Well for starters on the way down to the student lounge I passed by a guy who looked (at least from the single glance I had) like a heavy set bearded Daniel Jackson.

That reminded me of the dream I had this morning.



I had to cut through some government building (military) on my way to work each morning. On the way through at one point I passed by a female I use to know on my first ship - one I didn't get along with. She was busy screaming at someone over something small. I don't remember if I said anything to the person she was screaming at but I remember thinking something along the lines of ... "I remember when she did *this*" (one of her screw-ups). I may have held my tongue though because I wasn't really suppose to be cutting through the building and she might try to get retribution on me for undercutting her "authority".

Also I remember running into another female - one from my second ship - and talking about my upcoming plans with my life etc.

but then... then I was watching Dr. Beckett reading some printout from the computer. Next to the keyboard was a piece of paper with 3 rips in it, dividing it into 4 strips.

I grew very concerned because I knew he was reading messages from a dangerous foe - a high-tech Moriarty for lack of an actual name to give the villain. His calling-card was the number 4 so I knew the small piece of paper was possibly rigged somehow and I grabbed it and threw it over the balcony.

It proved to be a regular piece of paper but the printout... somehow this Moriarty of his had rigged that instead. On the back of the printout several dots were flashing yellow. It was rigged to explode.

So I threw it over the balcony too and watched the paper burst into flames on the way down. Luckily it burned up before causing any damage to the people on the sidewalk below.

Then I was talking to Dr. House (not sure if Beckett became House or if they were just colleges) but apparently this Moriarty was actually House's arch nemesis.

I don't remember more except waking up... and wanting to go back to sleep to see what happened next. ... When I fell back asleep I dreamed a little about talking to House about this enemy but I don't recall the actual conversation.

freaky dream. gonna try to write what i can while i can

i was visiting a foreign facility in the middle east and my group was taken prisoner. But they only knew that I was prisoner... the other girls were hiding with me. We were waiting to break out.

the other girls didn't like waiting, but during this time... I was making connections with others through the complex, gaining allies who knew the other girls were hiding with me. and some exit routes

The ruler wanted me for himself but was patient and for the time being i was just a treasured prie that he was leaving untouched.

But the girls didn't want to keep hiding. they got bored. and while they were bored they left their hiding area. but while i was out they were discovered and ... we had been so close to rescue but now we had more steps to go through.

I fled my room there. I had nothing there i was afraid to lose and... he man holding me prisoner was determined to force me into bed as punishment and for betrayal.

so i fled. and in fleeing i came upon the other girls who were being prepared... they were going to be turned into abused concubines . from the youngst to the oldest. so i rescued them from the tests and fled.

i ran into a guard who seemed to be on my side because he was polite and british. he himelf was a prisoner who had risen through the ranks. he realized i meaned to break out and wanted to know what i needed. when i mentioned the hand guns he asked what kind. i said 9mils or something better but he said it would be harder. and this was free. it was his "retirement day". he stood up and knocked off a guard and had me search for the radio and the hand gun. then we knocked off a few more guards and too their guns off them.

Somehow I ended up outside the complex and ... i could have ran for freedom but i went back inside because the other girls needed to be free too. I had to pass by two rows of asian soldiers (possibly china) who started firining on me.but they missed. then at the endo f the line a an handed a note to me and it turned out they were on my side. another connection.

but on the way back in i passed by a loudspeaker that was passing a notice... they were going to be testing the teleport system. and it would be keyed into the chips they had imbedded in all of us. when i got back to the fellow prisoners i explained it to them... it didn't matter if we fought back. they could just teleport us to whereer t hey wanted.

and then i found out the teleport system was also a weapon designed for isimply blowing up the person with a few short commands. whhey wouldn't have to fight us. they would just blow us up.

and then there was both good and bad news. the guard who had helped me was still alive and had a bad wig on to hide his identity. and one of the girls from my group was missing... she hadn't been in the group to be rescued.

we weren't going to leave her but how to get back? a doctor - secretly on our side but still trusted with the fredom to move wherever she wanted hatched a plan. she was going to order a medical exam on the gir, inject her with a large dost of asparine to give her convulsions... and thus create the reason to ust the system to teleport the girl out.

we aso found some large tanker items. one of the guys (i seemed to pick up more members as we went along) thought it was a b omb and tried to play with it... we ran out but it didn't go off. that's when we realized it was the transmitter for the teleport apparently the facility was lined with them everywhere so they could get us no matter where we went.

so after we got the girl back we would disable it. and then flee. there was an area nearby we could go to.

then i remember listening to the radio in my hand - but none of the guards around noticed.

I'm feeling: sleepy

I don't remember much... just that I was listening to my favorite Hemi-Synch song while sleeping and in the dreams I had it on too.

Other than that... I was one of the crew of Serenity, perhaps a new crew member... not really sure.

And that the Captain was sick or something and we were tending to him. Oh and that he appreciated us all being kind.



hah. apparently i have a Dr Evil userpic but nothing for Firefly or Nathan Fillion. So ... I'm using Cain from Tin Man cos he had tight pants on too. lol.

I'm feeling: waking up

I am not sure who I was... a Companion to the Doctor, yes but... I don't know which one, and I don't think I was "me" either. And, it's not often people look like themselves in dreams but I do remember that the Doctor looked like #10 - and I even noted it in the dream that he had the wrong face on, cos he was suppose to be #11.

But anyway...

Something had gone wrong and I'd been separated from the Doctor and I followed my first instinct and... built myself a TARDIS of my own. Mine was smaller, at times looking like it could fit in my hand, but at other times feeling like it was just enough to fit a couple of people, and then maybe the size of a small closet. Though it never felt as infinite as the real TARDIS.

I often used my TARDIS to take breaks, and once convinced someone to go off on a holiday with the promise we'd be back in 5 minutes. Not sure what happened to that person.

I had gotten a little showy with my time travel fun however and had stopped off at a cafe where the Doctor had been before. The cafe owner there had always been helpful and I was going to show off to him. I asked him for a coin and had said that he deserved this... I was planning on doing a time jump to put the coin in the lottery - like how the Doctor had given Donna her wedding gift - but... a hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me up and out of the chair.

It was the Doctor and he was ANGRY.

He questioned me about the bomb project I was working on with the government - but he kept calilng it Elizabeth, while my project had a different name. Something about the new project was drastically wrong, and ... may have come into be from my horsing around in time.

He took the TARDIS from my hands and, although still angry, he noted that my lock was biometric and was impressed. Still... he was going to leave me there.

"You can't!" I exclaimed. "It'll pull me through anyway. I'd rather be sucked through by a few feet rather than half a planet."

I don't know if it was true at first, but then my dream made it so - my TARDIS couldn't be taken through time and space without me. If the Doctor used my TARDIS to leave (not sure where his was), it would pull me along anyway. Not very pleasant, though survivable.

While in the TARDIS he calmed down a little, especially as he noted how well my copy was made. At first there was some concern that I'd stolen bits of his to make mine but he soon realized it was just copied, nothing stolen.

We stopped at his home world first - Gallifey?... um. Yeah but it looked more like a damp forest. And soon after we got there, we sat, resting against trees and then I realized it was getting harder to breathe. Something in the world around us was collapsing. The Doctor was in pain - so was I.

I put my finger on the keyhole to the TARDIS, held on the the Doctor, and wished our next location. It wasn't much better. The TARDIS now looked a little like a big iPod touch, or iPad, and the display was frosting over... in the center was an image of both of us, and as soon as the frost reached us, we'd be back in the same situation as before.

So I wished again, trying to think of someplace - and somewhere safe. I thought of MARS but we were outside my handheld TARDIS and that would suck for breathing. So I thought of another place instead and off we went.

We ended up somewhere where there was a man singing tenor, an opera singer. There was something important about him that would solve the issue of the universe collapsing, but I don't remember what it was.

Then I woke up.

I'm feeling: curious

John Adams by David McCullough

Yep a book about the second President, and one of the foremost voices towards declaring Independence.


Now, I already have a little bit of a soft spot towards John Adams, courtesy of William Daniels (aka the Voice of KITT). He portrayed John Adams on both stage and in film for the musical 1776.

I saw a DVD set to the book by the children's area of the library and it reminded me that there had been a book titled 1776 as well, though I'm not sure if it was directly related to the musical. But it got me thinking... that maybe I should try the book.

I opened it in the library first and tried the first page... I was a little hesitant thinking that it would be a boring history book but... From the start it's been easy to read and very interesting.

And - notably... little quirks I remember from the musical (like Abigail's desire for pins, that John thought her pigeon-toed, Steven Hopkins and his rum)... I found them in the book. I'm not sure if the author intended people to laugh during those parts but... well it was fun.

Granted it's a long read... so even though I'm reading it every day it may take some time to get through it all

I'm feeling: contemplative

"hah", because after doing the writer's block post i stopped posting for a while. lol


mini-update (cos i don't feel like writing a lot)

job hunting a lot. i've been to 3 interviews so far, and have another coming up and have to reschedule one that i dont care about.

and while i wait before some interviews ive been writing a bit of fanfic by hand. ;)

I'm feeling: accomplished

hmmm i don't usually have writer's block but the title was hard to resist since i'm a fan of "Sunday in the park with george"

but anyway... fictional people... been watching a lot of dr who and stargate lately sooo.... i'd have to go with perhaps the Doctor, maybe include SG-1 (can include both the original SG1 and the final season lineup), and... well been watching SGA too. my fav char from that is mckay but only if he wasn't snapping his fingers at anyone. seriously i had a boss who did that once.

hmmm not sure who else. maybe firefly cast.
heh.

I'm feeling: creative

Kinda. just an odd mix of a dream i had while taking a nap

I was in some museum hotel thing and it was being taken over by ... things. maybe replicators since they had the ability to change things around us into new items

i don't know really how i was able to get away from these things as i ran through the hotel trying to find the ...

well before even that, we were searching through ... it was a dorm too. trying to find some specific creature. as we went through, that's when the changes started happening. signs of blood in bathrooms, odd things changing, creepy things happening to the college stage

i don't remember if i found the right thing or area. i do remember a comment about a lampoon and something about a pope's name leading us there. in that building it had become an old museum detailing how an old culture had lived. the creatures had changed things in order to stop me, but a woman had joined me to help.

eventually i had found the others. they were in barrels but living, just... they had lost hope. each was saying something about giving up. one person was talking against macintosh (some scientist). i think i even saw Captain Jack Harkness

but i had gotten there. we passed around some food - just milk. and even though they told me i needed the most since i was the one doing the rescue, i only took one swallow so that they had enough for every one.

but then... then McKay had fixed the engines on ... the train. and we were able to escape. on a twisting train hurtling through the air, kinda sideways like a snake. it didn't fly right really, breaking things as it jumped along but it was freedom.

I'm feeling: sleepy

been a bit of a quiet lent this year.
but some parts were really nice for the music

granted i mostly liked the music from last year more, but this year there were a couple of songs i also really liked, and some of my favorites from last year were repeated this year

super tired so i'll write more later

and as a side note, one of the tenors in the choir was really helpful
not sure if it was on purpose or not but i had the sense he was singing out a little bit louder next to me. on purpose or not, it helped me stay in tune and made me more comfortable with singing. so i was able to sing louder. =) thanx :D

and time to sleep.

I'm feeling: musical

I'm in a bit of a rush this morning but I have perhaps the first chapter or so of a fanfic that came to mind while I was watching Stargate over on Hulu.

I may post it here, or perhaps at fanfiction.net .... though i'll probably hold off on FF until I'm finished. I'm not really into posting incomplete stories.

I will confess that I'm slightly "cheating" in my story however, in that I'm kinda dropping Sam and Teal'c from the main plot. Originally everyone was going to be involved in the main adventure but I realized I was mainly just doing Daniel & Jack lines. Granted Teal'c can be easy to write... just have him say "indeed" a few times and speak very carefully and properly, but Carter was the issue. I just didn't have any cool technobabble for her and didn't really have much for her to say. So what the heck, Carter & Teal'c can go check out some naquada mine and investigate the mining process to make sure there's nothing hinky going on (like human rights violations, and check out the labs) while Daniel & Jack go on the main adventure.

And just for fun I decided that Jack picked up some rucksacks from a nice company called Kifaru, though I didn't mention them by name. But seriously, they have a bit of a trek ahead of them and the company in question is like 80 miles north of the base... Jack might not be a techno-geek but I'm sure he'd get a little geeky over some nice tactical gear.

But anyway, I gotta run. heh could be a fun story to write

I'm feeling: busy
