sweet dreams are made of these

i'd like to take this opportunity to let every one know that i think i've finally found a way to harness my psychic abilities. contradictory statement, i know. if i were actually psychic i wouldn't think, i would know... what ever.

in the past week, i've had dreams (or premonitions, will you) that have been eerily similar to future real life occurrences. for instance, the other night i had a dream that our former roommate Jordan B Nice came over and tried to hug me, Nikki and Danielle. the next day, i went to the mailbox only to find our old house key and a handwritten note from Mr. Nice inside.

i then had another dream in which Nikki took a small container of diced onions out of the fridge and asked me why i hadn't eaten my onions yet, to which i told her they weren't mine - they were Dave's. this morning Dave was in the kitchen making breakfast and he couldn't find onions. Nikki had to dig through the fridge and then pulled a container of pre-diced onions out JUST like she did in my dream.

not impressed yet? fine. i'm not psychic. i've had a weird week full of coincidences.

but while we're on the subject of dreams, let's talk about Nikki's dream from the other night...

so she's lost in the airport - doesn't know what gate her flight is leaving from and is rushing to try and find out when she drops her phone. it breaks into (fixable) pieces, and she gathers all of them up with the exception of the battery, which fell just out of her reach. as she's heading over to get it, one of those little carts that they always drive around in runs over the battery so she's just lost the use of her cell phone. this is potentially a problem because she's flying to New York, where ironically her ex-bf Matt is supposed to pick her up, but she won't be able to call Matt when she gets there because she doesn't have a phone anymore. she gets panicky. she keeps walking through the airport where she randomly sees BJ Novak (Ryan from The Office). so she runs up to BJ and the conversation goes something like this:

N: i know i don't know you, and this is kind of weird but i broke my cell phone and i really need to call my mom to get my friend's number so that they can pick me up when i land. can i please use your phone?
BJ: NO. i don't know you, this is weird, and you can't use my phone.
N: i always knew you were a dick!

that was really my favorite part of the dream, but for posterity's sake the rest of it goes something like this: she finally finds a payphone and calls her mom and is crying while telling her what has been happening. while she's on the phone, she overhears on the loudspeaker that she's missed her flight and i don't really remember the rest. i just love that she saw BJ Novak in the airport and that he was an ass. i also think it's funny how The Office rules our lives and we no longer go anywhere on Thursday nights because we can't risk not seeing it. last night's episode was FANTASTIC for you poor saps that missed it. go spend $1.99 on iTunes and buy it. you won't regret it.

TGIF.

(disclaimer: i do not personally know, nor have i ever seen BJ Novak in person. i do not think he really is a dick, nor am i really calling him one in this entry of my blog)
