Hello List! Everyone seems to be a bit moody lately, hmm? The list has been reading like a cloudy day, forecasts of gloom. Have you ever felt like you were stuck being a character in a poorly written, poorly acted, foreign film? That is how I have felt the past few weeks. I can't quite put my finger on why exactly, but everything just feels so vague, and murky. I go through the day in sort of a daze, always with this feeling that something monumental and interesting is getting ready to happen and then it doesn't, so I start again the next day. It isn't really a bad feeling, I'm not complaining- it just feels off kilter, like I am wearing someone else's life. I have been having this one dream over and over again, with some variation. It isn't really a Belle and Sebastian dream per se, although they play in the background- it isn't about them. In my dream I am always at home half asleep in new pajamas (one of my favorite things) and the phone rings. I answer it and it is this boy I love (who doesn't exist in real life) and he wants me to come over. Which thrills me, even though I know it isn't smart to go over so late, I don't want him to get the wrong idea, you know. So I kind of put him off a bit- ask him why I need to go over there. And he gets all desperate sounding and starts talking about how much he needs more of the gourmet anchovies I gave him before. And so I go and rummage through my cupboard and I get all stressed out looking for this one particular kind of tin of special anchovies. And I have all these regular tins of anchovies, and even gourmet tins of special sardines, and in some dreams I have a few tins of gourmet anchovies but they are never the right variety, never the ones he wants, and so the dream always ends with me staring into this cabinet all upset because if I just had the right kind of anchovies I could have the man of my dreams, but I don't have them so he won't ever be mine. The weird thing (aside from the obvious) is that I have never eaten an anchovy or sardine to my knowledge. I have most certainly never purchased any kind of tin of them, but most definitely not a Gourmet tin. None of my dream interpretation books mention tins of fish, so I am at a loss. Maybe I should buy a few, just in case...I mean what if Mr. Right were to come calling? I just really needed to share that with someone whose facial expressions or snide remarks I can't see or hear.
