I dream of ... snakes

Last night I dreamt of a snake. A snake that bit me.

I am not sure how the snake ended up in my dream, as I was not in the woods or the destert or by the sea, but in an apartment. But somehow it did. And then it bit me. And then I was
afraid I was going to die. Which even in a dream, is not very fun.

I looked up what dreaming of snakes means in real life and I was not too pleased.

• If a snake was coiled around you then you might be slave to sexual passions or repressions. it was.
• According to oracles, snakes in dreams warn you of troubles, obstacles and treatchery. sweet.

I feel like I need to take a couple of days off, barricade myself in my room, and turn off my phone. Wait it out. It, being some very unfortunate incident that is coming.

minor annoyances

1. Lady at the Macy's jewelry counter told me it would be easier for her if I had my receipt. Although the stuff had the "return sticker" on them. Yes, easier for the Macy's saleslady is what I am concerned with.

2. After trying to return a useless balm thing at the Benefit counter, the chick just would not let up. She continued to press "have you used it? have you used it right? do you want to try again? can I show you how? why do you not like it? are you sure you don't like it?" I mean!! I just want to return it - not re-buy it!!!

3. Kids behind the Ben and Jerry's counter who after staring at me and Becca.. after we said "uhm, could we get some ice cream? " said, oh, we didn't know you were ready. Well, why didn't you simply ask us?

I now remember why I don't shop more often. minor annoyanes

Second Chance

Poem: "Second Chance" by Louis McKee from Near Occasions of Sin. © Cynic Press.

In my dream I return
to the place I went
wrong, and given this
chance to change
things, I go on
down the way I went
before. Even in sleep
I know there is only one go—
and it went well
the first time. Where
it didn't- well, it will
be good to see her again.
