Where I go bowling, do VBS, date a guy who sings "Dancing Through Life" but won't help Dad carry the Christmas ornaments
I had a very, very long, weird dream... I'll recount as much of it as I can.
I was at some sort of youth function, as a student. It was sort of like a missions trip, it was week-long, except it was held at the church. And we'd alternate where we went every day. Half the days we'd stay at the church and do something fun, the other half we'd go out and minister to people. Except for some reason I only ended up doing the fun stuff, and they decided to go bowling. (So much for staying at the church.) We drove out to this deserted road, in a big van, and for some reason Kim C. was following us in her car. We stopped on the deserted road, got out, and talked for while with Kim by the side of the road.
Next thing I know, we're at the bowling place, except it's not bowling anymore, it's laser tag, and Shannon from Green Bay is running it. I remember Stefanie being there and for some reason I was all worried she wouldn't have any fun there.
And then... I'm back at the church, helping with a VBS thing. The kids are having their Bible lesson and I, as apparently the only leader, am sitting on a blanket on the floor in the fellowship hall. The kids are all lined up neatly, reading this little book that was given to them. Suddenly this girl pipes up, apparently reading from the book, "LAMIDO means Hannah. And GLECKL means Crystal." She had found a list of names translated into other languages. So I was like, "Crystal - I take it your name's Crystal?" She nodded. "Why don't you not read until snack time?" Then I notice the snack coordinators laying out the napkins and cookies and stuff. "Which, I guess, is in like 30 seconds. So you can go eat." And the kids all jump up and go eat.
I'm still sitting there on my blanket when some guy walks up to me (I can't see who it is), sits down next to me and says, "Would you like to hear the story of my life?" and belts into song about how he went to college but he doesn't believe it in anymore... (Heh, I'm thinking along the lines of "Dancing Through Life" *grin*)
Apparently he really charmed me with this weird song, because in the next scene, it's Christmas and this guy and I are dating (as IF). I bring him over to my house to meet my parents, who are setting up a Christmas tree outside. (Hmm.) Dad's bringing down a huge box of ornaments from the attic, but my very rude bf just stands there, not helping Dad, who is dragging the box down the stairs and singing very loudly. My bf starts tapping his feet in time to the music, although the whole time he's got this blank stare on his face. Apparently he gets the idea that it might be good to help Dad with the box, and picks the other end up, still marching his feet in time to the music. Dad looks at him and proclaims, "You're supposed to RANT! And RAVE!"
Then there's this sequence with two other bfs doing this, my bringing them home to meet my parents and the tree decorating and the guys behaving very rudely... heh... I guess apparently I boot 'em out after that, because it's always a new guy.
Now if THAT dream has a meaning, I'm not sure I want to know what it is...
