OK, last night I had an awesome dream about "the perfect guy", or pretty close to it, in my opinion. (Please don't stop reading yet...) In this dream I was at a party, surrounded by squeaky girls who seemed like they only knew how to say "He's so hot", and guys who strutted around like peacocks and lacked true conversational skills. So, I'm annoyed by all this, and think about leaving, but decide to first go get something to drink. I walk over there, and there's this guy standing there looking out the window,(who of course *looks* a lot like my ideal because it's my dream, but I won't bore you with the details...he had glasses though. If you want to know exactly what he looked like, feel free to ask.) wearing a shirt with Tux on it. "Oh wow! That's a great shirt!" I exclaimed. "Well, someone that enthusiastic must be telling the truth. It's not just a penguin though, it's..." We both said "Tux" at the same time. He nodded and I said "I know. Linux." We started chatting, and it turns out that he was a CS major as an undergrad but was getting a graduate degree in Environmental Science, and wrote programs to model natural systems. He keeps "normal" hours and refuses to program if it's really nice weather. We went to sit on this hidden couch, and still talking, (no action yet or anything), but then the dream degraded. THen it became a nightmare. The kid who plays Ra from Stargate came in with a metallic whip, and started cracking it. Then he somehow contracted it into a coil very quickly, and rolled it across the floor, and I picked it up, and he told me to follow him. The whip turned out to be a narrow spring, and in the process of trying to follow him it got tangled. I was afraid he'd be pissed. Anyway, we were in a hotel now, and I ended up in the basement, where all these people were being tortured or at least degraded. Soren was being forced to stand in a metal box...I don't think it did anything else. There were a lot of Techhouse members. I freed Soren and then we ran off so the Ra kid wouldn't kill us. The elevators weren't coming fast enough, so we took the stairs, which were a spiral staircase. I found the Linux guy from before and told him to get out of here, that bad shit was going down, and to call me. Soren and I ended up at some gymnasium where there were 4 basketball games going on. There were bunk beds along the walls. I hid on one of them, under a quilt and behind Soren and Kali, who had sat down on the edge. I hid for a long time, and I even saw the Ra kid walk by. Then, Soren and Kali left and I was exposed. That was the end of the dream. The cool thing about the perfect guy part was that he wasn't perfect. He didn't have perfect skin. His hair was disheveled. He was slightly awkward. I adored him though. It gave me a lot of confidence that there's people like this out there. In fact, I know there are.
