I had a seriously weird dream last night. First, I dreamed that I was in this parody-writing group class thingy, and I had to write a parody of a RENT song in French. For inspiration, the teachers provided us with a series of highly amusing canned food labels. Then, I was suddenly at Sail Caribbean again. Except the wind was so strong that the ship had keeled over to about a 45 degree angle, and I was clinging to the lines on the side of the ship (I forgot what they were called. Meh. You know, those support line things!) Then we dragged the boat aground and started paining graffitti on the hull and keel. Search me why.
Other points of interest: 1. On Sunday, I got to see Cirque du Soleil. Dralion. It was absolutely magnificent. My hands started to hurt from clapping so much. Like Ann, I loved the naked guy with balls, but I think my favourite had to be the girls in green who see-saw catapulted themselves into really tall formations and stuff. It was amazing. A minor point -- I got to see Bern there! Bern, if you either have forgotten or if you are new to my blog, is one of the most amusing people in the universe. He played Bud Frump in Jesuit's production of "How to Succeed" last year. We said "hi" and smalltalked and it was all good. Yay! 2. Yesterday, my friends threw me a mini-surprise party for my birthday (Friday! Yay!). Of course, talking to Chungy during the day, it became obvious. The poor girl just can't lie to save her life. ::hugs Chungy:: We went to Chili's, where we immediately ran into Swift, one of the infamous Chili's waiters. Also traipsing about the place was Brian, who has become equally infamous in the minds of the JETS. I just realized that I never actually got to post about our adventures with Brian and Chili's and "The Mummy Returns" because that was the day Douglas Adams died. Maybe I'll fill you all in on the story later. Anyway, Swift was obviously shocked when everyone sang the birthday song for me and announced that I was turning 17. He had tried to hit on me when we first met him, so he must have thought I was older. I found this particularly entertaining. Then we all went to the theatre to try to find a movie we all agreed on. We weren't able to find one, as Margaret wouldn't see Harry Potter, Monsters Inc., or Amelie. Instead, we all went to my house, where we watched Robin Hood: Men in Tights. As the movie progressed, people started leaving for whatever they had to do, and eventually it was just me and Chungy. We called Elizabeth and she came over, and we ordered in Chinese food and watched "Shrek". Let it be known that the Karaoke Swamp Dance is absolutely hilarious! After that, Elizabeth left, and it was just me and Chungy. We talked for about two hours, then she had to go home, as well. Then I went to sleep. 3. I put up the Amelie mini-poster they gave me at the Inwood. It's all happy. 4. I knit another band on the scarf. It's now about 3 1/2 feet. Just one more foot to go! 5. Loh informs me that a scarf sold on eBay for over $100, just because it looked like the one Harry Potter wore. I've decided to start making and selling scarves in my free time to rake in some extra money. Muaha! 6. I need to re-post the "Who's Who" thing. Meh.
