City with no people
Cleaning my room today. Not that there's much to clean. Just transferred my clothes to a drawer. All fits in one, except for a few things that had to be hung up anyway. The room is empty. You can tell I'm staying here because I don't like to bother to make the bed, but that's all, really. I haven't eaten anything. I tend not to bother when I'm really lonely. I should eat something. I will eventually. Funny dreams last night. I had these pets, a baby mouse and a gerbil, and for some reason that I forget, they had to be in a little container of water for a minute while I did something important. There wasn't a lid; I thought they could swim for a minute. But then I looked down and they had gone bald and were sort of floating at the top. When I took them out and let them dry, they hardened. I couldn't tell for sure, but I guess I had killed them. There was another dream, too, that I was getting married, and everyone came to Watkinson, because it was going to be in the amphitheater. There were a lot of people making speeches and giving performances before the important part at the end, and for some reason, I was called away during one of the speeches. Something had gone wrong, and it was really important that I build a small boat. I was going as fast as I could, since I knew I had to be back down in the amphitheater for my own wedding in just half an hour or so. So I built this little rowboat very quickly, and it was a pretty decent rowboat, for someone's who's not a carpenter. I knew that I was running late, and the groom was probably standing around waiting for me at the altar, so I got in the boat and slid in it down the stairs to the amphitheater stage. What an entrance. But he just looked at me, disgusted that I made him wait, especially because he felt humiliated being forced to wait on stage like that in front of the audience, and called the whole thing off. I didn't know what to do. It wasn't even my fault.
Silly me. Maybe I should have stayed home, driven my car around and gotten my license, worked at the bank with Kiwi. That would have been the smart thing to do. Probably would have made more money. Makes me want to go back to school, just so maybe I'd know a few people, and be able to get food without any trouble. I've been reading all morning. It's pretty good, of course. But I can't read all day alone like this. Talk about a city with no people.
