May. 29th, 2004 03:29 pm... I thought I only had one dream this morning.. of ff8 (which I *wasn't* playing until 5 am.. honest!)..
But then I remembered something about a book of fairy tales, and this black trainer guy person giving a bunch of us tasks to do, like me, and tisha, and some other people..
Mine was to weight this book around me, and either heat my lungs and cool my appendix, or vice versa. There were two stories bookmarked, and I figured out that one of them (about aurora... sleeping beauty?) was meant to cool, but I don't remember which side. He congratulated me and said I should've figured it out quicker.
This was at a gym place, there were two bars, a high one, where most of the people were lined up at because it was the normal heroic like thing to do..
We were next to this short bar and still couldn't manage it^.^ but it was alright, because we were at some party or something in the first place, which was why we were at my house on the trampoline (which we don't have anymore...)
oh, and I was at megan's house too for a time.. don't remember why, but I remember seeing her dad there, and a yard and lots of sunshine@.x I guess we were going to go get her for the party.
I wish I remembered the ff8 part of it:/ All I remember is that there was a battle with Irvine in it and they were all rode up in this pavilion that does'nt exist anymore at teh school. It looked like late afternoon sunlight, and yeah..
man, late night gaming is getting to me.

When Norway was occupied by Germany in 1940, Norwegian women began to knit RED caps for children as a way of letting everyone know that they did not like what was happening in their country, that they didn't like having their freedom taken away by the Nazis. Similarly, in Denmark, women knit red-white-and-blue caps (colors of the Allies) for the very same reason.
The result was that whenever Norwegians and Danes left their homes -- to go to the store, to work, etc, they could see that THE MAJORITY opposed what was going on in their country. As you know, both countries organized effective Resistance efforts and changed history -- everything that happened began simply by wearing red! (or the colors of the Allies, in Denmark).
1. BACKGROUND: I believe, as many of us do, that at the very heart of our democracy is our right to oppose certain policies of our government. Increasingly, our Government is redefining "freedom" in ways that make too many Americans perceive that it is risky to oppose his policies -- and, in particular, current inroads about individual freedoms and policies in the U.S. and abroad. However, many of us DO oppose what our government is doing to individual rights-- and I have an idea that will allow all of us to recognize each other very easily so we can see that WE ARE THE MAJORITY.
2. SO... I have been thinking that it's time to take action in a way that is effective and easy for all of us to do: Just wear red every Friday between now and election day. Wear a little or a lot-- just be sure that when you leave your house to go about your day -- to work, to school, to the store, to the gas station, wherever you go in your daily routine -- that everyone who sees you will see that you are wearing red because you believe in freedom and you don't agree with our current administration's policies at home and abroad. I'm really certain that we'll see that lots of us wearing red for freedom -- because WE ARE THE MAJORITY. We just need a way to show each other who we are!!! Between now and election day, ask everyone you know to wear red for "Freedom Fridays".
3. I have already spread the word to friends and have had a very enthusiastic response. This email has been forwarded around the country by many who receive it - feel free to send in on."
