Channel Surfing

Usually the night before I leave for school I don't sleep at all. Last night I slept soundly, just with nightmares. :-P

I kept shifting between two dreams that I don't think were related. In one, I was standing in a place like Wal-Mart, only they were selling all sorts of strange warning items. I ended up talking to two middle aged people who weren't sure how necessary it all was, but they were making some points about how confused and misguided "today's youth" is, and how someone really needs to do something about it soon. The only thing that was nightmareish at all was that I was basically trapped there, listening to this completely depressing conversation about how dumb my generation is and how nobody took any precautions at all with us, and how they might have to go back and teach us some kind of lesson. Whenever I got really frustrated and wanted to wake up, it would switch over to the other dream.

In the other one, my grandfather had died. For most of it, I was just in the car with my Mom driving to the funeral home. As soon as I got really upset, I'd hit the other dream again. I finally woke up for real when we arrived at the funeral home, and were getting out of the car to walk into the place where they prepare the bodies.

Um, in other news, I think it's actually going to be a good year (more on that later...)
