I'm gonna write about my dream last night. I think I might do this a lot, so when you see a post with a date on it, that's why.

So, to start off, I was in some kind of strange hotel room for part of it, and my dorm for other parts. I guess I had been going to see Avenged Sevenfold somewhere, and wound up in the same hotel they were staying in... And they were like "Why don't you stay with us?!" and I was like "THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND ALSO I LOVE YOU!" only less crazy. Dream-me is slightly more normal than real-me, I guess. Anyways, I didn't go to a concert so maybe I just randomly met them in a hotel somewhere. (wow. Sketchville, anyone?)

But I hung out with them for a super long time. Like, days maybe. Oh! I remember how I got to stay in their room! I had a new A7X tattoo... It was on my right shoulder and it was an "x" shape with words in it... But I don't remember what words. Underneath it had the words "seize the day or die regretting the time you lost." At one point Syn touched it, and it must've been fairly new cause it hurt. In all honesty it was a pretty fugly tattoo. The ones that I'm getting in real life are a lot better looking, and a couple of them have Avenged Sevenfold meanings, too.

I basically sat there and talked to Syn the whole time. All the other band members were there, except Arin. M Shadz was kind of in and out, but he thought my tattoo was cool. Zacky really liked it, and he was the second-most-present member after Syn (who was there the whole time). Also, Johnny was really quiet and I don't think he said a word to me, despite having been in the room the whole time.

It was pretty great talking to Synyster fuckin' Gates.This is the third or fourth time he's been in my dreams; Zacky has been in one other; M Shadz in two others; Johnny in one; and Arin in none. The Rev, of course, has been in my dream at least three times. Admittedly, one of those times was at his own funeral. Still counts.

Anyways. The end of my dream (it wasn't a real end, I just woke up is all) was back at my dorm. Zacky came with me for god only knows what reason (is it important? didn't think so.). And I got signed up for this thing where you get a bunch of band stuff each month... And it only costed me $8 per month! How great is that?! Totally wish it was real. I got a couple of shirts, slightly advanced copies of albums when they came out, and for some reason, naked action-figure-doll-things. Maybe I got clothes in later months, I don't know and I don't care. The doll that month was Zacky, which might explain why he came to my dorm with me but probably not. There was also a doll of some girl, but I don't know who she was or what sort of relevance she had to the band. I'm pretty sure she wasn't anybody's wife, although maybe she was Zacky's.

Another weird thing about my dream--the guys are always literally larger than life. It's as if they were clipart images and someone dragged the corners to make them proportionally bigger. This is probably because I've heroified them in my mind, so when they appear in my dreams, they appear larger and more...heroic. Or it might just be that the Rev really is that fucking huge and I'm scaling everyone else up so he doesn't look weird. Except he wasn't in my dream last night! So that can't be it!

I don't know. I just wanted to write down this dream so as to remember it foREVer. Even though he wasn't there. Anyways, I'm out. I'll see you later.
