dream

I dreamt I was at an Irish pub with Gloira and Brooke and became good friends with the owner.  After having a good night there, Gloria, Brooke and I left to go to the beach.  By the time we got there, it was light somehow, and there were swarms of people enjoying the fresh air.  As I was walking and singing with my friends, I saw someone that I'd wondered about, someone charismatic and adventurous, someone I haven't seen since high school; J.L. Gardner!  Of course I was excited to see him, but he was with a deadbeat best friend and a bitchy fat girlfriend, so I contained my enthusiasm.  

Something was quite different about him, he didn't smile as much, didn't run, jump, or play around.  On a country road, I started singing a Franki Valli song, knowing if there was still a trace of the boy he used to be he would join in - no ifs, ands, or buts, he would.  Surely enough, there was still some J.L. in him because we sung together for a bit.  Then, nearing the beach again, he saw his bitchy girlfriend and worried she would be jealous, so I faked that I was doing yoga.  The girlfriend and deadbeat both joined in for some yoga, and I know I saw Kirsten at some point and smiled.  After this odd reconnection, I went home (but was actually at the Dinino's house) and Ted was playing "Waterfalls" by TLC on his computer, saying he "misses his dear seeeester".
