december 15
I'm back in high school, and the campus is in my dentist's office complex. It's the first day of school and I'm driving there, worried about being late. I get to one stoplight away, and have twelve minutes left before the first bell at 8:00. A student standing nearby says he wouldn't like to be in that situation. I get there and a bunch of us stand outside, waiting for the bell so we can go to our lockers. the bell rings, and Amanda and Zach and I try to go in. A woman comes out and tells us that we have to wait, because the FBI is inside, doing an investigation. She hands out some snacks - mostly ears of corn, and some red grapes - to people, then sees there are ants crawling on the food. She takes them back, then says she wonders what would have happened if she just bit into the food without looking. The school turns into a house that was remodeled by my mom and a group of other people. We go by one day, and I'm really bored, so I sit down and watch TV since the cable has already been hooked up. It's 2:45, and I see on the menu that there's going to be a show on NBC at 3:00 about a huge food fight. I'm out at night, on my way to a party, and stop by a diner to eat. The diner is really busy, and the waitress seats me at a table where other people have their stuff. There's a men's pair of glasses at my seat, and a money clip with some cash inside. The guy and his wife return, so I leave the table. The guy asks if anyone (meaning me) took his money, and I say that he should count it. I leave the restaurant with one of the waitresses, and a woman who co-owns the place. The woman owns a Hummer, and she gives me the key so we can drive somewhere. It's very high off the ground, and I have a hard time controlling it. I'm driving in the middle of hte road, and the woman is getting annoyed. I tell her, "I didn't ask for these keys, you gave them to me." I'm at a party at Peter's house. One of the other guests, a blond girl, asks me if there's any more of the Peet's holiday coffee left. She tells me to look in the fridge for a blue tin, but there's no more.

I'm out somewhere, and when I come back, I go into my room. On top of my computer tower is a big bowl of maggots eating something. I call for my mom, and she says they're making ice cream. I ask her, "Don't you think that's gross?" She says it's the best ice cream ever, really gourmet stuff. I tell her she shouldn't have put the bowl in my room, and that she needs to take it out, and also look around the carpet to make sure none of them escaped. Later, she and my dad are eating the ice cream, and she won't tell him where it's from. He calls a phone number on the side of the container and finds out what it is. I'm at either Best Buy or Barnes & Noble and I want to buy something, but the line is really long (at least 100 people). I'm leaving, and there's a young (12 or so) girl following me. She's wearing a bright pink pea coat, and a heavy lilac scarf. The whole time I've been at the store, I've seen her bugging people and stealing from them. I'm trying to walk away but she tries to hit me, so I grab her arm, twist it around and yell at her. A security guard comes and takes her away. I tell another guard that I'm searching for the medical examiner's office, because my brother (dream brother, not real) has just died. The guard sends me upstairs. I find the medical examiner just leaving, and I beg him that I need to see my brother today. He sends me to the waiting room, where I fill out a form. Some more people come: My "sister" (late 20's, tall and thin, dark brown hair, pretty, wearing lots of makeup - I look like her, we might be twins), my "mother" and some of my "brother's" friends. Before we go see the body, the M.E. brings over a huge bowl filled with snacks - mostly popcorn, some potato chips, and cookies (mini Oreos) - and scoops so we can get some for each of us. The M.E. opens the door, and it leads out into a huge backyard where my brother is. There's a large pool with the cover on, and dead leaves everywhere. My brother's body is on a lounge chair. He's wearing swim trunks and is holding one of those reflective sun things. I can't see any blood even though he was supposedly murdered, and I say it just looks like he's getting a suntan. My sister and I get into an argument, and almost fight. We both hold our fists up like we will, but then we both start crying and collapse into each other's arms. Our mom talks to each of us separately, and we find out later that she tells us the same thing: That to distract ourselves from our brother's death, we should pursue a relationship with this cute guy (a doctor?) who is about to divorce his wife. I'm in high school, and working at a movie concession stand with three other girls. We're filling up bowls with popcorn, and cups with sodas, because there's going to be a huge concert. We took the orders beforehand, and I tell the others that we should have written people's names on the cups - that it would be a lot easier when it's time to serve. My boyfriend is in the band, and I go to the locker room where they're getting ready to give him his snack and drink. He's changing and wearing only his boxers, and gets embarrassed, so I leave. I kind of hang around the locker room, though, because I still want to talk to him. I'm looking out a window (it covers an entire wall) and out onto a huge yard. My boyfriend's mom is also in the locker room, and she calls for me to come back and talk to him. We talk for awhile, and I look through a closet full of the band's outfits. One of the things there is a black leather jacket covered with Nazi and KKK symbols, and it makes me uncomfortable even though I tell myself, "None of them are really like that." My boyfriend and I start making out, and we want to have sex, but don't have a condom. He says it will be faster to order something online from Amazon and get some from them, than to go out to a store. He tells me to buy something cheap (under $35) and it'll arrive right away. I do a search for stuff under $25, and it comes up with a bunch of CD's I don't know. I finally just order a random one, but the order page starts asking for a bunch of information I don't know offhand (such as, what my bank balance was at the end of November). Later, we're filming a music video. My boyfriend is wearing boxers, I'm wearing a pink bra (with a small red rose on it) and panties, and another girl is there wearing the same lingerie. My boyfriend and I are laying on the floor together, hugging and limbs entwined, and the other girl sits nearby. The song goes like:
Me: "I love rock and roll with you"
Girl: "And I love rock and roll with you"
Boyfriend: (to me) "But I loved rock and roll with you first"
