A man working behind the counter at a convenience store asks me to marry him. He gives me a giant engagement ring with an enormous stone. Later, when I look down at my hand, I realize that the stone is missing. It turns out the stone wasn’t really attached to the ring, it was just resting on the setting. I look around and find the diamond and put it back into the ring.
The man’s mother finds out that he’s given me the ring, and she gets angry at him.
Today’s Horoscope:
Aries (3/21-4/19)
Sharing your dreams with other people might seem like a good way to figure out the puzzling images you saw, but you have to watch your audience carefully. Are they really interested in what you have to say? It’s better to let these odd visions just stew around in your head than to bore friends with the symbolism of your inner mind. This is not a good time to talk too much about yourself — what is important to you is not always important to the people you’re talking to.
I’m taking college classes, but the classes all take place in a lavish, gilded, hotel ballroom and event space. The classes I’m taking include:
I go over to visit Luke and his son. I have some work to do and he is babysitting.
I go and meet with a potential client. This client is something like a high-powered PR firm, and all the women who work there are older and somewhat icy and forbidding. They don’t have offices, but instead all the women sit at a long front desk, like a reception area, and greet people there.
The woman I talk to has a 3-D printer at her desk for prototyping. We discuss a project and she prints out a blob of plastic for us to review. I walk down the line of desks and pick up business cards from everyone.
I go back to my house on Prescott Drive and go into the basement. I look up K.V.s blog and realize that I had written him a note on his blog asking if he wanted to get together, and he had replied on the blog so I hadn’t seen it. He had also commented about Tamara’s blog. I write back to him that if he’s interested in plastic flies (like toy rubber houseflies) then I know where to get some.
Then Luke comes down the stairs and I quit working to talk to him.
I go to visit Jai at his new apartment. It’s a Thursday evening. He has a new boyfriend and they’re all over each other. He tells me that this is the most important relationship in his life. I’m put out by the fact that he’s ignoring me and I try to make him understand that he’s being rude to me.
I go back and visit him on Sunday. This time he has a different boyfriend. He claims this boyfriend is really the one for him and he will be with him forever. I tell him point blank that there is no way this can be true, since he just broke up with someone else. He ignores me and I can tell he doesn’t want to listen to me.
They adopt a baby girl from Korea. I am shocked and disturbed that they would expect to care for a baby when they are obviously not that stable. Jai tells me that having a baby will confer legitimacy on his relationship. They ignore the baby once she arrives and go out to eat at restaurants.
