Old Post Update
Today I imported in some old posts from my private journal that I thought should be shared with the whole world! (Or at least the 2 people who will ever read this blog.) This includes all posts from 3/29/09 and earlier.

Miniature Astronauts and Underground Fires
I had some crazy dreams last night.
I was on a spaceship orbiting Earth (or a similar planet) and half of the group went outside. They were doing surprisingly well for not having put on space suits. But then something happened and they got shrunk to about Smurf size. They got stuck outside and came up to the glass window, banging on it and yelling to be let in. One of the guys in the ship with me freaked out and thought we were under attack. He tried to shoot them through the glass with a strange harpoon-ish weapon. It broke the glass and half of the little guys were thrown off. They were hanging onto each other trying to climb back up to the window sill, which could slide up like a normal house window. They managed to get most of the women and children up onto the sill before the guy at the front lost his grip and they all fell towards Earth. Then I was one of them and I was falling miles and miles down to the ground. I was panicking and staring in amazement at how huge the Earth was. I was trying to figure out what we could do, but I couldn't think straight. I think I couldn't breath because of the rush of thin air. I continued falling for a minute or two before passing out.
Next thing I knew I was walking along a forest trail at a park. My dad and our dog Maggie was a little ways ahead on the path. Suddenly I noticed there was an open fire in a pit just to the side of the trail. I looked around, but no one seemed to be camping there, and I thought it was very irresponsible for someone to have lit a fire and then just left it burning. Another guy came along the trail and together we decided we'd just smother it with leaves and dirt and stamp it out. We did this, but then a few yards further on, up a slope, we saw three smaller fires burning up from the ground. As we moved up the little hill, we encountered more and more small fires that seemed to be coming from inside the hill itself. Obviously there was some sort of cave or burrow in the hill that was on fire, and we couldn't stop it. I ran to get the ranger from his cabin on the other side of the hill. It was the guy who guarded the gap in the wall in the movie Stardust. He and a woman ranger came around to look at what was going on. The old man started to climb the hill, and the woman told me not to worry, he used to go to Iceland and stop geysers or something. I climbed up too to see if I could help. At one point I felt the ground shake and I jumped out the way just as fire shot out of the ground like a volcano. Then there was a little girl stuck on the top of the hill. I helped her down to her family, but as I was helping her down the hill was more like a pile of blankets and couch cusions like a fort we used to build in the basement. Finally my Dad showed up to see what was going on and I had to keep Maggie from sniffing around the burning holes in the hill.
Then suddenly I was at home watching TV. I saw Carl Winslow from Family Matters doing the splits in spandex tights in some dancing-with-the-stars-esque reality show, and someone said "See Daddy, he can still do it, why can't you?"
Then I woke up.
