  <description>I JUST HAD ONE OF THE SCARIEST FUCKING DREAMS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;these big, strong hostile aliens were starting to take over earth. i was fighting them off and killing them because i had a gun, but we just kept finding bigger aliens and they were getting really pissed. we found a bunch of people sitting in a peaceful circle at the top of a hill by a beach, so we figured it must be a safe spot even though it was guarded with a bunch of armed men. the two people i was with parked the minivan we were traveling in and we went to join them. soon after we went inside a building only to find some of them trapped in the basement. we started to kill them, but these ones were harder to defeat. we got all but one, and by that point he was starting to approach us. i was scared to death and hauled ass down to the beach and jumped in the water until nighttime.</description>

  <description>we were at this huge graduation ceremony in this really old auditorium. my whole family was there, including john who isn&apos;t really my family but whatever. great grandma bear was there and she got up to make a speech, and i cried the entire time because i missed her. laran stover made a speech too. then the ceremony ended and jamie, stef and i all hugged and i hung out with my family. we then waled into the next room, which turned out to be my aunt&apos;s house, and she had a bunch of softball trophies above her closet and a little cup full of umaine memorabilia.</description>

  <title>painkiller dreams</title>
  <link>http://beauty-oflife.livejournal.com/26183.html</link>
  <description>okay. i saw a wilco concert in russia and met jeff tweedy. by the way, i was sierra for about half of this dream. we walked into town in the snow together, talking the whole time and i was really starting to admire him. when we got there, we learned that there was going to be a &quot;snow hurricane&quot;, which i now realize to rest of the world is known as a blizzard. his lady friend came and he started giving all his attention to her and seemed annoyed with me. we were going to be stuck in a little house for three days, maybe more because of the snow. his lady friend left and it was just me, him and my grandparents in this little house in this mountain valley sort of thing (it was a circle of mountains that would protect us from the storm). i was me at this point. i couldn&apos;t understand why he was annoyed with me and was jealous of the woman who had left earlier. i left him alone while we both tried to sleep. after a while i said i only wanted to play kickball with him, and he said that&apos;s what he wanted to do with me. we played after the storm ended. jeff also looked more like elliott smith in my dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEXT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i went off to school in maine and mom and dad got a new dog to be kloey&apos;s companion. school was going great and i was finding my classes and had a class about leaves or something. soon i learned that kloey was dying and had a week to live. i rushed home from school to be with her. she was breathing really heavily and stopped all of a sudden. it was really fucking depressing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;theeeeeeen there was another i don&apos;t remember much of. i was driving through maine to canada and ended up driving with some lady. the area was very lovely.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dream job??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i cannot think of anything I would enjoy more than being a housewife and stay-at-home mom. What I want to do more than anything in my lifetime is have my own family and devote my life to them. i hate working as of now, it&apos;s so pointless, at least it is &lt;i&gt;right now&lt;/i&gt;, for &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt;. i don&apos;t need money, and i hate the extra stress. i couldn&apos;t work in a corporate setting...i couldn&apos;t see myself there in a million years. i like to think: &quot;how did they do things in simpler times?&quot; the husband worked, the wife cooked and cleaned and took care of the kids. that said, i think it&apos;d be safe to assume i don&apos;t give a rat&apos;s patoot for all that women empowerment/feminist crap. equal rights, blah blah blah. women can stick up for themselves. i&apos;m going to get an education. i wish to choose someday to dedicate myself to my family. just because i choose to try to create good, productive humans to send out into the world doesn&apos;t make me less of a human than my husband.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but i digress. i&apos;ll step off my soapbox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess my dream job, when thinking along the lines of what is generally considered a &quot;job&quot;, would be to be a doctor of some sort. perhaps a pediatrician, because another thing i&apos;d really like to do sometime in my life is to study medicine and provide aid to those who need it but can&apos;t afford it or don&apos;t have access to it. i would absolutely love to be a part of a program that sends doctors to poor countries to give much needed medical aid to the citizens there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;while i know that&apos;s subject to change, i feel different about this than the other career choices i&apos;ve taken interest in. recently i&apos;ve changed a great deal due to a person i was involved with, he taught me so much and really made me see things differently, and i truly feel such a depth of gratitude for him doing so. i liked to focus on balance before i met him, but i never realized that harmony required equal emphasis. his desire to try to help people and make the world a better place was contagious and it spread to me. this is why i see no point in a career that doesn&apos;t work to aid others who need help...i just couldn&apos;t bring myself to do anything else. and i know the road to becoming a doctor is a long, difficult and expensive one, but for once in my life, i&apos;m not offput or intimidated by it; which really makes me think: maybe i&apos;ve found my passion.</description>

  <title>these first few days</title>
  <link>http://beauty-oflife.livejournal.com/22263.html</link>
  <description>were pretty rough. i&apos;ve been constantly hungry, which really bothers me. i&apos;ve done perfectly though. no slip-ups, well, i haven&apos;t had a full GALLON of water any of the days, but i&apos;ve come close. the natural diuretic in the meds with all the water i&apos;m drinking means i&apos;ve spent maybe a fifth of the last three days in the commode. i&apos;ve been exhausted, cranky, and frustrated too. anyone would be, only being allowed 10 ounces of protein each day, nothing else. i finally feel better, for the most part. i&apos;m still a bit tired, but tomorrow i add back fruits and vegetables, four servings a day. now it sounds like a feast. i got a twelve pack of caffiene-free diet coke, but i think that&apos;s the last time i&apos;m getting any. it&apos;s allowed on the plan, but it just doesn&apos;t feel right. water&apos;s good enough. it seems like a month since i went in, but it was only thursday. and i started everything friday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i can&apos;t wait to see what comes of this.</description>
