So, i have interesting dreams. when i was a kid, i adored the Batman movies, and i was in love with Robin. i used to have dreams about being their sidekick. more recently, however, i've been having dreams concerning Madrigals. and everything that could possibly go wrong.
The first dream i can remember about this was rather recent. i dreamed that we were singing Gaudete, which is a proclamation song. and our second song in the dinner. anyway, all of us knew the words and the melody before even getting into Madrigals-it's just that common with people like us. so this makes my dream even more ridiculous.
i dreamt that we all forgot the words. all of us. well, at the beginning, i didn't. but Mrs. Prather told Blake to sing the solo at the beginning, and he just sang jibberish. and she got mad, and had someone else do it, but they couldn't either, and no one could remember the stupid words, and it got to me, and i'd been standing there thinking, "Geez, these people are idiots!" and then i opened my mouth to sing...
and...
couldn't remember the words. and Blake, our king, got fed up... and quit the choir.
then i had a dream that Caleb got called into Mrs. Prather's office, and he walked out, looked around solemnly, and said, "Guys. this is my last week in this choir."
and then i had a dream that Emily quit.
(This is totally not as cool as last year, when i had a dream that we were being attacked, so Mrs. Prather gave us guns, and we were in a paintball arena killing people. that. was. awesome. but hard to explain in text.)
anyway. back to Batman. i'm very fond of Batman, just so you know. and, for the sake of the story, i need to tell you this. i have a husband. in Madrigals, silly. see, every year, Mrs. Prather sits us at tables in pairs, and the guy next to you is the one you're married to. and you write your story and choose your names together. last year, i had an awful husband. he spoke all of, like, 3 words to me. longest conversation we had was about how stupid Bel Canto looked when they were singing, and, like... thrusting? i don't even know, they just looked dumb. (No offense, Bel Canto, you guys sounded BEAUTIFUL!)
well, this year, i'm married to Dalton. and at the concert on Sunday, we were in our Madrigal dinner outfits. he walked past me and flared out his cape and told me he felt like Batman. (lovelove.) well, that led to a discussion about Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, which is an awesome comic Ben got that is Batman in Victorian times, and he's solving the Jack the Ripper crimes. :D well, at the second concert, i was standing in the back in my dress, freezing, and he walked by and told me his cape was warm, and i informed him that i wished i had a cape. he looked at me for a moment, removed his cape, walked up behind me and hooked his cape around my neck. then he said, "There. now you can be Batman."
Oh yes, this will be a good year. :D
