I Am Amused By the Workings of My Brain.

In my dreams, half the time I'm male, and half the time I'm female. One-quarter of the time, I'm much older than my real age, and half the time I'm younger. I find this interesting. Last night, I was an older man, kind of a retired-badass sort of character. Also, there was river surfing on 2x4s, which totally wouldn't work in the real world.

...

Some combination of my mule-headed stubbornness, devil's-advocate tendencies, and "I can write anything"-itis results in my brain clicking over into plot-generating mode as soon as somebody issues a challenge, or doubts that a story type can be done well, or mentions how rare a certain kind of story is. That's how I got a Highlander parody involving the evolution of mallows nesting in my story idea file. Can't somebody just pay me for my plots?

And a good friend of mine loaned me their penis for the date, so that was fine. Though their preferred penis-style and mine? Very different. There's was more spartan, very elegant, all white, shiny. Mine was a bit fancier and more complex. But you make do with what you have, I suppose. And it was awfully nice of them to lend it to me. So, no complaints.

Suddenly I feel that my dreams are far too mundane.
