july 28
There is this party going on at Pitt, near the snackbar right outside the cafeteria. I am working there with Maria, Mark, and Dana. We are behind these widely-spaced, blue bars, and hand people food through them. The party ends all of a sudden and everything starts closing up. There was a concert that we were supposed to go to but I don't want to, and so Dana and Maria suggest this weird hidden room in the school. To get there, we have to go through this slot in the wall that we had to go through sideways, and when you got in, everything was upside down. There was some video game you had to play but I was having a hard time because I was getting dizzy. I'm at Rose's house very early in the morning, and her mom is at work. I'm telling Rose about the dream I just had about the school thing. I'm going to a four-year college and I live in an apartment with my boyfriend (?). We're using some computers in a lab that looks just like my living room, except for the row of computers against the wall across from the windows. My boyfriend is sitting the middle between me and another guy on his left. They start arguing so I trade with my boyfriend so I'm between them. I like the other guy and we're kind of flirting so right then and there I break up with my boyfriend, who is pretty much okay with it except he tells me I have to move out of the apartment. There is this Hawaiian guy in the lab who tells me that he has an empty house I can stay in for a while. I'm walking around campus with Rose and Maria. Maria wants to find a bathroom, and we find two, but the signs are weird and we can't figure out which one is for guys and which one is for girls. We finally find it, but it turns out to be this weird cafeteria in a hospital. There is this one huge rolling container of 'candy shrimp' (?) because that's all one of the patients can eat. This one nurse talks about this baby who had gotten stung by a bee before it was born, which confuses everyone else. Jennifer is there, filling out this form because she wants to run for school president. She tells me that I should as well, but you have to be 18 and in the dream I am still 17. I'm with Rose and Maria, and we're at the mall. Maria works at Gottschalks and it's her shift but she doesn't want to go. She and Rose run past her department and into the next one, which is bed-type things, and they jump onto this huge display bed. I catch up and start jumping on it too. There is a guy sitting at a computer nearby, telling us we're not supposed to, but we ignore him. Some guard comes over and tells us to stop so we do, but we also rat out the guy who isn't supposed to be using the computer, and laugh at him. I'm back in high school and it's third period. I'm supposed to have PE but I don't want to go so I just walk around, passing several administrators & such along the way, none of them noticing or caring. I finally end up just sitting on these huge, metal bleachers. The period ends and they start to close the bleachers up. There is one girl sitting there who has a bunch of loose papers that she keeps dropping. Zach, Dana and I are talking about our schedules, and Zach is saying how he's had classes with the same group of girls since elementary and he's tired of it. I'm walking around with Maria because she wants to find a room where they keep certain records, so that she can destroy hers.

It's Thanksgiving and Rose is at my house. My entire family are vampires and my parents had gone out to get some blood and to the hardware store. They bring back the blood in cups, like from a fast food restaurant. This kid calls on the telephone and asks me, "What's it like to be obese?" I don't say anything and he hangs up. I am about to put the phone back in the cradle but it rings so I answer it. There is no one there, just a bunch of strange sounds, and I can't shut the phone off. I'm at school, in some history class. The class is getting into groups to do a project but I decide to work by myself.
