my subconscious is not a big believer in subtlety this week, apparently.

had two dreams that i can remember; one about being in the passenger seat of my car while someone else was driving it though hip deep puddles. they were surprised whenever they hit a puddle and wanted to stop and talk about it, whereas i knew that the way to get through the puddles so the car wouldn't die was to hit the gas and keep going.

the second one involved being at my parents' old house in hastings, and having people there sleeping over. people who, i should note, i would never ask to sleep over. if there were a horrible disaster, and they asked, i might drive them to a hotel. but not in my house. anyhow. so that was going on, and one of them came up to me and touched me on the shoulder. i moved, and asked them to stop it. they did it again. i moved their hand off my shoulder and calmly explained to them that if they touched me again, i was going to file assault charges.

i think it's actually battery, if they're unarmed.

i think i like it when the subtlety is on vacation. makes the whole interpretation thing easier.
