Crumbs, Chief!
Aug. 10th, 2006 09:32 amI just don't know about today.
I had a dream last night that involved my household plus
wildnsquirrelly and
matchgirl42 going to some sort of SCA campout event. For some reason, the event had its own travelling zoo/aquarium/freak show, which was in an abandoned warehouse. In the zoo, they had a baby elasmosaurus. I don't know why.
When I told
triadruid about it this morning, he said, "Dinosaurs. That's sort of early period, isn't it?". Also, I couldn't remember the word for elasmosaurus, so I had to describe it to him: "Thingie. Long neck. In the water. Flippers." I worry about that sort of thing. Someday, I think, I'm not going to be able to remember my name, which is a much more alarming prospect to me than it probably ought to be.
Also, yesterday, my mom informed me that my grandparents were going to send me some money. Apparently, they had been paying into some sort of insurance policy on me, but now that it seems like I'm old enough to pay to bury myself, they were going to cash it in and send me the money. I didn't even know you could do this. It's just odd -- it seems like there were all these little tiny accounts all over the place in my family, to pay for my major life things, and as time passes, the money comes to me in dribbles. There was money for college that came to me when I started going to college on scholarship. There was money for my wedding, that came to me when I moved to KC (apparently because if I had not married by 24, I was unlikely to ever marry). Now, I'm getting the money that was set aside to bury me. I'm not sure how to feel about that, but I think I'm going to opt for "Ooh, that will help pay for DragonCon!".
EDIT: Further also, there were apparently some bets on in the world that sprang from my post yesterday, in which I mentioned world domination. In the interest of clearing up any confusion, if I were to rule the world, I would rather be referred to as "Emperor" than "Empress". It's all good being the Empress, but the Emperor almost universally gets less ridiculous outfits.
