the dream walker

sooo... this morning i had a dream. it was pretty crazy, to the point where i just woke myself up, for fear of what might go down. so i'm gonna talk about it.

i was in home depot (don't ask) and for some reason they had a little tv playing a nightmare on elm street movie (and a nonexistent one at that.) in the movie, a bunch of kids were climbing out of the ground (?!), and i turned around and next thing i know are walking up the slope towards me! i assume the movie was an ANOES movie only because three of the kids look like elm street kids (which would make them crawling out of a hole in the ground not so weird). one girl looked kristen from movie 4 with long brown hair, one boy was glen form his hair to his shoes, and another girl looked just like tina. there were, like, two other kids, but i don't really remember them. it had to have been the 80's (judging by the outfits and hair, including mine) and this is exactly how it went down, dialogue and all:

Me: (standing there like 'wha?')
Kristen-girl: "omigosh, i feel like i've been sleep forever!
Glen: I feel dead (hahahahahaha, that was corny even in my dream)
(all of a sudden, Jason(?!) storms in with a baseball bat)
Glen: Yo! let's squash!
(we run out)

yes, that's how it happened. we ran away (obviously) and we ran out of the home depot and we ran into a school(!). as we were running out of the door, jason threw the baseball bat and it smashed a window. the 80's kids went to the left, and i decided to go in the front office. i decided to take a pee when i was being chased (i don't know).

the reason i woke up:
1. as i came out of the bathroom, i wasn't sure if jason was still chasing those kids, so...
2. i didn't even though if the kids (and jason) knew i was there. it was a dream, so...
3. (and this is the big one) i had a feeling that freddy was gonna show up (those kids?!) so...

i have this crazy ability to wake up when i think a dream is gonna get scary. i kinda want to know what happens, but i don't know if they knew i was there or not... sooooo... yeah. it was a crazy dream. good times.

the story

The summer after 7th grade was an eventful one. My friends and I were just arriving at our summer camp. We knew we were assigned to certain groups, but we didn’t know which ones. We were so nervous. Aubriana, Savannah, Lili, and I made our way to our way to the main building to find out our fate.
When we got there, we found out that we were in group B with four other girls: Claire, Amy, Danni, and Rina. The counselors directed us to the table where we were supposed to sit. Only one other girl was there when we sat down. She was really… happy to see us.
“Hi, I’m Claire!” she exclaimed, “Are you guys in my group? We should be best friends!”
We nodded along nicely and hoped that the other three girls would be less excitable. Two more girls came and sat down.
“Hey, I’m Danni, and this is my friend Amy.” Danni said.
They both seemed really nice, but we were all distracted by the last girl to arrive. She came with a giant pink bag with rhinestones stars all over it. She sat down and immediately started complaining.
“Omigosh, I can’t believe my mom is making me do this. This camp is so grody. I should have totally gone to camp Sakemah. They have their own pool and they use salt water. My hair can’t take chlorine.”
We all looked at each other and decided that it was better not to interrupt. Before we knew it, the counselors were herding us out to the buses to take us to the local pool.
When we got there, my group went into the changing room to put on our bathing suits, and then we went out to the pool. If we did well, we got to play around in the deep end with the older kids.
“Okay girls, who wants to go first?” the instructor asked excitedly.
This is the part I was dreading. I couldn’t swim, and I wasn’t ready to show people I didn’t know that. We all looked at each other. Danni stepped forward, “I don’t care, I’ll go first”
We soon found out that Danni was an amazing swimmer. We were all upset at how high she set the bar, and afraid to take our turn. The counselor let her go, and then asked for the next person. Lili, Aubriana, Savannah and I turned to each other.
“Who wants to go next?” I asked sarcastically.
“Pssh, not me.” Aubriana said quickly.
Claire stepped up, “I’ll go best friends!” No one disagreed.
Claire was good, better than any of us. Now I was really starting to get nervous. I didn’t care about swimming in front of my friends, but all of the people in the deep end were watching now.
“Next!” the counselor called. We looked at Amy.
“What?
“Do you want to go?” Lili asked nervously.
“Um, I guess? Yeah, I’ll go.” We were relieved.
Our feelings were short lived, because Amy was good too. The situation was getting dire. We knew what the counselor was going to say, and Aubriana turned to Rina.
“Hey, do you want to go?”
“Really? I can’t get in this, it’ll ruin my complexion. And I know I told you about my hair.”
“It’s okay, I’ll go.” I said. I was trying to be brave, but my façade was faltering. I got into the pool.
“You only have to do the backstroke, so you don’t have to worry.” She said it like it would be easy.
I turned around and tried to do what I saw the swimmer on TV do. It didn’t work.
“Just think about it one arm at a time.” The counselor told me.
I tried again. This time I did better, but I didn’t feel like I did good enough.
“I can’t let you go in the deep end today, but you can try again on Friday. I was hoping Friday would never come.

hahaha.

Lili, Aubriana, Rina, Savannah, Danni, Amy, and Claire are all made up characters. i took the names (and Claire and Rina's personalitites) from Hawaii Gone Wrong, one of my favorite shows on youtube. thank god for watermelon813 :D

accomplishments

So I actually got stuff done! I finished my paper, and I ended up not having to lie as much as I thought I would. My cousin chantelle told me how she "put some lies into a truth." I ended up doing exactly the same thing. It was a good thing, cause I didn't want to lie for a good grade.
----------------------------
Even though it's not happening until this winter, I was thinking about filming somemore of my series House Rules. I've been holding back because I haven't even finished beautiful dirty rich yet, but I don,t know. Also, I have ideas for a holiday episode, but I need something for the in between!
----------------------------
I just thought of my vlog on youtube. I haven't done one I a while, and I'm not sure about the future of it now. I don't like to look at myself on camera, so I'm thinking about just having the channel and not doing the vlogs. I also thought of keeping it for more serious stuff and linking with my deviantart and my livejournal.
----------------------------
That's all for today. By the way, my sister won her soccer game :)

am i wrong for this?

So this is my first journey into proper blogging. I don't really know what this is gonna be all about, but as off now, it's just my life.
-----------------
So I have paper due on friday, and I have no idea what to write about. It's supposed to be a reflection of something significant that happened in our life, but I can't think of anything that has significance to me that I would want to tell someone. Just today I thought about making up a story. I mean, how can it go wrong? There's no one that can say that it didn't happen, and I'd know all the details. My teacher doesn't know me... but somehow it doesn't feel right. So I'm uber stuck. I gotta figure something out before tomorrow afternoon D: uuuuggggh
