7:29 A.M.
I had another barrage of strange and unusual dreams last night.
I had a dream that I was online checking email and I received an IM from a girl who claimed to read about my life online.
She started relating to one of my experiences and thought that she may know me.
She asked me to meet her at the ice skating rink in the mall and I accepted her bizarre invitation.
I got to the mall and walked into the skate shop to rent some skates. The attendant at the counter asked my name and when I told him he escorted me into a private room in the back. He told me to wait a moment and Brittany would be right in to see me.
I was shocked when Brittany Spears walked in and gave me a hug. She told me that she had been reading my diary and relating to my stories for months.
She told me that she used a friend finder search engine to find me using key words and places where events had taken place to locate me.
I was surprised when she told me how easy it is to find anyone on the Internet.
She said she hired a private investigator to go out and make sure I wasn�t a creep or a strange weirdo.
My conversation with her inspired me to try to locate some of my old friends that I had lost touch with.
I went home and searched for many people, but I was most surprised when I was able to locate Jim B.
I found his number and address and called him up.
When he answered the phone he was actually very nice. He agreed to meet me so I gave him my address and invited him over for dinner.
We talked for a bit on the phone and he told me about his life. It sounded like not much had changed in the 7 years that we had been apart. He still listened to the same kinds of music and hung with the same crowd.
I invited him to bring his friends and we set a date to meet.
I saw a handicapped van pull up in the driveway. Curious, I opened the front door and walked out to see who it was. The back door opened and Jim was lowered to the ground with one of those wheelchair elevators.
I was shocked.
He was in a wheelchair.
My first reaction was intense sympathy, and a sinking feeling in my gut.
Not only was he in a wheelchair, Mike and Matt were also in wheelchairs.
They came inside and quickly explained their situation.
Matt had been diagnosed with diabetes and his legs were amputated. In order to make him more comfortable with his situation, Mike and Jim both bought their own wheelchairs to ride in for when they were with Matt.
Although I felt bad for Matt, I was pleasantly surprised that Jim was ok.
We talked for a while and the doorbell rang.
It was Brittany. She had stopped by to say hello again. She brought some sort of cake and asked if I wanted to go to her dance lessons with her.
Mikes face lit up when he saw Brittany. She was flattered by his response to her but she walked straight over to Matt and gave him a big hug.
She made it clear that she was short for time so I agreed to meet her later for the lessons.
Matt also expressed an urge to get going.
We all said our goodbyes and walked out the front door. As I was walking Jim to the van he leaned in for one last hug and told me to call him later.
I was shocked.
My heart skipped.
He kissed my cheek and it felt like an electric shock.
*^*^*
I woke up to the damn alarm blaring.
�Just one more minute� Just let me sleep a few more minutes��
*^*^*^*^*^*^*
God, what I wouldn't give to have a pleasant meeting with Jim.....
