Washing dishes on a conveyor belt in a bus depot?!

Last night, I had a weird dream in which my friends and I were all lost at a bus depot. There was a brown-and-red tile floor, and if we turned down a ramp a certain way, it took us to the station for Powell River. The stations were clearly labeled with the destination city, something which I wish would happen in real life! Ian and Sean were with us, so we had to contain the kids' excitement. Before we could get to the station for Powell River, we were stymied by confusing directions for the ones to Chilliwack and Vancouver. We met a bunch of other kids at a gift shop in the depot, including Jennifer Liang. They wanted to buy a lot of Christmas things and beverages, but we didn't know if we wanted the kids to have a sugar rush.

Suddenly, Auntie Stella (Tracy's mom) appeared and told us all to help her wash dishes on the conveyor belt. This somehow made sense to us, so we went to help. We were washing knives and such one at a time until someone told us to use the clear blue tubs full of soap for multiple dishes at a time. Things were proceeding smoothly when Auntie Stella took our tubs away and told us to just go since we were disappointing her. Bewildered, we left to go to the bookstore. Met my sister there - she was going through a LOT of tabloids, comic books, magazines, puzzle books, and more! Later, we went on a bus that went the wrong way through a historical district of town with plenty of old buildings that had spires. We alerted the driver that he was going the wrong way, and after getting belligerent with us (POWER TRIP!), he finally went back to the bus depot. After finally getting some stickers at the bookstore, we herded all the kids and our gear off to Powell River! That was where the dream ended.

I blame this one on going to the 7-11, browsing the magazines, my sister's hiding MAXIM from the kids, seeing Tracy's mom in the back parking lot, and seeing Eric's photo of the Portland bus depot. (he made me look for clues, darn it! :P) Then again, there was also a bit of talking about Chilliwack and Powell River too, so that might have contributed just a bit. No idea where the washing dishes came from, though!


I got gold Christmas cards from Carmina (on_the_ground), Kadri (bad_habit), and Jennifer (tehgreenfairy) this afternoon! YAY FOR THAT! Shark bookmark, ramblings about Estonia, LJ, replies, cinema, and such are SO GOOD! I say if someone doesn't know much about me, they can always ask OR friend me! Hee hee. :D
