intertribal: (you are the blood)
I was walking toward a pier in a harbor, talking to my mother on a cellphone.  A plane came into view and went lower and lower until it crashed into the water.  Pretty soon giant people - as big as the plane, and looking like plastic/inflatable mechas - were wading in the water, carefully picking up the plane (it was sinking).  

I joined the recovery effort and I walked into the plane while it was still about a quarter submerged, so I was also wading through the cabin, although I was of normal size.  Everyone on the plane was gone.  I went to collect something yellow and powdery that the people on the plane had been exposed to, and some of it got on my hand.  Immediately, my hand and then arm started seizing up, going numb.  I figured this is what had happened to the pilots. 

I went to the front desk of a hospital and explained to them what happened.  The nurse took me into a little room and started pouring boiling water on my hand, where I told her it had gone numb.  "You know most of the people survived," said the nurse.  "That's good," I said.

Well, I just had the most disturbing dream I've had in a while. 

So the U.S. Presidential Election's coming up.  Except in my dream, it was Roger Federer (the Swiss tennis star that my mom and I adore) running against... Frieza.  Yes, discount everything you know about American politics.  Instead of an election they were determining the outcome through a nationally televised tennis match.  You'd think Federer would win.  And my mother definitely thought he would.  No one seemed to be worried except for me.  No Americans seemed to realize exactly who this weirdo Frieza was, and what he would do if he won the election. 

Oh yeah, and I was Chi-Chi.  I think it was taking place during the "seven years" and Goku was dead.  In any case, it was public knowledge, or Frieza had made an announcement, or something, that if he became "President" (which in this case really meant "Emperor") he would force me to marry him.  As revenge.  So I was clearly more distressed than everyone else.

So Federer lost the first two sets, unbelievably, and then won the next two.  In the fifth and final set he seemed to be leading, but it went into a tiebreak, and suddenly it ceased being tennis and became a music competition show - like they'd play a piece and the player would have to guess whether it was Mozart or Beethoven.  On the final, decisive question, they had to listen to a piece and then name the kind of music it was.  Federer thought he had it down but he came up with the strangest, dumbest answer - Empire - and was wrong.  Frieza answered something that also sounded strange but at least sounded like it could be a musical term - Fane, I think - and was right, so he won. 

The last thing I remember is trying frantically to negotiate a way out for myself.  I don't think it was going to work.

Your Famous Last Words Will Be:
"So, you're a cannibal."



in which I try to see how many times I can say no. )




You Are Punk Music



You've thought long and hard about what mainstream society has to offer...

And you've pretty much decided that most normal things aren't for you.

You're creative, expressive, and likely to do things yourself.

You are a rebel and a fighter. You'll defend your point of view to anyone.



in which my life is laid out )




You Belong in the Baby Boomer Generation



You fit in best with people born between 1943 and 1960.

You are optimistic, rebellious, and even a little self centered.

You still believe that you will change the world.

You detest authority and rules. Deep down, you're a non conformist.

What Generation Do You Belong In?

in which I tell the truth and you can't handle it. )
You Are 40% Normal
While some of your behavior is quite normal...
Other things you do are downright strange
You've got a little of your freak going on
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

in which I fail, fail, fail. )
