Alright bloggers headed back to the Hunger Games based dreams! Last night there was a lot of chatter in my classes about the Hunger Games and I guess it stuck in my head. This time I kept dreaming in different peoples' perspectives. I don't actually think I was in the dream, I just followed different people around. Katniss, the protagonist, had just been drawn to participate in the Hunger Games and was training. Peeta was with her, but hadn't confessed his love yet.
Then my perspective changes from Katniss to last years winner, Tina. This wasn't actually in the book I think my head made it up. It was the end of the games and only four people remain. Tina is running around kind of recklessly not paying attention to the other competitors. The man that was in love with her ended up killing one of the competitors trying to sneak attack her. Tina, surprisingly had a nautical super power where she could send some sonic waves from her fingers as long as there was water nearby. She killed the last competitor and the only other person left she loved. So they ran out of the arena not looking back at anything. Of course the gamekeepers start chasing after them, and one in particular had it out for Tina's lover. They run down a set of escalators that they stop with a rose jammed into the machine. They continue out the glass atrium and out the doors into the daylight. Tina and her love run to a nearby high school during lunch time. Tina takes this time to blend in. She stops at a picnic bench and starts talking to some girls (one of the girls is my friend Tyler). The girls immediately see that she is in trouble and start trying to help her blend in. Lo and behold Tina's lover ruins it all. He stops at the same picnic bench and starts gushing about how in love with Tina he is, basically shouting it out to the world! The gamekeepers over hear the whole thing and grab them to return them to the games. Someone has to kill the other, there must be a winner. As they head back to the games the gamekeeper who hate's Tina's lover starts shooting at them! He shoots Tina first in the shoulder as she is ascending the broken escalator, but it looks like her heart. She falls feigning death. So he moves onto her lover, who is so distraught he isn't paying attention to the shooter. The shooter kills him instantly and Tina realizes she won! She stands up in victory, I guess she didn't really love him as much as he loved her.
Then the perspective changes back to Katniss. I guess they were reviewing the tapes of previous winners and Katniss didn't want to make the same mistake as Tina or the lover. Katniss went to returning on her killing skills, but she wasn't getting very far. That's when I woke up thinking, woah that dream lasted forever. It was intense and vivid and just heavy. I don't know if you can describe a dream as heavy, but it was just crushing me to my bed heavy.
That's all bloggers! Now ske-daddle!

For all my poetically minded friends
So I had an assignment in class last week, where we had to pick our favorite color and jot down how that color affects our 5 senses. So how do I see, hear, touch, taste, and smell the color pink? Since most of my followers post a poem every now and then I thought I would throw in my minimal poetry abilities!
Here's my homework and I actually kind of like it!
Here's my homework and I actually kind of like it!
Pink!
Pink marks my favorite things!
Dancing to a jumping party song,
Dying my hair like a rebel, and
Delicious foods I wish I could eat every day.
Sleeping in my favorite Victoria's Secrets pajamas,
Sniffing fresh blooming roses in my backyard,
Snorting little piglets who brighten my day, and
Sexy new shoes for a night out with my friends.
Reading books about overcoming the obstacles of love,
Writing with the most beautifully colored marker,
Running trying to catch snow on my tongue, and
Radically radiant ribbons in a little girl’s hair.
Pink marks my favorite things!
Lately,
So lately my dreams have been getting hazier, or they don't have any rhyme or reason to them. I actually don't fully remember last night's dream, I know it's in my cabeza somewhere, but for right now it's gone! I remember waking up and thinking nothing in my dreams made sense! The order of events made no sense and I have no idea where some of it transitioned. I read somewhere that on average humans have 5 dreams a night, so here's my guess: I think I remembered all FIVE of my dreams last night and that is why they didn't make any sense because they were all separate dreams!
The only snippet I can recall is one of my first dreams, I am standing atop a Trapeze Swing at a circus under the Big Top. I have an extremely stern serious face on, which doesn't make sense since I smile about 85% of my day! The Big Top was red with orange, yellow, and green accents. I was wearing a tight unitard costume that sort of resembled a Chihuly exhibit with lots of red and orange. I look down seriously towards the crowd and nod. That's all I've got of my five dreams of crazy randomness!
In honor of my dream, song of the day: Trapeze Swinger- Iron and Wine (one of the best ever!)
Please remember me, happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin, the time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill and up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention
But please remember me, fondly
I heard from someone you're still pretty
And then they went on to say that the Pearly Gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like 'We'll meet again' and 'Fuck the man'
And 'Tell my mother not to worry'
And angels with their great handshakes
But always done in such a hurry
And please remember me, at Halloween
Making fools of all the neighbors
Our faces painted white, by midnight
We'd forgotten one another
And when the morning came I was ashamed
Only now it seems so silly
That season left the world and then returned
And now you're lit up by the city
So please remember me, mistakenly
In the window of the tallest tower
Call, then pass us by but much too high
To see the empty road at happy hour
Gleam and resonate just like the gates
Around the Holy Kingdom
With words like, 'Lost and found' and 'Don't look down'
And 'Someone save temptation'
And please remember me as in the dream
We had as rug burned babies
Among the fallen trees and fast asleep
Beside the lions and the ladies
That called you what you like and even might
Give a gift for your behavior
A fleeting chance to see a trapeze
Swinger high as any savior
But please remember me, my misery
And how it lost me all I wanted
Those dogs that love the rain and chasing trains
The colored birds above there running
In circles round the well and where it spells
On the wall behind St. Peter
So bright on cinder gray in spray paint
'Who the hell can see forever?'
And please remember me, seldomly
In the car behind the carnival
My hand between your knees, you turn from me
And said the trapeze act was wonderful
But never meant to last, the clowns that passed
Saw me just come up with anger
When it filled with circus dogs, the parking lot
Had an element of danger
So please remember me, finally
And all my uphill clawing
My dear, but if I make the Pearly Gates
I'll do my best to make a drawing
Of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl
An angel kissin' on a sinner
A monkey and a man, a marching band
All around the frightened trapeze swinger
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah

V-Day again!
So last night was one of those nights where my dreams basically planned out my next day in my head for me.
I didn't really realize this until some of my morning routine was different from dream. First difference, in my dream I went into my bathroom and took a shower, fixed my hair, and ate some yogurt. I did none of those things since I decided to sleep in and forego any type of sufficient self-maintenance. When I noticed I hadn't eaten any yogurt I knew something funky was up! Then as I am driving to my school that I am working at (YES I AM WORKING AT A SCHOOL!!!!!) I noticed Kate's car was gone. In my dream, Kate was still at her apartment and I texted her asking what is she doing? Well that obviously wasn't true in reality and that is the exact moment I figured it was a dream. Woah! I hate when I live a whole day through in my dream, only to wake up and realize that I have to do it again!
I don't actually remember my main dream, I remember rolling over and waking up thinking, "silly Abby that's not how you do that!", smiling and continuing my dream! After that I lost it though!
Happy Valentines Day to all my loves, which pretty much means the world of people because I just can't not love someone! Everyone is amazing in their own way and I love that about people! Yes, I am single and not cynical about Valentine's Day! Everyone is so happy and I can't help, but catch the love fever!
Since it's Valentines Day I will do a song of the day:
Love and Some Verses - Iron and Wine
Love is a dress that you made long
To hide your knees
Love to say this to your face
I'll love you only
For your days and excitement
What will you keep for to wear?
Someday drawing you different
May I be weaving in your hair?
Love and some verses you hear
Say what you can say
Love to say this in your ear
I'll love you that way
From your changing contentments
What will you choose for to share?
Someday drawing you different,
May I be weaved in your hair?
I love this song, mainly because of the line may I be weaved in your hair? It says to me, can I stay with you and be weaved into your life through the changes! I think it's incredibly romantic, sweet, subtle, amazing!
Another song of the day: Cosmic Love - Florence and the Machine
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
May your day be filled with love from everyone around you!

Valentines Day!
Alright so I don't have much to do and what I do have to do I am avoiding it to enjoy my lovely snow day! Thus, you lovely people reading this blog all three or four of you get to hear about my thoughts on Valentines Day. Weird she's not talking about her dreams, but in a way doesn't every girl dream of the perfect Valentine's Day?
Alright so here it goes!
February 14th, what a random day right? It's in the middle of winter, generally things are kind of dreary and February is a weird month by itself. So why Feb 14th? The next bit of information definitely comes from wikipedia! The main reason was some awesome Saint Valentine from the Roman Catholic faith was buried on February 14th! That's it! That's the reason guys are racking their brains about big gestures, girls are flocking to the malls and boutiques in vain hopes that this Valentine's Day will live up to their expectations, and millions of dollars are spent to somehow prove love! All because of a burial of a man that people have forgotten about over the years, wow!
So guys, first off I want to apologize on behalf of the female population: We put way too much pressure on you guys to make us feel special, which you men usually take as spending money. I am sorry about all the pressure we put on you, as women we should feel special enough without one day for it to be proven. Please all we ask, well at least all I ask of my future significant other, is that you sincerely show us you care about us. This can be a prepared speech, or some little love poem on our desks, in our mailbox, or on our door. When you are sincere with a female they know it, they can tell, and if they can't well you two shouldn't be together.
Girls, enjoy this day as if it were any other day and never forget we must make the man feel special too. This is a lot easier for us because all we have to do is wake him up with some awesome morning sex! It's a win win! Girls just calm down, as a recovering expectation addict please do not have expectations. There is a really great book out there that discusses the differences between love languages. People do not show love in all the same ways so make sure you realize that whatever your man has done was spoken in his love language. Girls life is not a rom com so please do not expect him to shout and profess his love, if all he does is buy some drug store chocolate make sure you let him know that it was the best damn drugstore chocolate of your life! Some guys just aren't good at that kind of thing. Also, if you want him to make you feel special why don't you make him feel important everyday of your relationship! It's YOUR own expectations that ruin Valentines Day not his ACTIONS.
Single people, just realize this day is a great day to DREAM of future Valentines Days with someone you love. Be careful don't get too sappy in those dreams, just know that one Valentines Day is meant for you and you cannot hate others who enjoy it this time around. Next year, they might need you to understand the loneliness they feel.
Lastly, Valentines Day is not ONLY for romantic love. Make sure you show EVERYONE you love in your life that you love them. Single people I know you have people you love that you can show you care! Celebrate it! Enjoy it! If anything just use it as an excuse to get drunk with the dearest people in your life!
As many of you know I am a total romantic sap, so no matter how crappy my February 14th is I can't help but feed off of everyone's love being spread around the world on this day! I am your own personal Love Bug!
That's it for my procrastination rambling!

Lame...
Alright this is just plain embarrassing/annoying. Once again, I dreamed of Jared last night and I am getting extremely annoyed by this. What's that, three dreams in a row now? I do not want to be with my ex, I wish him the best in life, and yes maybe I still love him. BUT I love him in the way that I want him to have the best and to be even a little bit as happy as I am right now. However, I can't control my dreams and right about now I wish I could.
Anyway, so this dream started out with my dad and I walking down Jared's old street. We needed to visit their house for some reason and it was really late at night. I wasn't worried about seeing Jared because I know right now he doesn't have a car (which makes me extremely happy) and he can't come back to his parents' house ever. I wanted to see his little sister Jennifer, which she's really more of my little sister because Jared is a crap older brother, and hang out with his mom. We all hung out all night just chatting and laughing, easy as it used to be. Jennifer and I never fall asleep because we are up all night talking. Just as we are about to fall asleep her alarm goes off for school and immediately I feel bad because I kept her up all night. She bolts out the door and I am kind of sitting like a lame duck not really knowing what to do. My dad left a long time ago and I lost my ride. As I get up to change and do something with my life, in walks Jared. I cover up my semi-naked body and start apologizing for being there. I say "I know we broke up, and they aren't my family, I just wanted to hang out with Jennifer and check on her..." He cuts me off and says, "I've always loved that about you, I still love you and I want to reconcile things." I don't what to say, what do I say? He takes my silence as a cue to kiss me. This time I didn't want his kiss, I was too confused to enjoy it. The dream ends with me being confused about my life and Jared.
Oh wait that didn't change when I woke up! No I am happy, ready to fall in love again with who I don't know, but that's the nice thing about it I don't know who I will love. Now if only Jared would quit plaguing my dreams, I would be on top of the world!
So long mis amigos!

Rival Factions,
I was at a hearing for someone I knew. We were watching some court trial from up above in the dome part of the court room. The trial went along, but became really boring after a while so I left with Juan. I said hi to some friends that I haven't seen in a while and follow Juan to another office. He had some violation that he was trying to get out of, but he couldn't. He start complaining about having to tell his dad about the $90 fine he has to pay. Then, I remember driving home with a group of people in my car, we pass my mom driving my dads car. For some reason we are driving in the grass because the roads are so terrible! We arrive at my house, but it's nothing like my house in reality. It's a huge house in the country made out of rocks and a nice long gravel driveway and there are a lot of people there. I think I have seen this house, or something like it, in a movie or something. This house has a huge back yard and I walk through the side door. I walk through the living room and see people sitting there. We kind of go through a stare down, and that's when the rivalries begin! I run through the house grabbing people from my team and fly through the backdoor to the car. Of course, I can never unlock the car fast enough and people are running entirely to slow! The other team is also running! Jared is the leader of the other team and I am the leader of my team! Our first goal is to make it to our next door neighbors house which is about 5 miles away! Jared's team has to run and we got the car, which means we arrived at the house first and we got a place in the living room. Jared's team had to sit outside in an outdoor tea table. I apologize to one of Jared's teammates for taking up all the space and she says that they need to open space anyway!
The last thing I remember is walking into the kitchen to talk strategy!
Keep dreaming, for when we dream we reach a world entirely of our own- Albus D.
