Well, 2009 is underway, and . . . I can't seem to think of anything to write again. Man, I hate writer's block. Well, uh, since I'm a member of tvtropes now, I've been going there a lot.
Actually, I will tell you one thing. My Evangelion fanfic? That was only part one.
*insert Shinji screaming maniacally*
In other news, throughout the years, I've had dreams at night. Most of my dreams don't make any sense whatsoever. However, I've had a few dreams that have classic moments. Let me tell you some of them.
- During my early teen years, I had a dream where I was a tour guide. I was doing normal tour guiding, when all of a sudden, I blurted out loud, "HEY LOOK EVERYBODY! IT'S MEWTWO!" And to my right was a Mewtwo plushie. In the gift shop. All the tourists looked disappointed. I reluctantly admitted, "Wait, um, that's just a pokemon accessory."
- One time, I had a dream that I was at a McDonald's. What's interesting is I saw myself from a third-person perspective. As in, the "camera" was not from my eyes, but from somewhere else. In this case, the "camera" was behind the cash register, looking at me. The manager asks to take my order. I say, "I'll have a quarter pounder with cheese, a large fry, and a medium coke." At that precise moment, someone jumps up from beneath the counter on my side and shouts, "AND I'LL HAVE ONE OF EVERYTHING!" Who could be so short as to have to jump up to the counter to order, yet have enough of an appetite to order one of everything? I knew the answer right away. "Kirby, is that you!? Well it's a small world after all!" Kirby and I sat down and had lunch. We talked about things. Kirb mentioned that someone made "A horrible anime about me." It was great.
- A few years ago, I dreamt I was playing Megaman Legends 2. This was well after the PS1's reign was over, (I didn't own a copy of MML2 until 2005.) A friend of mine from school walks in and says, "What are you playing a PS1 game for? I thought you said the Playstation sucks!" I said, "I did. But for this game, I made an exception." The guy leaves. Then, my mind starts talking to me. My mind speaks in my own voice. It says, "You lied to him. You lied, because you didn't want him to know the real reason you're playing Megaman Legends 2. You didn't tell him that the real reason you're playing this game is because Tron Bonne is in it, and that, you love her. What's the matter? Are you scared of what would happen if he knew the truth?" I became startled, a la Norman Bates, hearing my own subconscious tear right through me like that. Yes, this is how I coped with my first crush on a fictitious character, peoples.
- One time, I had a dream that played from a first-person perspective, as usual. I was trying not to fall into this open pit. Unfortunately, I did. When I hit the bottom, I set off some landmines. My body stopped moving. The last thing I heard? "Beep beep beep, beep beep, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep" *silence* (In case you don't get it, that's the sound you hear whenever you die in Half-Life.)
- Getting back to my early teen years, I had a dream in my hometown. It was late at night. I was stargazing with a friend of mine. We look up, and we see something, moving. My friend says, "Hey look, a plane!" I look up, but it's definitely not a plane. I correct him, "That's not a plane; that's Superman." My friend says, "Oh. Well, what's he doing outside of Metropolis?" As my friend pondered this, the image became much more clear. I then knew what it really was, "Wait, that's not a plane, and it's not a superhero either! It's a bird!" The bird was now as clear as day. I shouted, "Why, it's Lugia!" And sure enough, the Pokebird of legend was soaring through the night sky, as brilliant as the Pleiades star cluster! It's a thing I'll remember forever.
- And now for a revelation. (Although I kinda already mentioned this in a very early post, but now it's official.) Once, I dreamt about watching a tv show with two friends. The show went to a commercial. To pass the time, we all close our eyes and daydream. My two friends daydream about humping a chick with huge boobs. I daydreamed about being at an elegant ball, dressed in a black tuxedo. The live band began playing a waltz I like. I got up, and looked to see if anyone wanted to dance with me. I found someone, a young girl in a white dress. She had luscious black hair, beautiful black eyes, and such grace! We danced to the waltz . . . before the show came back on. That waltz I like? A variation of Eyes on Me. And that girl? Rinoa Heartilly. From Final Fantasy VIII. One of the few fictional girls that's not anime-esque that I have a crush on. WHAT!? She's the prettiest video game girl I've ever seen, to this day! Not to mention Insanely Cute.
- A few ago, I had a dream. In the dream, I had a vision. In the vision, I saw the comeback of one of my favorite tv shows of all time. I wake up (in the dream, mind you. I didn't wake up in the real world just yet.), ecstatic! I run to all of my friends, and I tell them, "Rejoice! I have had a vision of good fortune!" And my friends asked what did I see. I tell them, "I saw . . . a fifth season . . . of Futurama!" They gasp and say, "NOOOOOO!" But I say, "Oh my yes! I saw them: Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, in footage that I've never seen in the show. Then I realized, it's all footage that hasn't been made, YET!" And a few years later, the movies materialized. A bit of truth in that one.
