Ira Glass Dream

05/16/2012

i had a dream last night that i got on the phone with the podcast ive been writing, ira glass, and that he called me up on speaker while i was in a dorm room.  i think it's cause i'm on my way to UB soon for the MFA writing program, but this school was so much cooler.  it had a sloping lawn outside of a wall that was covered with windows and I got on a phone with a long cord and me and ira sat for like 20 minutes. 


sometimes he would go through bad cell phone reception areas where i'd think our call was dropped.  but then he'd walk into a better reception area and then we'd pick up where we left off.  i kept looking around for my parents because i wanted to tell them that, "see, i told you ira glass would call me.  we are talking about really like everyday things." 


this is true.  on our phone conversation we talked about w.o.r.m.s, the writing series i go too and then i opened up about my insecurities about the Three Penny Review.  and somehow i remember him saying like don't worry about it or something. then i thought about ira glass and tried to remember if he was in a relationship because i thought i'd seen him on the cover of a magazine with a wedding ring. 


but....i was interrupted by the sound of a dirt bike.  on interstate-83 we hear them all the time and the city gave up trying to get the police to enforce laws on them.  i wish all the time that they would crash and burn so that they wouldnt sound so loud.  but this time in my dream, it happened.  there was this guy and i could hear him screaming and then i heard him driving into a pool, fighting to swim.  that's when my alarm woke me up.  maybe somebody up there is trying to make me feel guilty.

It is AMAZING when it's sunny. So- some things that my friends in baltimore have noticed:

"it's been raining since sunday and no one wants to go out" (this is suuuuper common for seattle in the winter. Once you have faught off traffic and are home, you don't want to go out/do stuff.)

during the winter I forced myself to go visit people who wouldn't come out to see me.

during the summer- it's easier because it IS nicer and people want to go outside/hike/etc.

Some people get used to the rain... Others (like me) who are really sensitive to the sun/lack of sun never really get used to it. I found myself going across the pass a lot just to see the sun.

Honestly? If you want to move out here, just do it. Get a place for 6 months, transfer your job and just take the plunge. If you don't like it- then move back. I think everyone should do something crazy every once in a while.

I'll stick with bungee jumping
