Right, so I had this weirdass dream last night, and it had Loki (_flame_god_) in it. Loki, I hope you don't mind if I write it out here. I promise, you did nothing rude, untoward or unseemly in it. This is what I get for watching SNL, reading GAFF, and then going straight to bed.

Now, how the hell did it start? I can't quite remember. I'll pick it up with the Chinese prison.

For some reason, I had gotten captured by the Ax Gang from Kung Fu Hustle and I was going to a prison. It was a dark, underground cell, and the prisoners were all eating dinner or something at what looked like a big, wooden picnic table in the cell, sitting along a long bench. They were all eating what looked like dirty water. But I was pretty hungry, so I wanted some of the dirty water. But then just as I got into the cell, one of the inmates started a food fight and everyone started throwing the dirty water around, and I was disappointed that there was none left. The guards told me to sit down in the cell and rot there for the rest of my life. Sulking, I sat down.

Fortunately, there was a television in the corner of this primitive cell, and Saturday Night Live was on. The musical guest (like last night,) was System Of A Down, and I was happy with that for two reasons: one, because I thought they were going to sing the ultra famous (in geek circles, anyway,) Zelda song for which they are often credited, and two, because Loki had told me that he was in that band. When they finally came on, I was scoping them all out and thinking, "None of those guys looks like Loki; they all seem to have dark hair."

Then one of the inmates pased me a wodden bowl, and I was thinking there would be some of that mud-soup in it. Instead, there was a letter. I opened it and saw that it was written in Chinese, but I understood it anyway, although now I don't remember what it said. I just knew it was a letter from one of the singers from System of a Down. Then I realized that I was engaged to the lead singer, and I wasn't too happy with that, because he's not my type. Oddly, though, I decided to just go with it, figuring that, as my fiance, he should come and rescue me.

Right after that, I decided to rescue myself. I would start a prison riot and escape in the melee. I got up to shout something like, "RIOT! RIOT!" but instead, all I could come up with to shout was, "Dissemble no more! Tear up the planks! Here! Here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!" I don't know why I was shouting lines from Poe, but it got the job done, and soon there was a riot. The guards came rushing in and they left the door open, and I slipped out.

I was running down the hall (the floors were all muddy; I don't know why I remember that detail,) and heading towards me, pretty casual-like, was Loki. I said to him, "Hey, fancy this! I was watching System Of A Down and I didn't see you in the band." Loki said, "They censored out all the parts that I was in." (I guess this is because last night, I was surprised that the censors missed one F-bomb in their first number. It was actually kind of funny.) Then, Loki and I walked back into the prison calm as you please, through all the fighting and rioting, to the TV. Loki rewound the SOAD show and played the parts that he was in. Basically, once in a while he would come from back stage, go to the mic, and yell some words. I said to him, "You're the best screamer in the band, no wonder they cut out the sections with you in it." And then we began to leave.

As we were leaving the prison, we ended up in a group of people who, it seemed at first, were doing a kind of stunt show. One person would hold onto what looked like a trapeeze bar, and others would raise it up to about thirty feet in the air. I was watching someone do this, wondering what was going to come next, when I realized that the person holding onto the bar was Bam Margera. (For the record, I had no idea till last night who Johnny Knoxville was, because I live under a rock, apparently. The only reason I know who Bam Margera is, is because a few years ago he came out to Greenport and a bunch of the girls I work with were going nuts trying to get to see him. Casse told me who he was and showed me a picture.) So there's Bam Margera holding onto this bar thirty feet up, and then he let go and fell to the concrete--SPLAT!--very messy. Then he got up and walked away. I began to guess that this was some kind of rite of passage. Next up to grab onto the bar were two boys I went to school with and haven't seen since high school. I haven't even the vaguest idea how they made it into this dream. They went splattering to the ground and then got up and walked away, too. Loki was still walking with me and I said, "let's give this thing a miss and just escape," and we walked on.

Finally we came to a cafe, and my parents were sitting at a table drinking coffee or something. My Dad asked me, "Who's this guy you're escaping with?" It occurred to me that I had no idea what Loki's name was, so I turned and whispered, "Loki, what's your real name?" He said, "If I tell you, the whole internet will hear. All I can say is that in Hawaiian my name would be Noe." ("Noe" is a kind of misty rain, by the way.) I turned to my parents and said, "This is Noe, and we just escaped Chinese prison."

And then I think I woke up, or at least I don't remember anything after that.

Sorry for borrowing you last night, _flame_god_. Hope you don't mind too much. If it helps, you were a much better singer than the guys in System Of A Down. ^_^
