"Cause She's Younger than You Therefore It Costs Less to Date Her" aka the Weirdest Dream Ever

This morning, I woke up literally wearing the look of 'wtf' all over my face. Like, when I stepped into the bathroom to put in my contacts, I still had that 'woah' look plastered on my mug. So, having some spare time on my hands, I went to ye olde dream dictionary to figure out what was up.

Here are some of the interpretations of things that were in my dream:

Refrigerator
To see or open a refrigerator in your dream, represents your chilling personality and/or cold emotions. The dream may also be telling you need to put some goal, plan, or situation on hold. Alternatively, it signifies that you have found and accomplished what you have been unconsciously seeking.


Marriage
To see a marriage in your dream, signifies commitment, harmony or transitional period. You are undergoing an important developmental phase in your life. The dream may also represent the unification of formerly separate or opposite aspects of yourself. In particular, it is the union of masculine or feminine aspects of yourself.�Consider the qualities and characteristics of the person that you are marrying. These are the qualities that you need to look at incorporating within yourself.

Hotel
To see a hotel in your dream, signifies a new state of mind or a shift in personal identity. You need to move away from your old habits and old way of thinking. Or you feel the need to temporarily escape from your daily life.

Carpet
To see a carpet in your dream, represents your way of protecting yourself from life's harsh realities. Alternatively, a carpet symbolizes luxury, comfort or richness. Consider the condition and designs of the carpet. Are you hiding something and sweeping it under the carpet?

Limousine

In addition to the above, if the limousine is black, then it suggests that your are unwilling to make changes or yield to others. Alternatively, it may symbolize prestige, wealth, and power.

A HOT Topic

I've taken the ASM Course Heat Treatment of Steel in an effort to diversify the number of things I can do. It started with one of those "for fun" kind of things (yes, most girls knit for fun, I case harden) but now I'm seeing that this could help mah career, so that's added a new dimension to things. Regardless of the payoff, I'm glad I've taken this course, it's blowing my mind. The topic's just so far out and groovy.

On a side note, if I were ever to work as a heat treat engineer or in a related capacity, the temptation is there to make a tshirt that says "Heat Treaters make it Hard."

In other news (and Mr. Deez heard me kvetching about this today), sitting at the bar. Yes, I was completing my heat treat tests while drinking beer and watching the Cubs game at BW3 - anyway, I've come to the conclusion that technical tests with graphs, numbers, and drawings of crystal structures and furnaces is the 2nd best way to keep men away at a bar, the first best way being a baby (preferably a screaming one). There was a fellow sitting next to me working on the Chicago Tribune and New York Times crossword puzzles (who am I to judge, with my test taking and all) that was aloof to everything, except the bartendress saying something about birth control. He butted in with "I found out it doesn't always work 6 weeks ago when I got my girlfriend pregnant." I proceeded to scoot my chair 2 clicks to the left (that would be away from this person).

Other Monday notables - Change Master training at the bank building downtown. I'm having a good time with this and am excited about having the word MASTER on my resume. And since we're downtown, I get to eat out of the food carts. Anytime you can eat out of a box with chopsticks, the opportunity can't be missed. I also found 'cheap' gas on War and University for $3.29/gal. WTF at that being new cheap - I guess that's the new normal. That's a change that everyone opposes yet accepts - the perfect topic for discussion in Change Master training Day 2 tomorrow.

Second to last volleyball game was tonight and lost 0-3. The other team had a gal that played volleyball for Bradley University. Her spikes were scary until Brittany told me to pull down her shorts next time she jumped up at the net. It's been a long time since I've played against someone that hit the ball that hard.


Today's Count:

amt. beer consumed: 96 ounces
# aces and kills in vball: 3 and 2 (setting is fun, but I have to make opportunities to spike it)
# miles driven: 42 (the country is nice, but i miss living IN Peoria)
Memphis.chokeCount()++1;
