NIGHT TERROR
It's very rare that I have a nightmare...and that is a very good thing...at one point in my life I couldn't have said that...back in my junior high days...I had to go to therapy because they were that bad and I was scared to death to go to sleep.
I love vampires, I've always been fascinated in them, everyone knows that. I fell in love with Anne's interpretation because she made them more human, more realistic, sensual and beautiful than anyone else. But what I dreamt of just now, there was no beauty there.
...............................................................................................................................................................................
I was at Caves Lounge, my friends Danny and Jeffrey's band had just got done playing. I hadn't seen the boys in so long and I was happy that they were all there at one time. Some of the people were leaving so the crowd had died down. I had fallen out of my bar stool and was now sitting on the ground. The bartender must have cut me off b/c I had left.
I'm walking through a parking lot, I'm not really sure where it was, I am assuming that it was the lot that is behind the building that my dad lived in while we were growing up...b/c the rest of the dream took place in that building.
Beside one of the cars was a shopping cart full of goodies, movies, music, comic books and t-shirts.
The comic books is what got me b/c they were Anne Rice's Lestat books....I've always wanted that version she did as a comic book...but these weren't by Anne...it was very weird, but I was drunk and my attention span was boggled. I trailed off to the shirts. The one at the very end of the basket was Dark grey, a layered long sleeve shirt. It had red writing and a picture of something but I forgot...whatever was on the writing summoned what happened next. I wanted to buy the shirt but nobody was there to collect the money so I said fuck it, and started to enter into the building.
I passed the gate for some odd reason and noticed two people had exited and coming near me. One of them was a woman...think of a typical vampire wench...that was her....but him....I was going to find a picture to post...but I want to do everything in my power to forget him.
He had blond hair, it was hard to really see his face because it was dark. It looked like he had make up on, he wasn't beautiful, sexual he was evil...so very evil. Of course his nails were long, but not pretty, they were dead finger nails. On his right hand, his pinky there was like a long needle, that is what he used to get the blood, he didn't bite.
When he approached me he put his left hand on my shoulder, I was pleading with him...I told him he could have my blood but not to turn me or to kill me. He hovered over me, it's like his shadow swallowed me and I was now on the ground, wet b/c it had been raining.
He inserted the bone like needle into the bend of my left arm. I could feel him inside of me. The pain is unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life. I literally felt him grab hold of my soul.
I woke up (in my dream mind you) and I was in bed vomiting. I was in the apartment that my dad lived in...the same building...but thought it was just a dream. I vomited again and noticed that I had gotten sick on Sadey. I was still a little drunk from the night before but thinking to myself what a weird dream that was. I got out of bed and when I got into the bathroom I realized it wasn't a dream. My left arm was hurting, when I looked down sure enough, there was a track mark.
I got sick again, splashed water on my face and checked my arm so many times just to make sure that I wasn't seeing anything...but the pain was evident within itself.
I went into my bed room to find clothes, anything clean, I had to go to the hospital, but who would believe me? For all they knew I shot up with heroin or what not.
I called Shelly...I was going to have her drive me but I can't remember if she answered or not b/c I never made it to the hospital. I found where his covenant was. I wanted to find him, I wanted to know what was going to happen to him. All I found was a bunch of kids playing pool and hanging out...they were vampires but there wasn't anything special about them...One of them hissed at me....I must of said something about God or maybe he saw my cross...I don't know but he turned evil...said sort of comment like 'you better not let him see/hear that'.....then I woke up....for real this time.
..........................................................................................................................................................................
I had a horrible headache when I awoke...more like I could feel my brain pulsating. I called my mom, I had to hear her voice. I turned all the lights on and now I'm just waiting for the sun to come up. If I had a car I would leave.
It's funny b/c the building that all this took place in is where I want to move back to when I move back home. My grandparents owned the building way before any of us (my sisters) were thought of....They owned the stores below the apartment buildings. There were four apartments.
The one my great grandparents lived in is where my parents lived when they were still married and when I was first born.
I loved those apartments....and they had a roof...you know like in some movies based in NY where you see people climb out there windows and they are on the roof top...that's how this place is. I'm surprised, that's all.
I've always loved the idea behind vampires, I think that's what I like most about Jason was b/c he truly wanted to be one and other than being immortal he was pretty close to one...well he didn't drink blood, whatever.
Anne never made them evil, she had a way of putting religion in there...I believe in God all the way, totally...I just don't agree with certain aspects that the bible thumpers throw in the face of anyone that is gay and yes I love Manson...but I know where I stand....and I think that those type of people take it far beyond what the book really says and means. My sister and brother in law have a problem with me (or at one point they did) b/c of my obsession with vampires.
I got really good at changing the subject. You might read my dream and think that it was no big deal...but it felt like I did the tango with the devil...that's the only thing that I can say about it...feeling him inside of me like that...it makes me want to go home and talk to my pastor.
I don't know. I very rarely write down my bad dreams but I had to get this one off my chest. I remember all the ones that I have. They are like etched in my brain. I want this one to leave. I have a good two hours before the sun comes up. Did I mention that I checked my arm several times when I woke up...haha...seriously inspected it....crazy shit!!!

FOLLOW THAT CARROT STICK!!
So I started last week and I had the worse headaches...but that always happens when I wean myself off of caffeine. Before I let myself go I was always a picky eater...I hardly ate fried foods, sweets and only had caffeine when I drank coffee.WHAT I WANT:
I've never been much on having a sweet tooth, but I do now. My sister gave me a really good desert that is low in carbs and fat....it's cheesecake without the crumbs...cream cheese and splenda to taste...then the whipped cream in a can...and yummy to my tummy!!!! YAY!!!WHAT I EAT:
So I'm watching my carbs. I know which ones are good and which ones are bad, but I'm being pretty strict on myself for the next two weeks then I will gradually begin to add fruit.
I went to my dad's over the weekend to help him out at the theater...he is dieting as well so we helped eachother when we took the students out for dinner...the only thing that we ate that was bad was bread and ice cream...I wound up gaining 3 pounds and he gained 2...so yeah...I'm not slipping again.
I've never had a scale in my house either so I ordered one today from a gift catalogue I got for Christmas. It should be arriving in a week or so.
I wish I had a buddy system here b/c I do better when I have a buddy system, especially when I need to quit smoking. I didn't smoke at all while I was at my dad's house...didn't want, crave or need one...but the moment I step foot in my apartment, it flares up. I did good the first day, smoked one and almost threw up b/c it tasted so bad. But hello today....I suck ass!!!
We'll see how this goes...
SPOILED!!!
SADEY
The picture sucks but it's the first time she let me get this close to her without running away...I seriously need a new camera!!
I replaced her water bowl with a mini sized water cooler like they have in offices and such...when I first gave it to her she was scared to death of it so I kept a glass of water at the end of my bed so she wouldn't get dehydrated...Well she actually does drink out of her water cooler and she still drinks out of the glass but if I remove the glass from the table or if it gets too low, she cries...chases me into the room...runs in between my feet to make sure that she directs me to the glass....
Silly girl!!!

FOR REAL THIS TIME!!
I have spent 12 hours on the computer today COMPLETING my book....Okay...haha...I can rest assure you that no, the record is not skipping, the CD is not broken, so I prematurly ejaculated many months back by saying that it was finished...because I was wrong!!!!
It has 33 chapters.....whew....I'm so glad that it ended on an odd number...It is now 300+ pages....I took away all the F bombs that really didn't need to be there (now my conscience is clear), I added stuff, took away stuff....but I'm so proud of myself that I didn't hack it to pieces like I did the last time I went through this process.
I found out some disturbing news as well...there is no such thing as a 'poor man's copyright'...what...when...yeah, I thought I could copyright it myself but apparently according to the copyright office...I was wrong...so I would like to kick the person's ass who told me such a lie.
But whatever....I'm not worried about that right now. The hard part is OVER!!! I know you guys are tired of me blabbing on and on about my book and I do apologize....Seriously!!!
I sent it to the Literary Agent...so I should hear something from them within 7-10 days. Lets all keep our fingers crossed that I answer yes to their following three questions:
1. Will the subject matter sell? Is it commercially viable?
2. Is the writing good enough, or would it be good enough with some degree
of assistance?
3. Did you as the evaluator like the work and would you believe in it if you
were selling it?
Well of course I say yes...haha...seriously guys...I need this...I want this so bad. Okay, so I'm done...for now...it's in God's hands. <3

I'VE BEEN LAZY
So we had some storms move through over the weekend and I took some pictures of this massive rainbow that was over my apartment complex...
The right side
The left side
The right side
That's not my camera messing up either, that was the color of the sky. The storms had just passed, I was sitting in my livingroom and the windows turned this orange/purpleish hue....So when I went out onto my patio everything was purple...it was so beautiful and then there is the rainbow...I haven't seen a full rainbow in years!!
Well, I found out today that even though my long term will go into effect on the 22nd of April, I still won't see a payment until the middle/end of May. So it may look like I'll be swimming up shit creek...I might have to get rid of my apartment. I will have enough to pay my rent, but that's it. I'm not sure how I will squeeze anything out of it. I have 3 checks left coming to me and my bonus from Pratt, but that won't be much.
I'm trying not to let it get to me b/c I don't think I can handle not sleeping and the panic attacks that I was having in January....no thank you!!! I'm going to call HR at my job when she comes back to see if I can use my Vacation and or Sick Time...I have 4 weeks of Vacation and 5 days of sick...that will hold me for 5 weeks, but it all depends on what she says.
I could beg my doctor to send me back to work....and it looks like that just might happen. I can honestly say by the looks of things at this moment that LA will not be happening to me. I know that one of the main reasons why I was in such a panic frenzy was because of Mardi Gras, so I'm facing it now so I won't put myself through that again. The only thing that worries me about going back to work is that it will mess up me applying for long term disability....there is still a very tiny hairline crack of a chance that I will qualify for short term and if that happens, I might get reimbursed....but I'm not counting on that.
I sent a synopsous of my book last week to a literary agent and they sent me an email yesterday saying that they wanted to send them my book...but they don't edit...and it's not broken down into chapters and I'm not sure if I am ready to send it to them. My dad has a copy of my book and is now reading it...I sent him the email to the site and he said he would be getting back to me...so I will call him tomorrow on that.
So that's my story....I think I'm trying to get sick again, either that or my allergies are really kicking my ass today. Keep your fingers crossed....I know that you guys are just coming off of the junk...I don't want it again.
I miss you all bunches!!! One of these days we will be together again!!!
