I woke up this morning and didn't remember any dreams, so I had a bit of a nap.
Very realistic and more talking, noise. We were watching a reality show. It was about 2 guys and 2 girls on an obstacle course. The point was to skateboard up the escalators, and around a toy car track upside down. Only one boy could do it. The girls being interviewed and they were being sued for some damage they had caused, they weren't happy. Then I was on scene trying the skate board. Anna arrived and Bev was waiting outside, for some reason she didn't want to be around us, and Anna and I were discussing it. The skate had 2 plastic containers as wheels, the front part of my foot was supposed to fit in, the lid was to seal around and the air trapped inside was to help bounce along, but I couldn't get it to work. Then were were walking around under the escalators, it kind of reminded me of Chinook mall and the escalators going up to the theater, around the toy store. There was a chemistry set that someone had been playing with that smelled like weed. We all went for a sniff and understood why Bev didn't want to be around us, she thought we were smoking it.
Then we were sitting in my car, behind the Didsbury curling rink. Corey was shotgun, a skinny exchange kid and I were sitting in the middle, Ashley Edwards was in driver, and Anna and Dave were in the back. I was talking to Ashley, and someone was horsing around, there was hot popcorn on my lap and I started protesting. The skinny kid was getting mad, I told him if he didn't like it, he could get out, so he did. He squeezed out the passenger door like a ribbon.
Then we decided to drive around. We were on the road parallel to the train tracks in Didsbury. We passed a billboard for vibe 98.5, there was a number on it: 121. They were advertising the wedding they were financing, the goal was to get 121 strangers at the wedding but admission was $4.95. We passed a Chinese sculpture shop with huge, gorgeous, golden statues in the window. I wanted to go in so we drove to park in the lot, Corey was driving. As we were walking in, Ashley was telling Corey that she sprayed a random cologne on herself, Corey said it made her smell like a doctor. I couldn't smell it and started whining, "I can't smell it, what's wrong with me?!" I walked in the first door, and as I was going through the second, a man was holding open the door trying to exit. We were in his way, he looked perturbed and started mumbling and to himself and twitching. Corey looked back, worried, I ran and hugged him and we carried on to the store. We were looking down an isle at a kinetic sculpture like a lazy susan, there was a plastic flamingo on grass around a pond on top. Eden appeared and was telling us how she made one just like it, then she saw shot glasses she wanted but they were too expensive. They were marked cheap for the next day. I went around to the other side of the aisle and Eden and I were trying on hats. They were ugly. The others were at the register paying, and I was looking at purses and necklaces, I wanted to take something apart and use the parts in my own art. There were three women in the aisle, 2 were sitting on a bench, one was talking and standing. The 2 sitting were a grandmother and granddaughter. The little girl said to me, "I like it because it's shiny." I smiled at her. There was a purse strap with very large brown lips at charms. I really wanted it. I mistook the price, what I thought was $20 was actually $120. I also saw a centaur necklace and a solved rubix cube amongst many others. Corey came to collect me, the others were waiting for me. I wanted him to buy it for me, but I didn't voice that. I was frantically pulling out my phone so I could get a picture of the lips. Corey put his hand on my shoulder, was gently shaking me and I couldn't get a focused photo. I was really angry at him. We left the store as a woman was coming in, the door was extra wide and I shoved it open so we could all fit through. Corey knew I was angry with him and he started belting out Alive by Edwin in an opera voice. A man leaving a liquor store was walking across behind us and joined in on the song. I started laughing really hard, and I wasn't angry anymore.
