I had just moved into a new house and the residents were introducing themselves to each other. Someone to the left of me turned to face me and tried to sell me insurance. I looked ahead to see that the kitchen cupboards were stocked with paper plates. I felt a wave of shame for not knowing what to do.

I walked into the store and saw an old couple talking enthusiastically about the new Smash installment. A friend picked up a new DS, citing its new functionality of being used as a phone. This option is only enabled however if the first thing you do when you got it was to connect to the network “ffc_sphere”.

Our plane landed and we were getting ready to play an RPG. We were making our characters when someone complained that they weren’t certain what to prepare for. This attitude slightly irritated me but I kept it to myself.

I was sitting behind an old lady on the bus when a recently married friend came on board. She and her grandma tried not to recognize each other when in reality they have tried to assassinate one another many times in the past. “Make sure you’re not looking at your dead granddaughter” someone said from the back of the bus. I tried to write down what I could remember from my dream in my notebook. I only managed to write down “We’ve landed” and date the entry as “Sep.” before I was interrupted by someone mocking me for being silent.

We were in some tropical area where the main way of getting around was by swimming through canals. In order to get to the city, I had to swim over the river via an aqueduct (“canal bridge”). I looked below to see a swimming relay race in heavy tarps which made the participants resemble monsters.

I was wearing a skirt on the way back and when I got the bridge, I noticed that the water level had risen significantly. The river was already flowing into the waterway and I felt that I could be swept away at a moment’s notice. I turned around to take some pictures as I pedaled backwards.
