As many of you know, every week, I work an awake-overnight shift Thursday night-Friday morning. I love my job, and this shift is exceptionally easy, basically consisting of staying awake overnight while the client sleeps, in case he needs something.
The problem I have with this shift isn't the fact that I'm awake all night, or the impact it has on my biological clock and sleep rythms. It's not even the three-mile-on-foot-plus-time-on-the-bus round trip between my house and the client's, though that can get tiring after being awake all night.
It's the fact that, every time I've worked this shift since accepting it as a permanent assignment, it's rained the entire time I've been walking, both ways.
Santa Cruz has beautiful weather, except when I'm taking my longest and most exhausted walks of the week.

I just woke up, and realized that there's something worse than the rain.
The dreams that come from staying up all night.
You see, last night, I dreamed that Robert and John A. came to Santa Cruz, and they were gay, and they had mind-control powers. Except that, instead of the turn-you-gay mind-control powers I spent my childhood being told homosexuals have, they had turn-Santa-Cruz-into-Slidell mind-control powers.
I woke up on the verge of a scream when, in my dream, I was walking past Logos (one of the coolest bookstores I've ever seen, though I wouldn't think so if Santa Cruz didn't also have a Borders with a perfectly respectable manga section - screw that, a huge manga section - and another bookstore focused in having every English-orginal-language book that people have actually heard of. Logos is focused on having all the ones people haven't heard of), and they were turning it into a Wal-Mart.
A SMALL Wal-Mart.
And don't even get me started on the beach... gay-dream-John thought that the only proper use of a beach was as a place to put casinos.
I'm losing my mind.

 Well, I have pretty weird dreams too, sometimes so sick and violent that I wonder if I'm even sane.  |

; Weird. I had a dream a couple nights ago about me and one of my friends. We both went to a mall and held the place up. We don't even think about stealing. But here we were, holding up a mall. Then, after that, we went on a Blues Brothers-esque car chase that ended with us in the Bahamas or something getting rich off of interest. |

I don't think Slidell is that bad. I mean we only have big Wal-marts. And also... You can't blame Slidell for changin' a little after being hit by a hurricane. I mean, come on. .... .....
Oh and I think it would be funny if Robert and John were gay. ^_^

The world needs Slidell, and the world needs Santa Cruz. To turn Santa Cruz into Slidell would be as bad a thing as turning Slidell into Santa Cruz.
Robert and John being gay wouldn't be a bad thing unless the technology required for the mixing of genetics between people of the same gender was perfected. Can you imagine their progeny?

O.o Well I wouldn't mind if they were gay, but... I think I would mind if they were gay and... together. Ew. o.O...
