Today feels like it was very long, but also very good and productive. I woke up very early before Mom left for work, said hi to her, and then went back to sleep for a couple of hours. Then Lauren called so we could watch the new Sofia the First episode. It wasn't one of my favorites, but it was still good. As usual, I had fun watching it with her! Then I went back to sleep until about 2, and had some rather odd dreams that had me waking up in a rather bad mood. Then I toodled around until my mom came home, Bob, her boyfriend followed almost an hour later. We had fried chicken for dinner, and went out to Bob and my new favorite icecream place for dessert. Then we came home and did a lot of packing for our move, which was actually kind of fun! I feel like I got something of a workout, and there was a lot of fun shouting and laughter involved. Made me feel young! lol Then Mom and Bob went out to the pool for a bit, but I opted out. I don't know why, I do love being in the water, but going through the work of getting into a swimsuit, bringing all your stuff down to the pool, getting out and having to drag all your stuff back and changing, not so much. I thought having our own pool would take care of that and I'd go swimming more, but unfortunately our new house doesn't have a pool. Oh well, there are a bunch of other things that make it great! Anyway, after they got back we watched the news and Modern Family for a bit, and I finally got them off to bed, lol. Now I'm watching Sheriff Callie. My night is still young! lol
Anyway, nothing too serious and maybe nothing too exciting in this post, but I just wanted to write down the events of the best day I've had in a long time!

So I know I made a big deal about coming back to LJ, made a few entries and then left again. Shame on me! I guess I and anyone else who happens to be reading this will have to get used to the idea that I'm a spiratic updater. Anyway, I thought I'd use this space to advertise the facebook groups that I run! The first one is for the 1980's phenomena that is/was Teddy Ruxpin. Whether you prefer the book and tape series or the cartoon that followed, come here to talk about your favorite stories, songs, characters, and to just generally hang out with other fans!

The second is for all things Lilo & Stitch! Come here to talk about the movies, TV series, fanfiction, and again, to get to know other fans!
http://www.facebook.com/groups/227069700747884/
Both groups are small, but I try to keep them as active as I can, and once they grow a bit, they'll be even more fantastic!

Alright, I've been sick for over a week now. It's getting old! I couldn't even talk when I went out to the livingroom this morning, only wisper.
In other news, Dianne didn't come yesterday because of the snow that was predicted, so now she's thinking of coming to see me at school sometime. Better for me because I'll have more privacy there.
I know people say LJ is practically dead, but I'm excited about coming back here more! Word is in some of the facebook groups I'm in that a lot of fandoms have groups here, and I'm going to start looking for some! I'd also like to connect with some friends on here who I already know from facebook and elsewhere.

Well I said I'd put down my fan dreams here, but I haven't had one of any kind in so long! Anyway, the first part of my dream involved me having herpes, due to some stupid movie my cousin had us watching part of last night. Anyway, it could've been the second part of that dream or another dream altogether, as thankfully it had nothing to do with the first part. It took place in my old apartment, where a lot of my weirder dreams have been taking place lately. Newton Gimmick was sitting in my grandmother's chair, racked with guilt as he had just heard a news report that one of his inventions had been used to kill 4 people in a battle of some kind. Grubby and I, and possibly Teddy and Prince Arin were trying to convince him that it wasn't his fault, and I repeated the old saying "guns don't kill people; people kill people," except instead of guns I substituted the long and complicated name of the invention.

This is the longest dream, or couple of dreams, I ever remember having. The first one, I don't remember too much of, except that it involved, of all characters, Wick from TMNT The Next Mutation. There's not much to go into about it, but it was the driving force I think throughout the next dream. Then I woke up around 10 after 4, went to the bathroom, and was back asleep by 4:30.
The next dream started with me being excited about the previous dream, and wanting to tweet about it, but for one reason or another, I never got the chance. We were going up to Ann's for a party, and I brought my computer with me. The funny thing was that I had my computer beside me on the bed, so assuming the battery hadn't died by that point, when someone signed in to MSN in the dream, it could've been them signing in in real life. Anyway, there were also little kids there, who went out to swim in the pool. As I was sitting there, on the floor for some reason, it came about that one of the kids hurt themselves somehow. I think his mother was there, but Mom, Ann and I followed them to the ER anyway. For some reason it was so far out of the way, that the 3 of us took a hotel room for the night. Ann and I went to the bathroom, somehow we never made it into our rooms to use the private one, but anyway, as we were there we heard Rob Paulsen giving a live show. It almost sounded as if he were in the next room! Anyway, I mentioned to Ann that I wished I could meet him, but that probably wasn't going to happen now. Mom left, (don't ask how I knew what she was doing from the other side of the door), and as Ann and I left the bathroom, who does she come walking back up the hallway with, but the man himself! I shook his hand, and said I was happy to meet him. I don't remember all that he said to me, and I know I didn't say nearly all that I should've said to him. I remember when he left thinking that I should've asked him some question or other for his podcast, or even who would be on it next. I remember thinking that I should tell him what shows of his I was a fan of, Lilo & Stitch, TMNT and Pinky and the Brain. I think I did, but I can't be sure. Anyway, at one point I took his arm for a bit of sighted guide, and was pleasantly surprised at how tall he was. Now this is something I'm curious about. Anyway, next thing I knew Mom and I were back in our own house. I guess I was just starting to think about waking up at that point, because I remember questioning several times whether my meeting with Rob had been a dream or not. I asked Mom if it actually had happened, and she said yes. When I woke up for real, I felt the slightest bit betrayed, lol. Anyway, the dream ended with me sitting on my bed with my computer, (funny how that appeared again), about to tweet about my previous dream and everything that had happened since then. When I woke up I realized that it was a good thing I never got to, as it would take me about 50 tweets to do it, lol.

I just spent a week and a couple of days in Florida. Actually, my mom and I drove down to Delaware, spent the night, and flew down to FL with my great aunt the next day. What a crazy trip it was! Anyway, I for some reason had a terrible time trying to get on LJ using my braillenote, and I had 4 fandom-related dreams during that time, so I finally got around to posting them now. Two were for Lilo & Stitch, one was a short and kinda vague, ('cause I don't remember it), Harry Potter dream that nonetheless bears posting, and one was an Adventures In Wonderland dream. So here we go!

The first was probably the clearest of the dreams. I dreamed that Jumba had an adult daughter, who came to earth to see him. At one point he asked her how she had found him, and she said something about finding him through the prison records. They were having an arguement because he had apparently owned a house on Queltaquan and had sold it, but had gotten far less than what they had expected for it. She was a bit ticked off at him, but mostly she was just angry and upset at the situation in general. An interesting thing to note is that 2 or 3 times during the dream he called her "little girl" in tantalog, which it turns out was a term of endearment on Queltaquan for a daughter or equivalent younger child-type person, which is why he called Lilo that all the time.
I think realistate was on my mind because my great aunt had recently been given a condo, which is why we went there.

The next dream I had in Florida, and it is extremely sad. It is based on a heart-breaking L&S story I read called "The Meaning of Exile," and takes place years after Lilo and the rest of the ohana we know and love, including Pleakley, have died. Jumba and Stitch are the only ones left, Stitch has basically gone feral and was prowling around the backyard scaring off anyone who was daring enough to enter the propperty, and Lilo's descendants had abandoned them out of fear and misunderstanding. In the dream, Jumba was old and sick, just as he was in the story. It was made slightly better by the fact that Lilo was there, so there must've been some timetravel involved, especially since Lilo was still a little girl. They were talking, and I don't know what about, but I was struck by the overall picture. They were the only 2 characters in the dream, leading me to believe that everyone else was dead. So there's Lilo, this bubly and viberant child, and there's Jumba, this sick and very sad old man on his way out... That was all there was to it, but it sure made an impact!

The third dream, I bearly remember enough to make it worth posting here, but here goes. It took place in a classroom, and it was Ginny's last year at Hogwarts. Harry and Ron had come to visit her, and somehow, even though he was only 18, he had become the minister of magic. Ginny mentioned casually to either Harry or Ron, I think it was Harry, that she had been attacked by Narcisa Malfoy, and Harry got upset. He asked Ginny heatedly why she hadn't told him sooner, and how he was supposed to protect her if she didn't tell him these things. I think that was about it.

The AIW one is another one where I'm slightly mad at myself that I didn't right it down, or at least post it sooner, because I've forgotten the first bit of it. It was another Christmas special-type thing. What I remember started out in the queen's palace in the morning, could've even been Christmas Eve or day. I remember the tweedles being there briefly, but don't remember what they were doing. The queen, the rabbit, and Alice were also there. Alice went off to visit the caterpillar; I think she wanted to learn how to juggle or something like that. She asked him if he could juggle, and he told her that he could, but he could only juggle rocks. He then preceded to demonstrate, until he went to hand her something, (I don't remember what it was but it was smaller and lighter than the rocks he was using), and injured himself somehow. It was only a very slight injury, but he acted as though he were mortally wounded. Alice turned to Crystal and said something about being a young adult or growing up. I thought this meant she was going to take care of the caterpillar herself, but instead the queen, and I believe the rabbit and tweedles came by. At that point Alice just sort of disappeared from the scene. Music started up, sounding like a march, and the queen started singing about how great the caterpillar was, in a song that sounded a little like the March From the River Kwai. It started with his name, which comically turned out to be Hippity. As in Hippity Hoppity Hypnotist, but just Hippity.
I can't speak for any of the rest of it, but I think the caterpillar giving Alice advice on juggling came from the fact that The Rules of the Game was the last episode I listened to. Not my favorite episode, but I figured I'd give it another shot. Still not on my favorites list.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed, or at least didn't mind too much, this little trip into my subconscious. Sorry the entry was so long, but I thought I'd get all of these in at once.

I guess I probably should've given the other meem a chance to soak in a bit, so to speak, but when I saw this it was so cool I wanted to post it right away. It's from that same FF.net profile.

( Fandom meem! )
