Just kidding! A better question would be, "How did I end up getting in so early?!?" The answer is simple. I got up early. Why did I get up early? I went to sleep early. Why did I go to sleep early? I ate early. Why did I eat early? I went back home early. Why did I go home early? I thought it was going to rain (which it didn't BTW). I think that answers all of those questions. Had I answered "I thought it was going to rain" to the first question, I think some people would've been confused.
Ahh! A new filter in my air conditioning unit. One of the green men came by to change all of the filters in our office area. I don't think this will make that much of a difference to my allergies, but anything helps I guess.
I had the strangest dream last night. Actually I guess it was this morning. Hmm, I might go into the details later, but first off, I have to reply to some of these comments.

I've been snooping around and it seems as if Jax has put up some updates onto her page. (Continuing with her shotgun approach.) Speaking of shotguns, well.. not really, but here's a little toy that's sparking debate.
Oops! I screwed up the date thing on today's entry. It's fixed now.

What the?!? The fire alarm in C2 just went off (again). Is this a test? We've been getting a whole lot of alarms recently (like last month and April). Considering that I hadn't heard any alarms before in the past few years that I've been at school, this is rather strange..
We went on the last pop run during my stay here after lunch (I was taken out to Time Square). Man, it'll be odd after I leave. I wonder if things will run smoothly.. (heh, heh).
I definitely have to make it back to Waterloo on the 15th, there's a defence I should go do and a CTRL-A show to watch. The only problem being..
Well, let's just say there may be a conflict of interest. We'll see.

There are some pictures up here and here. Can you find me?
Crap. There was a problem with the search thing that weirDo brought to my attention (although Laz might've noticed it first). I hope it's fixed. But I think I had a problem with the original method as well. Gosh darned it!

I dreamt that I was in the middle of the world of Final Fantasy VIII. The environment was nothing that I had seen before, and I thought that it may have been some sort of secret level. The sky was pulsating with psychadelic colours and I was standing in the middle of a circle of pillars. It was very Stonehenge-like, except for the radiant pool in the middle of the enclosure. The fountain feeding the pool was gushing out sparkling water, reflecting the strange hues from the sky. I was mesmerized by the sight, so I barely noticed my companions: Squall, Selphie, and Rinoa. After wandering around the area, we realized that there was no way to escape from the area. It was as if we were surrounded by some sort of magical barrier. In a sudden display of rashlessness, I jumped into the pool, and fell, into another area. Here the night sky was clear, with barely the hint of any clouds. Looking around, I noticed that Squall and Selphie had followed me through, but no Rinoa. Looking up, one of them (I think it was Selphie) commented,
"It'll stay like this until someone changes it."
I instinctively knew that I could change it. I suddenly willed in a storm, and to my horror, clouds began to blow in and blot out the sky.
My memory fades at this point in time, but I do remember finding myself in the middle of a road with the rest of the surviving party members, surrounded on both sides by either high walls (painted white) or small houses. In the middle of the road was a long line of stuffed animals. They were arranged in front of a large white warehouse type building, which I knew was some sort of studio. As I stared in amazement, the scene shifted, changing from the computer generated world of the game and becoming an exact replica of the previous scene except in real life. That's when I noticed that I was holding a little doll of Rinoa in my hands. She must've been transformed during the change or during the jump into the pool, but I had no idea how to change her back. From out of the corner of my eye, I saw the real life actors for each of the characters walk towards the studio, waving in my direction as if they were being hailed by an audience. (Yeah, I know there aren't real life actors for these guys, but they looked real!) The actress playing Rinoa was the last in line, so I followed them into the building and caught up with the actress who played Rinoa. She thanked me when I gave her the Rinoa doll and I left the building.
Taking a couple of steps out of the building, I realized that I had made a mistake. I shouldn't have given her the doll! I quickly hurried back inside, and slipped by two guards that were hanging around in the main warehouse area (there was a lot of junk lying around - very warehousey). I found the way to the door that the actors were walking through (at the time I gave away the Rinoa doll) and told the two scientists there (who looked awfully like those Half-Life scientists) that I was looking for Selphie, or Quistis. The let me pass and I walked through the door and into a very small room, about the size of a large closet, that had green boxes stacked on either side, making it very narrow and cramped. There were three guys in there who were in the process of destroying the doll. Well, they were planning on destroying the doll, but they were actually in the middle of cleaning up the room. One of them mentioned that
"Had we not been cleaning up.."
I took the Rinoa doll and headed out. Before I got out of the room, one of the guys told me,
"You know, she really does love you."
(Whoa.) By this point in time, the guards had realized what was going on, and they started making a ruckus. I realized that I was trapped inside and was trying to figure a way out when this car from the first act (the first part of my dream) crashed through the.. well, I'm not sure how it got in, but I jumped into the car and it sped off.
I don't remember who was driving the car, but I think it was Quistis. When I looked down to check on the doll, I noticed that it had grown to full size, but she was still limp and lifeless. I shook her a couple of times, shouting out her name, when I realized that I had been calling her Riona all of this time. That's when her eyes opened.
"I said your name right."
Anyway, it didn't take long before we were being chased down by cars dispatched from the studio. To evade our persuers, the driver turned off the road and headed towards the city. The view was amazing as we drove down the slope of the grassy hill. I saw the spires of the futuristic looking metropolis below (which was a mix between Reboot and the Esthar city). Looking back down at Rinoa, who I was holding in my lap, I saw that she was still not in the clear yet. Her image began fading in and out of existance. I realized that it wouldn't be long before she disappeared forever!
That's when this brilliant idea struck me. I could save her to a file! That way, I could keep her safe while I figure out a way to..
..and then I woke up.
