Oops

Guess I shouldn’t leave letterhead in my printer overnight, cus it could be used to print out a portion of someone’s grad school application essay. The grammar in this one isn’t as tight, but the spelling is good. Spell-check probably. Still no name.

I was lighting candles in my dreams last night. Using one of those long lighter thingies. Many of the wicks refused to light. Then I dropped a stone Yin-yang candle holder (which I actually own). And it broke. First I noticed something was wrong with the white side, then I realized the black part was broken too. I tried to put it back together, but I couldn’t. Don’t have to look too hard to find symbolism there, but I don’t think it actually means anything. Just a dream about breaking something. Could have been a ceramic Bart Simpson piggy bank, which I bought in Tijuana a million years ago. I think his head broke off before I even got him home.
