I have a dream...

that one day...

not really.

nothing as grand or world-changing as that. But a dream nonetheless, though it's never easy to describe one.

but f**k  it, I'll try anyway: I was at a camp for redheads. I remember walking through one of the daily gatherings and it was redheads everywhere and it was awesome.

then there was this girl who was supposed to be helping me with my attitude. It wasn't pre-arranged she was just being helpful. But I didn't really want to be helped so I kept telling her to just tell me how to do it.

What did help was that I ate a whole bagful of mushrooms. And so later when this guy who was laughing at me because I left my pudding pie on top of his camper to cool until morning but then realized he was leaving for the weekend and wouldn't be there in the morning so I asked him to hand me my pie and he laughed at me and then I said "hey! have some decency! what are you laughing at" and his face transformed from the jackal-like mask to a warm smiling face. 

and it worked, the attitude-adjustment, because I liked people and was truly curious about them and bothered to expect more from them and they (he) came through. 

There was another part about me and these other two guys making a fire or bombs or something else mostly troubular but that was earlier so I've forgotten that part mostly.  

and another part about there being no drainage in the kitchen for some reason and the water being inches deep and the edge of my wool carpet soaking in it and me getting uptight about that.

and that's it.

you're welcome for sharing (this absolutely useless story).
