Don't you hate waking up with the emotional residue from a dream? For years and years, I used to have dreams about disappointing other people, usually for things I didn't do. I'd wake up and feel terrible, wondering 'how am I going to make people respect me again?' I don't know why the dreams started or why they went away.

As for social interaction and finding a man, it seems to me you've been doing better than you think. Since I've been reading this diary, you've met at least three men. Not all of them worked out, but so what, you're out there doing it. (As opposed to other people, ahem.)

And by the way, Tequila does not taste like rubbing alcohol!!! (Sorry, I have to stick up for my beloved agave.)

That's such a great way to put it, emotional residue from a dream. Dreams often linger for me for most of the day - they seem so real! I've woken up horribly disappointed that something I dreamed hadn't really happened (I was in love, or given money, etc.), or terrifically relieved that it didn't (failing tests, owing horrible amounts of money, etc.) I remember as a kid I dreamed that I had a device that I put under my pillow and it would turn my dreams into comics books. Damn, was I disappointed when I woke up to find nothing under my pillow!

What I also find frustrating is when I'll dream that I'm angry at someone, and I wake up, and my anger still feels so justified - it's hard to shake off.

Thanks for reminding me that I have been out there and meeting men! I think the whole Richard-finding-my-diary-thing has had me bummed out and cynical, as if him turning out to be a grade-A asshole has anything to do with me!

I have never been a huge tequila fan, just because I've never had anything other than the really low-grade stuff. Although throw it in a frozen maragarita, and I'm happy!
