Eye as usual, a weird one...

While resting this afternoon I had an interesting dream involving the Finn's trip.

I was in some sort of giant room filled with maps, and on the central map on the table I was watching a glowing dot snaking its way across the country (it was the Finns). I was surprised because the route they were taking back east was more northerly than I expected. On one hand I was happy as I realized they would be coming back to Omaha, but on the other hand I knew they were wishing to go through Texas to New Orleans and I wondered why they were off course.

My phone rang and it was Nog, and he explained to me that all their maps were stolen, their GPS was broken, and no one in that area could help them get back on the right road because no one understood Finnish. But just after he said that, I heard him exclaim, "Boro!" and then he said, "No worries, Boromir happened to be passing this way and he can help us out."

I continued to watch their travel path on the map, and now it was headed south through Colorado, heading for Texas. "All right. Back on track now," I thought. But then a PM from Nog popped up on my screen which read, "No phone service any more, but Boro helped us out. He said many great things about going to South Bend to see Notre Dame, so that's where we are headed."

I PMed back quickly saying, "Um, just where do you think Notre Dame is?" seeing as they were going the wrong direction. He PMed back, "Boro said it was in Idaho, which according to his map is just a few more hours south of here."

There were so many things wrong going on that I wasn't sure where to begin, but I decided that perhaps I would just say nothing, seeing as they were in fact back on the course they had originally intended to take. So, I PMed, "Well done. I'll meet you in South Bend," and prepared to leave for my cousin's house in Austin, Texas, with the intention of intercepting Nog and friends when they arrived there looking for Notre Dame.

But just before I left I stopped and wondered, "What if, after I leave, Greenie PMs to consult on the route?" (we had discussed this previously), and in answer to my question a PM from Greenie popped up on the screen- "I can't PM you- I'm asleep."

Relieved, I hopped in my vehicle and set out for Texas (aka Idaho, aka South Bend).

That is all.

Well, I can't say that the dream I had last night related to other Downers (other than the fact that I was sleeping with other Downers at another Downers house), but I can say that it had something to do with the Barrow-Downs.
I had this dream last night that I went to bed with about 1820 posts (like I have now) and went to sleep (to have dreams about Aganzir, I'm pretty sure) only to wake up and find that I had reached the 2000 post mark. I don't know how I got there or how I managed to make that many posts whilst asleep, but I know that those posts were good posts and there were a lot of them. It was exceedingly strange.

I had another dream two nights ago that involved Aganzir, Ka, and Lauri. I don't remember really anything about it other than Aganzir was doing something dastardly and we all enjoyed watching her do it.
Funny how Downers who you spend some time with find their way into your sleeping mind.

...Are you sure that wasn't a dream and actually something she did to the vampire-folk of Forks? Or that we all did?

I was mostly worried all of you would hear me say something in my sleep and it'd be too weird, even for the barrowdowns.

Perhaps that bit was based off of reality.

I sleep as sound as a log during the deep hours of the night. I move around a lot, but nothing really bothers me. Not that anything you would have to say would be any weirder than what I have said.

So this morning, I was up at about 9am after going to bed at like 3am (oh summer, what have you done to my sleeping patterns!?!?) and decided I was going to take a nap.

Once I fell asleep I somehow drifted back to the land that was Bostonmoot, back in Nienna and Brinn apartment. Only difference was that for some reason, their apartment was in Toronto, Ontario, and not Boston, Massachusetts. And for some reason, I had a bought a ticket to go down to go see the Finns but I never bought a ticket to go back home. I remember that I was sitting at the kitchen table with Wilwa and Boro for sure and I believe Rune, Shasta and Alona were all standing in the kitchen and Wilwa and I were supposed to leave the next day to go home. Only problem was I didn't have a previously paid for ticket OR money to buy one. And I kept saying stuff like "I didn't want to buy a ticket because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to go!"

I also vaguely remember Fea phantom, Brinn, Nienna and Formy all walking into the kitchen at random points just to listen to my madness.

Oh, and the Finns never showed up :P
