I Murdered Skye & Then Got Lost (Awkward Glimpses of Now)

February 12, 2013

Making videos, to one day come to a blog near you.

  • I’ve decided to do a short series of videos. I shot a few this past weekend with Lindsey. There was much awkwardness to be had. I’m sharing this with you so I don’t chicken out and hide them on my external hard drive and then block out the memory. (You know it’s embarrassing when I’m hesitant to share it with the world.)

 

  • A few weeks ago I sat down two of my friends and suggested they throw me an intervention. Mainly because I love banners and surprise, not-very-fun parties, but also because I’ve started constantly eating which may or may not be related to my really-rather-well-thought-out habit of repressing my emotions. Anyway, no intervention has since happened and now I’m in the position of probably having to throw my friends an Too-Lazy-To-Throw-Interventions intervention. We’re circling the rabbit hole over here, is all I’m saying.

 

  • Speaking of laziness, last night I had a dream in which I murdered Skye. Which I almost completely forgot, but then Allison gchatted me this morning to say she’d had a dream Skye dumped her boyfriend. Which was both completely fortuitous and maybe also a sign we both spend too much time subconsciously thinking of Skye. Anyway, since I’m now in a habit of sharing my personal, not-terribly-interesting Allison conversations with the world, enjoy.

Allison: I had a terrible dream last night
Skye and Justin broke up before this summer
and so we couldn’t set him up w Mike!

me: OMG
I”D COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN
UNTIL YOU JUST SAID SOMETHING
but I had a dream last night
in which I murdered Skye

Allison: hahahahahaha
bad night for her
I mean, mine wasn’t actually so bad for her, more for Justin’s soul mate
how’d you do it?

me: poison
also?
the reason?
was I didn’t want to go out that night
we had theatre tickets
and I was like
ugh
don’t feel like it
but right after
I felt really, really bad
and then someone went into her room to wake her up
and she totally got up
and I was like, woah, Skye’s immune to poison
though i figured
maybe it was still working
but she used her inhailer and I was like, poison antedote!
it was really strange

Allison: hahahaha
awesome
good to know you’ll kill someone for laziness

me: I know, right?
worst reason to kill someone ever
seriously
it was crazy

Allison: lol
eh, I mean, you were tired
and didn’t want to go out
and obviously a fight would have been lot of work
poison you dont have to listen to her complain about it
hahahaha
how was Costco?

me: hahaha
as if you don’t know the answer to that
I didn’t go
you know
the murderous laziness

  • The other night I brought my dad over to my new place. I can’t remember why, I was probably forcing him into some manual labor, but I was driving and he said it’d be great to see how I got there – give him a good idea of the best route to take. Long story short, I took the wrong road, then took about ten minutes to realize it, then drove around lost for a while. I’m blaming the Canadians.

In case it wasn’t clear during the Allison conversation

Mike is an 0ut-of-town friend

Who would be an ideal BFF for Justin

At least

According to us

They seem less than interested

In our friendship machinations

Though I can’t imagine why,

I had a recurring dream where I assassinated (then) president GWB, and then hid out in the woods until everyone forgot to look for me. So, rather than “murder because of lazy” what does it say that, somewhere in my subconscious, I’m convinced that anything will be fixed by the laziness of others?

Never had a “I murdered someone” dream, but with the pregnancy, I’ve dreamt about people doing the opposite of what I know they would do and would wake up so upset over it. Lol.

It’s easy to blame the Canadians, sometimes they really are at fault.

Well. That was terrifying. And enlightening.

The other night I dreamt I had turned my alarm off and slept in. This resulted in me panic waking myself up several times mostly around 4am. I don’t recommend it.

On the other hand I think it is totally fine to fix friends up with each other. After all I’m sure you know best!

I suspect having dreams about killing your friends might, just possibly, increase their motivation to throw you an intervention. In which case, you’re on the right track!

Speaking of… MURDER…
try not to be alarmed, but… your tripod might be in danger. Now that my jealous tripod with a broken leg-lock-thing has seen it.

Hey, my tripod can take care of himself.

He’s seen some things, that’s all I’m saying.
