pope dreams...

first of all, i couldn't fall asleep last night. i could have been the coffee i had at 8pm, or it could have simply been that i wasn't tired - either way, i couldn't sleep.

i was really excited about my new down comforter and the really cool red duvet i got this weekened too - my bed feels so different, so cozy, so warm.

then when i finally did start to doze i was thirsty, or hungry (i didn't eat dinner last night), or i had to go to the bathroom. i even got up at midnite and watched tv, i can't even remember what i watched.

i think i was sleeping later in the night when the strangest dream came to me... i was hangin' out with the cardinals in rome, you know, picking-out a new pope. i was starting to get really friendly with this one guy (not in a gay way, in a very buddy-buddy way, although he WAS very cute), and wouldn't you know it... he got chosen to be the next pope!

the facinating thing, though, was the demeanor behind the scenes in the vatican. the cardinals weren't all "oh, holy art thou, we much choose a holy father from our ranks, lets be all solemn and holy-ish..."

no!

instead, they were all, "hey! how are doin?" "man, i haven't seen you like, forever!"

and when my new friend became the new pope, everyone was cheering and like going crazy like in the lockerroom of the super bowl winners... and this was just the cardinals!

it was really cool though, i was, like SO excited that i was there and a part of this new pope thing... my new friend (who happened to be the new pope also) turned around and even gave me a special blessing for being his friend... i knelt before him and bowed my head, and we all laughed and giggled because we were so excite that this guy was the new pope!

i just remember thinking that i was SO cool, i mean, the pope was a friend of mine!

i know... what a strange dream! and i'm not even catholic!!!
