Long time no see! For good reason though - veterinary school got in the way. Figured I'd start back up with a good one.
I was in a physics lab in Brooklyn doing some research. I get on a bus to leave and it's the wrong bus, that ends up in the Bronx. The bus driver said I could just take that bus right back to the physics lab. I get back, and get my car, and all of the sudden, I'm back driving in ST. Kitts. On my way back, there was an accident on the road and for some reason, I needed to pull over and reset my GPS (laughable because there are no GPSs here on the island). So I stop to fix it, and apparently I need to get out of my car to do so. When I'm about to get back to my car to get going again, I realize it's not where I left it. So I'm looking, and I knew I left it behind the ambulance, so I begin to freak out that someone stole my car. While walking around looking for it, I see someone backing up in it, and I scream, "Oh FUCK no!!" and start running towards the car. I get to the passenger door, and grab onto it, and yank the door open. (The car-jacking does not surprise me, since my roommates and I had seen one going down a few weeks ago.) The guy starts driving forward, and I use all the upper body strength I can muster, and lift myself up into the car and shut the door. I start yelling, cursing and crying at this guy, begging him not to steal my car, and I only had a little bit of time left on the island. He was telling me he was a former Ross student too, dropped out, and this was now how he was supporting himself. He then begged me to stop crying, because he actually felt bad for me. Somehow we get to talking, and realize we had a lot in common. So he drives me to my house (stupid enough to show this guy that was just trying to steal my car where I live) and he dropped me and the car off and asked for my number. Not wanting him to steal my car again, I have him my digits.
He called me later that day and just wanted to talk. We talked for hours, and then he asked if this was real, or if I had anyone else. I tell him that I have a boyfriend back in the states, stupid move on my part. He began screaming and getting upset. Trying to calm him down over the phone was useless, because he wouldn't listen. Then I remembered, he knows where I live. I go to tell my roommates, who were outside, about the whole situation. As I'm explaining it to them, I see a shadow creeping over towards the door. Realizing it's him, I run over and hold my knife (that I apparently carried with me outside) up to him, threatening, "do NOT touch my roommates or steal my car!" This turned into a wrestling match, with him trying to get the knife from my hand, and me not letting him.
When I woke up, I was most scared of working in a physics lab!

Death
Not only have I been slacking on writing, but I've been slacking on the dreaming!
Since the last dream post, I've been stressing...I got into Veterinary school, which is causing alot of this stress, so I've been having some pretty negative dreams lately.
Two weeks ago, my brother left for a month for a class in Poland. The night before his trip, giving my fear of flying, I of course had a dream about it. In the dream, the airline called and told us that they could not locate the plane he was on, and it hadn't landed at the airport it was supposed to land at. I of course woke up crying.
The week after, I had a dream about both parents (in different dreams) dying as well. The one involving my dad is a valid fear, however. From my upstairs bathroom, you can stand at the mirror and look down to the left, where through a window, you can see the garage. Lately my dad has been working on the garage, just fixing up the outside, cleaning, painting, etc. I was straightening my hair in the upstairs bathroom, when for some reason, I get the urge to look out the window. So I look, and had to do a double take, because I saw my father, sprawled out on the ground, outside, not moving. The second dream, with my mother, I don't remember all that well, I just remember running through my house when someone was screaming for help with CPR. Scary none the less.

Nice boobs
I'm beginning to find a trend here....this last one also somewhat involved a previous acquaintance of mine that recently got a surgical enhancement. To understand this the best, one would have to know her. In my dream I was wearing this really nice long beach dress that was flattering. I had multiple people telling me that my boobs were perfect. Perfect size and perfect shape. This then upset said acquaintance.
I'm thinking my subconscious is trying to tell me I need to boost my confidence and self esteem, which I'm working on!

Rockin the washboard abs
So this one involves 2 people that are definitely not my favorite people. I was a hostess at a party, and there were long tables everywhere. One former acquaintance came up to me and said, "didn't you get my calls?? What is going on with her??" (Talking about someone from work) I just looked at her, and walked away. (In real life I just ignored the calls and messages.) Then I was cleaning a table, while my boyfriend and another former acquaintance sat at another table. When I had known this person, she was always trying to be more and more attractive, thin, and to show everyone up. For some reason, I either had a really high cut shirt that exposed my abdomen, or no shirt on at all, and to add to it, I also had washboard abs! Now this girl, being the self centered person she was, hated the fact that I had abs because she didn't have them, and was scowling at me while I was cleaning the table. That made me feel good in the dream, and then again as I woke up. Then I ran to the mirror thinking all my hard work finally paid off, but no washboard abs! Until next dream, PAYCE.

Drinking while preggers
I had a hard time sleeping at all last night so it's a wonder I had any dreams at all. There was a bunch of people away on vacation somewhere, I never knew where. We were at a nice bar, having some drinks and just hanging out. Then all of the sudden, my boyfriend was behind me, and I didn't know he was there, and I turned around to him and said, "Man, I totally forgot that I can't drink when I'm pregnant!" He turns to me and says, "and you had all of those??" pointing at the 3 empty margarita glasses in front of me. Another to add to my growing list of me-being-pregnant dreams

Too much SVU, not enough Shaun White!
So I've had a dream hiatus! Nothing noteworthy in a while! Let's see...
Two nights ago I had a dream that Shaun White and I were good friends and were hanging out. I might have to explain a little bit here though...my mom had picked out a few guys to be her future son-in-laws: first there was Derek Jeter, then a few years ago there was Apollo Ohno. Then in 2006 came the "flying tomato", Shaun White. And since the Olympics have been on this week, he's been a popular topic in my house.
Last night was a little more detailed. My parents were going away on vacation, so I was outside saying goodbye to them before they drove off. I noticed a creeper standing on our property, so after they left I just went inside and locked all the doors. Apparently I took a shower because then I was in a towel. I saw the guy outside the house looking in the windows, so I ran upstairs to my room. When I got up there I heard a door shutting, so then I was thinking, "shit, he's in the house." So I jump into my bed and pull the covers over my head as I hear him rummaging in my dad's room across the hall. I try calling 911 as quietly as I can, but the line was busy, so I try texting 911 my address and what's going on. Then my door opens, and someone sits on the bed. I then feel tapping on my shin and I peek out. He's sitting there at the edge of my bed just smiling at me. His face seems to be covered in shadow the whole time of course. Then someone else steps out from behind him. This one is someone that I know, however. The second guy just looks at me, and then grabs me from the bed and holds my arms behind my back. I try kicking but to my disappointment, it does nothing as he grabs at my towel. (Then next part is very disturbing to me, and I'm thinking I watch too much L&O: SVU, so you can imagine what happens.) Then this switches to just me and the second guy, the one that I know, but this time I'm looking right at him, and I'm not fighting. There is a second part to this dream but now that it is later I cannot remember all of it. The only part that I can recall is my "rescuer" of sorts, who is of course, none other than Shaun White.
Well hopefully this means I'll be back into my dreams! No more dream blocks!

Ok so I haven't had dreams that I remember in a WHILE....but I finally had one last night!
So my parents went to South Carolina for a few days, and they left this morning. The woke me up before they left, at like 6:30. Since I didn't have work until 1, I went back to sleep for a bit. Now I hate being in my house all alone, and with my rents gone, I have the huge house to myself (well, Pop's here, but he stays to himself in his room all day). Of course once I get back to sleep, I have a dream that there is someone trying to break into my house. First he tried climbing on the roof above the kitchen (which is right outside the window of my room) and tried getting in through my window, but I saw him and shut the window almost on his foot. Then I watch him go for the bathroom window and I run to close that one. After that he jumps off the roof and I run down the stairs to try and find where he was trying to get in next. I call 911 at some point, because the police show up. Before they come in, I find him creeping next to the stairs, and since he didn't see me, I jumped on his back and we fell to the ground. I stayed there, pinning him down until the cops came in.
Of course now this made me more paranoid about people breaking in.

Ritalin
The past few weeks I've been convinced I have something like ADD or the like, and I've been hearing about people taking Ritalin. So of course it was only appropriate I have a dream about it!
One of the doctors I work with was offering me some pills that were left over from school. He gave me 4, and I only took one. He asked, "what are you being a wimp for, take all 4!" So I take all 4, and I wasn't able to do work the rest of the day because I was just as relaxed as I could be without peeing myself.
Too bad this can't happen in real life ahha.

Depressing
Last nights two dreams were a little crazy and depressing. One began with me laying in bed, sleeping (yeah sleeping in my dream haha) and I heard my dog at my door. Usually if she wants to come in my room she uses her head to push it open since it doesn't really close. So she kept trying to open it, with no luck because of the humidity expanding the wood of the door and the frame. So I went to the door to see what she was doing. She looks at me frantically, whimpering, and runs down the stairs, so I follow. She runs right to my mom, who looked passed out. She stands in front of my mom looking at me, looking back at her, so I go to my mom and she wasn't breathing. I started freaking out and thinking of what I needed to do, so I get her down onto the floor and begin CPR. Then I wake up. Very disturbing.
Number two was disturbing as well, but this one involved my dog, Cocoa. I was in the kitchen, and I think there were other people there with me. All of the sudden she fell on the floor and started to have a seizure. I was panicking, and ran over to her to hold her head. In my head I was thinking, oh no, she's dying, oh shit oh shit. Then I wake up.
I don't know what these mean, but I do not like them at all.

Ex's
Long time, no type. I finally got some time to sit down and write a little. Last night's were two different dreams about two different ex's.
The first began with me looking at my hand, and I had an engagement ring on my hand (for those who know me, know that I don't really want to get married, so seeing a ring on my hand would freak me out ahah). So I look up, trying to figure out what's going on. I was in my bedroom, in my own place, which looked alot like my parents bedroom. I saw a wedding dress hanging on the closet door, and there were other people in dresses in my room. I walk out of the room to another part of the apartment/house and I see guys in tuxes running around. I also see my ex standing in the living room, in the fanciest tux (oddly enough, in real life he just got married). And he says to me "MJ (a pet name, long story) get back in the bedroom! I'm not supposed to see you yet today!" I didn't say anything, I just had like a "holy shit" look on my face, and I just turned around and went back into the bedroom. At that point I'm thinking, that's the guy I'm spending the rest of my life with. All this time, thinking somewhere in my dream mind, about a guy I loved so much and I was betraying him. When I woke up, I knew this guy I was thinking about was Matt.
Dream number two was a couple of friends and I were sitting at a diner. I remember for some reason, my hair was curly, I was wearing my new white-ish hoodie and a nice blue halter shirt. I had my arms folded on the table, with my head resting in them, kind of hiding my face. An ex of mine walks by, and I thought he hadn't seen me. I watch him go towards the window where they put all the prepared food before the waitress' bring it to the tables. He grabs a plate from the window, and it just has a pickle on it (I LOVE pickles, haha, despite all the dirty jokes), and strangely enough, I remember the pickle was cut 4 times lengthwise.. So he brings me the plate and puts it right in front of me and then sits there, across the table from me.

Lightning
Last night, before I went to bed, I saw these really cool videos on lightning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh15VjGkK5Y). Also, I think there was a thunder/lightning storm overnight. Between the two of these, of course I have a dream about it.
I was in a cabin/tent/shack thing, and I needed to get back to the main building of where ever I was. It started raining and thundering like mad, of course when I needed to get out of there. Then the lightning started getting really close. It then began striking right in front of us. It wasn't as loud as one might think a lightning strike might be when it's a couple yards away. I decided to make a run for it, and attempted to run to the main building, dodging lightning strikes right in front of me. At least I made it to the main building after all that dodging.

4th
So last night's dreams was more like just playing out different scenarios on how today was going to go, just very detailed. The place where I work is on Victory Blvd, the part of Victory that was going to get shut down for the parade from 11:30a - 3p, and there are no real side streets that are close to park on and get out of there. We're closed on the 4th, but we still need people to come in to walk/feed/check on the boarders that are there. Seeing as how I am going to my boyfriends for the remainder of the weekend, I wanted to make sure we were out of there by 11a so we didn't get stuck there watching the parade.
My dreams all pretty much started the same way, we were cleaning and walking and ish. One ended in us getting out on time, so that one was good. Another ended in us finishing rightt as they were shutting down the street, so we were stuck and we proceeded to sit on the roof of our job and watch the parade go by. A third version was that I was fighting with the cops to let us off the street because I really needed to get out of there. Let's just say some things got out of hand and I had to watch the parade from the back of the 5-0 car. I think the last one ended in me just backing out of the driveway onto the street and going with the parade. Thankfully the first one is the one that actually happened.

Rain rain go away
Soo awesome summer, eh? Not much of a summer...it's more like April showers bring...May and June showers. Hopefully July is going to be better.
I decided to make this blog mostly about my dreams, just so I can remember them and possibly go back later on and read them. I tried to write them down in pen in a journal but I would forget about the journal or lose it or something, so I figured this was a little more convenient.
My dream last night I don't remember much of by now, since it's 10:30p. What I do remember though is waking up one day and my car was all smashed up in my yard. The front was dented in as if I got in a head on collision, and there were cracks all over the windows, as if it was also beaten with a bat. I was freaking out about what happened and that I have to get it fixed in order to sell it before I go to back school. My mom was yelling at me asking if I was drunk when I drove home the night before, but I couldn't remember anything that had happened that night. I woke up looking out my window to make sure my car was ok.

Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?
I figured it was about time to post again.
So I'm sitting here, watching Run's House and making cupcakes with the silicone baking sheet I got for Christmas. They're not coming out too hot right now, they're very mini. Oh well, someone will eat them.
Work's going well, I got my bonus, which was awesome. I'm still pulling 10+ hours over time a week, so it's pretty much all I do now. I have dreams that people I work with are working in my room like it doesn't bother them that it's my room. People have told me these dreams mean that I've been spending too much time with these people. But what are ya gonna do, money's money.
I was talking with the head doctor at work during a surgery, and it was really a heart to heart (which, if you knew him, it is very rare). He was telling me about what it was like when he went to school, and what it was like having his wife there. He had said that they wanted to get married in the Spring, but he got his acceptance to the veterinary school in Saint Kitt's in January. So they got married on the 3rd and then she went with him the next week to his school. It made me really think about how everything is going to change if I do go to school out there. Since they have trimesters there, the program is only 2 1/2 years long, as opposed to the 4 years it would take here in the states. And because of laws being different in the Islands, if you go to school there you come out better in surgery because you can get better practice. One problem I have with all of that is a certain someone coming with me. Getting a job there is going to be close to impossible, so I don't want to make him come if he's going to be doing nothing. Also, seeing as how the program is jam packed into 2 1/2 years, you only get a week off the whole year. Either way, it would be really hard. I guess this calls for some serious thinking and talking. I just hate making decisions like this.
Well that's all on my ramblings for today. Back to cupcakes and thinking while I watch silly MTV shows.
"I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it."
So I'm sitting here, watching Run's House and making cupcakes with the silicone baking sheet I got for Christmas. They're not coming out too hot right now, they're very mini. Oh well, someone will eat them.
Work's going well, I got my bonus, which was awesome. I'm still pulling 10+ hours over time a week, so it's pretty much all I do now. I have dreams that people I work with are working in my room like it doesn't bother them that it's my room. People have told me these dreams mean that I've been spending too much time with these people. But what are ya gonna do, money's money.
I was talking with the head doctor at work during a surgery, and it was really a heart to heart (which, if you knew him, it is very rare). He was telling me about what it was like when he went to school, and what it was like having his wife there.

2008....
I've been playing around with the idea of setting one of these up for a while, and here I am, making my first and last update of the year.
I think that 2008 has been pretty good for me. I finally graduated college, and got the best present from the best boyfriend =). We went on a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico in May, which was awesome. The summer wasn't so great because a job was really hard to come by. I finally got a call back from a veterinary hospital here on the Island and it's been going great there since August. In the 4 months I've been there, I've made it all the way up to being one of the 3 main techs there (the other 2 are the manager and a guy that's been there for 5 years), which is quite the accomplishment if you know the head doctor there. Overall everyone there has been so good to me and have helped me so much. Christmas last week was good too, got to hang out with the family and Matt for a bit, got to work a bunch haha. All in all this year has been good. In the past week, I've realized how much my best friend and my boyfriend really understand, and know me, and I love them for it.
I probably began this on a not-so-good day. Work was a little depressing today, with an abuse case that came in and all. ::rant!:: I really can't believe some people and how they treat other living things. Sometimes I think that for what some people to to animals, they deserve a punishment equivalent to what they would get if they did the same thing to a human. Things like that just really piss me off to no end.
Next year seems to hold some promise too. I plan on taking one or two classes at CSI so I can apply to veterinary school, probably to St. George's in Grenada and Ross in Saint Kitt's. And of course I plan on continuing my job at SIVG because it's awesome (and getting a raise would be even more awesome.) So that's it, that's my year in a nutshell.
"In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain."
