String in My Gums

I was looking at myself in the mirror and I saw a string dangling from my gums. I started pulling on it, pulling it out of my gums, around and around my mouth. It felt like I was unraveling a scarf I had knitted. Was the string man-made? If so, how did it get embedded in my gums? Was it a natural part of my body? What the hell was it? I pulled a big pile of string out of my mouth and when it began unraveling from my bottom jaw, it reached my eye tooth and blood begand gushing out of my mouth. I held my head over the sink wondering what in the hell was happening to me?!

Kathy

We were in a faculty meeting and Kathy told us that the students in her OU class had taken a survey and decided that laminators were old-fashioned and shouldn't be used anymore. I argued with her that I used the laminator a lot and didn't think we should get rid of it. Then we started doing some stupid exercise where we had to read a passage and code it according to a chart she had posted on the wall. I didn't understand what to do and when she walked by our table and noticed I had nothing written down, she confronted me. I got very angry and walked out of the meeting. I went to the workroom and started looking through my mailbox, furious with Kathy.

Sunday Dinner

Russ and I went to his parents' house for a Sunday dinner. There were a lot of people there and I was very nervous. Russ left me alone with everyone while he went to take a shower. It was very crowded around the table and his mom kept filling my plate up with food. She had made some sort of spaghetti casserole. People were asking me questions, but I wasn't hearing them correctly and my answers were strange. We were watching people swim in a pool on TV and there was a couple having sex in the pool. Someone made a joke about them and said, "I wonder what you name a child conceived in a pool?" I suggested, "Chlorine" and everyone thought I was so funny! Russ came into the kitchen dressed only in a towel and I thought he was so sexy. When it was time to leave, Russ headed out to the car while I was gathering my things. When I got outside, I was in a parking lot with a lot of cars and I couldn't figure out which one he was in. I stood on the curb with all of my bags hoping he would see me. He pulled up in a beat-up pickup truck and we drove away.

Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin was my boyfriend. He was at school with me with mom and dad, and we were organizing kids and sending them through some kind of enrollment process. He had such a cute smile and was really enjoying working with the kids. He kept touching me, hugging me, putting his arm around me. I was worried that he'd find out how old I was. We were calling out names of kids and sending them through lines to sign up for a Thanksgiving dinner. Then we ended up in a house, laying on a bed and cuddling.

Basketball

I was in charge of sports at the Y again and I organized a co-ed basketball league. During one of the games, a girl fell and knocked out one of her teeth. I picked her tooth up off the floor and walked with her to the front desk where I got her some ice packs. Her face was bloody and she was very upset that she had lost a tooth. A man came up to me and told me what a great league I had organized. He was very complimentary and interested in my background. I told him I was a teacher and that the Y was just a part-time job. He seemed surprised.

Swimming

Dad and I were at a pool and he was coaching me. I swam a 50 fly so well that I surprised myself. It felt effortless and I wasn't even tired when I finished. Dad was very impressed.

Amy's House

Amy and Matt moved into a new house and I brought Mel and her girls over to see it. It was a huge old house with 4 stories. The 3rd floor was a sports bar with red and black furniture, a bar, round tables and chairs, pool tables, and huge TVs. The stairs to the 4th floor were rickety and there were boards and construction equipment everywhere. There were beams across the ceiling and a giant Neptune holding a trident was painted on the wall. The room had an ocean theme and there was blue sparkly paint on all the walls. The house was so big that you could get lost wandering around in it. An old lady had sold it to them for very cheap, but there was a lot of work to be done to it.
