9 30 am pdt [ Piles ]

Piles the Disco Man Horse, whom we acquired in Austria, gets a lot of love. He is the subject of conversation at times. He is the recipient of adoration at all times. He sleeps in our bed. The other night Matthew said he needed more room. I was all scrunched on my side of the bed and couldn't figure out what he was talking about until I saw that he was rolled up against Piles. This morning Matthew took a picture of me sleeping:

So I have to counter with this picture I took of him sleeping on 24 June 2001:

I've also written down several things he has said in his sleep of late:

13-06-2001 @ 1:49 am
"I need to run some coax at work."
"Give me 30 seconds and I can do anything the other car manufacturers can."
"It is an insignificant amount of money."

15-06-2001 @ 11:47 pm
"Sorry about the confetti."
"What about the confetti?"
"It's several miles long."

23-06-2001 @ 12:55 am
"Oh man, I have no idea. I don't know; some sort of wall?"

28-06-2001 @ 12:50 am
"I don't know how good tights work up here."
@ 2:18 am
"What's going on?"
"What?"
"I was just looking at this building I don't think I'd ever seen."

I haven't heard him talk in his sleep since we moved to our new place.

[ 3 years: ]

three years ago today: I registered for the rest of my classes today. I will be taking Introduction to Development Studies, Intermediate Dance, Dance Analysis, History of Film Theory, and Special Topics in Film: Cinema and Artificial Life.

two years ago today: When I was little I was never allowed to see any even remotely scary movies. I didn't get to see Ghostbusters or Gremlins, because if my little brother couldn't see it, neither could I. Thus, I never got the standard desensitization to scary movies, and I have only seen about a half dozen in my life.

one year ago today: If I get a compliment, I work ten times harder, but if someone puts me or my work down, I just stop dead in my tracks.
