me through a lot of things and also helped me become a better writer, which originally was the purpose of this blog, but i lost sight of that. So i will be doing my writing here from now on, i hope that i can promise a higher standard for quality of technique in coming posts.

Second, i am still single. I never thought it would last this long. Noone wants to hear me whine about relationship troubles so i wont, but i am saying, thats all.

Third, i turned 21! It was nothing big. Anyone in college has been pretending they were 21 since they got here so i didnt have any huge celebration or anything. I had a great dinner with my parents and spent some time with some friends. My weekend after was a little wild but there are very few witnesses to that effect so i dont feel obliged to fill my readers in. You will just have to use your imagination... or better yet, dont!

Fourth, i got a new bike! maybe that isnt as exciting to some people as it is to me but i got a refurbished track bike (fixed single-gear) and i am learning how to ride it. I am doing well, but i havent mastered the skid-stop yet so i still need my front brakes. I will probably keep them on after i am a better rider just for safety sake or if i want to resell, but soon i wont need to use them!

Finally, i got my own place! i am moving to an apartment on the western edge of center city and i can not wait! I sign lease this week. I am quitting my job as an RA (freeing up a spot for all you hopeful spring hires) and striking out on my own. I will have info on my housewarming soon.

So thats really the gist of things. Thigns are generally thumbs up with me. I am trying to focus on the sunny side for a while. I am finding myself very introspective and that will probably show up in my blog at least for a while. I know journal-like blogs can be boring, but just bear with me for a while and i promise i will snap out of it.

Always always,

Morgan :-)
