other people's lives
seem more interesting cuz they ain't mine

so a friend of mine was having a bad couple of days recently, and because i don't know all the details my brain decided to make some up this morning in dream form instead of actually getting up and heading out to work at a propper time...

[dream 1]
i'm waking up in the house i grew up in as a kid. i have to pee real bad, and appearantly i've been sleeping nekkid, so i wrap myself in a blanket and head out toward the batthroom... making my way down the hallway, i pass a room where my friend is in the shower, fully clothed, and clearly crying. but, man, do i have to pee. so i go down to the bathroom at the end of the hall to take care of business. and i'm watering the plants, i can hear that my friend is "finishing up" (whatever that means in the context of crying fully clothed in the shower) and is starting to head out the door. and as much as i'd like to catch up with them to see what's up offer what help i can, if i tried that now, i'd be peeing all over them. that's not good.

so i finish peeing... time shifts now i'm with a bunch of friends in some room with said friend sitting on a barstool in the middle with a "panel" of closer friends and a mother sitting behind them... clearly, this is a presentation of the details type get together. after some hestitant starts and much consultation with "the panel" it comes out that they've recently tested positive for HIV

same house as dream 1. this time, sitting in the kitchen at the counter stools. my friend and i are picking at some food and i learn that my friend is in some serious financial troubles. further inquiry reveals that this friend was fairly negligent in their care of the refrigerators at the co-ops where they lived. okay, maybe more than negligent... and appearantly, there were quite a number of refrigerators involved... in any case... lots of money was being requested from said friend in order to repair all the refridgerators.

[dream 3]
crap... i knew i should have written these down before i jumped in the shower and headed out to work... dream 3 was just as short as dream 2. and made just about as much sense. if you have any ideas as to why my friend was having troubling times the past couple days, feel free to add them to the comments section of this blog.
