School's in and the shrill, shocking "beep-beep" of the early morning alarm clock makes me forget my dreams. I hate it.
Between Awake and Asleep

"I'm just one person and I've come here on my own" is on a bumper sticker and I'm questioning whether I subconsciously stole my song.

She reserves a stage and he takes me there and shows me around and it's a surprise for me but I don't really get it.

We're learning a stupid dance in cheer to say goodbye. She says who you spend your last time with matters. You agree.
"Some kids never learn their lesson."
"Well, that's a cat."
I just want something from Voodoo Doughnuts but bad things keep happening and no one's really nice except for the stoned owner.
I wanted to have good dreams because it was your last night.

Driving to San Diego and going to Tijuana sounds like the best idea in the world.

I can't attend a party because it's his last night before going to school but she and I are inside the movie The Science of Sleep which invovles stern but allegedly loving robots (who look like real people) who herd children every which way and mess with their dreams. Finding out I am dreaming alarms me, even in my dreams.
Nelly Furtado is somewhere.

Harry Potter is real and we are giants walking along the beach, our huge feet sinking into the very wet sand with every lumbering step.
I bumped you in the night and half woke you up but you were happy to see me.

I'm at Zoe Trope's book reading at Powell's and Please Don't Kill the Freshman has a new cover. Before I get a chance to meet her, I have to go to work. My work consists of trapping someone in a cage and eventually understanding that I can let her live. I can't believe the possibility didn't occur to me earlier. Eventually I make it back to Powell's but Zoe's gone. There's a lady in line who will die in a few hours.
