I Was a Teenage Novice!
Stopped by this salad/sandwich place with B and the parents. We were only stopping for a bite but I somehow ended up chatting with the salad guy. Salad guy disappeared and G showed up - even though we have never really met in real life - and talked about graduate school for me.
We went on this three-hour walk around the town and ended up climbing roofs. While climbing the dome of the capitol roof, my parents found me and reminded me that I ruined this daytrip. So after all I've done in the past months, they had this message for me:

"Get thee to a nunnery."
What? Immediately I thought of all my stuff. My stuff!
I considered bringing my favorite scarf - a woven red thing from Ireland via thrift store - but I worried they would take it away from me. Additionally, I remembered to throw away all my very...private things before leaving the house for good. I have so much stuff.
But I didn't really mind as I realized I would get to shave my head. And the religion? Whatever. So stuck in this room that was about to burst into flames - somehow an initiation to this nunner - I tapped out a tune on a piano made of antique berry spoons. I forgot what it was later on though. Boo. My parents came back to tell me I could go home, but I was feeling not too bad about becoming a nun. The room was heating up like a sauna with flames tickling the walls.
As I walked up a ramp made of rubber, I continually tripped over my hems. All the other novices were pretty titchy and laughed. It was embarassing but whatever. I was going to get my head shaved!

I just had this dream that we were back stage at a Quasi concert and we, along with you date, were listening to new, qirky alternative music. You said that you friend all come visit, take you out on a date, and play new music for you. Maybe we were in a car driving in Sun Prairie. My dreams don't make sense. Anyway.
