OK, so here's the dream I had last night. I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. [Cool]

It was one of those dreams that starts as one thing and then morphs into something else. But anyway, I was suddenly aware that I was at a party. The party was in honor of Hatrack, and it was thrown by OSC and his wife at their house. (Who knows what I was doing in North Carolina... [Dont Know]

)

Anyway, there were jatraqueros everywhere, but sadly I didn't recognize any of you guys. I recognized a few of my friends who are not on Hatrack but were in my dream, but no one else.

As the party started to come to a close I realized that I didn't have my car, so I was stuck waiting for a ride. Everyone left except for one girl (who, upon retrospect, I think might have been OSC's daughter). I started talking to Kristine, and she was the coolest! We talked about which of OSC's books I had not read yet (I know, original isn't it? [Roll Eyes]

), and she recommended Hart's Hope. And we became pretty good friends as we sat there talking. [Smile]

After that I helped them clean up after the party.

When my ride came, it was my whole family in our mini-van, and when we left OSC and Kristine came along (they drove their own car, however). We drove to this river kind of place and everyone started jumping in. We all went swimming! My family and OSC and his wife. One thing that I remember is trying to get my camera to work but it wouldn't turn on because it was all wet. The funny part is that I wanted to take pictures of the beautiful scenery, not of me with the Cards. Apparently it was the scenery that was unusual, not the fact that I was swimming with my favorite author and his wife. [Big Grin]

How's that for a dream? [Razz]

That's so cool!

I've never dreamed about OSC. I'm not sure he's real. [Razz]

Posted by Amka (Member # 690) on :

Wow, cool.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

OSC isn't real, Katie. He's just another one of my nicks. [Razz]

Cool dream, Jennie. [Cool]

So was it Hatrack River that you guys went swimming in?

I know you now!! You're the guy at the EnderCon booksigning who couldn't get his camera to work.

Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :

who? [Confused]

LOL, Jon Boy! [Big Grin]

Well, it was very beautiful where ever it was.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Psst, William: hansenj is a chick, not a dude.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

heavy stuff, hansenj. You tried analyzing it yet?

Posted by The Silverblue Sun (Member # 1630) on :

Shhhhhhwhew!!!

For a second there, I thought this dream might have been about you and OSC swimming with Dolphins.

[Wink]

Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :

Ah, je comprends...yeah William, I'm a girl, and I wasn't at Endercon. Sorry. [Dont Know]

Ha ha, no not yet, SarcasticMuppet. What do you think it might mean? [Razz]

hansenj:
Thanks for the clean-up help. And is this extra beach towel in my trunk yours???
Kristine

Posted by Sweet William (Member # 5212) on :

yeah William, I'm a girl

Sorry. I mean, sorry that I made the mistake, not sorry that your're a girl. It's cool to be a girl, if you are one, and get to dream-swim with the Card-man.

[Laugh]

(at Kristine's post, not Williams [Wink]

)

Kristine talked to me!

[Grumble]

Kristine never responded to my various posts about her Jell-O salad. I'm so neglected. [Cry]

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

You fainted the last time she talked to you. Maybe she was nervous.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Oh, right. I'd forgotten about that incident. [Blushing]

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

*pat pat*

Posted by kacard (Member # 200) on :

JonBoy -- I couldn't respond. Not 'cause I didn't want to talk to you -- but because I can't make jello.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

[Eek!]

You mean it was all a LIE?!

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

*quietly passes him smelling salts*

Posted by Sweet William (Member # 5212) on :

hansenj is SUCH a teacher's pet.

Kristine talked to me!

Big deal, she does that all the time to me:

"Please delete that post before I call the FBI"
"Please quit calling"
"Please don't stalk our cat"
"No, you aren't invited to the wedding"
"No, you don't need to send a gift"
"No, I can't remember where the reception is so you CAN send a gift"

After awhile you stop fainting, trust me. [Wink]

You're just jealous!

Posted by Jimmy (Member # 5518) on :

Well I'll admit it, I am jealous. [Eek!]

::scratches head::

Can't make Jello?!?!

Did that just slip past everyone else?!

Is it the water-boiling that's the problem?

[Big Grin]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Icarus, perhaps it makes her break out into hives? [Wink]

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

I also can't make jello. Though, it really isn't a problem, since the mere sight of it makes me puke.

My mother used to force feed us warm liquid jello everytime we barfed, so, to this day, I can't stand the sight of it.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Jello allergy . . . how tragic! OK, well not really . . . .

[Eek!]

Posted by Jimmy (Member # 5518) on :

Look Jello or not Jello I'd eat pretty much anything to eat with the Card Family

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

While I agree that it would be interesting to have a meal with the Cards, it would be terribly uncool to puke on them. [Wink]

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Well, they'd never forget you . . .
