Where I take a writing class
I dreamed I signed up for a creative writing class at the college. Class was always held in the computer lab for some reason (and not even the little closed-off ones, the big one) and for the first two days our teacher was a girl but on the third day it was a guy. (Erm... we switched teachers. She didn't turn into a guy.) I got a C on my first writing assignment for some tiny reason but I wasn't even that upset.
Then she assigned us a poem to write about a random thing in our life so I started off writing about a flower but at the end had a bunch of weird rambly things that made no sense, like, "It's fast time in timeland" and such. She asked me to read it to the class, so I did, except my dad was there too, and I felt really, really stupid, because it was a stupid poem. When I finished my dad was giving me this look like "What was that?" and so I said, "Well, erm, I don't even know what that means at the end, I was just kinda....." and my instructor goes, "That. Was. Incredible."
Then on day #3, my dad wanders into the lab again with his laptop, this time, and sits against a wall waiting for my class to be let out. Our instructor (a guy now) says, "Uh, for tomorrow, uh, write something about your family. OKAY! Now let's talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar, the super robot mutant. Isn't it so unfair that she doesn't get the same treatment we do?"
He lectures for like twenty minutes on this, and my dad flips open his laptop and starts watching Strong Bad Emails. My instructor turns to him and goes, "Mario. Rebuke." (Which means he thought he was playing Super Mario on his computer.) Dad goes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I HAD to play this." To which my instructor responds, "No, I mean the bag," and points to this GIANT bucket sitting by the door. Dad says it's not his bag and I say it's not mine, and the instructor starts yelling, "Well whose bag is it? You can't just bring a bag into class and DUMP it there!"

Where I buy the huge bike, Strong Bad tries to kill someone, and Uncle Andy's girlfriend makes me drink an orange milkshake
I dreamed I bought this huge bicycle. It only had two wheels but it was about three carlengths long and could go about 50 mph if I pedaled normally.
Then there was this evil dude who wore a big mask who kept taking on the form of this woman's husband and trying to like kill her or something, but she kept figuring it out and sending him away. At one point she saw her husband walking up the walk with the mask in his hand and she started screaming, "I WON'T let you in! I won't, I won't!" and he goes, "But look! I have the mask!" and she goes, "How do I know it's you?!" and he goes, "BUT I HAVE THE MASK!" so she opened the door and kicked him and he turned into Strong Bad.
There was also a part where I was staying at some unknown uncle's house and his girlfriend brought several cans of soda out of the fridge. I thought she was offering some to me, so I said I wanted an orange. She gave me this weird look and showed me what I thought was an orange soda, but was really an orange milkshake (ew!) and I felt all stupid and apologized for it.

Where Strong Bad and Stinko-Man sing Rent songs
I had this long dream but I can only remember it when I remember it backwards. Hmm. So I'm going to attempt to write it forwards.
I remember this part where we were in a Western setting and there were these two guys trying to get past a train, so one of them lay down on the tracks and just let the train go over him (except he didn't get crushed, the wheels just sort of...went past him) and the other guy went climbing over hills and stuff to get there. *blink* Weird.
Then I remember we were trying to find this pet of ours that had been kidnapped, so we went to this evil guy's house and he was asleep, lying under a sheet next to the pet. We pulled the sheet off, grabbed the pet, and ran. Next thing I know, StrongBad and Stinko-Man (as in anime StrongBad) were singing "What You Own" from Rent, with StrongBad playing Roger and Stinko-Man playing Mark. 'Cept I guess Stinko-Man couldn't sing cuz he was lip-synching to Anthony Rapp's voice from the OBC. Really odd.
