I fell asleep while doing my post-chiro icing of the neck and had one crazy, messed up dream.<\/p>\n
I was trying to explain to my dad how I’d been divorced twice yet never married, but I couldn’t remember the name of my second ex-husband. So I went in search of the friend who had written up the paperwork that married me to him.<\/p>\n
During my search, I came upon a group of people sunbathing on an asphalt beach and noticed a woman deliberately sweeping debris into people’s faces, so approached her and started yelling at her in French. My tongue stumbled over one of the words, and she disdainfully asked if I was American. I responded with the oh-so-witty retort (still all in French) that these were all good people and that she was not a good person (pretty representative of the level of my verbal repartee\u00c2\u00a0in French). She physically attacked me, but somehow I managed to bend her hand back until she cried “mercy,” except it sounded like “merci,” so she was essentially thanking me for giving her a beatdown. Then we started laughing uncontrollably and all was forgiven.<\/p>\n
Throughout the entire dream, there was this Ani Difranco mashup playing in the background. What I can remember went like this:<\/p>\n
Some people wear their smile like a disguise<\/em> No no no no – Outta me, onto you<\/em><\/p>\n Don’t treat me like I am something that happened to you<\/em> It actually sounded really good, though I have no idea how, considering it’s a mashup of three different songs. I think the melody might have been completely different from any of the original sources…<\/p>\n * All these lyrics are copyrighted by Ani Difranco and absolutely belong to her. However, I am doubtful that she ever intended for them to be mixed up in this crazy, convoluted way. Sorry, Ani. Please forgive my dreamstate mind.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I fell asleep while doing my post-chiro icing of the neck and had one crazy, messed up dream.

\n So I’m gonna do my best to swan dive<\/em>
\n Into shark-infested waters<\/em>
\n I’m gonna pull out my tampon<\/em>
\n And start splashing around<\/em><\/p>\n
\n Don’t think cause I’m easy, I’m naive<\/em>
\n Don’t think I won’t pull it out<\/em>
\n Don’t think I won’t shoot<\/em>
\n I don’t care if they eat me alive<\/em>
\n Cause I’ve got better things to do then survive*<\/em><\/p>\n
