welcome again to my journal again. as you can see from the background, I am in a non-matrix mood. lately people on the objectivist-l list I am on have been discussing the movie, and analyzing it. so I am trying to pass on matrix imagery for awhile (but don't worry, it will come back). today I had a test in my King Arthur class, and I had to give a take on Chretien de Troyes. Here you can see the outline and handout I used. We are reading Malory's Morte de Arthur and next we will be reading the Mists of Avalon. For those who don't know, I am in the Masters of Liberal Arts program at HBU here in Houston. I worked on my presentation last night, and ending up not getting any sleep. I went to school at 9am, and then came at 1pm and went write to sleep. I woke up around 4am, and here I am writing in my journal. Perhaps this should be called Melissa's Midnight Journey because I haven't written before that time of night. I guess I am just a night owl. dreaming i have been having a lot of weird dreams lately. usually i have this thing where i dream about being in highschool or college, when I am at my current age. however lately my dreams have been very vivid and perceptually captivating. however, they are also very bizarre. tonight i dreamed that i was a type of person called an "interactor" who could change and interact with reality in strange ways (perhaps this is the matrix influence). at the beginning i was this spy who was helping a harrison ford/tom clancy character person and his wife escape being killed. however, my index finger could serve as a gun, and also pick locks by touching them. next in my dream all these famous actors, and people in general were trying to trap me, but sense I had these weird powers they couldn't. it turned out that i was this "interactor" who could change the face of history by my choices. however, at the end of the year 2000, the world would end because of something i did, so everyone was trying to kill me. however, if and when i died i would then go back in time and be reincarnated into another interactor. There I would gain my powers, and shape the course of history, life after life until now. the reason the dream was interesting to me wasn't the content, but because despite the inconsistencies and flaws, it was realistic for me, and also had a sort of plot structure. I wonder how my brain can come up with intricate plots that I really have never considered, now seen in real life. side note as you can see by
now, this journal entry is not very photo intensive. i am
trying to tackle ideas and thoughts in this entry, rather
than the photo ablum like approach I used in the
beginning. however, this journal will be developing in
various ways, sometimes more photos, sometimes more
words. plus the format and graphics will be continually
changed as I feel like it. however, there is one thing I
have added to this site that is photo I am getting sleepy now and I am having a hard time of thinking what more I can write. soon I am going to post a few poems I have written recently. they are not publishable at all, and are more like exercises in thinking up random words while having a stream of consciousness writing flow going. but it is good to be writing anything, just to keep the juices flowing. i am also writing a movie script that will probably never get on the net. for those who don't know, i have had a number of short stories published and also completed a novel called "What Moves Her" which is now seeking publication. anyway, perhapys during my sleep my brain is using its creative juices to concoct semi-lucid stories so that I might be inspired to write them down. okay, that is it for now. the weekends are slow for me, so nothing much is going on. I am going to watch "The Ideal Husband", X-Files, and the Practise, maybe work on my King Arthur midterm, and just relax. have an enjoyable weekend. bye for now.
