20260715 I was with Cookie on a holiday. It was like a little hotel village. We were on our last night there when we sat down at at a cafe, where two round tables have been pulled together. A man from Germany comes by to comment and laugh. I had the impression he was family. 
When he left, I felt bad I didn't have enough booklets from my mum-in-law's memorial service to give one to him.

We turned the corner to sit beside two of Cookie's long time family friends, B+L. My mum-in-law was suddenly sitting with them and suggested we eat here tomorrow before leaving. The man from before walk passed us again and I saw behind him at the restaurant that kids eat free on Mondays.

I said, ”Look, [baby]! You can eat free if you ate french fries.”

202506013 Cookie and I were at an apartment's party room for a family event. It was at the top floor of the condo, and at least three of the walls were glass - there was an unrestricted view of the sky.

Banana was planning the party and it was almost done. I asked if appetizers were vegan and she gave me one to try. There were only two of each one. I took a bite when Apple walked by. I offered it to him but he refused. I didn't like him. He was snooty.

20250605 i was on a subway car with Cookie. When we reached the main station, Union Station, the doors suddenly snapped closed before anyone could exit. The windows all opened as the train began to accelerate as fast as it was capable. Wind rustled as everyone inside held on to something to prevent from falling or flying. I overheard people talking through the wind that someone hijacked the train and hacked the system.

I watched a man in an orange safety vest and yellow hard hat shovel pizza boxes from the floor onto a catering cart. All around him were pizza boxes and their delicious contents spilled on the dirty floors of the dark subway underground. He shoveled one into the cart and peered into it, his smile turning into a frown. He continued to shovel more boxes on the cart. In the box he opened was a pizza made with human remains.

20250423 for Cherry's birthday, we gathered at a restaurant high up top a tall, private building of concrete. It was late afternoon and sunset when we were seated around small, wrought iron food court tables. The building didn't have walls or railings - it was all open space. My aunt brought leftovers from her birthday party: lechon and something else delicious. As we ate, the set and it was dusk.

Our meal was soon interrupted by the loud flapping of a helicopter's blades. Cherry flew the helicopter as close as she could to the building, showing us all how she was doing for her birthday lesson. I excitedly opened my cellphone and FlightRadar24 App to show everyone we could track her movements in the sky. I excited watched her icon on my screen, the tiny, yellow helicopter happily moving around the screen. I kept it open until she was done.

I returned home in a lavish cloth dress. My partner was older - a Sean Connery type - wearing a white suite and black bow tie. I went to the kitchen for something and when i returned to the courtyard, my partner had been in a struggle.

 "Call an ambulance!" He exclaimed. The attacker was on the floor, clutching his chest and was face down

20250131 My high school friends were having a get together at an apartment owned by either Spritz or one of his sisters. Cookie and I brought our four month old baby, who was quiet and happy. I sat at a small, white dining table feeling isolated  from all the activities. Because that's what it feels like as a new, breastfeeding mother at parties.

Spritz's older sister was going through the kitchen cabinets. I asked what she was doing.
”I'm looking for pot to make my hot chocolate," she said.
I got up from my seat and pulled out a small pot. “this will work perfectly," I said.
She agreed and left the suite to get ingredients at her apartment.

Spritz's younger sister saw Baby and asked to hold her. When Cookie came by, he asked, "where's Baby?"
I pointed to them by the window. She sat on the white, tiled floor with Baby on her lap as she showed her different pots and pans from the white cupboards.

20250116 i worked in a retail store, and then took part time at another retail store. I preferred the second one and told my coworkers. We went to lunch together, which included Mango and Papaya and their eldest son who was three. Papaya and I filled on desserts.


i went on a field trip in a packed coach bus in university, to a local museum. There were floating, mulocoloured, huge fish swimming in the air above our heads. We spent the day there, and left just as it became 4pm. Most of the students have left on their own, and on the bus home, it was just a handful of us left and the female professor.

She asked the driver to stop somewhere in the middle of a busy town. I asked, “were thise floating fish real or...” but the bus was still dead silent and I felt embarrassed, realizing what I've just said.
I was the last to jump off the bus, but I grabbed an umbrella because it was raining. I took a pvc, clear one with many coloured polkadots. We crossed the street in the pouring rain and stopped at an outdoor market, just outside another art museum.

20250105 In a supermarket, i rolled my cart to a refrigerated display almost empty of its contents. There were less than five hard cheeses and rolls of salami as I grabbed one of each and dropped it into my cart. An older man was also shopping for them, taking two of each item. He commented on how we must be kindred for wanting the same things at the same time, and invited me over to enjoy the cheese and salami.

I found myself sitting in his livingroom with a slice of salami in my hand and looking at the tray of goods on the coffee table in front of me.

20250104 we visited Peach and Tomato at a new apartment they lived in, though ae only saw their kitchen. The walls, floor tiles and countertops were white. Their dogs weren't present, and neither was our baby. They invited us over for steak, and so I tried to help them. I went into their drawers to grab the right pack of spices to use. They had their spices bundled in sets and in clear boxes. 

I asked Peach, “which one?”
She looked briefly before yelling to Tomato, “Which one?”
Tomato came by, handed me a large stack of Home Depot flyers and found it.
I leafed through the flyers, commenting I was impressed by the amount they had aquired. They're fun to look through. When we finished cooking the vegetables, we were ready to cook the steak. Their home had become mobile, and we could see Toronto as if we were on a streetcar. My mom also materialized, saying she wanted to cook the steaks. I reminded her they're suppose to be half cooked - slightly raw in the centre.
I sat down across from Peach and asked how their dogs were.

I sat with my family at a restaurant - my dad, mum, and sister. We were celebrating my sister's achievement for something, like a graduation. At another table, Shortbread and some high school friends sat together. My sister's friends stopped by our table, chatted and left together with my sister. I looked where the high school group sat and they had left too. I texted Shortbread for an update on where they went, since she'd tell me when they'd go but didn't get a reply. I felt alone.

-----

It was night and I had some Christmas shopping left to do and lots of time to kill. I was at a mall and the first place I stopped was an popular store selling products and treats from Asia. The cashiers announced they were closing in one minute so I hustled to the registers. Todd from Image Collections was at the register; he didn't recognize me. I bought a bag of marshmallow candy and another treat for myself.
I went looking for another store shop and saw a bakery. I remembered they made vegan ice cream from scratch so i stopped by to look at their selection.

20241124 I left my hotel in a suburb of the greater toronto area and took the subway all the way to the heart of toronto (there isn't one built on this period of time). I met shortbread there and some friends, and we stopped at a Chinese store. It was late in the day and the stores were closing. I threw a bunch of things (i couldn't get where i lived) into a cart and took it to a cashier whose register was outside the store while everyone waited at the sidewalk. He took a long time ringing up my items. When he was done, i was alone with my bags and everyone couldn't wait longer. I took the subway alone back to my hotel room.


 i was a landscape labourer again with Cookie on a warm spring day. We were cutting bundles of chives, digging holes in the ground in rows, and planting them. Instead of the chives, i was planting magazine paper strips. I thought the chives were grass.

20240820 I can't remember the dream contents except I was staying in a cottage and so was Spritz. He has a strange diet and I had trouble following what he ate and was allowed to eat by choice. He was sweeping in the foyer and I decided to help him.

20240730 Cookie and I went to an outdoor bar with our high school friends. I think there was a festival because most of our friends went exploring. Even though I am in my third trimester of pregnancy, I was mixing a drink for Amaretti. It was a light yellow, sweet cocktail. I brought it to him, who was comfortable on an outdoor sofa, and Cookie was sitting near him, chatting. Cookie showed me his phone. There was a text message chat open. He told me this lady was texting him, and seemed interested in getting to know him. I felt a pang of fear and grief. I didn't tell him, but I worried she was going to steal him away from me. In her profile picture, she was young and beautiful, and Cookie is a more than wonderful person.

20240525 I went with Cookie's aunt's immediate family to a club his grandfather use to visit. It was full of seniors of different races and ages, though everyone was older than seventy. On this day, they were having a party - a potluck was laid out across a long table in this small hall.


Grandfather stayed home while Aunt's family and I went in his place. When we arrived, Aunt picked up a paper plate and began filling it with food. The rest of us followed suit. The others stopped what they did and stared. We felt self-conscious, so we left the party, bringing our plates with us. 
-------------------------------
I was with another boy, but I wasn't in my body. I had dirty blond hair, tied in a ponytail and a proportionately slim body. This boy wouldn't give me what was in his hand, and I wanted it, terribly. I kissed him. It was soft and sweet. He relaxed his teasing posture as I took the item from his hand.

20240225 Cookie and I were in a different country, in a rural area. We were staying in a small cabin comunity, with wooden picnic tables set just outside the front doors.


Our Pho delivery arrived. Cookie ordered beef pho and I ordered grilled pork, spring roll, and vermicelli. Cookie finished eating before I could start, so he was getting ready to drop something off at a a friend's house. I couldn't wait to eat. My vermicelli and grilled pork smelled amazing. I took a handful of noodles and hungrily ate it, savouring the mild flavours. As I was ready to pour the fish sauce over my vegetables and noodles, I woke up.

[I am frustrated.]

20240207 I called up Shortbread and we met at a new cake cafe around Yorkdale Mall. Lining the walls and floor-to-ceiling windows were woven baskets filled with golden and chocolate-brown cakes and cupcakes. Scattered around the room, in multiple small groups, were sofas, armchairs, and compact cafe sets of tables and chairs. I stopped at the cashier, ordering a cupcake, without icing. Paying for it, and after I was given it on a plate, I sat down at an armchair arrangement. Shortbread ordered a latte and sat across from me.


As we talked, I finished my cupcake and wanted another. There were several in a clear display case on the wall, so I took one back to my seat. After I'd finished it, I wanted something more. Near the entrance was a basket of un-iced cakes. I took one back, and when I finished that one, I took another.

Sooner than I noticed, the sky outside was navy, and Cookie arrived to pick us up. The cafe was also closing. People lined up at the cashier to pay for their consumptions. When it was my turn, I told the cashier I'd eated a cupcake and two cakes. She was confused, so I said, “the big ones.”

Her face was shocked, as she asked me where did I get them. I repeated, “the big ones.” She excused herself and talked to her manager. I felt I messed up.

 On my phone, I navigated to the cafe's website, looking for the cakes I'd eated. They were small cakes, each $24.00 CAD. The big cakes were $63.00. I looked at Cookie and told him that I hope they charge me for the small cakes, not $63 each.

20230904 i can remember bits of my dream. I was at a country fair, participating in contests. I had fought with a blonde southern lady about being in a spot, and a southern young man about contest entries. He said to vote for “Bo [something]”. At the end of my dream, I was scooping chips into paper bags that I wanted to take back to my mom.

20130705 I can barely remember. I entered a room that I had the impression was a lunch room. Strangers were seated around a few glass tables. I scanned the room, then sat alone at an empty table. I didn't see Spritz in the crowd, but he got up from his seat and whispered in my ear to meet him in the courtyard before he left the room.


I gathered my things and went there. It was dusk, and he was strolling along a poured concrete path, surrounded by tall, tan grasses.

---------

Cookie and I bought a house in a hot, spacious area with almost red-orange dirt. It looked like Strangerville in The Sims series or a desert in Arizona. It was a small house, but we had many acres of dry land.

Some days later, a WWE truck rolled in. They liked the area too and settled in, building a ring and more on the land.

Cookie and I invited our high school friends to see our new home. They came, including Gingerbread.
We ate dinner outside as the sun set, and incandescent bulbs barely lit our dinner plates. I saw someone creeping up behind Gingerbread as we ate. I thought it was John Constantine, but as he came closer, it was Biscotti. We went to the lounge we built, separate from the house, explaining WWE'S presence.

 20230626 All I remember was that I had a large teacup of blooming tea. As the petals opened, the bottom of the cup became a concentrated burnt sienna.

20230315 I was homeless. I travelled to the countryside hoping to find a place to squat. There was a white mansion with a black roof. I walked around it and saw an attachment that hadn't been cleared of cobwebs and dust. I crept in, cleaned it up and began living in it.


At some point, I was paranoid I'd be discovered. I took all of the food I'd brought behind some bushes, beside the wing's window. It didn't rain and I lived somewhat comfortably by the wing's bushes.

20230301 I visited my ChocoChip's new home. The living room was more like a long hall. At the far end was a white grand piano, with rows and rows of pews before it, like in a church. Cookie and I sat in the far back, a row before the last, as we waited for ChocoChip's daughter's piano recital to begin.


Behind us, David Tennant sat with his legs crossed and arms folded over his chest. His sharp suit was dark blue with pinstripes. John Barrowman was leaning from behind his seat, whispering something and giggling. I was in awe and too shy to speak to either of them.

At some point, I asked ChocoChip if there was something I could help her do, as relaxing is not something I know how to do. She gave me the task of baking frozen pizzas. Her oven was the sand-coloured, cheap model from The Sims 4.
