I had two vivid dreams last night. In the first I was in a scenario half way between the Lord of the Rings and some Anne McAffrey book, featuring aerial combat on fire-breathing dragons. We were trying to hold a pass in the Misty Mountains against the Ringwraiths. My dragon was killed and I fell to the ground, but I was helped to escape by some dwarves.

In the second dream, fauxpas had installed a trojan on my computer that enabled her to read all my files and spy on my Internet chat (something I never indulge in, BTW). It's funny how you can accept totally weird things like riding dragons in a dream, but normal incongruities wake you up out of it - in this case it was thinking "Hang on, she couldn't manage to get a trojan onto my computer, she uses Windows!"

I had a dream with you in it the other night, and Anna and some other LJ people. We all met up somewhere and after a while I was like, "Hey, that's Robin! What is he doing here?" since you don't exactly live within driving distance. You were with your wife. I kept wondering, "How the heck did he get here?" You said a couple of wry things that I can't remember and you were extremely serious and didn't smile once and then you and your wife got up and left in a hurry.

ooh i wanna see that movie. For some reason when I say the words "lord of the rings" , the high school kids here are like "oh my gosh don't say that!" aaah? scary movie?

Scary??? Don't Look Now is scary. Angelheart is moderately scary. Boy's Don't Cry is horribly, gut-wrenchingly scary and makes you want to cry as well. But The Lord of the Rings? Maybe the scary part is being labelled as a nerd for liking it. High school kids are scary - so many hormones, so few neurones.

Are you really in high school? You sound older.
