So.

Someone owes me money and they have since May. Every time I talked to them about it, they we're like I'll have it, I'll have it soon blahblah. Well, I've been trying to contact them since early July and I've had no replies to e-mails, IMs, texts, calls, nothing. Its not like they owe me five dollars, I was definitely more generous than I should have been...

Any advice for me? What would you guys do?

can i get get get to know know know you better better baby

comment on this post and i will choose seven interests from your profile.
you will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them.
post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

SO. My buddy derek (spiderinthesnow) chose these. Even though he says, "man i feel like i already know the story of most of your interests but here goes:" Haha.

1. being "motherly" I am told quite often that I am very "motherly." I enjoy taking care of people/animals and helping them in any way I possibly can.
2. critique So. I go to MCAD (Minneapolis College of Art and Design) and of course, when you create artwork -- there's always a critique. When I first started there, I absolutely hated it. However, as I went on and took more studio classes, I learned what a powerful tool critique is to me, my artwork, and my peers. A good, thoughful critique can do wonders for the improvement of the work and ideas being produced.
3. fonts I love fonts -- helvetica, especially.. ha. Anyways, when a font (even handwriting, for that matter) is done in a specific manner it can add so, so much to what the words are already trying to express.
4. organizing I think organizing is so exhilarating. It has a lot to do with the process and problem solving that goes into creating a organizational system that will work, continue to work, and boost whatever feeling you're trying to bring into that particular space whether it be productivity, happiness, etc.
5. vegetarian sushi Josh is the one that got me hooked on this. When he came here back in November, we went to Chino Latino. He ordered this and I ordered some rice. I was a little skeptical at first, but absolutely fell in love! Then for my birthday, Tristan took me to Chino and we shared that and had an awesome time and it was the best birthday ever. I also ordered it when I took Kurstin there on a gorgeous day before school ended. It's DELICIOUS and I associate it with good times.
6. trivia I love trivia, random facts, whatever.
7. ted leo/rx (i'm only bringing this one up to rub in the fact they're playing a free show in toronto on friday and i'm going and you're not :P) I think Ted is way attractive and makes good music. I am very jealous I can't go see him FOR FREE. Ughh.

I slept a lot yesterday.. and I had one really vivid dream.

I was at school and the teacher said he had to watch a debate on TV, but I couldn't find one there. So, I started running through these woods and came across two little girls playing in the sand. They told me they had a TV and I could watch it there. We got to their house and it was really nice. So, I watched it and the two little girls and their mom left and came back right when the show ended. The little girls came out of their room with their pet duck and two ferrets. I thanked them for letting me use their TV and I asked the mother if she needed a babysitter. She looked at me and was just like, "Well, not now.. I'm here." and I said, "I didn't mean for now.. I meant another time.." She hesitated, but gave me a piece of paper so I could write my phone number on it. I was writing, but I couldn't make out the numbers. I had trouble writing them in the dream. I gave that to her, put on a pair of weird sandals.. like platform sandals and said bye to the two little girls. They said, "Bye Mary Poppins!" [I was called that throughout the dream.] and I walked outside and I realized that I was two houses away from my house. I ran down the street and into my house. My mom said, "What are you doing here?" and I explained the story and told her about the family I had just met. She was displeased and I said, "You would like them! They have a duck living in the house." and my mom was just like, "A duck? Their duck probably isn't anything like Baby." [Baby is one of the ducks that lives at my house for real.] and I said, "No, they look just like each other!" and then I told her about the ferrets and she just said, "Ew, ferrets?"

Pretty weird, but very vivid. I'm pretty sure it was all in black and white except for the colors red and blue.
Television
To dream that you are watching television, represents your brain, mind and its flowing thoughts. It shows how you are receiving, integrating, and expressing your ideas/thoughts. The programs you dream of watching is an objective view of the things that are in your mind.
Children
To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurtured.

Duck
To see ducks in your dream, either represents spiritual freedom (if flying) or it represents the unconscious (if swimming). Ducks are rather multi-talented animals that can walk, swim and fly and thus may represent your flexibility and in blending into various situations. Alternatively, the dream may also indicate that you are setting yourself up or being set up for the kill as associated by the phrase "sitting duck". Also, the duck may be a pun on "ducking" some issue or situation, instead of confronting it head-on.

Ferret
To see a ferret in your dream, symbolizes distrust and suspicion of others. The dream may also be a pun on searching.
Sand
To see sand in your dream, signifies a shift in perspective or a change in your attitude. Consider also the familiar phrase, "the sands of time" in which it may be suggesting that you are wasting your time or letting time pass you by.
Sandbox
To see or play in a sandbox in your dream, suggests that you are taking a situation too seriously. You need to lighten up and enjoy the experience.

Forest
To dream that you are in or walking through the forest, signifies a transitional phase. You may be following your instincts.

Writing
To dream that you are writing, signifies some sort of communication with someone or with your conscious mind. It also denotes a mistake that you have made.
Phone Number

To see a phone number in your dream, suggests that you need to make contact with someone and reach out for help.
Sandals

To see or wear sandals in your dream, signifies comfort and ease. You have an open understanding of others. The dream may also
    indicate that you need to tread lightly around certain people or risk offending them.

Debate
To dream that you are in a debate, symbolizes some inner turmoil or conflict that you are experiencing. It also means that you find closure to those unresolved issues.

Mother
To see your mother in your dream, represents the nurturing aspect of your own character. Mothers offer shelter, comfort, life, guidance and protection. Some people may have problems freeing themselves from their mothers and are thus seeking their own individuality and development.

To dream that you are having a conversation with your mother, denotes a matter that has preoccupied your mind and you are not sure how to deal with it in your waking life. It indicates unresolved problems that still need to be worked out with your mother.

Blue
Blue represents truth, wisdom, heaven, eternity, devotion, tranquility, loyalty and openness. The presence of this color in your dream, may symbolize your spiritual guide and your optimism of the future. You have clarity of mind.

Red
Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations.
    Red is also the color of danger, shame, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions.

And I will flail under these lights that seep down from the bitter sky tonight and I will kick and beat my wrists together and feel an ocean breathing waves, feel them licking at my face. Ceilings don't exist and there are no floors beneath me. If I were king of this night, would you become my queen? And I hope, Your Majesty, that you like your position. I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom. Just kiss me before I go. I'll have to walk a thousand miles just to find the ground deserving of your feet. You could throw me down and walk on me and I'd just look on through my love and through the haze. The nightingales are singing out. They're calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees. Their jewelry is thrown into the air. They sigh at the release as their shackles hit the ground. The trumpets call out now.

We're home at last.

I had a weird dream last night. I don't remember all of it in sequence, but I remember bits and pieces.

I know it started off with me at the mall and I was looking at shoes and I came across a pair of black boots I liked. I tried them on and walked toward a mirror to see if I liked them, but the mirror was distorted and I had to find another one. Then I remember wearing this black dress... it was like leather and weird. Not crazy, just a very odd design... kind of space like. I ended up not buying the boots because I couldn't find a mirror to see how they looked in and left.

Next thing I remember, I got out of some guy's car - yellow Ford Focus hatchback thing - and started walking. As I started walking away he said, "Feel free to go through my junk yard!" So, I was walking and next thing I know I'm in a truck with my little sister. She had the window open and was changing the radio and some guy jumped half way through the window and tried to steal her soda. She didn't want to give it up, but I kept yelling, "Just give it to him!" The fight escalated and somehow we ended up on a box truck. The guy was hanging on to the side and I was driving all crazy trying to get him off. It didn't worked and he got his way into the truck, but his friend was still outside. The original driver of the truck was in the back trying to fight the guys off. He yelled, "HIT THE ORGANIC PEDAL" and so there was a pedal with a leaf on it and I pressed it down as hard as I could. All of a sudden we all heard, "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT!?" and vegetable oil went everywhere.

WEIRD.

Boots

To see or dream that you are wearing boots, refers to the power in your movement and the boldness of your position. You are taking a firm stance.

Shopping

To dream that you are shopping, indicates your needs and desires. Consider what you are shopping for and what needs you are try to fulfill. In particular, to dream that you are shopping for food and groceries, signifies your hidden attempt to buy the attention of others.

Mirror

To see your own reflection in the mirror, suggests that you are pondering thoughts about your inner self. The reflection in the
mirror is how you perceive yourself or how you want others to see you. You may be contemplating on strengthening and changing
aspects of your character.

Leather

To see or wear leather in your dream, represents toughness and ruggedness. You are seeking protection from the elements. It
also refers to your instinctual and animalistic nature and thus have sexual connotations.

Yellow

The color yellow has both positive and negative connotations. If the dream is a pleasant one, then the color yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony, and wisdom. On the other hand, if the dream is an unpleasant one, then the color represents cowardice and sickness. You may have a fear or an inability to make a decision or take action. As a result, you are experiencing many setbacks.

Truck

To see a truck in your dream, implies that you are overworked. You may be taking on too many tasks and responsibilities and are weighing you down. On a side note, pregnant women often dream of trucks or driving trucks. This may be a metaphor of the load they are are carrying or an expression of their changing bodies.

I don't know what is is, but I've been having a lot of dreams lately.

Last night I dreamt it was the first day of school. I was in a huge school with lots of artwork. I finally came to a group of girls - all of which went to my high school. We were talking and I kept looking outside - We were standing next to huge windows and it was snowing outside. This girl - Rachel [Who I also went to high school with] came up with short, short blonde hair and a huge hat on. Everyone began talking about it and finally it was time for class. I started walking away and ended up going through a hallway lined with lockers - most of which had artwork on the outside.. with a girl showing me artwork. They were all of triangles. She kept telling me how she wasn't able to draw, but her roommate could.

Then I woke up.

HAT
To see a hat in your dream, signifies that you are concealing something or covering up something. Alternatively, it may represent the role you play or the responsibilities you have in life.

SNOW
To see snow in your dream, signifies your inhibitions, repressed/unexpressed emotions and feelings of frigidity. You need to release and express these emotions and inhibitions. You may also be feeling indifferent, alone and neglected.

To dream that you are watching the snow fall, represents a clean start and a fresh, new perspective. It is indicative of spiritual peace and tranquility.

LOCKER
To see or use a locker in your dream, signifies aspects of yourself which you have kept hidden inside. Consider what items and belongings are in the locker. In particular, to dream of a school locker, denotes hidden feelings, knowledge, and attitudes that you need to learn and/or acknowledge.

TRIANGLE
To see triangles in your dream, symbolizes aspirations, potential and truth. It is also a symbol of spirituality: the body, mind, and spirit. Alternatively, it may refer to a love triangle in your waking life.

Interesting.
I can definitely see how it relates to my waking life.

weird dreams.

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 19:12:09 GMT

I had a couple of interesting dreams this week..

I was at a school - not my current school - and was hanging out with some friends. All of a sudden I decided to go outside and when I did I saw a car accident. I went over and saw a dog [who in my dream was mine] got hit. I was really upset and started screaming his name, Brainy. He was taken to a hospital and I kept asking if he'd be okay and the people at the scene assured me he would. I ran back to my friends and hugged one of them [a person who is a current friend..] and he asked, "What's wrong?" and I started crying and told him, "Brainy got hit." He told me everything would be okay and that I should hurry to the hospital. Hugging him made me feel better and I stopped crying and I knew I was going to get my dog back. So, I walked to my room and called my mom and told her. Minutes later, she was there and we were driving. I got a call that said Brainy didn't make it. I was really upset. I was crying and saying, "They said he was going to be okay." My mom brought me back and I went over to where my friends were and I saw the boy I had hugged earlier all over another girl.

That's where it ended.

DOG
To see a dog in your dream, indicate a skill that you have ignored or forgotten, but needs to be activated. Alternatively, dogs may symbolize intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. Your own values and intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and succeed. If the dog is vicious and/or growling, then it signifies some inner conflict within yourself. It may indicate betrayal and untrustworthiness. If the dog is dead or dying, then it indicates a loss of a good friend. Alternatively, it represents a deterioration

HUGGING
To dream that you are hugging someone, symbolizes your loving and caring nature. You are holding someone or something close to your heart. Alternatively, it may indicate your need to be more affectionate.

In this dream I was at a hospital - I'm not really sure why - and I was walking down the halls listening to music. I came to this door and for some reason I decided to go in. In the room was this little girl. She was young and kind of frail looking. I said, "I have something for you." I don't know the girl and I'm not sure if I knew her in the dream either. I gave her my headphones, but she didn't take them. I sat on her bed and tried to talk to her, but she kept wandering around. Just when she sat down and was about to use the headphones a nurse came in. The nurse started saying, "What are you doing here?" and I told her I had been walking down the halls and decided to come in because I wanted to give her something. The nurse then pulled me aside and said, "Don't you know she has ... Brochitis?" and I started to cry and ask her what I should do because I had no idea and I didn't want to catch it. She told me to wash everything and wash my hands. So, I left my headphones there and ran out of the room to find a sink to wash my hands. That's where it ended.

HOSPITAL
To see a hospital in your dream, symbolizes your need to heal or improve your physical or mental heath. You need to get back to the flow of everyday life.

HEADPHONES
To dream that you are wearing headphones, indicates that you are the only one getting the message. It also indicates that you are in tune with your intuition.

BRONCHITIS
To dream that you have bronchitis, represents obstacles that you will need to overcome. You need to stay the course and remain steadfast. The dream may even forewarn of a future illness.
[I did not have in the dream, but I can still relate this to what's currently happening in my life.]

GIRL
To see a girl in your dream, represents your playful, innocent, and childlike nature. Perhaps you have been behaving immaturely.

NURSE
To see a nurse in your dream, denotes that you need to be taken care of and a time of healing, either mentally, physically or spiritually

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 05:23:27 GMT

So now I've made the decision
to walk behind you in the dark for the rest of my life
and I'll never show my face again
because it's too scarred and bloody to be enough
and I don't have the right stuff-
all I have are the empty boxes to carry away your heart
and I think that tonight I will sneak into your house and I'll sing songs and wake you up
and I'll take you blindfolded dancing onto bridges
and you'll say you don't to be with me
'cause no one ever does and no one ever thinks of me that way
but I will even drive you home if you never let me forget about you
and if you promise me that I'm good enough for someone 'cause I've got to be good enough for you
and someday soon I'll get it right
and then you'll see just how good I can be
so don't ask me about forever because right now I'm feeling lost
but there's got to be some place for me because if there isn't where will I go?
Will there be some place for me and will you be waiting there for me?
If and when we get there please catch me before I crawl all the way home
but I won't stop until you do.

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 19:10:48 GMT

I dreamt I was going to go somewhere with my friends. I got to the airport and sat around watching and talking with my friend when I realized I didn't have a ticket. I ran through the airport trying to find the ticket counter and my other friends. I finally found my other friends and I also saw a bunch of kids from my high school. I asked my friends where they bought their tickets from so I could get on the same flight and they didn't know. So, I borrowed someone's cell phone and kept trying to call Josh to ask him. Josh kept saying something and I couldn't understand. I was looking at a sign to find the word and logo he was talking about. It wasn't there and I kept digging through the brochures when I found it. I went to this desk right next to me with all this island-y kind of stuff on it and asked and they didn't know. So, I kept running and running and running and finally realized I wasn't going to get to go. I ran out of time. I was lost so I tried to find my way out to the train and me and this group of people [I remember a dad with glasses talking to his son], the hallways looked like they were from an ancient island .. and we walked until we found the elevator. We took the elevator to a train and I got on. I looked out the window and I just remember thinking, "Maybe I won't see the world." and I remembered I didn't drive and I couldn't remember how I even got to the airport. So, I called someone to get me and next thing I know, I was riding passenger seat with them trying to remember how I got to the airport and I started crying because I couldn't remember and my friends were gone. Then I woke up.

AIRPORT
To see a busy airport in your dream, signifies the desire for freedom, high ideals, ambition, and hopes. It is an indication that you are approaching a new departure in your life. Some new idea is taking off or is ready to take off. You may be experiencing a new relationship, new career path or new adventure.

TRAIN
To dream that you are on a train, is symbolic of your life's journey and suggests that you are on the right track in life and headed for the right direction. Alternatively, you have a tendency to worry needlessly over a situation that will prove to work out in the end.

RUNNING
To dream that you are running alone, signifies that you will advance to a higher position and surpass your friends in the race for wealth. Alternatively, you may be running from some situation or from temptation.

LOST
To dream that you are lost, suggests that you have lost your direction in life or that you have lost sight of your goals. You may be feeling worried and insecure about the path you are taking in life. Alternatively, you may be trying to adjust and get accustomed to a new situation in which the rules and conditions are ever changing.

PASSENGER
To dream that you are a passenger, suggests that you are not in control of your life and are letting others decide for you.

Yet another dream..

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 16:57:55 GMT

So, last night I had a few dreams. Here's the one I remember most.

I was coming home from somewhere. I walked into my apartment and walked down the hall. I kept noticing garbages all over -- particularly bottles. I was disgusted, but still I acted like it was an everyday thing. I kept walking to my apartment when I got stopped by someone. They had giant buckets of apples covered in caramel and nuts sitting in ice. I kept starting back down wondering why they were there and he was talking about what he was going to eat for dinner. I heard him say something about potatoes and point at a sack of potatoes laying on the ground. Half listening, I said, "Yeah, Potatoes. I think I am going to make twice-baked potatoes" and walked away. Finally, I reached my apartment. I opened the door and was outraged. The room was completely rearranged. All my stuff had been moved. I asked one of my roommates what happened and he started yelling. I started getting upset and yelling too. Then my other roommates came out to see what happened. Roomie 1 stopped yelling and picked up whatever he could find and started throwing stuff at the rest of us. He kept threatening me until finally I ran out the door and got out of there.

THREATEN
To dream that you are being threatened, signifies that you have some internalized fear of inadequacy which needs to be addressed.

POTATO
To see potatoes in your dream, symbolizes laziness and/or stupidity.

BOTTLE

My second dream was weird too. All I really remember though is going to class and all the teacher did was start class and obviously I was visibly upset because he came over while the others were working and asked what was wrong. I said something about how this wasn't the way school should be taught. He didn't even know our names, how could he teach us? And that was it.

Haha.
This is beginning to turn into a dream journal.

I had the weirdest dream last night.

Well, the first thing I remember from them is sitting at a table with a couple of friends. All of a sudden, I got a phone call from a number I didn't know, not even the area code. The area code was 414, which I just found out is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Anyways, it was a radio station calling to tell me I won Daft Punk tickets and they wanted to talk to me. The phone kept cutting out right before I was about it speak. Then next thing I know, I'm in a school walking down the hall and I see two boys fighting. One was my friend Amanda's brother, Dylan, and one was some random troublemaker kid I went to high school with. I tried pushing them apart then next thing I know, Dylan has me and the other kid up against the lockers. It was hard to breathe and I kept looking for someone to help me. Then one of my good friends came walking down the hall and made eye contact. I expected he would do something and it looked like he was. Dylan turned around and goes, "What are you going to do? Hit me?" and I kept looking at him like, "Help, please?" and all he said was, "I can't, I have further contingencies!" and he fell to his knees.

That is all I remember. Really odd.
Here's the breakdown.

TELEPHONE

PHONE NUMBER

FIGHTING
To see others fighting in your dream, suggests that you are unwilling to acknowledge your own problems and turmoil. You are not taking any responsibility or initiative in trying to resolve issues in your waking life.

BREATHE
To dream that you cannot breathe, indicates that you are feeling exhausted.

Dictionary definition of CONTINGENCY
- A future event or circumstance that is possible, but cannot be predicted with certainty.
- A provision for such an event or circumstance.
- The absence of certainty in events.
- The absence of necessity; The fact of being so without being so.

After analyzing it like that... I know EXACTLY what it means and how it applies to my daily life.
So, so, so WEIRD.

... I didn't even know what the word contingency meant when I woke up.

Hm. So, now what to do with that...
