I'm awake again. I sleep pretty randomly now. It usually feels better to lay still, so...
Anyway...

I had a dream that included my old grade school. Thankfully the classmates were absent. Only kid I recognized lived down the street from my Grandma when I was younger. o_O Wierd how 'background' characters in dreams are... like... people you don't know.
There was the little girl who had skinned her knee. She was wearing pink shorts.
Then I was late for class because I was too busy trying to pick up papers that were all big and akward. I could recognize in my mind that I was actually no longer in school and didn't need the papers, but for some reason I felt the need to take them with me.
I was too embarassed to go back to class once I got all my papers in hand because I knew everyone would look at me and the teacher would ask questions- like why it took me two hours to pick up an over-sized sketchbook and some loose leaf paper.
So I was there fretting in one of the modules the school had when the wind picked up. From the view of the city you had at the school, I could see several tornados coming.
I hate tornados.
They scare me.
One of the tornados went right by the module and the weather up and cleared. I then realized it was 3:58 precisely and Mom would have been waiting to pick me up! She would be so worried! I hopped in a bus with that boy and some other random people to drive ten feet to the parking lot.
I saw Mom and told her about the tornado and the boy was saying how it was farther away then I thought it was. That upset me for some reason. I remember he said 10 feet and I was more like "10 paces, stupid!" which is probably farther...
Then the girl in the pink shorts was limping by and I asked if I could help her, but she ignored me.

And that was it.

I can't imagine what could have brought on that dream. A boy I haven't thought of in years, a school and a time I desperately avoid thinking of... doesn't make much sense.
Usually I can pick out what gave me a dream. Playing a video game before bed, thinking about one thing or another- this was just random.

Not much else to say. It was pretty surreal (if surreal means what I think it means), but certainly not one of my more graphic, physical dreams.

Hmn. What to do now?

Wow. It sure gets dark quickly in the Winter...
