Strange (But nice) Dreams

So last night I had this dream that Cullen (OohCullen from the youtubes) was a time traveler from 48 years in the future, and he came back in time for some reason that I didn't find out, because I woke up too soon.  But it was fun, and he was running around in my dream muttering about time paradoxes and the like.  But before that, we just hung out for a while, and talked, and I knew that he was a time traveler and everyone else didn't, except for Emily, Kiersten, and Gwen, who showed up in my dream at the end, and to whom I told about Cullen.  Dream-Emily was understandably excited.


And this morning I woke to this in my sub box.

“I have no emotions associated with briefcases” and flippant coconuts tell of blackness and rain. A horse named Brideen and cuteness contains chopsticks and Emily’s top hat. The rain soaks through velvet moonlight to freeze on my skin-a kind of healthy change from clamminess and trees. Penny Quinn turns Pink and the ironies of archaic and no strings attached become manifest as a blank titled poem unravels into a jumble of numbers turned letters turned numbers-hexadecimal riddles and pastel flowers and this would be a cool puzzle cloud. Somehow, the rain falls on Morrie and Emily Dickenson, to make Tuesdays with singing feathers-a fitting testament to September. Philosophers and dentists are weirdly combined and inextricably merged as the nebulosae roll over.

Summer goals/UAoA update

So I've decided to try to write in my journal every day this month, and not worry about how much I write, but just write. I'm also reading Lord of the Rings, and trying to read some every day, but not any specified amount. I'd forgotten how much I like reading LotR, and how great it truly is. And I'm doing this 90 day reading plan for the New Testament, which is going well. It's basically just a few chapters every day, so not all that much. I think I might try to vlog every couple of days.
