psychoanalyze this one, sucka

i'm going to colorado on wednesday... whooo hooooo!

but alas, i'm faced with a dilemma. i'm flying there to be with my family to celebrate christmas, and considering how rare it is that we're all together, i want to spend as much time with them as possible. but, there are some people in denver that i'd give an arm and at least a chunk of my leg to see as well. hm, dilemma indeed.

BUT i had a cracked out dream last night that i'm positive holds the solution to my problem.

so in this dream, i was the leader of some underground rebellion that involved cats, but only the good kitties. (there were evil kitties on the bad guy's side as well.)  anyway, the horribly evil dominating force that was trying to crush my rebellion was moving in to raid a meeting we were holding in suburbia. thankfully the nicely manicured yards and gargantuan houses provided a lot of nooks and crannies to hide in, so the majority of the rebels, kitties and humans alike, scattered and hid in hot tubs, gazebos, and ridiculously big pre-made children's forts.

this must have been a high class suburban sprawl because they had a building of fancy schmancy condominiums, which is what i ran to with an orange tabby. using ninja-like speed and agility, my compadre and i scaled the first two stories and broke into a third story unit. alas, there was an old lady with badly died red hair in this condo and we didn't know if we could trust her so we began to stealthily sneak down to the condo below. unfortunately we were stumbled upon in this process by a chubby mediterranean woman... or was she latino?

anyway she happened to be sympathetic to our cause and suggested that i split myself in two to give me better chances of survival. after exclaiming egads or by jove or something else along those lines, i decided that this was a pretty neato idea, and after making a serious looking face there appeared beside me my other half (which happened to look like an adolescent native-american male... nevermind that i'm pretty sure that my original self in this dream was an adolescent caucasian male, but if i have to dream i am a boy at least i was a decently good-looking one).

so, all of that nonsense was to say that i could spend time with both my family and my friends while i'm in colorado if only i would exclaim "egads!" and make a serious looking face to split me in two. i'd send the native-american boy to my friends in denver because i have a feeling they'd be a lot more open about that sort of thing.

and yes, my dreams are usually this in-depth and ridiculous. aren't you glad you can't look into my head :) oh, in case you were wondering, the dream ended in a fantastically suspenseful showdown with the leader of the bad guys, who looked eerily similar to colonel sanders in a professors cardigan...
