The Lobby - 19

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A great man once had a great dream about people actually being treated equally.

That was quite silly. It will never work.

Then, years later, I had a dream that I would have people show up to be tormented and forced to write.

Much more practical.

Now I just have to work on my dream of a monkey army.

What is YOUR dream?

I like the Flying Monkeys from "Wizard of Oz". All the better to throw poo at you, my dear! :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

They should have used that attack against the Emerald City!!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Then it would have been the Land Down Umber! ;)

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Little-known fact: my grandmother's cousin, Merlin "Shorty" Hinkle, was one of those flying monkeys!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Cool! :)

To get right to it, the way I feel, the dreams I have of are of being good enough. Dreams of being worth it. I want to feel like I belong in this world. Don't want to feel so far behind.

Hmmm, perhaps I could have written that a bit more cryptically and mixed in some metaphors.

Nah!

lol

Look forward to Idol returning. I think. :)

Perhaps getting out of the house and interacting with people would help that. Maybe there is someone who lives down the street from you who might want to hang out sometime. You should look into that! :)

I had a dream that my pet dog was really a Tasmanian tiger. His name was Rusty. I was performing during concert band (playing the flute) and for some reason Rusty was on the stage with me, when someone in the audience stood up and went 'That's not a golden retriever! That's a Tasmanian Tiger!'

I then needed to return Rusty to his home state and family. I sadly watched him walk into the forest, before the curtains closed and the credits started running on 'Rusty: The Story of a Tasmanian Tiger"

But I would also like to get a job in Switzerland. And get money and a small amount of fame from my comic.

That's beautiful. The dog/tiger dream, that is.

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

:-) first and only dream I have had with credits!

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

I had a dream that I was Merlin. Sadly when I woke up I realized it wasn't the case. ;)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Then why are you wearing those robes and have that long, flowing, white beard???

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

I guess I do have magic after all! :P

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

I had a dream that that I remembered my dreams. The minute I wake up -- poof, they disappear :/

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I had another one of those dreams that have me trying to get somewhere in a large building by taking elevators that do strange things, like move sideways.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I don't remember mine either 99% of the time!

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

I almost always remember my dream.
Some in extreme detail to the point were recounting them becomes a short story.
Even had someone ask if I always have "epic" dream.
I thought everyone did.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

My dreams can be simple or complicated all at the same time.

My dream would be to have a studio large enough to accommodate all my puppet work.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

I'd like to have a bigger house, so that my "office" is once more just my office and not the "office"/"KFP bedroom."

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

I would like to have a house.

[millysdaughter.livejournal.com]

I want flying monkeys!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

They are MINE!!

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Talk to my grandmother's cousin. He was one of them. He's also ... dead.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

That does make talking to him a bit hard, nu?

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Undoubtedly. :)

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and--"

Oh, wait. Wrong question.

... well, come to think of it: same answer.

One time when I was a kid, I had this dream that I was hooked up to one of those rotating sphere things where your wrists and ankles are tied down and then they flip you in all sorts of directions, but no one would push me, because there was a rope in between me and everyone else. They would come over to push me, but stop at the rope, pick it up, smell it, say, "Bananas???" And then fall over laughing, unable to give me a push.

I don't really want that dream to come true, though.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Was it scary or fun? Sort of sounds like both.

[kandigurl.livejournal.com]

It was SCARY because I was stranded and these people were incapacitated by their laughter. BUT it's hilarious when I try to tell it to people. :)

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Dreams can be like that, for sure. It also sounds a little bit like a short story I once read, although without the laughing. It was about a guy who created some sort of intricate torture device and then ended up being placed in it himself.

[ashgaelsonaria.livejournal.com]

I don't dream.
Right now I am just waiting for my February 27 court hearing on my disability. If my lawyer is as good as people think and it goes threw then I will go hunting houses. I hope to snag a good one - three+ bedrooms.
It would make a nice trophy.
Oh sure, it will be one of those scraggy ones that you have to do a bit of work on but I understand that they are overpopulated around here right now.
I thought about using a blind but I'm just not the sit and wait sort so I expect I will just go out and stalk my prey.

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the hearing! That probably seems like a long time to wait, but I hope the results are good.

I counted the acknowledged donations from Idol folks to those two causes and then halfed it, and we have a new total for "the Idol-raiser"!

We are $58 away from my posting that video that inspired Season 9!!!

I went ahead and set up an "Go Fund Me" account for the remaining half of our journey. If you have the interest, check it out! http://www.gofundme.com/LJ-Idol

My current dream is a vague lottery winning thing so I can retire early. My husband has had some recent health issues that have really turned up the fire on that.

Globally? My dream is for everyone to go to their rooms, and behave.

I think both are about equally likely. :O
