Note: 1. this is long, but may interest you. 2. the content of this dream has absolutely nothing to do with what i feel about the band members, but of course if you're so into freud or subconciousness, feel free to email me an analysis. 3. don't hate me, isobel fans, i swear i like her as much as you do. -------LiQin I was at a bus station, and suddenly an old woman wearing a pair of sunglasses (she looked like the old woman in Ranma ½ the anime) came up to me and asked me where she could find a copy of Tigermilk the CD. We then went to Nanjing Road where I said to her, "this is the only place you can find Tigermilk these days."(I had a post-war or post-something-big feeling when I said this in my dream) Because she was wondering why we didn't go to Beijing Road instead. (I'm from China so presumably I was at home when this happened, because Beijing Road is the most popular shopping area, hence the 'why not Beijing Road' question. But the strange thing is, there isn't any Nanjing Road in Guangzhou...) So I led her to an obscure apartment somewhere down the Road. I knew where this place was because someone else showed me how to get there before. So we got in, and when I was about to hand her the CD that I fetched from a shelf, a young woman came in the room, it seemed like she was a management type of person of the band.(Katrina?) She asked me what I was doing, I told her I was trying to get this old woman a Tigermilk CD. Then she pointed to the old woman and said, "well she looked more like a man than a woman to me."(What sense does this make?? It just sounds hilarious to me, not in my dream, but when I type it out) The old woman, upon hearing this, took off her sunglasses. Then suddenly the young woman was jumping and hugging the old woman, shouting, "Jenowl! Long time no see!"(the whole thing is just so manga or anime like) and it seemed to me that the young woman knew all along she was Jenowl but just wanted to tease me. In the meantime I noticed that on the desk right below the shelve there was a letter written to Isobel by some male member of the band. (I just knew it was either Stevie or Mick) I went through it quickly (just couldn't help) and found out that it was basically a love letter. There was another letter placed near by that. I didn't open it (it was well folded) but I assumed it was a reply from Isobel. (by now I was alone in the room, the young woman and Jenowl left) I also found a third letter by the window, and without opening it I knew it was for another female band member from another male band member. Somehow I took all three letters and managed to drop them unintentionally, and couldn't tell each other apart. (why I couldn't tell them apart? I don't know, maybe they all look the same all of a sudden) and I felt something bad was going to happen. I walked out of the room to a lounge, where I saw all the band members and the young woman mentioned above and Jenowl. (this would be a sufficient reason why this is a dream =) They were arguing about something, something involving Isobel and maybe Stuart. Someone said, "There are so much trouble and it's all because of you!" directing at Isobel. And some others agreed, saying, "because you were always 'the main female character' of the band, it's always natural to pair you up with Stuart, 'the main male character' of the band. But it's not right, there should never be a main female character, you should just be like the rest of us." Isobel was mad, I could tell, and she ran into another room (her's I assumed). Then the rest of the band started telling Stuart that what they just said was true and it was for the best of the band to get rid of Isobel. Before long Stuart was convinced, and they started to discuss who should replace Isobel. One of them said it should be someone..., and Stuart said it should be someone that knows how to ...tracking. (... represents the exact words that they used that I forgot) Then all of a sudden they all look at me, and I knew they were going to say, "you know how to track ..., right?" To which I responded with a nervous yes. Quickly after this Isobel came back in with a suitcase (apparently they all live here). She was very angry, and instead of talking back to the other band members, she walked up to Anna (a newly joined band member, it was only in my dream, and for some reason she was called Anna) and said to her, "you have clean teeth, you should use some bloody English..." at which point I woke up. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
