| "I had a dream that you were a well known author who just published 2 books and your little brother just passed away. You also had a note that I gave you that said Yungi Bungi on it! I have NO idea why I had that dream but it just made me remember all the younger days and the "Happy Birthday Yungi Bungi" sign that I made for you for one of your birthdays. Strange I know."
out of the blue, lisa emailed and friended me on facebook. the last time i saw her was about 9 years ago when she and my older brother were roommates in college station. i remember still being resentful towards her for suddenly ditching our friendship in junior high--now, it means nothing. the insult was well over 15 years ago, and if i can't get over it, i've got deeper issues.
i have dreams now and then about past friends and acquintances, and even think about telling them. being on the other end of that situation is odd. i've let her dream sit in my head though--i enjoy writing and have even considered writing for others (and trying to be published), but now, my silly thought is so: if i start writing, my brother will pass away. i love everyone in my family very much, but i've often had an irrational fear of losing my younger brother before his time is supposed to be up. so i guess i'll never attempt to be published.
when i was in college, i had a dream one night that i was talking to my dad face to face. when i woke up the next morning, i was mildly thoughtful regarding this--i had neither seen nor spoken to him for over 5 years. had heard no news of him and had considered him out of my life. that very day, while sitting at my computer, our apt phone rang. jo answered, then peaked her head into our room and whispered questionably to me, "um, yung... it's your dad." i was stunned.
that same year, i had another dream that a friend's stepfather died. in the dream, i remember thinking to myself, "wait, this is weird, she doesn't have a stepfather. that doesn't make sense. but why is she so sad anyway?" that next day, i found out that that friend's grandfather was suddenly ill. he passed away within a month.
two months ago, i was at an asian grocery store and was picking out cucumbers when i suddenly had an image of my mom's church friends. we hadn't seen them in a few years. not a few minutes later, i looked up and saw them just as they saw me. they had just entered the store, and we had been there awhile, so there was no way i had seen them coming in.
i'm a skeptic when it comes to visions and dreams (yes, still am). anytime my mom tells me about something seemingly supernatural, i brush it off and tell her that some thought was probably planted into her head prior to the occurrence, and i am quite skeptical of my own "experiences". however, with these little bits occurring more and more, i can't help but become more cautious. i don't see it as blind magic, but i know there's much left that we don't yet understand and dismiss as supernatural. we used to regard those who became ill (TB, schizophrenia, seizures) as evil, but now it's all medical science. someday, dreams will be a well traversed territory in academia... as will be fortune-telling, feng shui, etc., and we'll understand and appreciate the connection.
until then, i'll give writing a rest.

| i hate:
-putting away tupperware
-taking off mascara (taking make-up off my face in general... such abuse to my skin)
-putting on make-up
-a bed crowded with pillows
-what dessert does to my head
-what a coke does to my throat/stomach
-time spent in front of my computer (passes too quickly and often fruitless)
-facebook (even more now)
i like:
-mornings, but only after i get out the door and the first breath of chilly, fresh air shocks some life into my lungs
-showers before bed
-time spent outdoors (slower and sweeter)
what gets me talking:
-music, especially vocals
-the art of communication
-relationships, dynamics
-medicine (can't believe i can add that now)
alternate careers:
-open up refreshments cafe on corner of braeswood and fannin for grad students in med center
-writer (comedy? SNL?)
-singer

to be continued.

| this time, without the anticipation of christmas or any other huge event, it truly feels like the start of a break. yesterday night, erica and i were going to go dance our little hearts out (to make up for the lameness that was charity ball), but by the time 9:30 pm rolled around, we were both too tired to join the other girls. early bedtime is sweet.
i'm cleaning house, then packing. at this point, unless something comes up, i'm likely leaving for dallas by late afternoon instead of tomorrow.
i'm proud of myself. it's been a rough 2 months, what with both personal and academic aspects challenging me more than usual. academically, we're completely done with anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology--all huge energy suckers. next block, i have 10 or 11 classes, but they're more busy work than anything.
saturday, deb and jo are throwing a party. "the morningside revue" will be a gathering of talents that we've only seen bits and pieces of from friends we've known for years. fabulous idea. i'm working on a solo act and a routine with debbie. so excited. i miss my insane friends. | | |
| was lame. it was in the basement of the hyatt regency. there were many moments when there was absolutely no music. a student rock band played for an hour or so in the middle of the ball--they were awesome, but it wasn't appropriate for a ball with a bunch of med students and residents and doctors standing around in gowns and tuxes. the DJ didn't start playing dancing music until midnight. and did i mention it was in a basement? yeah. it was still semi-nicely done, but still, a basement?? that being said, i got the chance to get all dolled up--and can i say it?--i enjoyed being seen as pretty and feminine as opposed to the usual me in jeans and t-shirts or scrubs. and it great seeing everyone else enjoy the same. i don't have my camera so i didn't take any photos, but my lovely sister told me that photos from my classmates have been posted on facebook. now, i get to teach myself a month's worth of orthopedics and rheumatology in 10 hours. yay.
this was before alison had 7 drinks and misplaced her boyfriend. notice the tacky basement lights.
