Hermit Crab and Scorpion Dreams

deoridheWell, my plan to start the week off right stumbled at the starting gate and the horse is a little lame. My alarm clock was set for PM instead of AM, and my auto-wake utility seems to be on the fritz, so I ended up waking up 20 minutes after I was supposed to BE at work.
Opps.
Stumbling through pet care and dressing, I managed to make it to work only an hour late. Damnit. I got interrupted in the middle of a fascinating dream, too. It seemed to be a cross between Lost (the TV show), Voyager (the TV series) and Persona (a video game) with my hermit crabs thrown in for good measure.
We were stranded on a deserted island, though I think it was a boat crash not a plane crash. There was weird-guy-with-scar there (henceforth WGWS), and Be'Lanna Torres, and a mother with her son, and a chick who looked like the girl in Underworld (henceforth called Selene), and a couple cute boys (black haired and brunette), and about a half dozen more unremarkable people. We were stuck on the shore at first, and WGWS started doing things to everyone because he didn't want people to leave. Like, he turned the kid into a scorpian (a large one - about a foot long) that could talk, and he made Be'Lanna even more short tempered, and he was holding cute brown haired guy hostage (tied and gaged) when Selene and cute-black-haired-boy found him, and he wanted them to surrender but instead we jumped in a sewer because they didn't trust him.
I and scorpion kid and his mom decided to sneak away from the camp because everyone kept disappearing, and we found the dirt road through the woods and a MALL at the end. We ran into Be'Lanna and Selene and black-haired-cute-boy there, and they were camping out in the woods (because we had, like, NO money). There was a huge cage with Hermit crabs there, too, but they were GIGNORMOUS (like a foot and a half in length) and two of them were fighting. We all went back as a group down the track and met this old Haitian guy who pointed out the railroad tracks under the leaves to the side. By the time we got back to the tent it was ice cold,a nd we all shivered inside, and scorpion kid was mad because no one let him go anywhere or do anything because we were worried he'd get stepped on. And he's running around and getting agitated, and Be'Lanna's all pissy, and Selene stopped caring, and I'm trying to calm everyone down when scorpion-kid becomes a kid again and gives us all hugs.
And then we find out that this whole thing is being controlled by an organization in this dark building, and so we go there to get cute-brown-haired-guy out, and scorpion kid is happy 'cause he can come along and is holding my hand, and we sneak in to the building but guards are coming, so we run to a broom closet, but cute-black-haired-boy takes Scorpion-kid's-mom and the others and hides them someplace else, and it's just me and scorpion kid and Selene and she manages to make herself and him disappear, but the monster opens the door and its (no lie) MABUFU and he grabs me to take me someplace horrible.
And then I wake up to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

YOUR SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL
[What year was it?]
1993-1994
[What were your three favorite bands?]
Sting, Richard Marx, and Metallica
[What was your favorite outfit?]
Black silky top, black velvet skirt, the blue and green overlay, and my black belt with the HUGE silver buckle.
[What was up with your hair?]
It was long. I think I'd grown out my bangs by then. I kept it parted to one side, and the side with more hair was usually held back with a bow.
[Who were your best friends?]
Senior year? Eesh... most of my friendships had disintegrated by then. Probably Anne or AJ.
[What did you do after school?]
I walked home and watched TV, largely. I also spent a lot of time copying over poetry, and decorating my room.
[Did you take the bus?]
Nope. I got a ride in with Anne and walked home.
[Who did you have a crush on?]
AJ, by and large, though he was dating Wendy for most of that.
[Did you fight with your parents?]
Not really.
[Who did you have a CELEBRITY crush on?]
Michael Praed. *swoons*
[Did you smoke cigarettes?]
Nope.
[Did you lug all of your books around in your backpack all day because you were too nervous to find your locker?]
I used my locker, though I was late to class a couple of times because I tried to get there. Our school is huge.
[Did you have a 'clique'?]
Nope. I hung out with some CAP and Magnet people, plus the Thai friends I'd made in science class, and the Gothy types as well.
[Did you have "The Max" like Zach Kelly and Slater?]
Nope.
[Admit it, were you popular?]
I really don't think so.
[Who did you want to be just like?]
No one.
[What did you want to be when you grew up?]
A psychologist or a toe truck driver.
[Where did you think you'd be at the age you are now?]
I thought I'd be in Graduate school by now.
Opps.
