"i drempt it was the end of the world. i was at the farm, and suddenly things started getting messed up. big things. like the post office. no one knew what was going on. there was a computer in the new room, i browsed myspace, but eventually the news came through the radio instead- the world was ending. no one really believed it. but we got ready anyway. i packed up all my stuff, re-organized so all the fun stuff was in the flowered suitcase, cause no one knew what would happen or when, just tomorrow night. we decided to go to the woods, so i took all sorts of stuff to entertain myself. i thought we'd all have fun going out in false eyelashes, silly makeup, etc. strangers called grandma and grandpa to talk about mistakes from like 50 years ago. i was having the hardest time getting ready- i couldnt' find my bag, my cell phone, etc. then on the way to the woods, i get kind of lucid, and i'm like, wait a second- why am i doing this? it's gonna get dark and i don't wanna spend my last night on earth with a root up my back! so i told them i was going to the city. they wanted to drive me, but i said today drivers licenses don't matter. so they went to the woods on some 4 wheelers and i took a pickup and an atlas and drove to pittsburg. it was scary and dangerous- people making poor decisions re: end of world- deciding they'd rather kill themelsves by driving off the highway than wait and see how it was gonna happen. i keep singing the r.e.m. song, cause i feel fine. i call laura, sing amy correia on her voice mail- "and i feel today is better spent with you." i imagined being in her arms one last time, but she's still in oman. so i called leah, and she said she'd come to the airport and pick me up. i called ch and we said goodbye, i was hoping he'd have a good party without me. on the airplane we felt like we were on a race against time. we were almost there when there was a whooshing shake and the sun got small like a star. we could see these beautiful ice vapors swirling across the land, gorgeous and destroying. we couldn't stay in the air forever. we went down to land where the airport used to be, and the plane quickly froze before hitting the ground. i woke up as i died."
now do you see why i'm so compelled to go to the farm? nothing good ever happens there in my subconsious, it seems.
when i told ch about the eyelashes bit, he laughed an said today's title. he also thought that it was hilarious that i knew the world was ending because of the POST OFFICE. btw, l's package still hasn't been delivered. i really need to call the hamtramck post office. it's been 2 weeks today. however, she sent me an email saying my letter i sent to oman got there! so that's supercool.
ragtime loads out of the costume shop tomorrow, so we were working hard to get everything done. i was working so slowly- some days i can just whip stuff out, other days it seems i have to pick out every seam i sew. took in new cds, so that was a fun change of pace.
so, now for pictures! i've been saving them up for you! first, on sunday i discovered something magical- devon market carries hanuta!
but even better, they have another brand that's cheaper. so i'll have to try them and see if they're 1/2 as good:
goddess i love ethnic chocolate. i'm gonna load up on 50 different polish styles for my grandfather's birthday. he's easy to buy for. m&ms are always a good gift.
also, i have another altered t-shirt photo, the earthkeepers shirt a gave me. the front was boring, so i turned the back into a halter top:
i don' think you can read it, but it says, "god's original plan was to hang out in a garden with a bunch of naked vegetarians."
cat's been waking me up 6am with the sun. fucking daylight savings. i'm so tired, i can't type anymore.
however, one last photo. the first tulip of spring.
it's coming. it's gonna happen. thank the goddess.
