so i was sitting in my excrutiatingly boring but mandatory ethnic studies class today, and i glanced out the window briefly to look at a guy walking by (some things never change). all of a sudden i imagined myself climbing out the window without anyone noticing, you know, real subtle-like. and then i thought of diving out the window, cuz that might be faster and less likely to draw attention. then i thought of morphing myself into a gelatinous liquid and sort of sliding out the window, which would be the quietest.

i've been thinking like that a lot lately -- sort of like woody allen-type ridiculous situations. for example: i had a dream last night that my friend ivan was talking to me about this guy that i am/was interested in except that i didn't think he knew him (and i don't think he knows him in real life....DOES HE?!?), and i thought he was referring to this other guy i was interested in during my senior year of high school, who also happens to have the same name. let's say the name is mmmbruce, which it's not, even though i did have a thing for a guy named bruce, but that was not senior year of high school, that was sophomore year college, and besides this fictitious name is mmmbruce anyways.

anyways, so in the dream ivan goes, "oh yea, so leese, you should stop by the party tonight" (which, i swear, he is always saying to me because i always see him around rush time and he always invites me to those parties, which aren't so bad really, i mean, is dancing on window ledges ever bad?, but the guys are so spikeyhairbaggypantsblackshirtredfaced and the chance they'll talk to you is like 1 in 10,000 because they are, after all, ASIAN). so i go "oh yea um maybe" and ivan goes, "well mmmbruce is gonna be there." and i assume he's talking about the mmmbruce i had a crush on in high school, so i'm like "uhh ok whatever" and then ivan looks me in the eye and goes "no, leese, mmmbruce is gonna be there," obviously indicating the current mmmbruce. and then ivan proceeds to give me the background on the current mmmbruce -- like oh he used to run track in high school, and he was really good, and he still runs every now and then, which is why i see him around the gym sometimes (it all made sense in the dream, see). i woke up all excited cuz i knew a little bit more dirt on mmmbruce and almost went to the track to look for him but i realized that it was just a dream.

so the woody allen-esque part comes in here -- i was talking to freesia tonight about another guy who i've stumbled upon who fits the current bill (dark-rimmed glasses, artsy type) and also has the same frakin name -- mmmbruce. and i said wouldn't it be funny if i had a dream where all the mmmbruces were in it and i'm talking to the one mmmbruce about anouther mmmbruce but i think he's referring to the high school mmmbruce, who has to make a cameo and be all "hey lisa" so i can say "NO, NOT YOU! i liked you in like high school and i was so over it like hella fast!" and all the mmmbruces are everywhere and causing much chaos in the life of lisa.

you know, just like in real life.
