Okay, I'm hyper and I'm VERY happy and everyone's asleep and cannot share in my joy (and spasticness - I was literally bouncing around in circles)!

I think anyone who knows me or knows anything about me knows that I'm a huge Meat Loaf fan. Tour dates for 2005 have finally been set. The closest one to here is Clearwater, FL, about a 5 hour drive from here (by Yahoo's guestimate). Tickets go on sale on May 6, at 10 a.m. If I'm at work, I'll have the ticketmaster number with me or someone will be sitting here with my card at the computer. I am going again this year! It's been eleven years since I've last gotten to see him in concert. (I'm 25 now. Do the math.)

Hell, this year, if he's hitting Atlanta too, I might try to do both. I don't think I can swing Clearwater and Hollywood, FL, but I can damned sure try for Clearwater and Atlanta.

And when you get lots of phone posts on September 12th, you'll know why.

And that was my post o' dorkiness. The End.

 So anyway, I had a rerun dream last night. It's one I've had before, and it confused me as much then as it did now. Well, it wasn't precisely a rerun because some small things were changed.

Basically it took place at the old hotel for AWA (the one that's now an airport landing strip). I was sharing a room with Katsuko, Desolate, and Klepto. I think Mama-chan and Rein might have been staying in the room also, but they weren't present at that point. The rooms had been upgraded to include room-to-room text messaging. On the text-messaging machine, the received message appeared on a screen on the left and you typed and paid to send (receiving was free) on the right.

So, in the dream, it's Saturday night, and the four of us are getting ready to go down to the Yaoi Panel when the machine beeps for a text message received. We all kinda look at each other in confusion, then Desolate goes over to pull it up. She's quiet for a moment then calls the rest of us over. On the screen is a message from Room 409, the room Rika, Robin, and River are staying it. I don't remember the message word-for-word, but the gist was 'You suck as a human being, why did we bother being your friend, we only pretended to do so but the game isn't fun anymore, I hope you die, etc etc etc.'

Well, of course, Katsuko went off. Next thing I know, me, Desolate, and Klepto are literally hanging off her trying to hold her back. I don't even know what she was saying, but it was pretty damn bad.

...And that's when the telemarketer called and woke me up.

 I don't think there's enough Prozac in the world to even me out right now. Or heavy drugs. Or group hugs.

I promised Mum on the phone last night I wasn't going to be 'Papa Bear' to the whole group. I guess I didn't say anything about not letting things tie me up in knots. The latest drama is, Rika is having last minute qualms and coming up with reasons why she shouldn't be moving, at least right now. Fortunately (maybe) though, events of 2002 taught me not to say a word about what I'm feeling and bottle everything up. Probably not a good thing, but it saves confrontations and probably saves friendships.

GAHHHH!!

Somehow, that did not help.

 Writer's block sucks. I want to finish this chapter of Color of Life, but nothing's wanting to come out. It's like having mental constipation. I officially hate it. I think I'm going to go to bed and see if I feel more creative in the morning.

 So, for the time being this is going to be my outlet journal. I mean, it's not exactly a place on DMnet that will be stumbled on, even with the hint of "One Song Designs". Hopefully the leap from "One Song Designs" to the "glory" subdomain is not easily made.

I can hear Klepto back in her room on the phone, since she apparently got it charged. I dread the thought of what's being said back there. I mean, seriously dread. And of course, to top it all off, my ulcer's been giving me crap all day - and it was pulling out all the stops: vomiting, naseau, dizziness, the works. I'll be glad when Katsuko gets home.

Anyway, I guess I should go do the dishes (not my job!) so I can work on Katsuko's and my 'going to work' foods. Yeah, food, then I'll go work on Color of Life. Laters!

 This is a test post to see how the new layout will look.
