I just woke up a few minutes ago at 2:30 from the most incredible dream. I was in my dream house and this was not like anything I've ever experienced there before. If you do not know anything about dream houses, they are a house you return to many times in your dreams that represent your life.

I know the layout of my dream house very well. And this time I went into the north wing which in the past has been empty except for a few pieces of furnature. I used to go there to escape from things I couldn't deal with. Tonight I went there to get away from my ex who was living in the master suit near the garden atrium and the kitchen. The strangness started out with the stairway to the north wing being clogged with clothing hanging on hooks.

I got into the north wing and it showed signs that there were people living there. Then I started running into live people. One of them took me around, and she showed me that there were maybe 200 people living in this part of my dream house. As we went around I found that they were all connected to me, that I liked them, and that my dream house badly needed repair in certain parts. Some places the ceilings and roof were collapsing, and still people lived there. In the end I put together a budget to spend $3.2 million fixing up my dream house for them.

This dream is in contrast to one a few days ago where I escaped to the river tower sucessfully to be alone. I understand now that I am not alone, and I love you all.

I guess I'll go crawl into a hole and pull it in after me.

"It is estimated that each suicide victim leaves behind an average of six close survivors who may be left confused, guilt-ridden, and traumatized by the suicidal act." (Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology by Ronald J. Comer, p. 223)

I have six reasons to go on living: Jennan, Rowen, Ian, Shelley, Wendy, Ellie.

I don't want to be famous anymore. I've had enough fame for a lifetime. I just want to be the girl next door.

Well, ya. I've been around the block enough times in 56 years to have tried a few things.

While I was looking for how many pounds of lipstick the average person eats in their lifetime (5 pounds), I found this:

The Onion: Diebold Accidentally Leaks 2008 Election Results Early

"It's going to take awhile, but it's a necessary part of the development of a free society," Bush said at a White House news conference with visiting Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
(Bush sees Iraq violence as defining)

Bush has mastered Newspeak as clearly show by his use of the word free.

"The word free still existed in Newspeak, but could only be used in such statements as 'The dog is free from lice' or 'This field is free from weeds.' It could not be used in its old sense of 'politically free' or 'intellectually free,' since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless."
(Excerpt from "The Principles of Newspeak")

He obviously means "the development of a society that is free from America's enemies."

Through the day I watched the headline change from

Detroit's Democrat mayor indicted in sex scandal

to

Detroit's Democratic mayor indicted in sex scandal

to

Detroit's mayor indicted in sex scandal

Took awhile to get the partisanship out of the news. Must have had something to do with Republicans pouncing on any sex scandal that didn't involve one of their own.

"Senator Obama has said often that words matter. I strongly agree. But giving speeches alone won't end the war and making campaign promises you might not keep certainly won't end it," [Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary] Clinton said.

Clinton attacks Obama and McCain on Iraq

Bill Foster (D), a nuclear particle physicist who had never run for public office before defeated Jim Oberweis (R) for the seat of retiring congressman and former House Speaker, Dennis Hastert in IL-14, which has a PVI of R+5 and has sent a Republican to Congress for 11 straight terms. Hastert got 60% of the vote in this suburban Chicago district in 2006 and Bush got 55% in 2004. Foster got 53% of the vote yesterday to Oberweis' 47%. Foster will take office Monday but the two will face off in the general election in November. If Obama is on the national ticket, Oberweis will have virtually no chance. As a sitting congressman, Foster becomes a superdelegate and gets to vote at the DNC. He hasn't announced his choice yet, but the smart money is betting he will support Obama. Even a 1-day politician understands that when a guy helps you get elected, you owe him one.

This is a huge defeat for the GOP in a very high profile race that both parties poured over 1 million dollars into and is a very bad omen for the Republicans in the Fall. If they can't even hold a seat they have held for 20+ years in a strongly Republican district against a newbie who knows nothing about politics, what's going to happen in swing districts with stronger candidates? How are they going to beat the large class of Democratic freshmen under these conditions? To make it worse, many people will see this as a proxy for an Obama-McCain race as the Illinois senator made a TV ad for Foster and Sen. McCain campaigned for Oberweis.
