Stratovania

Oh dude, I'm sorry, you should have been at my aunt's house on Thanksgiving. My cousin is a restaurant manager (used to be Red Lobster, but he still does even now that he works a not-necessarily-seafood place) and he ALWAYS brings shrimp for an appetizer. This year he brought BUTTLOADS of it so there were even LEFTOVERS (in part possibly because my husband wasn't there to eat it). I don't even like shrimp myself. Gee, this was actually a pretty cruel comment for me to leave, wasn't it? Sorry.

I, like slfcllednowhere, have lucid dreams all the time and I don't know how they happen and couldn't tell anyone else how to do it. I don't get people who act like it's all mystical or something-- it's just a different way for your brain to act, I guess-- but it definitely exists. I do get different levels of control over it-- I've had things I tried to make happen that absolutely refused to happen, things that surprised me when I thought I totally knew what was going on, things that happened SORT of like I wanted but not quite-- just yesterday morning I had one that started out like you said, where I just changed something just by thinking about it although I hadn't TRIED to, but then when I REALIZED I had done so i decided to take full advantage and cause some other things to happen which I totally oughtn't to admit (though I did share it with a Twitter friend so it's hardly totally private, but still, must have some standards) and it was TOTALLY working and just when it was about to get REALLY GOOD, MY STUPID CLOCK RADIO ALARM WENT OFF. But it WOULD have worked, dangit.
