I 'ship ships. Seriously. Jack/Black Pearl, Mal/Serenity, Han/Millenium Falcon, Wedge and his X-Wings. Whether elegant, cantankerous, deadly, worn-in, swift, beloved, there's something oddly endearing about these guys and their ships. I think it's the way they seek freedom with them, and the ship becomes a character unto herself in the process.

Perhaps I'm just strange. That's always a valid possibility.

I have a wonderful way of dreaming. I dream long adventures, sometimes self-insertion, sometimes in 3rd person. I dream in color, though people say you can't. I have a vivid memory of dreaming, where I came out of a building and rode up the side on one of those lifts with no side, and a glowing butterfly was hovering in midair all the way up, with everything a green garden behind. It always irritates me so that I can't remember them better, because they're like good stories: witty dialogue (my brain accomplishes things I can't, it seems), plot twists, ensemble casts, and "thrillin' heroics." This is probably why I don't wake up well ;)

Dreams

That's really cool. I almost always dream in third person POV, like I'm watching a really good movie, but I don't think I know anyone else who dreams like that in RL. And not being able to remember them sucks. Do you try to write them down after you wake up ever?

Occasionally I try to, like this summer when I wrote a few down in a dream journal, but most of the time I forget them immediately upon waking. I half-remember certain scenes/images, but not much else, and that usually slips away after an hour or so.
