Black haired mystery.... Christmas in the City!

I’ve been having dreams of a black-haired girl. Okay, two dreams, and not the same girl in both, but black hair definitely. The first one was one of those rare and baffling dreams where everything feels completely real and strong. In it, we were in love. Big time. Different than I’ve ever felt before, actually. It was intense. She was so delicate, too. So fragile. She was scared to come out to her parents. Neither of us had dated a girl before, but we just knew it was right. Eventually, we ended up telling her older sister, who was shocked at first, but then supportive. We never ended up telling her parents in the dream, but she got over her fear of it. We got to the point where it really didn’t matter in the long run. And you know what? Waking from those dreams is so confusing and annoying. It leaves me with a very strong, very real, feeling of missing the other person and longing for them.

The second dream with a black-haired girl was kind of strange, and in it I was able remember some specific dream-details, like how sound doesn’t work the same. I was in a house, standing in a living room at the end of a hallway. At the other end of the hallway was a bathroom. I was talking with a man in the living room, but what would happen is he would look at me.. and I think his lips would move.. but no sound came out. I would just know what he said. There was absolutely no sound whatsoever. No background noise, nothing. Then, I heard a shower running down the hall. I looked down, and the door was ajar slightly, revealing a girl in the shower. I couldn’t hear anything but the shower, and even that kept cutting out. I walked down the hallway, and when I got to the bathroom the shower was off, and the girl was standing there in her clothes. She had long, black hair. We looked at one another, and knew each other instantly. Without words, we knew we had to leave. We wanted to be together, and the man back in the living room wouldn’t let us. I wrapped my arms around her and warped us outside of the house. Yeah, I can warp in dreams sometimes. It’s fun! So we ran away together. I don’t remember anything else.

Got to go Christmas shopping with Kok today! We went to Metrotown in Burnaby, so that was a lot of fun. I was a bit upset though because I couldn’t register the character name “Kiera” before we left. The purge was scheduled for today, but no luck yet. So we buzzed off to the mall and had a blast shopping around. I got one of mom’s main presents, but other than that I didn’t really know what I wanted to get for anyone, so I didn’t get much done. I did, however, find some good sales on sweaters that I needed to get for work (damn cold office!) so that was great!

After getting home, I still couldn’t register “Kiera” so I gave up and registered her full name, “KieraMeatha”. That worked, of course! And besides.. “Kiera” is a popular Irish name, so at least by having her last name in the handle people will know I’m not one of the OTHER “Kiera” types around (there are others with different spellings in the game). Of course, I’m making Kiera a Monk again, and I found a great website for monks called the Council of Sabonim. “Sabonim” is a word for a monk teacher. Student monks are called “hubae”. In the game there’s an awful lot of hubae slavery going around, because teaching students is worth a lot of experience and a lot of non-role players will pay millions of coins to get students so they can advance. I wanted to avoid all that stuff, so I was happy to find the website and a list of the sabonim who are members, meaning they’re not into the whole slave trade thing. They’re good role players, good teachers. I made myself a list of all the sabonim that have White Bat form, as that’s the form I want to learn too. In the game, I found one instantly, Deice. Really nice guy! He agreed to be my guide/mentor right away, and I told him OOC that I found him on the website, so he was glad for that. We spent the whole evening role playing and training Kiera! So much fun! I can’t wait to see him again. We got her all the way up to 7th insight (level) and got her trained in White Bat! It was way late by the time we finally said g’nite.. hope he didn’t have school or work the next morning!
