A Strange Dream

Exam count: 2/3. One more to go... Tomorrow. And it's the worst of all. Math. Bleh.

But anywho, on to more sunshine-y thoughts. Figuratively. It's raining heavily here.

Well! Weddings. Yes. I love weddings. Did I tell you I had a dream a couple nights ago where I got married? The dream took place during the reception, and can I say it was tacky? I hope my wedding is not actually like that! It took place in this big hall, but there weren't very many decorations, and it was very run-down. They also had a stage (like a highschool drama stage) that was really old. In my dream, my husband put on a play for me... I think it was about how we met or something? Supposedly? Though I never saw the whole thing because in the dream they were still rehearsing and they didn't want me to see, and I woke up before they actually performed anything. And in the first few minutes of the play, I was supposedly being played by my cousin-in-law from the October Wedding. She was wearing this bright blue almost Western dress that was very short and had lots of layers in the skirt. Can I say strange?! VERY, very strange.

Oh, and did I tell you that my husband changed names like 3 times? (I hope that's not an omen of something haha! Because that's just horrible.) Well I remember the first two names: Morse and Martin. These were the last names, by the way. I didn't ever hear the first name. It was because there was this sign that said Morse wedding, which proceeded to change to Martin wedding in the course of the wedding. And then when I actually saw my husband, he wasn't any of those people- somehow I just knew. It was almost as if I was trying to guess who my husband was, and I didn't know who I was actually marrying. S-T-R-A-N-G-E!

But my dress was gorgeous in the dream. It was a little bit creamy in colour, but not too much, strapless, and the top was made of sort of satin-y fabric. The skirt part started at around my hip and it was made of chiffon, lots of layers. It was very flowy and I think there were a few embellishments on the dress, scattered randomly. It was a beautiful dress, and not really at all what I'll have been thinking about recently (empire waist etc). Though, it did have the chiffon, which I love.

But yeah, can you say weird?

Les Mis

Well, I have an exam in a few hours, but I'm at that point where I just can't study anymore, so I decided to blog a bit.

For some reason, I've been thinking about the musical Les Misérables recently. I saw the production a while back... Oh, it must be a year ago now, and it was just one of those amazing (!!!) stories that you can't help thinking about even well after it's over. Well, recently I've just had this one part of a song stuck in my head. If you know the musical at all, it's the part where Marius comes to the café after seeing Cosette to meet with other revolutionaries. They're all gung-ho about starting a revolution and Marius is just in that lovey-dovey state. It's quite a powerful scene, I think. Anyways, part of the lyrics go like this:

Had you been there tonight
You might know how it feels
To be struck to the bone
In a moment of breathless delight!
Had you been there tonight
You might also have known
How your world can be changed
With just one burst of light!
And what was right seems wrong
And what was wrong seems right.

And then Marius does his own take of the chorus. Because the chorus this far has been: "Red, the blood of angry men / Black, the dark of ages past / Red, a world about to dawn / Black, the night that ends at last!" Well, Marius's version goes like this: "Red, I feel my soul on fire / Black, my world if she's not there / Red, the colour of desire / Black, the colour of despair!" It's such a powerful part, one of my favourites in the entire musical. It just describes love so well, I think!

Sigh. Now if only musicals were reality, lol.

Singin' the Single Jingle

Well I'm on the bus again, so I decided to blog a bit.
Though I'm not sure what exactly I should blog about...
Well, I guess I could say that I'm feeling a little blue because here I am, still singing the Single Jingle. Woohoo. But what can you do? And I know there are definite advantages to bring single. But it's just that... I don't know. It sucks, sometimes, too, I guess... You know?

Say NO to that Dress!!!

So I have a crazy busy day ahead of me, but I'm on the bus right now, on the way to school, so I figured I'd blog for a bit....

Well. I actually don't know what I feel like blogging about... Oh, I know. I was watching "Say Yes to the Dress" yesterday - man, I love that show! (No surprise there, though! Haha.) It was the first time I'd seen it in a long time, actually, because it's usually on Fridays and I'm at my church on Fridays. But it was Wednesday and they had two episodes playing! Lucky me! Haha. But ANYWAYS, yeah, I was watching it and I was thinking to myself just how crazy it is how much people are willing to spend on a dress! I mean, I know Kleinfeld's is expensive, but whoa! Like, there was a woman there who had a budget of $5000, which, to me, is a LOT already. But then she fell in love with this dress that was $11000 and change. She ended up getting a "discount" and paying $9900!!! Is that CRAZY, or what? I cannot imagine paying 10 grand on a dress I'm only wearing for a few hours for one day!! I mean, that was the price of that hold club resort I was looking at. (Or s year's tuition and board at a local Bible school!) I cannot fathom spending that much for one day. Yes, I want my day to look special, but I am not going to spend that much money when I could instead use that money to make a downpayment on a house... Or feed a million African children or something! Seriously!

But anyways. That was my tangent. I really do love that show, though! Haha.

More later!

Miss Marian.
