I was in this online class of sorts on the English language (I think it was a creative writing course), and my prof, who looked a lot like my plant taxonomy prof but I have no idea why I know that, said that for our finals we had to chat with him over Yahoo! Messenger in English, and we had to keep up a good conversation or fail the course. When I found out about that, I thought, "Why did I get myself into this? Of course Fea will do very well in the finals - English is her native language!"

I does like mine English...

I dreamt last night, in the wee hours (okay, so it was definitely post-dawn, after my dog woke me up and I dozed back off), that I was part of a game. A game in which Lalwende was playing the role of one of two dragons that was supposed to be exterminating me into a pile o' ash. I don't know who the other dragon was, but he was even bigger than Lal-dragon was. I DO know that davem was supposed to be on my team (we held spray bottles filled with water, the goal being to spray the dragons without getting fried), but the irresponsible fellow was inside warming up a bottle for the lil one. In the end I managed to duck underneath a supernaturally large storage shed and spray Lal-dragon in the face when she ducked her head down to look for me. Ha, I win!

Then Lal transformed back into regular-Lal and we went inside for tea. In case you didn't know, Lal and dave, your house is set up thusly: from the outside, you can look through a big bay window into the kitchen, which has a sink on the far side and a stove on the wall perpendicular and to the right of the window. From the inside, however, that vision is proven to be totally wrong; the kitchen has yellow wall paper and is sunken a few steps into the floor. You enter through the kitchen (which is kind of dark and small), and go up steps into a dining room area. Through which you enter what was either a living room or a hall which does an interesting curving thing toward a bunch of bedrooms. The one on the right at the end of the hall belonged to the baby, who Lal showed me (v. cute), at which time I noticed that she was like five inches shorter than me (making her about 4'11"). I realized around this time that my brothers and grandfather were playing video games in the room at the end of the hall and briefly wondered how they got into Lal and dave's house...

I didn't want to kill her, I wanted to spray water at her!

To my knowledge, water only melts witches and sugar...

Hmm, maybe she's a sugar witch! That explains everything!

Just last night I had a perfectly normal dream about otherwise normal events, but in my room was a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - rewritten by the phantom. I thought it was pretty strange.

In my dream TheGreatElvenWarrior negrepped my post with "For breaking my streak". The post was a simple "No." in the "Fortunately/Unfortunately" -thread, which obviously worked a bit differently, since the "No." was otherwise a valid answer.

I had this really weird dream a few nights past. In it, Nogrod, Lommy and I had some sudden obsession of inviting Legate to visit us. Noggie then called him and asked whether he wanted to come to Finland. Legate said that he didn't have the money, but when Noggie promised to pay his flight tickets he agreed to come. For some reason the flight from Prague to Helsinki was precisely 75 minutes. So, 75 minutes after Noggie's phone call Legate appeared on our doorstep. (Hmm, do I sense a flaw in the logic?)

Well, the next day we went to church. Legate wore a peculiar wine-red corduroy suit and a big, white, dirty-looking scarf. He didn't know how to sit in church so he kind of dangled between two benches. My choir sang a couple of songs in the church so I couldn't go and tell him how to sit. Lommy and Noggie had mysteriously disappeared.

After the church Lommy, I and Legate were eating something. I sat between Lommy and Legate. Legate tried to discuss with Lommy but he spoke so quietly that she had to lean over me to hear what he was saying.

PS. What on earth are all these "Legate comes to Finland" -dreams? Should I get worried?

Well that sucks!
But I would not reply with just a simple "No" on the For../Unfor.. thread for that is one of my most favourite threads... Although I did write a response on that thread... Someone called me a guy... and I most certainly am Not a male, but rather a lovely female (who really isn't that pretty... but does maybe think that guy that is year older than her and she likes likes her back maybe just a little bit)... Although I am surprised that someone on the Downs actually had me in their dream... I thought that I wasn't really lets say buddies with anyone... or even recognized very well! Yay for me to be in a Downers dream!!!!!!!!
