a) the setup: jackson and i were on a caribbean vacation with some friends from my mfa program. we had to share a bathroom with one of my friends and her husband
b) after swimming in the ocean all four of us went in to use the shower (this is not a sex dream, you'll see in...)
c) the tub part of the shower overflowed onto the tile part outside but this was nbd. what was a bd (omg is this what peter'bd' stands for?) was when we discovered that dozens of small fish and marine life had 'camped out' in our suits while we swam and were now swimming around in the water in and outside of the tub with us
d) slightly alarming were the 5+ 'puffer fish' included in this aquarium, but they seemed peaceful enough
e) as i stood drying my hair, i started to notice some rather large fish 'appearing' in 'the mix'
f) including a 'moray eel' with blue eyes and gigantic clear teeth (mutations?), which i watched circle my ankles and swim off
g) this, i didn't like so much. naturally i scaled the bare fiberglass wall of the tub (climbing over all my friends to do so, survival of the fittest style) and 'hung' from the ceiling
h) moray eel didn't appreciate my reaction. it circled around, ignoring everyone else to make a vertical leap out of the shallow water with jaw open intending to bite off my face
i) it missed by a few inches but 'geared up' for strike #2. eel was getting p. furious at this point
j) grabbed [or someone found and put in my hand] a full deer park water bottle containing solid ice to use as a weapon, a lot of clamoring from friends and jackson about how to best use this, i was still hanging from the ceiling at this point
k) moray eel struck, i bashed the wall beneath me repeatedly with water bottle and missed, felt sure the eel had bitten off my face
l) looked down and despite feelings of frustration and feeling 100% sure i missed the moray eel on repeated attempts at 'bashing' (via distinct feeling that the eel was laughing at me) saw magenta colored blood smeared across the wall below me, the water bottle and all of the other walls
m) looked in the mirror, face was still intact, woke up in disbelief

6. tonight is date night with jackson, we're gonna watch shame on skype
7. read:
- no, not today by jordan stempleman, did a goodreads review
- a lot of posts from frances dinger's blog on sustainability (http://to-put-it-simply.tumblr.com/)
- 'best of baltimore' article in baltimore magazine, august 2012 issue
8. listened to:
- beach house (had forgotten but remembered today via 'best of baltimore' article in baltimore magazine that i was friends with alex scally 'irl' between 2002-2004 pre-beach house, like he and my friend becky and this other guy and i would go to 'panera bread' together or shows in teens' basements until his friend asked me out for valentine's day and then flaked out and we stopped hanging out together lololol)
- oh god, it's all coming back to me, like the time his friend's mom picked us up and spoke to us 'in tongues' because becky asked her to because he told us that she did that sometimes
- would 'reveal' his friend's name but i have forgotten it (maybe 'justin'?)
- pretty sure becky knew them from her church group
- seems entirely possible also that there are multiple alex scally's with brown hair from baltimore, alex scally from beach house would have been ~19 when we were 14, jesus
- reviewed becky's friend list on facebook and yea, definitely a different alex scally, damn, disappointing, the one we were friends with is definitely 'worse for the wear' (wanna keep pretending i was friends with 'the real' alex scally but this seems embarrassing)
- did know 'the real' all time low in high school, idk, is this cool
9. ate/drank:
- 1 can diet cherry coke
- hummus sandwich with shredded carrot, lettuce, tomato, avocado on 'double fiber' wheat bread
- assorted fries/onion rings from leftovers of parents' dinner last night
- 1 glass water
- 6 'low fat' ravioli with tomato sauce
- 2 pieces garlic bread
- salad, small amount probably
- 1 'big' glass milk with ovaltine
- banana with nutella
