"Strange Sense of Happiness"    07/17/04
J and I were at a beautiful restaurant together.  I hadn't spoken to him in the longest time and we both were a little nervous to be meeting again.  However, we had such a good time.  We talked and even smiled and laughed some.  I never thought it would have been possible to enjoy spending time with him so much.  I didn't think we would be friends after that, but I had a strange feeling of happiness within me that made me feel that all would turn out well, even if we never spoke again.

"Learning the Meaning of Life and Other Secrets"    07/17/04
Edward and I were standing together when he leaned over and began talking to me in the voice that he uses only when he's talking to women.  His southern accent became more noticeable and he was talking so softly that it was almost as if he was whispering.  I remember listening to him intently because the things he was telling me were so important and so profound.  I wondered why he was talking so softly, but I realized he was telling me a secret that was so sacred that no one ever really talks about it.  I think he told me about the meaning of life and some other secrets, but afterward I couldn't remember exactly what he'd said except that at the end he assured me that everything was going to be ok.  I left feeling relaxed and hopeful that I would be able to make use of the things he'd told me, despite the fact that I couldn't remember the exact details.

"Preparing Fluff to Sit on a Jury"    07/11/04
I was in the living room of my apartment when Fluff, my brother's cat who died about 6 months ago, walked in.  I was so happy to see him.  I realized that he had come back to us for an important reason, and that reason was to be a member of a jury on an important trial.  I took the security blanket I used to sleep with as a child and folded it on the ground for Fluff to lie on.  He curled up on it and seemed very happy.  My brother walked into the room and seemed to think my actions were strange.  I explained what was going on, but he only rolled his eyes and left.


"Sleeping Where Edward Works"    07/07/04
I woke up and realized that I had been sleeping on the couch in Edward's office.  I felt panicked because I had no idea what time it was or how long or why I had been sleeping there.  I got up and attempted to compose myself when I noticed a woman with a nearby office was standing in the doorway and watching me.  She smiled and questioned me about why I had been there.  I really didn't know the answer myself, so I think I made up some excuse.


"Moving into Jay-Z's Neighborhood"    07/04/04
Louis and I had been shopping to buy items for a house I had just bought, but when we came back to my neighborhood someone up the street was having what looked like a barbeque.  Louis and I walked over to say hi when I realized that this wasn't just any person having a barbeque, it was Jay-Z.  He and Louis began chatting and seemed very friendly.  Then I asked where Beyoncé was.  Jay-Z glanced at me as if he were annoyed and then ignored me to keep talking with Louis.  I couldn't believe that Jay-Z was going to be friendlier with someone who didn't even live in the neighborhood.  Then I realized that Louis would probably move into the neighborhood, just so he could say that he lived in the same neighborhood with Jay-Z.  I knew that Louis probably couldn't afford to live in this neighborhood, even though it was a less expensive neighborhood than you'd expect for Jay-Z.  Nevertheless, I knew that Louis would find a way to move in, and that annoyed me.
