quiregrrlI had the most vivid and colourful dreams last night... it was like my subconscious had taken acid... one bit I remember really clearly, I was sitting on the edge of a swimming pool with best boy, our feet dangling in the water, and we were really high up, like on top of a building or mountain or something, and it was one of those horizon pools where the water flows over the edge of the pool and there's nothing behind it but the view, and it was nighttime and we were looking out across the city and having this really profound discussion about how something so beautiful could contain so much ugliness, and the city was like some people, up close in the every-day living you see ugliness, and despair, and madness and griminess and chaos and noise and you wish you could get away from it all and just leave it behind, but then you take a step back, or see them from another angle, and your breath gets snatched away with how beautiful they are and you forget for a moment about the madness and chaos... and so you stay, even with all the madness and chaos... certain people and the city, bad relationships that keep us there with moments of beauty that shine so bright we're blinded to the ugliness for a while longer... and then i jumped into the pool and pulled him in after me and we were swimming in our clothes and making faces at each other under the water...
And the other bit I remember was trying to get the stars I want tattooed on my wrist and the tattooist telling me I couldn't because no-one can own the stars, and then he suggested something else (some kind of animal I can't remember) and told me I should get it on my foot and I took my shoe off so we could contemplate my foot and I already had a black tattoo outline of a little elephant, and two impossible brandings of a giraffe and a hippo behind the elephant... they were lined up along the inside of my foot, and the tattooist said that the other animal would be perfect and he could put it at the end of the line, and I tried to tell him that I had no recollection of ever getting those three animals on my foot and he said "They've been there all the time, you just couldn't see them until you were ready"...
It was WEIRD... and so vivid that I felt compelled to check my foot when I woke up...
In other news... these weeds look like a snail to me... Weed-Snail waits...
