church, target, and dying.

part 1

it's the middle of june and i'm at salkehatchie (church camp similar to habitat for humanity). one group, instead of actually going out and building houses, is left at the church to guard the pews and alter that were moved out of the sanctuary for it's remodeling. i am in said group, so we pretty much just sit around watching movies all day. then, just to get the whole experience, we decided to paint the inside of the pantry with the door closed (for the high feeling you always get after painting at salkehatchie).

when we exit the pantry, there is a dance competition going on in the family life center. there are three contestants and then those three contestants pick whomever they want to be part of their dance crew and then battle it out. these three contestants are: my ex-boyfriend, taylor, corbin bleu, and a guy i used to work with, ian. i don't pay attention to the first two groups, but the last one i do because it's taylor's. as i'm watching, all i can do is laugh. when he asks if they were that bad, i reply, "no, you're just so white."

i turn around and there is a little confession booth behind a bar set up on the far wall. i walk over to it, look inside, see nothing and then come back out from behind the bar. as i do, ashleigh (from the tv show "greek") and a guy dressed as a priest run into the confession booth and start getting hot and heavy.

part two

i'm suddenly at target. but it's not an american target, it's a french target. monica, jared, and ally are there. monica goes to the next aisle to talk to her dad and jared and i go up to make a purchase. as jared buys his apples, i decide not to buy the book i was going to get (the fifth harry potter book, one i already own) because it's too expensive. i go over to the next aisle and the next thing i know, i'm driving a station wagon through trees (like, literally up IN the trees) that look surprisingly similar to the trees in farmville.

part three

ally and i are sitting in her bathroom with the door locked because two guys (the previously mentioned ian and his brother) are killing everyone in the house. they already have 50 people lined up outside and are now looking for us. we decided to flood the bathroom, so they'll think we aren't in there (dream logic, you know). they call it their game and i start to feel very similar to anne frank while she was hiding from the nazis.

then something strange happened. i became aware that i was in a dream. so, knowing i was in the dream, i knew that i could control dream ian to have a change of heart and not kill ally and me. so not taking any of it seriously, i decided to download a song i "wanted played during our hanging." (the song was "it's the end of the world as we know it" by r.e.m.). then, because i knew i was in a dream, i remembered that i had to type all of this out in my new blog. as soon as i started typing, ian and his brother finally busted into the bathroom. still thinking that i could control the situation, i tried to convince ian to allow me to continue downloading and typing. he didn't. it was at this point that i realized i couldn't control the dream anymore. as allyson and i were being walked out to the gallows, we walked past taylor, who was sitting on the couch in ally's living room that i always sleep on when i spend the night. he was laughing. i started yelling at him, "why are you laughing? can't you see we're going to die? they've already put the nooses around our necks!" and he says, "you laughed at my dancing."
