I started re-watching NCIS starting from Season 1 since I got most of the series from Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals. Anyway, on the night that I don't watch NCIS, I had an NCIS dream with a twist.
The dream itself was a lot longer with a bunch of weird twists and turns, but the part I remember the most clearly was the NCIS part. I'm on the NCIS team with Gibbs, Kate, and Tony on some recon-mission in one of those middle of nowhere towns. We have to jump off a plane and parachute to the town and when we arrive it's like quiet everywhere and a little touristy. The outskirts of the town is separated by a river and you need to cross a bridge to the other side. A little ways out of the bridge are these giant metal shelters, like spaceships that crashed to the ground.
There are monster zombies on the other side and our mission is to kill all the baddies. And this is when the dream starts to merge a bit with SC2 (which I haven't played in ages). The monsters are pretty much zombies with zerg-like qualities: there's always a bunch of them, they swarm, and they're FAST. The only difference is that they're really strong individually. The NCIS team and I are like the marines but we don't have good gears, just pistols. Our job is to watch to see how bad the zerg-zombie-people-monsters.
A small team of red-shirts tried to escape from them by going into one of the fallen spaceships and locking the door. But one of the monsters managed to push the door in so hard that it broke the metal and then the swarm just killed them all. All we could do was hide behind a fallen tree trunk and observe what was going on. And then Gibbs was like, "We can't help them..."
Then my mom told me to get up and clean up the house and I had to wake up.
My dreams never have a conclusive ending. It gets annoying when I want to know what happens next but I have to wake up because I slept too long or I have to get up for work/errands.
I had a bad headache this morning and had to call in sick. I ended up sleeping until like 6 p.m. I had these weird dreams about different stuff and my dreams kept changing.
But there was this cool part of my dream where my dad had like an jet hanger or whatever in his warehouse and he would fly me places and stuff. And this was like during a Resident Evil-ish zombie/t-virus-ish area so the whole family would go out and be all removing heads and destroying brains. Then we had to infiltrate this one other shady warehouse that also doubled as a fancy restaurant. I don't remember the gist of it but my mom and dad saw some family friends waiting in line to get into the warehouse restaurant (it was very fancy and chic), so they had to like convince them not to go by playing off the, "Oh hey! Long time no see, let's go hang out somewhere else cuz this line is too long and stuff!" and I had to do that with the kilds. Eventually the parents left, but the kids and I were still in line. So I told them that I was going to go check out the wait time. I went in and started snooping around by shadowing the wait staff and stuff. The rooms kept changing and then I found myself back in the lobby, but the kids were gone.
I just finished watching Walking Dead (yes, I'm going to read the comics... soon... eventually...) and then when I was coming home from work today, I started thinking: Would a hybrid car be a good investment to survive a zomibie apocalpse? They don't make a lot of sound so it won't attract as many zombies. They use less gas so it would save you time from scrounging for supplies and/or you could use the gas for other equip.
That's all I can really think of. There are probably some cons, but these were just fleeting thoughts.
I also wondered how safe my office would be during a zombie apocalypse. It seems like a relatively fortefied place, but then again, if there are zombies INSIDE I wouldn't want to be stuck in there... and the automatic doors close really slowly, which is bad for a getaway.
Yeah... too much zombies for me, time to watch Game of Thrones now.
I am SO TOTALLY going to the Doctor Who panel on SUNDAY! I AM SO EXCITED LIKE WHOA! I wonder if there will be a chance for autographs? Probably not, but at least I can dream
MATT SMITH AND KAREN GILLAN! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE A TORCHWOOD SHOWING WITH Q&A AT THE END AND JOHN BARROWMAN IS GONNA BE THERE!!!
I AM TOTALLY EFFING PSYCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So today I'm pretty angry. And I only ever use my Xanga whenever I feel like I should be the owner of a Red Lantern ring (or if something really funny/weird happens and I HAVE to share!).
An old aquaintence that I haven't spoken to for a long while initiates communication with me. This person is friendly-like and we go into some small talk, leading into talking about this person's business. I'm going to refer to this person F because it's going to get confusing (for me anywy).
So F starts talkin' bout F's business and how F meets people and stuff. F asks me if I'm working and I said, "Yeah, I'm working at ABCDEFG blah blah blah stuff stuff stuff." F is like, "That's cool, if you're ever intersted blah blah blah my business blah blah etc." And then as a joke (and partially serious, because F is starting to sound like a telemarketer), "What are you selling?"
F is all, "Oh no, I'm not selling anything! Blah blah blah, etc." (I hate that line because it's just a HUGE red flag of OBIVIOUSLY SELLING SOMETHING!) F never really tells me what the business is, but whatever, F is happy where F is working and what not. Good for F.
I don't hear from F for a while. Fast forward a few days, maybe a week or two, later. F is having a GRAND OPENING MIXER and invites me to come over. I try to be polite, I'm not really interested but I say I'll ask my friend, R, wants to go and I'll go if R goes. I think R would benefit from this more than me. F says ok just let F know the next day. So I ask R. R isn't really interested either, but will think about it through the night.
The next day, R isn't interested and I'm like OK, well if you don't go then I won't go. I text F that I won't go, I'm happy with where I'm working and R isn't interested. F calls, but I don't pick up the phone because I'm driving and I'm not dexterous enough to talk on the phone and drive at the same time. I get a text from F that I don't read until I get home. Basically the text says F isn't trying to get me to work for F or whatever, F just wants me to come over and meet people in different businesses/industries that could help me.
I call F back and let F know that I was driving and I'm not really interested in going. F says something like, "Why do you think I'm trying to get you away from your job? blah blah blah etc." F asks if I have any plans, I say that I was planning to talk to my sister, who is abroad right now, and F says that I really don't have any plans and that I should come over. I tell F that R doesn't want to go and I don't know anybody there other than F. I also tell F that I don't exactly know what his business is since I'm getting the feeling that "What exactly are you selling?" will give me the "I'm not trying to sell anything!" line again. F tells me what the business is and I'm thinking, "That's nice, why couldn't you tell me this last time?"
F is starting to get pushy about getting me to go, so I cave, "Alright, I'll ask R again if R wants to go since I don't want to go alone." F says that's cool and that we should totally come.
I call another friend, D, who is a very close friend and actually introduced me to F. D tells me to just give a flat NO or say I'm tired or whatever since F can be kind of pushy. I decide to call R. We talk about it and we decide not to go.
I text F back and say again, "Thanks for the invite, but we're not interested."
Then, a SLEW of texts come back to me going along the lines of: "Wow, you won't come support me when I need your help?" "I can't belive you would this, what kind of friend are you?" "I see... so this is how you think of me."
REALLY?
Firstly, I have not spoken to you in YEARS and you're acting like I owe you something for being in ONE class with you! We are NOT friends, we're AQUAINTENCES, you shouldn't expect ANYTHING from me. Secondly, whenever you say "I'm not trying to sell you anything" but keep pushing your business and how great it is, how much money you make, etc. you are DEFINITLY trying to sell me something or at least recruit me for something. Thirdly, your attitude needs work. If you think this is how you social network, then good luck with your business.
