"Television precludes imagination; Imagination is its enemy. Imitation is the sincerest form of television." -Timothy Findley, canadian novelist and playwright.

That quote has nothing to do with what I'm about to write. I just like it.

I dreamed last night that it was my 19th birthday. I was gonna stage a concert in which I sang a buch of Kate Bush songs, and I was gonna hire Kate Bush to do the music and the background vocals. I was gonna pay her 700 dollars. I was trying to get everything arranged at the last minute, but then I realized that there were SO many things I forgot to take care of, and anyway, since when do I know how to sing professionally? (this was going to take place at a large outdoor arena). At the end I realized how incredibly immature I was. At the same time, a daughter of a friend of mine was having her first period. She was worried about blood coming out of her, but then she figured out that it was just her period.

Overall this was sort of a "coming of age" kind of thing, in which folks are growing up a bit, and realizing their past ignorance. I'm not surprised that I had this dream: I often feel like I have an exceptionally immature and unrealistic outlook on life....
