I've come close to lucid dreaming, but most of the time when I realize it's a dream, I wake up.

Me too. Once when I was about five, I dreamt I was swimming underwater. Then I remembered that you can't breath underwater. So I held my breath until I woke up.

I thought everyone dreamt like that, just like I thought everyone read by looking at the whole paragraph, not by reading word by word.

I've had many lucid flying dreams which were fantastic. I have superpowers until I wake up.

And my lucky bear claw necklace...must be, I haven't been attacked by a bear in the twelve years I had it)

OMG, this made me think of the Simpsons episode where the Bear Patrol is working, according to Homer, who is exhibiting specious reasoning, according to Lisa. Clip here.

In conclusion, "Let the bears pay the bear tax! And let Homer pay the Homer tax!" "That's the HOME OWNER tax, dad."

For some reason, when I dream I have great difficulty running. I can actually run faster backwards. So if I have to run away from something, I run backwards.

It's highly annoying.

Now all I want to do for the rest of the day is watch Simpsons on YouTube!

Crap, I was just thinking, "Well, I'll give those a-holes until 3 to get back to me..." when I looked at the clock. Oops.

Now all I want to do for the rest of the day is watch Simpsons on YouTube!

Me, too! But I have to go to the gym. (I watched the "What's a 'gym'?" clip, too.) And the grocery store. Foo.

I have not gotten one invoice processed today, but I have:

for work:

- booked a space for a party on Tuesday
- check on a reimbursement for my boss
- scheduled a meeting
- taken contracts to HR

for me (in addition to previous list):

- got cash to pay babysitter
- mailed stuff
- researched electric companies for TX
- got info on 2010 USOpen Tix

Happy Birthday, Allyson!

I pierced my own second holes when I was twelve and then the third hole in my left ear when I was sixteen.

It's amazing my ears haven't fallen off.
