Went to donate blood at the all-girls school today and I got turned down because I've had Hep shots less than 8 weeks ago. This sucks. Now all three of those guys my pint of blood would save are going to die! First time doing it so I was a little scared because I was afraid I could faint afterwards. It's very difficult to keep your composure when you're unconscious. Hedieh had donated, too. She went back to say hi. She said she almost fainted and I would believe that because she was very pale when I saw her. Me and some other guy were the only guys from the all-boy school that I saw. This is probably due to the fact that it wasn't really announced and the only way I heard about it was from when Hedieh announced it in front of the whole jazz band. We had a competition last weekend. We played well enough. Our bass player had a concussion, so Hedieh and our other piano player had to take over. I had a good solo built up that I would've played if I had been more careful and if my damn Barri would have been listening to me that day! I didn't play a good solo, but at least I was covered up by the rest of the band playing way too loud. Saw Watchmen that day, too. I did not like it as much as I thought I would. Don't know why. Speaking of things and people I saw, I saw Valerie on Sunday. Just a glance, nothing else. Am I ever going to talk to that girl again? I had a dream the other night. A DREAM. I never have dreams anymore, all I ever have are nightmares where I die and glimpses of nonsensical dreams that are never important enough for my sub-conscious to remember, which is why I think this dream is an important one. My dream I think started out with a bunch of people just hanging around having fun. People were happy. I also saw some Raccoon Dogs that were being pet by people. I looked up what they could symbolize and it turns out that in Japan they mean good luck, mostly financially, though. I also read that they are strictly monogamous. Anyway, I pet one and it bit softly the way dogs sometimes do, but it feels good anyway. Then I don't know what happened, and I was with Hedieh. We started dancing slowly in this huge hall. Everything was in a blue light. I looked at her and her eyes were half-opened and her lips were parted. She then asked me in a soft voice something like "Aren't you happy?" Then we kissed and the kiss felt real. Very real. I can still remember how it felt. I guess the answer to her question would be yes. Any interpretations? I think it's obvious, but what else could there be?
