sleep adventures

it hit me the other morning after waking up from the 5th or so nightmare that I've had this week that I am just not normal in my sleep...so here are some stories of crazy adventures I've had in my sleep:

1)one night at Capernwray... me: "rainbows! crap! rainbows!"
karin: "what? beth?"
I didn't reply but instead proceeded to push up with my feet, (I was on the bottom bunk) springing karin and her mattress into the air...I woke up to the sound of "ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" and quickly put her back down. [the dream I had been entertaining involved my roomates locking me in a tunnel and taking away my icecream...] so naturally what could I do but push up at the ceiling? conclusion: I am slightly crazy.

2)there were alot of nights at Capernwray where I would just stand up beside my bed randomly and when questioned as to what I was doing, I would mutter something like "wow" and go back to sleep..

3)the most memorable times of sleepwalking, however, involve climbing into other peoples' beds..[I think when one is asleep, our emotions go to an extreme...] in florida I was working at a camp and crossed the room in my sleep and thought someone was in my bed..I got so pissed off that I was about to cuss them out when I woke up for real and realized my bed was def not on that side of the room....at capernwray I climbed into my roomate's bunk (karin again--poor girl) and felt her leg and thought "ahh! flesh!" and climbed back into my bed...the final time involved my roomate heather and altho I didn't climb all the way I was completely confused because I woke up in front of a window (there were 2 in our room) and immediately assumed it was mine..felt around on the bottom bed for my pillow when I heard a voice, "beth?" I drew back and stood up (confused and scared) "yes?" I said in a little voice. "are you alright?" she asked. "I can't find my bed", I replied, feeling more and more like a little lost kid. She took me back across the room and settled me in...haha...aw man that was a funny night..

4)when I was a kid I went sleepwalking one night into the downstairs bathroom. my parents were sitting on the couch watching t.v . they saw me walk by, enter the bathroom, flush the toilet and return back upstairs...hmm

5) I've woken up a bunch of times somewhere in my room, feeling confused that I wasn't sure where I was, and then feeling immediately frustrated knowing that I had to find my way back to my bed.

6) the most memorable nightmare/sleepadventure thing of this past week involved me standing up on my bed, pulling stuff off my windowsil, with the intention of climbing out to get away from whatever was scaring me in my dream-like state...I jolted awake before I could open the window, and thought "man the window's too scary to climb out of at night".....and then "wait, why am I going to climb out"...and then, "dang it's another dream"..and then I went back to sleep...argh....but no nightmare last night...thank goodness..

Fancy-Smancy-date

--it seems that Jay and I have started a trend for unusual dates because the long-awaited fancy-smancy date of the 29th was far from normal...:grins: don't get me wrong, it was fabulous...but it seemed like humour had just decided to invite itself along in all the most unexpected times...haha...
--the morning began with 2 showers because my hair wasn't working the first time and I sound like such a girl admitting that but oh well I'm confessing...I was creeping up the stairs for my 2nd shower when I caught a glimpse of someone in the front window..thinking it was just Naomi I edged around the corner, only to find it was Christian Huizenga working away in our front yard..crap--I shot back around my corner and decided fine--I would just make a run for it..shower accomplished I headed back down to my room when I realized, oh junk there are windows in my room, hopefully the huizengas aren't in the backyard...walked into my room and saw steven huiz. walk past...oh shoot...so basically ended up standing on my bed, flattened against the wall, trying desperately to stuff a pillow into the window to block it without being seen...that in itself began the hilarious day...
--Jay showed up with his parents in tow and I was quite pleased to greet him and see his stunned smile at my hotness :grins: ah who am I kidding..but he did look a lil speechless at first..haha..took pics on the lawn and then we were off..
--our first stop was for dinner at the Hilton..steak=ooh la la...kinda funny, us country bumpkins (as Jay's dad put it) eating at this posh place, taking goofy pics and most likely ticking everyone off...I managed to start off dinner with my special smoothness, by opening my menu and knocking Jay's knife onto the floor..the waitress was on top of things however..no worries...dessert was swell..chocolate sin cake...we were angels however no worries :grins: of course no date goes smoothly, and our waitress gave the suprise of the night away when she happily announced "Your shuttle is ready, enjoy your show!" and Jay and Mr. Donor silently fumed and hurrily ushered Mrs. Donor and I out the door before she could spill anymore..
--as predicted we ended up at "Lord of the Rings" the musical...splendid splendid musical, amazing music/crazy dancing with tables and wild short hobbits/an awesome stage that moved people up and down and into holes and what not/and nothing beats sitting next to a boy you really like, holding his hand, and occasionally slipping off into thoughts about him...altho course I was mostly watching the show :grins:
--after the show we headed out back into the countryside and Jay revealed the final plan...blankets+spot to sit+us......only part he didn't mention is that his parents planned to join us...haha in fact he had intended for his parents to find their own spot..but they didn't seem to pick up on it...:chuckles: and we all ended up sitting on our new house's porch, with his parents going on about something and Jay whispering in my ear "I want to run away" ...haha...sure noone wants their parents on the date but haha it sure makes for a funny story....
