Now...my job as of right now has to be one of the most slow going jobs. I have been able to sort out my loan info; get some headway on the wedding website; catch up on all blogs; read online poetry; purchase new shoes online; and e-mail my mother and erin all day long. I also have acquired quite the running list of new music I want to download--inspired from hearing new mu via grooveshark and pandora(apparantly they have a limit on hours you can listen). Along with the internet being pretty much my only source for interpersonal communication(I sit in a cubby away from everyone by myself) my mind is my source of entertainment. I will explain.
Daydreaming. All day at work I daydream. I let my mind enter so many different realms and worlds and I actually have control over who enters these thoughts(unlike night dreams). To defer my brain turning into mush from looking at a screen all day I travel in my mind. Now please don't judge me on my daydreams..I swear I'm not as materialistic or shallow as my daydreams play me out to be ;) at least I'd like to think that. I would like to think of this list as my version of the MTV series "Made"
Top ten things I daydream about
1. Becoming rich in a very random way. Yesterday I daydreamed that one of the lawyers pulled me into his office and told me he was impressed with my mind and wanted to pay off all my loans and pay for the rest of my education..no cost and no favors. I also have the same daydream alot where one of the homeless women that I took care of suddenly strikes it rich and offers my a lump sum haha. I also have the random daydream where a famous rapper runs into me downtown and knocks me over and in an apology offers me moola along with patron on ice.haha. Now what I do with this money I also daydream about: I think about all the places I want to donate..but come on that gets kind of boring in a daydream...so I dream about going on extravagant shopping sprees...tipping very highly at restaraunts...buying an island just for me and most importantly hiring someone to play with my hair everyday and give me massages. haha..
2. Crazy things happening at unlikely places. The most unlikely place: my work. I daydream about the lawyers getting in a crazy fist fight or catching someone making out or my personal favorite...someone breaking into dance and song at my work and then inspiring a dance party. I also daydream about one of the lawyers coming into my cubicle and asking if I would like to help him with a deposition of a crazy person in some insane case. How awesome would that be?
3. Alex and I in our new home. I daydream about this alot as well. I daydream about what our new house is going to look like..what we are going to call our little puppy golden retriever...decorations and making breakfast in bed with him.
4. Being Pheobe off of friends. Now I love Pheobe and lately I have been watching an unhealthy amount of Friends. Lately I have this same daydream where Friends airs again and they ask me to be Pheobe! hahaha..weird I know.
5. New Occupation. I often daydream about getting a new job..go figure...but of course it's jobs like being a fashion designer for Beyonce or being a professional dancer or being an outdoor yoga instructor in California where it's always sunny. I also have daydreamed about being a puppy keeper or a baby holder. I also daydream about finding the perfect non-profit job for me. One of my favorites that I have daydreamed about is becoming a famous poet and having my own "poet's corner" in some wonderful library where I sit and read poetry all day and talk about poems and writing with smart philisophical people all day. hahah
6. Last words. I have also daydreamed about last words. Things I would like to say to people that I would never have the guts to say to them or the chance passed by. I daydream about conversations with people from my past..and some from my present. I daydream about little edgy witty things I could say to the people that have shown me up or gotten under my skin. I also think about words I should have said or things I have said that I regret.
7. Being a bird/Trees. Usually I daydream about this the most when driving home from work. I look up at the beautiful fall trees and I pretend that I am the leaves on them flowing with the wind gracefully so. I am also prone to daydreaming that I am a bird free in the sky.
8. Performing on stage and having an accent. For some reason listening to Kate Nash inspires this daydream. I pretend that I have the voice of Kate Nash and am in some dive bar singing wonderful acoustic songs. :D
9. Europe.
10. Not ever having to work again in my life--only getting to be artistic and creative and lazy some days too. lol
omg trish. this is amazing!
