I read this quote recently “Nerds are people who aren’t afraid to be passionate about something.” I think people and their little quirks are great. The wierder the quirk, the better. Those little things that make you smile involuntarily when you think of certain people. Like the fact that they listen to kooky music, or are madly into video games, or they vaccuum out the door so their carpet doesn’t mat down. Think of all the people you know and what makes them unique. Let’s see…
My oldest sister… plans everything.
My middle sister…puts butter on vegan pumpkin waffles
My husband… used to vaccuum me out the door (before we moved in together and assimilated as one, slightly messy person).
My mother in law… buys gray everything…including a specially ordered toilet and bathtub (car, house, etc.)
My father in law… buys grey goose to display on his bar and then uses Smirnoff to make the drinks
My mother… gets vertigo when she realizes she has a grandson
My father….has over 300 unusable outboard motors
Me… what do people say about me? I wonder.
Anyway… I can appreciate people. They make me laugh and keep me interested. Why would anyone put any effort into trying to be normal anyway?
Next subject…synchronicity. Had a weird experience a week or so ago. Was reading Jung and about symbols of the self. Had a dream about my saphire and diamond ring. The next night I turned the page in my book and it said that dreaming about saphire and diamonds were symbols of the “self.” Weird. Jung analyzed himself by his doodles. He doodled mandalas. I was doodling today and my favorite doodle is a spiral, starting at the middle and working outwards. I was thinking consciously about the doodle and wondering what it meant. And then I thought “What would I call this, a spiral? Maybe a “nautilus.” At the EXACT same moment…exact… my coworker was talking to someone about work and said the word “nautilus.” Totally unrelated…totally out of the blue. How weird is that?
Dreams
Oh, speaking of which…dreams. Dreamt I was married to Troy Aikman. He was in the military and we were stationed at Yokota. He had a constant toothache which made his temper flare up. He was depressed because his friend Cap got transferred. We had really loud sex in our room in the barracks. Then he left. He thought I would stay in the room but I went off base to check things out. I hadn’t been out before and felt kind of out of my element. There was a building with a bunch of military men in. One of them was yelling at the others that they shouldn’t be in there. Then I could see (as if I was inside) the commander talking to my husband… talking about his toothache and the fact that he couldn’t control his temper. He was going to be honorably discharged. Then the commander told me and I started crying.
Our bird friend is attacking J. I think she’s lonely. : ( Was eating healthy till the oreo blizzard and cosmo. Got $15 for my boots.
