A rain to wash the world away...

[pacificpikachu]

Ohhh, it's so beautiful right now! It's sort of a thunderstorm-style rain, where it comes down in a beautiful, straightforward way but it's not cold, and it sort of seems pouty. If that makes sense to anyone. It was just sunset, and the clouds were muted colors (some the color of a mourning dove, some the color of orange creme, some a light, floral pink) and...Mew, it was beautiful. More on that later.

I had another weird dream last night. Even weirder than the night before. @_@ I'll LJ-cut it, as it is rather long.

For some reason in this dream, my rabbits Stormy and Inky (who I had about two or three years ago) were alive again. However, for some bizarre, unknown reason, I was planning on skinning one of them to make a hat. O_o; I don't know why, but it was like I didn't have a choice in the matter.

Then I was in this place that looked like the gift shop of a hotel, looking for something to wear for graduation. Two of my female cousins, Nicole and Jessie, kept pointing out "cute" dresses they were trying to get me to wear, but of course I was secretly planning to show up in shorts and a t-shirt like always.

At that point there was a creepy segment of the dream. Mom and I were outside the gate at Mom's house in the middle of the night, and there were people with flashlights who were trying to take something from us. I jumped over the gate and made a beeline for the house, but I'm not sure what I was running from or for. At this point, it went into a very nightmarish scene where I reluctantly decided to skin my rabbit Inky. For some weird reason, you were supposed to make certain cuts before the animal died. I took a knife and sliced down her back and on her sides. There was no blood or painful reaction, and she remained quite alive. However, one the cuts was lopsided and suddenly I had all the regrets in the world and wished fervently I had never hurt her. I spent a long time wandering around the house trying to forget what I had done.

Next, I was in a barn with straw on the ground. There was some guy who was giving me a tour. I think he was the president of a fur company or something, and he was talking about how guinea pig fur is "in". Except he had a different, weird word instead of guinea pig fur. I knew what he meant, though.

He opened a mesh door that had a room with hundreds of multicolored guinea pigs running around in shavings. Like herding dogs, there were baby polar bears wandering around and swatting at the guinea pigs with their paws. There was about one baby polar bear for every twenty guinea pigs. I went into the room, and the guinea pigs were running around my legs. I was supposed to pick one out so the guy could make a hat for me out of it. I don't know what happened with that, but the guy was standing outside and a random person ran up to him and informed him that guinea pig pelts were "out". Then the president guy tried to talk me into taking some of the guinea pigs as pets, just so he could get rid of them. I don't know if I accepted or not.

That's all I remember. @_@ Major WTF-ness.

Today...was okay. ^^

In Creative Writing, I wrote that dream down so I wouldn't forget it, and we continued doing that project we were working on yesterday about ourselves. Rae and I kept putting stuff about shounen-ai in our projects, and one of our assignments was to write twenty random questions. That was fun. >D

USHistory...we continued Grapes of Wrath. Stupid worksheets. ><

At lunch, I again talked to Cody, Selah, and KK. Cody was wearing this random anime-ish shirt that he found in his magical closet (I don't think I've written about the magical closet in here yet... Anime costumes tend to appear for no apparent reason in it. XD), and I kept hugging him. KK and I have become somewhat obsessed (in a secretive way) with Naruto shounen-ai--I mean...uh... Something. Yeah, something. ^^;; Naw, I'm just kidding anyway. We're not obsessed at all.

In Trig, we took our standardized testing. It was absolutely thrilling, with the filling in bubbles and all. >< I finished fairly quickly, so I spent the rest of the period working on my English final and listening to Naruto OST 3 (which I LOVE) repeatedly.

English, we got in a big debate about the qualities of a leader, which turned into the definition of justice, which turned into "How can humans ignore the injustices that go on in the world?!" which turned into whether civil disobedience works or not. ^^;; It's nice having a smart English class, because there are lots of intelligent debates.

Dad and I drove around a lot today, picking Ryan up and taking him to the orthodontist and visiting Mom at the hospital. Dad was diggin' Naruto OST 3, and was dancing and making sound effects and everything (which is what he does in the car when he likes music). XD; Mom's even better today than she was yesterday, and they took all the IVs and tubes out. She's coming home tomorrow.

We went by Mom's for a little while so I could check on the doves. I held Claus for a little while and fed the chickens, and then we left.

On the way back to Dad's was when the weather changed and was so, so beautiful. The sunset started and it began to rain beautifully. I turned my head and was looking behind me, and thinking about how if that was an anime, it would be such a cool scene, watching the slick road rush past with the sunset reflecting in it, and all the muted colors of the clouds. We were listening to the song "The Promise of You", which has a lot of sentimental value that started before Pokémon: The First Movie came out and we changed a mere one word to change the song into what is perfect inspiration for a Pokémon fanfic or an AMV or something. It's probably just me, but I interpret it as the story of a Pokémon trainer (or, even more specific, Miyamoto) searching for Mew. Here, I'll post the lyrics. All that needs changing is the word 'you' into 'Mew', and you've got it.


The promise of Mew
It sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe
What secrets sleep in the heart of a man?
So much love wasted
Slip right through my hands
See it in the eyes of the lonely
As they make their weary way
Shimmer in the eyes of longing
I hear it say
The promise of Mew
It sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe
To believe...
What secrets sleep in the heart of the night?
Dreams of salvation
Slipping out of sight
In the shimmering moments of twilight
Closing up the shine
Whisper on the wind of a rescue
Savior in time
The promise of Mew
It sleeps in the air
The air that I breathe
And I know that it's true
Don't have to convince myself to believe
All this time
I've been fighting my own private wars
All this time
You're the peace I searched for
*Repeat chorus


Oh! And Ryan and I watched Naruto 110. Wow, I love it. It had lots of Shikamaru in it, and the whole thing with Naruto's promise to poor Sakura was so sweet. ;_; And I'm so glad Lee's okay! It was just a wonderful, wonderful episode. I'm lovin' it so much. ^^

I'd better be going. Ja ne!

That *is* a weird dream. I've noticed that you have a lot of dreams with harming animals, ne? ;_;

That's a pretty song! Can you email it to me? ^^;

Well, two dreams about harming animals. O_o; I have a LOT of dreams about my animals (particularly my chickens) dying. ;_; It's kind of creepy.

I'll upload it on Dad's computer and see what I can do. :) Let's see if I can remember to do it... XD
