Where we're stuck in the church basement because of radioactivity
I dreamed I was with a group of other people including Katie and a few people I couldn't identify, and we were all in the fellowship hall watching fireballs flying around in the sky. Next thing we knew, the church floor had collapsed and we were lying in the youth room, trapped. "Oh, great," said Katie. "Even if we could get out we couldn't breathe the air for 365 years."
Apparently a nuclear bomb had been dropped on the church and contaminated the air. Some girl said, "Don't you just have to wait ONE year?"
"Nope," said Katie. "It's 365."
But suddenly we were excavated and rescued. I tried not to breathe the air, and so did everyone else. Some guy with gray hair was asking us questions about our experience and I tried to answer him while breathing as little as humanly possible. It quickly became obvious that the air was breathable in the church (we were back in the fellowship hall) but not outside, and that the gray-haired guy was planning to keep us trapped here.
Somebody else and I didn't like that idea, so we tried to sneak toward the exit. Suddenly I opened the door and ran out and flew off into the sunset. When I looked back, there was a little boy standing at the door holding a red oxygen mask. Too late I realized that I had gone off without any means to breathe.

Where I move into Katie's house and it has a weird bathroom
I dreamed we moved in Katie and Tim's old house, except it was HUGE. All these people were staying in our house for the first day we moved in (not sure why), and so Manda and Sarah J. and Kayla and I were all staying in Katie's room, which, quite conveniently, had FOUR showers in it. Except it was situated pretty stupidly. There was just this large curtained-off area in the middle of the room and if you looked in there there were four seperate showers, each able to be curtained off individually, and a bathtub that had lily pads and ducks floating in it.
So we all decided we were going to shower before we went downstairs for supper, except I got lost and ended standing over by this set of plastic-looking white steps that let up into the ceiling. Stefanie was there and I suggested that she and I go exploring.
Next thing I knew, I was in a hallway handing out invitations to my birthday party. So the people I wanted to come to my party, I kept handing them like totally RANDOM invitations that didn't even have their names on it. And then I had one invitation left, addressed to somebody named "Emily", and I had to get rid of it, so I handed it to some random guy and took off.
At some point we were also having a family reunion and Cindy from Spanish and her daughter Elizabeth came over. "We heard you were having a PARTY!" she said and sort of shoved her way into the house. Really weird. Except it WASN'T a family reunion, it was all people from youth group! *chuckle* Bizarre.

Where the youth group makes prank calls
I had this really, really long rambling dream. I'm going to try to recount as much of it as I can. I was in the living room when I look out the window and the church van is pulling into our driveway. It's full of teens. (Well, not full, on later count there were only like 7 people.)
So I go outside and they open the door and tell me that they're going to some coffee place to hang out. So I say, "Okay, hold on, let me go check with my mother." So I go inside but can't find Mom anywhere, and when I turn around, everybody has followed me inside.
Now I can see who's there - it's Amanda, Angela, Canaan, Hannah A., and Katie. Except Angela and Hannah A. are all dressed up in these fancy gowns with LOTS and LOTS of makeup on. I don't see Katie and Manda at that point, but I assume they're dressed up too. "I'll be back in a moment," I say. "I'm going to go change."
They whip out a pair of shorts and hand them to me. "Don't bother," they say. "Just wear these." So I put them on and say, "This is as dressed up as I get." Then I notice Manda's just in shorts and a T-shirt, too, so I don't feel so stupid anymore.
We decide to go upstairs and hang out at the top of my stairs and make prank phone calls to people. (Uh, yeah, this is definitely a youth group appropriate activity...)
So we were doing that upstairs and having lots of fun when suddenly Manda stands up and says, "A few days ago Tyler shot a globe and killed himself." (Okay, note on this - the globe obviously was in my head because I had been listening to the Princess In Pink audiobook, where somebody tries to drop a globe on their head to kill themselves.)
Nobody seems very surprised or even dismayed at this news, they all just nod and then we go back to our prank phone calls.
Later, I'm cleaning out my basement and decide to go out with the youth group again. Mom asks me what I'm doing and I say, "I'm feeling very social today. This may never, ever happen again." So she says okay. So instead of calling people up and inviting them out to do something, I go upstairs and turn on my radio, because I know that I'll hear our prank calls on there. (Hardly hanging out with the youth group, but ah well.) But the radio's playing a prank call that's like horribly obscene (really it wasn't, it was a conversation about Tweety, it just struck me as being obscene) and I sit there thinking, "We didn't do that... did we?"
There was also something where Amanda tells me as we go out to the van (apparently we decided to go somewhere after all) something about her mom being mad at someone or someone being mad at her mom... I wasn't quite sure.

With Steak 'n' Shake, chili milkshakes, and the lady with the pink feather boa
I had one of those long involved dreams where EVERYONE is in it. I remember being in a car with Katie, sitting in the passenger seat. She was driving me and a couple girls somewhere, and the guys were following in a car behind us. Except there really weren't any other girls in the van, but Tim (well he's her brother so I guess that makes sense in sort of a dream way that she has to drive him wherever we're going) and Ethan were both there and complaining about this school parade they were in together. (Although considering one's at SHS and one's at...er, whatever middle school is in Milledgeville, that's rather unlikely that they'd be in a school parade together.) Apparently some gym teacher, a Mr. someone-or-other, was notorious for doing cheesy things at these parades.
The girls (or...er, what was supposed to be the girls' car anyway) arrived at our destination and the guys were there already and very irate, because we didn't wait for them at some place. "You were supposed to wait!" they kept saying. "And we were waiting for you to wait!"
The other bits I remember is us all being in the van on our way home from a missions trip (see, it's that missions trip coming back to haunt me again) and PJ stopped off at a McDonald's for people to go in and eat. I somehow magically transported a strawberry milkshake (ew) from Steak & Shake across the street into the seat next to me. As soon as I got it, however, I realized I didn't really like strawberry and much preferred chocolate. Then PJ and the rest of the peoples showed up and PJ said, "I forgot to mention you guys could go across to Steak & Shake if you wanted!" Then he started up the van and said, "Yeah...I had about 20 of those shakes last night...yum!"
Then we were in the church basement talking and Melanie had a can of 7-Up and she and Bethany were mixing it with her milkshake (sort of like a root beer float I suppose except a 7-Up float) and they were all amazed by how the ice cream settled to the bottom and the 7-Up stayed up at the top. Nich pointed out that he and Jayme usually put chili in between the layers of ice cream and 7-Up, and everyone responded appropriately: "Ew!!!"
Then we were in the church basement but it was really an airplane, and this really goofy-looking lady walks in with like a feather boa and a stupid hat on. She goes up to the front row, removes Andie's baby seat from a chair, and seats herself there and says with this really goofy voice, "I think I'll sit here." Paula apparently got really ticked off about that, and stood up and gave this long speech about how she was "Imammitating" us. In my dream this did have a significance, it was a messed-up prounciation of the word "Imitating" and she really meant more along the lines of "Corrupting." Yes, confusing. But yeah, and she was yelling at the woman for having a top cut too low (but it really WASN'T - it was perfectly acceptable!) and said in disgust, "Look at that! Blood running everywhere!"
Yeah... wow...

Where the youth group goes to see Hello, Dolly!
I had a dream that the youth group was on a missions trip (I keep having those- maybe my subconscious is making up for the fact that I'm not going with the youth on their trip this year) but along the way we were running from something. I remember Jasmine tipping over tables as we ran out of the room so that the people following us wouldn't be able to escape. Katie thought it was great fun. At one point we went out a window.
Then we as a drama group went to see Hello, Dolly! up at Circa '21. As we walked into the theater (coming from the stage doors, I might add) the play had already started and we walked around, trying to find a spare seat. I was the first one in line and kept trying to find a good seat- apparently it was freestyle sitting. I kept changing my mind, however, and kept moving around, and Tim was getting irritated because I wouldn't stay in one place.
