evile a couple of icky dreams. One, I was on a bus with my friend Nikiyoy and 9 other people. They sent me into a BBQ place to get food for everyone. (niki offered to help or come with me and I told her no. stupid move..) I studied the menu and pondered and dithered. I knew they were waiting and I knew that no one really wanted sides but I didn't know how much meat to get....so I kept getting in line but leaving the line before I got to the front because I didn't know how much to order. Another 'ask culture vs guess culture' dream where my brain is trying to get over that hurdle and ASK when we do not KNOW. Agonizing, deeply shaming, terrible. ASK. and ACCEPT OFFERS OF HELP, stupid.
Next dream, I was riding on a train? and it derailed and was all messed up on the side of the tracks. This guy (horribly scarred, face with big stitches all over) showed up and said that we'd have to wait for a union-certified mechanic to come and fix it but there was a big park and all these pecan trees and hundreds of giant pecans all over the ground. My cousin Weez and her kids were there and we decided to pick up pecans while we waited for the train to be repaired. My sleeping brain likes puns and literal things like this--the message from this one obviously being 'you are a train wreck, you are nuts!' lol.
back here in regular life, Thax and I have been watching _SexEducation_ on Netflix. Season 4 has jumped teh shark a bit and gone off into lala land, the college and most of the interactions are rom-com / after school special ish rather than anything real. Most shows that depict teenagers tend to do so from some fuzzy bubble of nostalgia and or wish-fulfilment rather than as it was. Anyway last nights episode was about Maeve's mother's funeral and scattering her ashes. Even though it was unrealistic, recent events re; my own life, stepdad's death, etc, made it emotional for me to watch.
So far the most 'real' show about childhood/teenager life is _Freaks and Geeks_. There was one episode in particular about the nerd kid who has basically hours after school while his single mom is still at work...honestly, I don't remember it, but it had both Thax and me in tears because of how real it was. Anyway..... bleh.
train wreck. nuts. Thanks, brain o' mine.

Date: 2024-01-25 01:37 pm (UTC)I had to stop watching sex education. Season 2 was grueling for me and I felt that the whole season could have been skipped except for the final episode (which I thought was the only good S2 episode). Hugs for the emotional response to their recent grieving episode.
