To dream that you escape from jail or some place of confinement, signifies your need to escape from a restrictive situation or attitude. Alternatively, it suggests that you are refusing to face your problems. You are avoiding the situation, instead of confronting them.

To see a ship in your dream, denotes that you are exploring aspects of your emotions and unconscious mind. The state and condition of the ship is indicative of  your emotional state. If it is a cruise ship, then it suggests pleasant moods. If it is a warship, then you are experiencing feelings of aggression.

To dream that you are on a cruise, represents some emotional journey that you are going through. The dream may also be a pun on “cruising” through situations in your life with ease and little effort.

I dreamt Angelo and I were escaping from some place on a cruise ship and we had to get some gameboys to get on the ship in order to escape. It seemed like we were escaping Nazis or something, but then, I did watch Casablanca last night. lol.

To dream of an extremely small baby, symbolizes your helplessness and your fears of letting others become aware of your vulnerabilities and incompetence. You may be afraid to ask for help and as a result tend to take matters into your own hands.

To dream that you are in or see a boat, signifies your ability to cope with and express your emotions. Pay particular attention to the condition and state of the waters, whether is is calm or violent, clear or murky, etc. Are you “smooth sailing”? Alternatively, you may be ready to confront your unconscious and unknown aspects of yourself.

To dream that you are on vacation, indicates that you need a break to recharge your energies and revitalize yourself. You need to break out of your daily routine and do something different.  Alternatively, it represents your achievements. You are giving yourself a pat on the back and feel deserving of a reward for your hard work.

I am totally taken by shock by the simple fact that I am as in love as I am. I really never imagined this kind of love was destined for me, but in fact it was. I am so infinitely happy, its goofy. And I get to spend the rest of my life being this in love and sleeping under glow-in-the-dark stars. (We decided that when we live together our ceiling will most definitely be totally covered.)

Life’s surprises are so amazing.

I spent 1994 to 1997 harboring the same unrequited crush on a boy who, when he heard, told our entire 4th grade class as we lined up to go back inside after recess, that this couldn’t possibly be true, because “if Meaghan O. liked me, I would be in the bathroom barfing right now.”

“It’s not true!” I yelled out, and wanted to die. I mean, truly wanted to die in a way you don’t really want to die anymore when you grow up. Don’t get me wrong, I want to die all the time still but not in that way. Not in that I am nothing way.

So I was ass over elbows for this kid for pretty much the rest of my adolescence, and eventually we became friends because I sort of leveled up in popularity self-esteem after quitting Girl Scouts and refusing to wear glasses and reading all of my mom’s Anatomy books so that I told everyone I knew everything I knew about fuckin and then got kicked out of the gifted program because I had a mouth like a sailor and was generally too much of a badass. Anyway we became friends and I would write poems about him and he would find out and I would do presentations in class about Madonna songs I considered to be about him and he would sit through them, and I would give him nicknames and send him long notes about how he PLAYED with my HEART and then we would hold hands during Anne Frank and he would tell me I looked really pretty in my new smiley face hair clip but that Michael Fowler was telling all the boys in PE class that I didn’t wear gym shorts under my pleated skirt.

Here is my list for the new year:

• Travel, I want to take at least one good vaction, Chicago maybe. Maybe with the boy.
• School, I need to get stuff together as soon I get back from Florida for next year. I want to go to EMU and I am going to have to work hard to get everything all set.
• Art, I need to start making stuff. I would love to start selling cards or prints and I also really want to practice my portrait photography.
• Family, I need to spend more time with my Daddy, ,step-mom, and little sisters. I miss them.
• Laugh, it never hurts to laugh a little bit more.
• The Mustache Business Plan, I really want to do more with my business plan this year. There is so much research I gotta do.
• Love, obviously. I am in love and I am gonna keep it that way. Angelo is the most amazing person in the world and I am very excited to see how we grow together this year. Heck I can’t wait to see what we do with this whole new decade. I am so excited.
• God, God and I have so much work to do and I know it is going to get done. We’ll have to work together though.

Also, I turn 21 this year and I am going to make it one awesome birthday.

And so now, I get to be with the love of my life from tonight all the way through the next week every hour of every day in Florida, and I am so so excited. :)

This past year has been great. I started it out with the most amazing guy ever (the same with who I am ending it with, and begining the new one.) This whole year has just been utterly amazing, mostly because I spent the entire year with the love of my life. Most of my highlights involve my amazing family who I have had so much fun with this past year. They are some of the most amazing people I have ever known, for real. There has been a lot of good stuff with school, I really proved to myself that I am a smart girl who can do whatever she puts her mind to. This past year has been less about having a lot of friends and more about keeping those that I have close. I lost a few and gained some others, but all in all my friends have been so good to me. Like I said one of the biggest, well probably the biggest, things this past year has been Angelo, who is undoubtly the most amazing person I have ever met. When I look back on the highlights Angelo is a part of almost every single one. I am so lucky and excited to spend another year with that amazing guy. God has been so good this year. While 2009 has had its lows, it has definitely had its highs and that is what really matters. So here’s to this past year and here is to the new year. Let’s hope it’s even better than the last.

Happy New Year Tumblr!
