long long ago,

the world was about to end. my family set up a bunker on the moon. there was enough food in there for the three of us for ten years. we moved into this tiny bunker. we realized that the ten years had passed and we were almost out of food. there was no way of getting more, becuase the earth was gone. i saw frost on the window, and a second moon, and the frost looked like an angel.

we were at the ymca and in that room with all the machines there was some sort of competition going on. i knew one of the girls who was competing (i dunno, it was like basketball or something). so i was talking to her, and i noticed she had the curliest hair i've ever seen. melissa had to be home at ten, so we left. as soon as we got outside, melissa burst into tears and she was all mad at me for talking to that girl because the girl was stronger than melissa. so i had to make melissa feel better. after she was done crying, i called my mom to come get us. my mom showed up and drove us halfway home before we realized that melissa had taken her car to the Y. so my mom drove us back. we sat in the parking lot with my mom and had a cigarette. a bunch of guys in really weird costumes came out of the Y to the back parking lot where we were sitting in the car. here is a picture.

so, one of these strangely costumed guys approaches our car. he was talking ( i don't know to who, either a friend or to a cell phone ). he's talking about masturbating and getting laid, and he's cursing alot. he starts, like, putting his head inside the car window too, but he's not talking to us. then i realize it's kris p. melissa doesn't think it's him, but i yell "kris!" and he takes off his costume and starts talking to us.

so we get out of the car, because melissa starts freaking out because she had to be home by ten, and it was after ten. she kept blaming me for everything. so i was talking to kris and my mom was pulling away, and melissa was running to get in her car. a large black woman appears out of one of the cars and starts criticizing my mom's driving, yelling and cursing at her. i am wondering who this woman is, and i ask kris. turns out it is his mom. he warns me that she gets mad easily, so be careful.

meanwhile she is cursing at my mom. as my mom's green car finishes turning around and passes by where kris's mom is standing, she calls my mom a whore, and i hear my mom call HER a whore. so then the woman starts walking over towards us.

i introduce myself politely and suddenly she loves me. she thought i was so nice. she made me dance with her in the parking lot and she was hugging me and stuff. so then i went over to melissa who was sitting in the car, crying her eyes out. i looked at my watch because i was going to say "it's going to be ok, you're only 10 minutes late" or something, but then i realized that my watch was on backwards and i had been telling her the wrong time. it was only 9:15! so then she left me there, and i had to get my own drive home. but she wasn't mad.

I have no idea who you are but this story never happened and you should really think about who you're writing about before you do so. please remove this asap.

this is a blog in which i write the dreams i have.

its not very obvious to people who glance at it like employers doing background checks. they don't read people's entire blogs or the description of it. they google your name and click on what comes up. its actually who i found out from.

i'm assuming this is kris, if so, i'm very sorry to have caused you any distress. i'll remove your last name.

and i also assumed the part about my family picking up and moving to the moon might have been a dead giveaway.

sorry again. should be all good now.

no worries alicia. i didn't realize you typed your name in there. i appologize if i came off as a jerk there. its not a big deal at all. i was just confused because i didn't know who it was and i had a employeer ask what that was about and i was scratching my head.
