I was skiing. There was a really long downhill, and I was getting going all fast and even getting around sort of narrow curves without wiping out or hitting little kids (there were some standing around) or the pipes that stuck out of the ground (they were there as obstacles, but they seemed kind of unnecessarily dangerous). I had some time limit for returning the skis and if I wentover they'd start billing for another session, but I had to get back to the top of the hill. The friend who I had come with (I forget who it was. Might've been my mom, or YC, or someone else) was driving that way and was going to pick me up, so continued down the hill and was waiting for them at a bus stop shelter-like structure at the bottom of the hill between the ski path and the road. I think there were maps in it. I was worried that she wasn't going to pick me up in time and I'd have to pay extra anyway. And maybe we decided I wasn't getting picked up after all, because then I started walking along the road. I came to a place I had been before where there were a couple of parking lots, and as I remembered it neither of them led up to the top of the ski hill (we had discovered this on the way up).

I was at work and bouncing an excercise ball around. Some lady was coming, and Adam told me that she was here to complain about 'the people downstairs', that he was scared of her, and said I should talk to her, implying that she was here to see me. So I went over and her clipboard said "Right Wing Association", and after talking to her for a minute it became apparent that she wanted to talk to Adam about his daughter (who is about my age) having imbellished some things on her resume with different names to make it seem longer. She ended up finding him at a desk parked across the hall from my office door (where in real life there is a row of filing cabinets).

Then I traversed some caves in a video game. The game looked kind of like the Ultima 1 dungeons, and battles were turn-based. The cave system reminded me of the maze in the southwest in Zelda II.

I ended up sitting at some ceremony in a gym with Fizz and Amy Lowitz. I was talking about this Avatar game I'd been playing, and how the demo was much more fun than the full version, because in the demo you fought some third group of humans who were being jerks, but in the full version you had to eradicate the natives. Also the demo was cool becuse you started out in this town, had to explore outside for just a bit to find the entrance to their base, which was a series of underground rooms (sort of like the cave system I'd gotten through, earlier). Most of the demo was spent progressing through the cave and getting back out after you'd accomplished whatever it was that had to be done down there.

Some girl that I had gone out with once and liked a lot walked with a group of other people up to the stage, and I said something about her. Then Amy (who seemed to be sitting on my lap at this point) started telling me that her goal was to end up with a guy who was 'as young as possible' and that she liked lots of metal. "Like the Frankensteain monster with the screws in his neck?" I asked. She hesitated for a moment and then nodded. I noted that she herself had some shiny thing in her lower lip and one in her nose. And then she talked about how she was too nervous to approach anyone except 'in the caves.' I imagined random strangers running into each other in dark corners of the oddly-shaped rooms of the tunnels and making out.

Then Fizz started talking about some orange urinal and how it'd been upgraded, and I didn't know what he was talking about, but at the same time an orange urinal showed up on my picture-flipping screen saver.

Then it started showing school busses. The doors on the backs made faces, and Fizz made a sound that would be made by the one we were looking at. It was really funny and I laughed a lot. It continued to show more school busses with different funny faces on the backs.

It occurred to me later that the lady on the stage was also Amy Lowitz (a tall version) and was much less screwed up than the one sitting on my lap.
