i was visiting people in prison, but in order to do that i had to jump into this round cage thing that was the jail on display for the public to view. then i would only get a few seconds before it started to be lifted up and id have to jump out at the right moment in order to grab onto this streetlamp and swing onto a nearby roof.<br /><br />then the dream switches to a work dream, where im really frazzled and all of the sudden i just tell my dispatcher im quitting and hand over my bag and my radio and all my trips. <br /><br />then theres a part where a bunch of dogs cross the street really fast except its a really busy street so one of them gets hit, and all of the sudden its like i travel back in time in the dream to where my dispatcher is just getting out of his car. like its a chance for me to save the car-hit dog by not quitting. but instead i instantly quit again, and hes all confused and im like "whatever man, i just quit. thats it, i quit."<br /><br /><br /><br />i think i need a new job. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:jennlegs:44289 2008-04-11T03:11:54Z 2008-04-11T03:11:54Z going to see cat power tonight. whoa, never thought that would happen. a boy bought me a

a person's lifespan. While a person's number of actual homo/heterosexual encounters may be easy to categorize, their actual orientation may be completely different. Simple labels like "homosexual", "heterosexual", and "bisexual" need not be the only three options available to us.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youthnetsouthampton.org.uk/breakout/kleingrid.php" target="_blank">Take the quiz</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:jennlegs:40960 2008-02-01T11:36:48Z 2008-02-01T11:36:48Z quit my job today (yesterday?
