With the Chinese food vending machine and the skit about the ring
I remember being in the back yard, except it was overgrown with... um... ferns? And drama team people were there and... yeah, don't remember much about that part.
Then we were in the drama room, except Dianna kept leaving because she was trying to get some Chinese food for her invalid father. We had a Chinese food vending machine (?!?) in the room with the pop machine, but it was all out of bottles of soy sauce. So Dianna came back and asked if Jayme knew where any were, but none of us knew.
There was also a part where Chloe and Hannah were practicing a skit for drama that apparently Jayme had written, but it wasn't very good... it involved a ring, I remember that... and it was performed with Chloe and Hannah sitting on a bench.

Where I meet Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp
I dreamed I was doing mom's group and there were like 35 kids. Manda was there but she wasn't really helping out. We were all out at this park and this one kid named Isaac who was like all hyper. Then suddenly Orlando Bloom showed up (it's TBG!). Manda went over to ask for his autograph but he just gave her this look and said, "Excuse me!!? You expect ME to write on a piece of PAPER?!" So then she left him alone.
Then TBG and I got into this big discussion... he asked me if all the kids were mine (LOL... hmm...) and I said no, I was baby-sitting. And he said, "Wow, I'm impressed." And Isaac kept running over the fence and I had to keep calling him back.
At some point, TBG was also in a rehearsal for POTC and Johnny Depp was there as well, all Jack Sparrow'ed out. I was much more interested in getting HIS autograph, so I wandered over to him but he hid behind some movie seats.

Where Libby's mom gives me a theater quiz
I dreamed we went to visit Libby and Stephen. Hannah A. was with us as well. And EVERYONE was a phan. Libby's mom brought out this paper that said "MUSICAL THEATER" at the top and then had in big letters, "Who shot Abraham Lincoln?" so I said, "Er... John Wilkes Booth?" and she said, "Wrong! Firmin!" and brought out this Phantom of the Opera figurine that was Firmin and someone who looked like Christine so I said, "Oh, Firmin and Christine!" and Hannah said, "Actually, it's Firmin and Mme. Giry."
And then I thought about it and said, "Wait! The paper says 'MUSICAL THEATER' at the top, so... shouldn't any answer found in musical theater apply? And John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln in Assassins!" She conceded I was right and then gave me the figurine.
Then it turned out Hannah was going to Rockford to see the POTO movie. I asked if she would take me with her, but she said, "Well, actually, I was hoping to spend some quality time with my mom on the trip up there." I was way ticked 'cause everyone was getting to see it but me.

Where B'qi sneaks out here to visit Tyler
I dreamed B'qi had snuck down to Illinois to visit Tyler. (?) Except she only ever referred to him as "actor."

Where Libby pretends Josiah's name is Raoul
I dreamed that Libby announced again on her blog that she was engaged, so I commented on her blog and said "Congratulations to you and Josiah!" But a few hours later I got an IM from her that said:
Libby: um, Hannah....
Libby: my young man's name is RAOUL
Which befuddled me and I was thinking, "is it really?"
Me: Then who the heck is Josiah?!
Libby: I don't know.
Then I dressed up as her sister Vicky and apparently it was effective, because Libby shared with me about how she had tricked me into thinking her fiancee's name was Raoul.

Where Mom doesn't like the song making fun of President Alan
I dreamed I was listening to this song but Mom said she hated the lyrics. So I asked her why, and she said, "Well, you may not get this, but there's a part in there where they make fun of a former president named Alan who used to go around speaking at middle schools. But people started a rumor that when he spoke at the middle schools all he said was, 'Thank you. Ihaveahippopotamus" (in a British accent) "and people would go, 'What? What?'"

Where we go to ComedySportz and I put on pants
I dreamed that the youth group was going back up to see the ComedySportz people again. On the way up, I was in the church bus, but the benches were placed like... RANDOMLY. None of them lined up or anything, which bugged me a lot. Anyway, I was sitting in one seat and Christie was across from me and suddenly I started like swaying all over the place, and my seatbelt kept giving me more and more room until I realized that one side of the seatbelt wasn't attached to the seat anymore and I was like... floating around the room. So I started looking around to find a place to sit, but all the seats were taken or suddenly disappeared, except for this one seat was backwards. So I sat in that.
We arrived at the ComedySportz place and parked somewhere, at which point Christie said I needed to put these pants on. ("Well, I guess I'll just... put these pants on... oh, man! It's the Thnikkaman!" anyways...) So I put them on but I was wearing a skirt underneath and MAN did that look stupid. LOL. So I go outside and realize this looks really stupid, and on top of that we have to walk through this.... MOAT or something that separates us from the building. So, yeah, we wade through this waist-deep water and finally get there. I make a comment about how stupid the pants-over-the-skirt looks so I take the pants off and TA-DA! my skirt is DRY because the PANTS got wet instead! Looks like Christie's idea wasn't so bad after all...
So we go on into the building except for some reason people keep looking for the kitchen so they can get cookies or something. I go in and sit down at one of the tables. Suddenly my dad and Canaan show up and they're both eating these pieces of paper that I had with me. I remember being ticked that they were devouring my to-do lists.
Then the improv people came out and man, were they boring. They all had fake names, too. Like one of the girls was named "Sunset Boilavahd" (LOL, that's how they pronounced it anyway). And the ref was really boring. His name was Stan King and he was like, "Erm.... uh... yeah... let's, uh... I guess you should meet 'em, huh? Um... okay..." I remember thinking, "This is really sad."

Where I go to Gabon but Sarah is in my Spanish class with a new baby sister
I dreamed that me, my mom, and Bethany, decided to drop into Gabon unexpectedly to give Sarah L. a surprise visit. We walked into their house and it was like... a three-room house. They had a kitchen, a living room, and a bedroom. The interior was really dark, and there was a couch up against the wall. The sun was shining in my eyes and all I could see were silhouettes ("and all you hear are castanets..." but not in the dream) except then I saw this old guy and blond girl sitting on the couch. Mrs. L. called from the kitchen to say she'd be in a minute, she was doing the dishes. I kept looking for Sarah, but I didn't see her, so I went over to introduce myself to the blond girl. (It wasn't Naomi, though, this girl was like 18 or so.)
"Hannah M.," I said.
"Victoria," she responded.
"How old are you?"
And she gave some long weird explanation about how I think she was almost 18, but she didn't just say "I'm almost 18," she spent like ten minutes explaining it.
And then the old guy jumps in. "My wife and me saw Vicky sitting on a bench in this train station and we couldn't just let her SIT there, so we adopted her." (Note, I'm nearly sure this came from my watching Importance of Being Earnest last night, where one of the heroes was found as a baby in a handbag in Victoria Station.)
Then next thing I know, I've tracked Sarah down. She's at school, in Spanish class (erm... well in MY school and MY Spanish class actually), and she's being exceptionally loud and disruptive. She can't remember a word, so she just goes, "Algo, algo, algo, algo, algo!" (Translation: "Something, something, something, something, something!")
And then she said something about "el primer ano" (the first year) and one of the guys she was with pipes up, "Is it true that if you say 'primer' real fast, it means bodily fluids?" (?!?) and Sarah starts cracking up laughing and goes, "I pulled a pabritzo from my nose this morning!" and everyone cracks up more and I'm totally confused.
Then we're all sitting down in the class, except Naomi is there too (with long brown hair, I might add) and Sarah's baby baby sister (who doesn't exist in RL) is lying on the table. This baby is like... probably four or five months old. She's just lying there, not moving around or anything, just looking around.
Then, out of the blue, she turns to me and says, "Hi." So I respond with "Hi." From then on the exchange goes like this: "Hi." "Hi." "Hi hi." "Hi hi." "Hi hi hi hi hi." "Hi hi hi hi hi." "Hi." "Hi." "Brothersisterllamachicken." At which time it occurs to me this baby is awfully young to be able to speak like that. So I ask Sarah how old she is. The baby answers (and she is now wearing glasses, too) with, "I'm TWO!"
Erm. Yes. Then I woke up.
"Hannah M.," I said.
"Victoria," she responded.
"How old are you?"
