ocelotDreams are interesting things. Sometimes they make no sense at all. Sometimes they're a blatant slap in the face from the subconscious.
Last night was somewhere in between. Actually, I can't remember the dream except for a scene where I was sitting in the theater in SF where my ex and I saw "American Pimp" (Don't ask).
I don't think anything much happened in the dream itself, but I was thinking about it while in the shower, and came to a better (well, in my mind, anyways) understanding of what went wrong between us. Basically, lack of communication and too much outside stress. Really, nothing I haven't realized before. I just feel I have a more empathic and two-sided understanding of it now.
Survey Below...
1. Who was the last person you yelled at?
Heck if I know. I don't yell often.
2. When was the last time you kissed someone?
Do pets count? (No...get your mind out of the gutter. It was a purely platonic kiss)
3. What was the last memorable book you read?
Uh...can't remember. I've been reading way too many utter crap books lately.

This morning, while listening to BNL while getting ready for work.
5. What's the last thing you want to hear from your parents?
Um...that someone has died.
6. When did you last go for a walk in the park?
Two weeks ago, when my mom was visiting.
7. When did you last do your ironing?
During my senior year in high school (about four years ago) I was in a karate tournament, and I ironed my gi (karate uniform) for that. I'm not much into ironing :)
8. When was the last time you smiled all day?
*All* day? Never. Probably came pretty close about a year ago.

Nope
24. What is you favorite gemstone?

Yes

I guess. I walk/ride around a lot, but I'm not the type who goes and works out for the sole purpose of working out (though I'm trying to get better about that, since I don't always have as good a reason as I do now for riding my bike and hour a day).
42. Could you kill if your life was threatened?
I don't know - I've never had the opportunity to find out. I suspect I could, though.
