I'm at the house in Pittsburg, trying to smoke a cigarette, but I can't get it to light. The only fire I have is these weird burning checks, but when I hold the flame to the cigarette, it won't catch. I'm searching in a huge box for some matches. I'm watching "Law & Order", and Briscoe and Green are trying to find this little girl who was kidnapped. They end up walking through this weird, old cemetery (a lot of the headstones are broken) and this man has the girl in a cottage there. It changes and I'm investigating it myself. There's only a screen door on the cottage, and I can see inside - the man is in a back room, asleep, but if we woke up he could see me. The little girl looks a lot like I did when I was that age. I tell her that I want to go in and play with her, but we have to be quiet so we don't wake up her "dad." I keep trying to open the screen door but it starts to screech so I have to keep stopping. My plan is to just get inside and then run with her out the back door. The guy wakes up so I run off by myself. Later, I have him sonewhere, and I'm trying to hurt him. I keep hitting him and poking him with a broom but it's not doing anything. Someone else there makes him smell this weird poison stuff, and I think it's a good idea, that maybe it will kill him since nothing else seems to work. He leans over and he's going to puke on me on purpose, and I say, "It would be worth it to watch you die, you fat fuck." [Luckily I wake up before he vomits, though.] I'm with Dana and Maria at this store that sells mostly 'As Seen on TV' type of stuff. Maria buys this little fan and air freshener to put in her car. I get a few little things, including some Altoids, which the cashier doesn't ring up until I point out that my stuff should cost more than $3. We move up to the top floor of the building, which looks a lot like a beauty salon, with girls sitting in each chair. Each of them are sampling different party favors and things (like for a bachelorette party or other occasions). We want to go to a certain room in the building, and we have to go down this weird slide, and then we get turned into these brightly colored bouncing balls, and go through this tube before we come out and turn regular again. They tell us that we can call people on the phone and tell them if we didn't like it, but we're the ones who let them do it in the first place.

I'm at work and someone tells me I have to drive these two kids somewhere. I'm talking to their teacher over the phone and she tells me to just drive them around the park and around the neighborhood. She says that I should talk to them and hum under my breath because they don't understand French. I go to their classroom and it turns out they speak only French, and I'm trying to tell them that I can only speak a little of it, but I keep messing up the words. I go to this store that has all of these really fancy dresses (like for prom) but I find some cute, normal shirts so I'm planning to get some. I find a purple one for myself and a blue one that I think Maria will like. I'm picking some out when she and Dana show up. It changes where I'm at work and they come to visit me. I have my own office in the back, and my boss calls me to tell me that they can't stay there and I say, "I know." We hang up and I whisper to them about what she said. Maria has to leave anyway (but not after getting enrolled in the school?) but Dana gets annoyed and says my boss is a total bitch, and that she's not going to leave. I start to do something on the computer while Dana sits on a bed and watches TV, also looking through my diary. My boss comes in and gives me over $1,000 in cash and tells me she hopes I know what it's for, and I do. She's firing me. She also gives me a smallish piece of luggage that she says needs to be taken to the train station. She taunts me, saying I'll have nothing to do, no school or no job. I say that I'll find another, and we get into a huge fight (literally, punching and kicking each other).

I go to this party with some girl. She takes a blanket with her and leaves it in this room which is just a big closet with an attendant (some motorcycle type guy?) When we're leaving the party, the blanket isn't there anymore, and someone says that we never even brought one with us. I start getting annoyed because I know something is going on. There's this guy at the party named Luke, there with his girlfriend, and when we're leaving I find out that they killed somebody. Later I'm at home, and someone brings the blanket by. I know that they're going to use it to frame me for the murder (by putting blood on it or whatever). My mom is doing laundry and I convince her to wash the blanket, with bleach, hoping it will get rid of everything. I go into the living room and tell my brother and ?Mark? "Someone is trying to frame me for murder." I ask where Luke is, and it turns out he's been sitting there in the living room the whole time. I go sit on the couch and say "Hey" to him. He isn't being weird or evil, just tells me that the murder thing isn't true.

These two guys are asking me my opinion of some book. I haven't actually read it, I'm just looking at the layout. All of the pages are black and the writing is in all different fonts and sizes and colors (mostly blue, green, and orange). It's a bit hard to read and I would say so, but I'm afraid of the book not getting published just because of me. I'm at a thrift store with Dana and these two guys, one of whom is Justin Theroux. I keep calling him "Joe" like his character on Six Feet Under. They have a lot of neat stuff at the thrift store, and so Dana says she's going to keep shopping there even though she's going to be late to or miss her PE class. I say that we should go to the mall afterwards, because I always take a long time there. In the thrift store, we find these two weird old telephones. One has this huge silver button that is a direct link with the World Trade Center. The other phone has this morse code thing you can tap to send messages. I'm playing around with it and want to send a message, but the only letters I know are S and O (as in 'SOS'). I'm at home in the laundry room, and through the dog door I can see this weird animal outside. First it is a rat, but then it changes into a skunk, and then a cat which I have to make fun of before it will go over the fence and into another yard. I'm famous and someone has come to my old house in Pittsburg to interview me. Before the interview I have to take off my pajama pants and sit with a blanket covering my lower half.

I'm with this girl, her mom, and a few other people. They're driving me home, but then the mom changes her mind and heads back in the opposite direction. They're planning on going to some kind of touristy thing. I say that they can just drop me off wherever and I'll walk back home, but the girl invites me to go along so I do. We go into this gated community and go to this church service that is being held outside. At each seat, there is an Avon booklet with some free samples. There's some kind of form that everyone has to fill out. The girl turns into Maria, and there is some guy sitting behind her that keeps trying to read her form. This evil spirit calls me on the telephone. We've had this tracer/speakerphone hooked up so it's recording whatever I'm saying, and echoing it which is really eerie. I know the evil spirit is just waiting for the next time I go outside, so it can stab me and then take over my body. I keep yelling at it. I go to this house that is shared among several different people, since it's Tuesday and Tuesday is my night. Three people from earlier are still there, cleaning up and doing their dishes. I'm talking to one of the women about how Rose is supposed to have some kind of surgery. I'm with four other women, three of them white, and one of them black. We do this time traveling thing and end up in the past, wearing these really old fashioned clothes. We know we'll get into trouble if we're all seen in a group together, so we're all trying to run in different directions. I run into a house and find a little corner spot, but this old lady spots me. She has this pouch/fanny pack and I think maybe she has a gun in there, but she just has a weird little knife. I've just parked on the street at work, and there's another car about twenty feet behind me. This girl on rollerblades runs into my car and gets one of her legs all scraped up. She and the owner of the other car seat in the backseat of mine to wait while I go get bandages. They're offended when I take in my car keys with me. While I'm inside it turns into my house, and I decide to also get the three of us some pizza and some orange juice.
