Misfits dreams
It is the weirdest thing. Out of all the fandoms I've ever had, there is one that I have regular dreams about. (Like you know, the dreams you have at night with your eyes shut). The Misfits, from the Jem fandom. I dream about them even when I am not that fannish about them. Brief history: I was fannish about the Misfits during the 80's when the show was on, then I basically moved onto other fandoms for a long time, then I got back into them a few years ago when the DVDs came out. I'm again no longer super-hot into this fandom (nothing against the Misfits, mostly again just because other fandoms -- Firefly and X-men -- just kind of took their spot). But I have regular and vivid dreams about the Misfits. Say, I'll have one dream about them every other month. A lot of the Misfits dreams have a femslashy component to them. Some dreams tie up loose plot ends. I had one where Jetta was crying and apologizing for lying about her background. I had one where new episodes of the show were about to start and I woke up excited and happy. I had one where the Misfits were these fantasy-like, fairyish, LOTR sort of creatures. Last night I had yet another Misfits dream - this one being femslashy again.
Like most of my "past" fandoms, I will always feel a soft spot for the Misfits; but I don't get why I regularly dream about them and rarely about any other fandom.
Hotel
Still love the hotel I'm living in. I think I am realizing that I would vastly, vastly prefer a condo to a free standing house. I like something about walking into a building and going to my own residence within that building. I like not having to worry about building maintenance. I like having my own private space within a larger, shared space. As long as the other residents are not loud and obnoxious, this is how I want to live.
Which means I have a problem. In 2 weeks Doris and I are closing on a house. Actually, it's not a problem. I am thrilled that we'll be finally living together and it's a great house. It's just that I've come to this realization of what I'd find ideal (a condo)....but I'm ok too with not living my ideal. The house will be fine even if it's not my ideal. And who knows? Maybe later on we can still do the condo thing, a few decades down the road.
Walking update
I walked to work Wednesday and Thursday. I messed up today. I didn't walk today because it was thunderstorming when I woke up. But, er, not when I left the hotel. Nor was it when I left work. It was cold though that's no excuse not to walk either.
Green jobs
I got my hands on a book on green jobs. Most require a background in science, engineering, or fundraising. I wasn't expecting the book to change my life but was hoping it would spark an idea or two, help me find a pathway or two I might be able to go down. It didn't.
