A Curious Girl: Dreams and alcohol and presentations...

Had a peculiar dream this morning. There was a woman who was referred to as 'the one' who everyone thought was meant to save us all, except she turned out to be the ultimate evil villain, and unfortunately I was around when she gained her magical powers as a nearly omnipotent female Voldemort/Sauron type figure... She kept chasing me, and I kept running around random streets and no matter where I went she kept appearing and flying sparks at me and attempting to kill me. I got fed up of running, and made a swipe for her wand, with was a pathetic plasticky thing, but she laughed, held up her hand and said that her powers came from her ring. I attempted to pull it off, and she laughed as it wouldn't come free. I reached out, bent her finger back and pulled the ring off, then panicked that she'd grab it back again and all would be lost. So I put it in my mouth and swallowed it. After which I realised that something that evil could kill me, then figured that if I had rid the world of the ultimate evil, it would be worth it.

Does that make any sense to you? It's weird for a dream because I seem to have had rather a lot of dreams where I'm being chased but I always wake up before the climax, as it were. I don't get killed but I never escape. Also in those sorts of dreams, I never seem to have an unselfish thought, like 'If I die, at least the world is saved...' Also in dreams I tend to be at my most cowardly. Running is always the order of the day...

Alcohol is horrible. I thought I'd mention that. I went to a party on Sunday night and... well... I promise you, I didn't mean to drink that much (part of the problem was not how much I drank, but how little I ate). Despite drinking rivers of water I still felt awful in the morning (I didn't drink to the point of puking, which is something at least...). *sigh* It was a weird experience. Everything was really surreal. Felt like a right royal idiot in the morning - I've never been so utterly drunk. Why oh why did I do that to my poor body?

Did my presentation with Bob the Angry Flower yesterday. They liked my inclusion of said flower, the presentation was naff, but since I went last and my material was essentially the same as everyone else's, I have a feeling that no one was really listening... so at least they had something to look at :) On the plus side, I had another presentation which went rather well on Monday (well, despite the obvious self-inflicted aftermath of the night before), so it all balances :) (And the good one was the assessed one, too!)

Hmm. How frustrating. I've been thinking about so many things recently and now I can't think of anything to say...

...So I should probably go do some of the little but important things I've been putting off in favour of the big important things which I've now finished.

Wasn't this an exciting entry? :)
