I dreamt I was standing in the immense lobby of a resort on the Gold Coast.  It was an incredible room of modern design; very sleek with glass stairs and a lot of bright colours.  The light of the setting sun poured in through the two storey glass panels that made up the walls, which gave the room a very warm atmosphere.  Outside I could see the beach was right next to the resort.

I was on a school camp and my friends and I decided to explore the resort.  We were going up and down in the elevators, looking at the different floors and getting lost, as you do in dreams that don’t really make a lot of sense.

After we found our room we decided to cause some mischief and my friend, Lynnette, managed to steal one of the cleaners ID cards; the kind they use to operate the workers elevators.  We were playing in those elevators for a while before we arrived at the lobby again.  I wandered off, admiring the lobby, and when I turned around, I realised my friends had jumped back in the elevator.  I ran after them but the doors closed just before I got there.

I stood there pushing the elevator button, feeling alone and not wanting to be separated from my friends, when the doors opened and there stood a group of cleaners eyeing me suspiciously.  I exclaimed that I was lost before walking back towards the lobby, where I came across a teacher from my high school and a few students from my primary school.  The teacher asked me what I was doing and I replied with, “Nothing… Emma, Nicki, Lynnette and I just got lost,” before I walked away, worried about my friends.

Then I woke up.

I currently have some sort of sinus infection or throat infection or something and I’ve taken some sinus relief tablets that could possibly make me drowsy, so I don’t know how much sense I’m going to make.

Last Thursday Emma, Alex, Gavin and I went down to the Gold Coast to stay in a 5 star resort for 4 nights.  Leigh also joined us for Friday and Saturday nights.  It was just what I needed; friends, beach, dancing, sunshine, games, delicious food (cooked by yours truly + Emma) and relaxation.  To top it all off, the resort was actually on ‘Hope Island’ – haha.  This amuses me because my nightmares and insomnia stopped while I was away and they haven’t yet returned.

On Sunday Lynnette caught a train from Brisbane to join Gavin, Emma and I in attending one of the biggest music festivals of the year; Big Day Out, along with 54,996 other people (seriously – 55,000 tickets were completely sold out).  I saw Muse, Powderfinger, Lily Allen, Eskimo Joe, The Mars Volta, Dizzee Rascal, Karnivool, Kasabian, Mastodon and Blue Juice.  I could only describe Muse as fan-fricking-tastic.  I have been to see a few bands and I think it’s safe to say Muse put on the best performance I have ever seen.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to see Rise Against, Jet, Grinspoon, Fear Factory, Peaches or Girl Talk because they clashed with other bands but I’m still really satisfied with how my day played out.  The only downside is that I now have this sinus infection and my back is badly sunburnt.

I have found it rather difficult to return to Brisbane.  It feels as though I’m returning to a harsh reality where I’m struggling financially and a lot of things aren’t working out for me, like work, university and retrieving my original mobile phone number.  Sigh…

It’s also the last week I get to spend with the beautiful Emma before she returns to her home in New Zealand.  As I’ve probably said before, she’s the only person who understands my strange sense of humour, as well as the only person I feel I can be 100% myself around…

I’m starting to not make sense, aren’t I?

It’s definitely time for bed. I hope this damn sinus infection heals quickly.

I am also speed capped.
