The reason i ask is that i have recurring dreams...and not your usual kind (ie flying or walking naked into class though i've hadthose.) My most vivid recurring dreams actually are about reading books.
Now ordinarily that's not weird in and of itself. But in my dreams i pick up books i've never seen/read before and just start reading. Page after page of something i've never encountered before and yet i know every word contained within them. Sometimes the books are familiar (Shakespeare and the like) and sometimes they're just anonymous books.
I find it bizarre though that my mind is able to come up with page after page of material i read aloud in my dreams that makes sense. The bummer about the whole thing is that as soon as i wake up, i forget the words but remember the impression that the words gave me. I can remember moving my lips and uttering things that made sense, just not what they are.
Last night i had a similarif different dream. In this dream, for the first time, i was the one *making* the words. I wasn't reading but writing andpublic speaking andthe stuff coming out of my mouth i can remember as being the Tiffany Crystal of poetry in prose. Unfortunately, upon waking i forgot everything i said, but i remember the feeling of saying it and the realization that what i was saying in my dream was astounding in its articulate-ness and beauty.
Now if only i could remember more than fleeting glimpses into this corner of my mind. I guess what i'm wondering is what these dreams are trying to tell me. I've been toying with the idea of becoming an English teacher for a while which would tie in with this, but also, maybe it's my mind's way of telling me i have limitless untapped potential if i just looked within myself and freed it.
If this is what i'm getting out of my dream, then it does have meaning, but even if it's intrinsically and wholey meaningless my own tendency towards self analysis is giving it meaning. I'm creating meaning or discovering meaning for myself, but maybe there's something more to it. I wonder. In any case it's something worth looking into.
Got a big week this week. Docotr appointment on wednesday morning (the lump seems smaller and i think it just may be an ingrown hair, but i'm going to bring it up anyways.)
Thursday isee the SG Burlesque Show in Cleveland. Mini gripe here: why the fuck is it stopping in that asshole shaped pothole on the road to hell that is Cincinatti and not Pittsburgh? Cleveland i can understand, but not skipping the 'Burgh.
Then friday i come back here and hop on the car again for a road trip to visit myfriend in the Middle of Nowhere PA on our way to another road trip to Niagara Falls for a day or two of drinking, gambling and strippers. Plus some sightseeing thrown in there as well somewhere along the way. Should be fun.
Wow, this is like biblical in length here. Chapter 12, Verse 14 of the Book of Max16Characters. And ye i say to thee that Max12Characters beget Max13Characters and Max13Characters beget Max14Characters and Max14Characters beget Max15Characters and Max15Characters beget Max16Characters and thus was brought to the SG Website our author of this glourious Journal. Deliver us from Boredom Amen.
Ok, i'm done now

i actually went to burlesque when it came here. it was fun but it really made me want to perform!!! there's something about watching girls dance and strip that makes me want to dance and strip. i think i'd be too shy though.

Hello, I changed my name.

yes, i'm actually rather shy and modest in person.. actually i think i spoke something along those same lines to you, didn't i? wish i was better at talking more to people. it was good to see you too, glad you came out.
it IS weird that they'd go to cincy and not pittsburgh. what's in cincy? i've been there like one time and i live in this state. pittsburgh is way cooler. and there are more members there i think.
i would love to recommend some veggie information for you. if i may say so, even though you're not planning on going totally vegan, don't be turned off by a book that says "vegan" in the title (as most of my recommendations do), because it's going to have a lot of valuable information/recipes even if you just want to cut out meat only. honestly i'm not trying to push you all the way towards something you're not ready for, but these are just the books that *i* know of to have great information. that being said, you probably want not just recipes, but some background facts to make a well-informed decision should you decide to go through with it.
some of these books below have one or the other, some have both:
(while i was looking up the urls of books on amazon, i found one of those 'listmania' things that includes pretty much all the books i was going to tell you about:
amazon listmania "so you'd like to stop eating animals" and there are links to other 'lists' there too if you want to see what else is out there.)
this looks cool too although i haven't read it:
The Vegan Diet as Chronic Disease Prevention
also, you could join the Veggie Group here and lurk for a bit! people are often posting good recipes and sharing tidbits of info (we also bitch about meat eating a lot but that's mostly because we assume that everyone in the group is veggie and won't be offended/put off. so don't think we are a bunch of assholes or anything. hehe.)
I hope this aids you, I wanna give you a big hug for even considering it (i'm such a freakin hippie), and sorry for this super long journal comment. 
and oh yeah i had a really kickass portabello burger at Fuel and Fuddle like 5 years ago....you should see if they still have it.
