night 7 (sept 20-21)

i was in the racquetball room at radnor. there were lots of people there and we were playing battleball, like we usually did.

then all of a sudden the entirety of radnor was there and we were having a party and eating cake.

it was kind of weird.

night 6 (september 9-10)

i was an older woman (i think courtney cox-arquette, randomly.) i was fed up with my life, probably because i was past a certain age and not married.

so i took part of this dating experiment. you showed up at this room, and instead of seeing someone and talking to them, you were blind-folded and you simply danced with them. no words were exchanged and you had to stay for the whole song. at the end of the song, you could choose to keep dancing with them or move on.

i participated in this for a long time, as in over many months. my outside life was changing, in various positive ways. eventually, i was at the date/dance thing and began dancing with this guy. we kept dancing, and it felt right. at the end of the night, we kissed. then came the montage of many months following - more dancing, more kissing, dates, etc. it stopped on a scene of the two of us discussing our upcoming marriage and thus, how we met.

he said something like, the first time we danced wasn't the first time we met. i was struck with a feeling of horror, like he was about to tell me he had been stalking me. instead he said something like before i began to do the dance dates, i had been really rude to him on a street. he remembered when he saw my face, but decided not to say anything so he wouldn't ruin what was going to happen.

i remember feeling upset that i had been so awful to the man i love.

then i woke up.

moral: love is blind and you don't know where you'll find it.
