i woke up from the strangest dream today.
it wasn't the events of the dream which were strange. they were pretty mundane.
i was at my parents' house and it was next wednesday. that makes sense because i'm going home next wednesday. we were getting ready for kyle's wedding and everybody was running around (exactly like they will be doing next wednesday). we went shopping at the mall, and when we got home my mom told me to go put my suit on. i was suddenly paralyzed by fear.
where was my suit?
i had to confess to my mom that it appeared as if i had completely forgotten to pack for this trip. i had no luggage. "in fact, mom, i don't even remember coming home. i don't remember the airport, the train ride, nothing. it's as if i just woke up here."
my dad looked at me like i was an idiot. he told me "not to forget to pack next time." we went to men's warehouse and while i was trying on a new suit, i woke up.
i woke up, here, in chicago where i live. i was in my bed, where i belong.
that's all really. it was pretty weird, though.

in the 7+ years that i've had this journal, i've never changed the layout, titles, fonts, or even my interests. i'm not sure what that means, but i just noticed it. the only thing that has "changed" is that i've added user icons here and there.

i didn't really think i would ever do any more "solo performance," but last night i showcased a piece that i've been working on for a little while now and finally got up the nerve to do it.
it's called "gavin reads from his livejournal."

i can see your living room from my bedroom and i have some demands.
-stop cuddling on the couch so damn much
-stop having really hip, intellectual people over for wine & vegan dinner
-stop reading the new york times magazine
-don't you people work somewhere? stop being home all day.
-your socks are habitually mismatched. fix that.
other than that, feel free to go about your life as you usually would. just know that i'm up here, all alone all the time, blogging or whatever (& lately, fixing computers in hattiesburg, mississippi & harrahan, louisiana); and i can't concentrate when you look so damned happy over there with your lazy days or whatever.
you're the reason i drink, you know.

seriously, y'all. it started snowing last night & it still is. it's supposed to keep going ALL WEEK. i just walked home from rehearsal because i'm too impatient to wait for a bus and, in theory, my apartment isn't that far from irving park & clark. in theory. in practice, when there's a foot of snow on the ground, it was unbearable.
my head is ringing and i'm sweating because i was wearing so many layers out there. everything is wet, & my apartment is cold.
the christmas tree needs to be taken outside.
the dishes need to be done.
i need to vacuum.
the titans/ravens game is on tv, and therefore, i am not doing shit.
call me in august.

i have returned to chicago from louisiana and florida.
i had a really great time with my family,
and i did many things.
i drank a lot at epcot.
i rode the rockin' rollercoaster.
kyle and i rode space mountain 4 times.
ate some good food,
got sick at planet hollywood.
i'm still happy to be back in the cold, though.
pictures can be seen here:

honestly, this was one of the best new years i've had in a while. i was alone, drinking beer in the hot tub at our resort. @ midnight, i got out, walked up some stairs and watched fireworks all over the place.
2008 was all kinds of great. i am in a wonderful place in my life right now. still, i can't wait for 2009.
i love all of you and i hope you had/will have a wonderful year.

i'm in florida with my family.
i'm enjoying myself, sometimes.
sometimes, i'm being overly cynical.
i'm cynical because all around me is .
the weather is perfect.
there are too many people here.
i am ready to be back in chicago.

last night, micah and i went to chelsea's and drank abita amber.
today, micah and i went to chelsea's and ate catfish.
micah and i's interactions have always been memorable. we've gone through things together, helped each other out. he lived on my couch in chicago for a while, i have been his short story proof-reader for 5 years.
chelsea's holds a special place in our hearts, duh. it helped to form our opinions of art, music, friendship, and drinking. being there so much over the past couple of days with a person who means so much to me has been incredibly relaxing. when i first got back here, i was stressed out. i didn't know why i was here, and i grew weary of other people's pressure. it's complicated, but i'm over it now.
i saw kimmy, she is a wonderful person to have in my life. she made me a cake that looks like a nutria rat. i went out in plaquemine with david davitt. i am happy here, as i am everywhere. for some reason, though, it took 6 hours at chelsea's to remind me of that.

things wrong with star trek: deep space 9
1. the sisko/picard fued - stupid way to introduce a new captain
2. major kira - ugh.
3. odo - kind of a stupid character, especially his relationship with kira
4. the new orleans connection - even before katrina, this was a stupid tie-in
5. the emissary - making your main character a religious leader seems iffy
things right about star trek: deep space 9
1. the dominion - once that storyline gets really rolling, shit gets good
2. the comedic stylings of o'brien & bashir - those 2 rock.
3. worf - i mean, he's worf.
4. odo - sometimes, his storyline is pretty strong
5. the ferengi - always good for a laugh
any other suggestions?
