for Jesus...
14 November 2001 13:25Today in the parking lot of Pad Thai/Superette, I saw a license plate that said, "Truckin' for Jesus!"
The world will end soon.
My fortune cookie says "you are responsible and serious".
1) it's lying
2) it's a crappy fortune!
So, I had this really weird dream last night. I will share it with you!
I was driving into Rocklin (old town I used to live in in California, where Troy and Jed currently live) on a surprise visit to the Department. None of them knew I was coming. I exited off of I-80 on the Rocklin Road exit, which is the one you take to get to Troy's house [basically, and maybe this will help you understand the dream, you exit on the Rocklin Road exit, take a right onto Rocklin Rd, take another right onto Aguilar, go up a big hill, and you're at Troy's house. There's more, but that's the simple version]. As I was waiting to turn right onto Rocklin Road, I noticed that in the car next to me was my first boyfriend, Lewie. My jaw dropped and I waved and tried to get his attention, but he didn't see me. The light turned green and I drove on. There was big construction going on where Rocklin Rd. met Aguilar, so I drove on a little bit and parked in the parking lot of Sierra College (which is a community college just past Aguilar on Rocklin Rd.). I got out of my car and proceeded to walk towards Troy's house (I was about as far from it as the Hotel is from the Union).
As I left the parking lot towards the houses, I passed a small patch of grass where some construction-worker men (who were too young to be men!) were doing something involving a big piece of machinery drilling a hole in the ground. One of the workers looked JUST like Chase, and I called him Chase. Someone else turned around, and I said, "Not you, HIM" and pointed to my not-Chase. He said his name was something else, and I said, "In Oklahoma, you're Chase!"
Then [Rachel, I forgot this part while I was telling you the dream], one of the other workers somehow recognized me and said, "Julia!" He was apparently someone I went to school with, but I didn't recognize him. He gave me a big hug, and asked me about some things in life, and who I had visited so far. I said no one, but that I had seen Lewie in his car. The guy told me that Lewie worked at Tower Records in the city, and I thanked him for this information and walked on.
I was almost to Troy's house when I saw Jed's car parked in front of it, and Jed in it (sorting CDs or something)! I knew I had to surprise him good (since they didn't know I was coming), so I ran up to his car at full speed and flung myself against the window. In the dream, this was a good idea and didn't hurt ;) Jed was surprised (wouldn't you be?) and got out of the car to give me lots of hugs.
We went inside the house, and Scot was there, and he got lots of hugs too. Graham (Jason) was also there, and he got lots of hugs! While I was hugging him, we kind of moved into the hallway near Troy's room (who still was oblivious) and hugged next to a mirror, which I could look at and see behind me. Troy must've heard what went on, because he came out into the hallway and saw us hugging. I saw him, through the mirror, come up behind me and start to hug me... but then he leaned over and kissed my cheek under my ear instead! I moved around to give him a hug (y'know, a kiss on the cheek is okay, friends do that!) and he just started kissing me... a LOT. He had really chapped lips, and kissed very strangely - lots of little popping kisses (does that make sense?) instead of long ones. But, y'know, I was getting kissed, and it was a dream, so okay. ;) During that, I woke up.
Weird dream, eh? Overall it was happy. I wish I could make more surprise road trips. Hell, I wish I could make more road trips!
I guess I'll be making one in just one month. That makes me happy.
I found out while writing this (for a little while I was going to post a link to a map on Mapquest so you would understand the driving I did) that mapquest now provides aerial shots of places. I was able to see my old house in Rocklin, as well as Troy's! I don't have a good enough memory to find anyone else's. I could possibly find Scot's, but it was out in the wilderness ;) Maybe next I will look at my old high school... Maybe an aerial shot of the football field will freak me out (I once wanted my ashes, if I ever died and was cremated, to be scattered on that field... I was a FREAK about band).
Rachel is good for talking.
