Dreams are weird and slightly scary

Number of naps so far today: 0
Number of calories burned: -350
Motivation level to finish out the semester: 8
Number of times seen Twilight: 2
Number of hours spent on massive amounts of homework: 0

So I watched all 12 episodes of True Blood Thanksgiving night and I'm totally in love. I suggest it to anyone who enjoys Twilight. In fact, the stories are eerily similar. But I figured out that the books True Blood is based off of were published years before Twilight was, so if anything is copying it's Twilight. I'll ponder this more later....

Today my thoughts are tainted with last nights dream. I had breakfast with my dad yesterday and every time we get together he updates me on the family. I have tons of aunts and uncles, and therefore tons of cousins, so there's always something going on. Mostly there's always news about someone getting pregnant. So yesterday was full of news about cousins cheating on their wives, getting someone else knocked up, having to move back with their parents. Ugh. So last night I guess I hadn't pushed those stories far enough out of my mind so there they were, in my dreams. Only it wasn't my cousins, it was people I know. Friends of mine were having kids together. Friends who'd never met before. It was freaky. I woke up freaked out. I'm still freaked out.

I guess it's one of those scenarios you can't really fully communicate to another person. And yeah, I know it was a dream, but when it's so real like that it's hard to get over it. Especially since part of it was based on reality. Why can't I dream about things I want to dream about? I remember watching Pride and Prejudice everyday after school for about a year and taking a nap toward the middle of it. I would usually wake up at the end when everything is all cute and happy, but never did I dream of Mr. Darcy. Why not? That was my purpose! That was why I let the movie play while I was napping! To see him in my dreams! I didn't even get so much as a peek at Mr. Bingley or Mr. Collins!

I've read Twilight and Harry Potter many times before I would go to sleep and I wouldn't dream about that. Why? Even after I'd spent all day reading them I still couldn't get my mind to focus on them when I slept! How awesome would it be to dream about being in Harry Potter or Twilight? Seriously! And last night I had been watching a two hour special on the history of vampires AND I'd been reading the book True Blood is based off of. I hadn't been doing any homework and I'd pushed my conversation with my dad far out of my mind! So what gives? What do I have to do to dream about dreamy southern vampires or just Mr. Darcy?

I'm sure there's a book out there that could help me, but I'm far too lazy to find it. Instead I will go and pretend to study. And push my weird dream far from my mind.
