In which the cats got it on

Toby was sleeping on the couch, and I sat down next to her. She stretched out and I saw that she was nursing a litter of kittens. I was totally befuddled by this, since she had been spayed years ago. Then S told me that Mia was actually a boy and neither cat had been fixed, which is why we had kittens. We decided that we would auction the kittens off once they were weaned and use the money to get the cats fixed (for some reason, spaying the cats was going to be hugely expensive and we expected to get a lot of money for the litter). The kittens were already big enough to run around and they were ridiculously cute. I kind of wanted to keep them, except that I didn't want so many cats in the house. They were all orange, even though neither Mia nor Toby is orange.

In which I go to a party and meet Jim from 'The Office'

I was at a party in Athens with my friends M and J. They were going to meet up with our other pal B and I was stressed about it because B and I aren't speaking. The next thing I knew, B and I were walking down the street together, going to the gas station for more cigarettes. We were laughing and talking and decided to put on different masks (the party was now a masquerade party) so no one would recognize us when we got back. We were walking through narrow alleys with cobblestone streets back toward the party (don't remember if we ever got the cigarettes) and then I remembered that B and I had never talked about anything and that we couldn't hang out yet. I told her I had to leave and she offered to take my mask so that no one would know I wasn't there, but I told her just to tell everyone to call me when they were ready to go.

Then it turned out that one of my best friends from college, T, had been with us the whole time and the two of us decided to back to the party, which was now at our old house on Larry Lane. The front yard was really big and there were Christmas lights strung up along the edges. When we walked up, there was a group of people standing in the driveway that included B #1 & #2, and Jim from The Office. Jim told me that he liked my shirt and was very flirtatious, and I felt flustered but flattered. We walked around the side of the house to the back patio and he kind of stood against me and I felt really warm and happy about it. He told me that he was going to try to play for the Cardinals next year.

In which I'm like those twins from Thundercats

I was walking down a city street, maybe in New York? There were a lot of people on the sidewalk, and whenever it was time to cross a street, you had to step onto a little metal platform, like those things they put across potholes here in Atlanta. It would float several people across the street at a time when the light changed, because for some reason you couldn't just walk across the street. I was standing in a big bunch of people, waiting to get on a platform thing, and the guy standing next to me told me that if I fell off, I would be electrocuted, like if you fall into the subway tunnel. He said the best thing to do was to be in the middle.

I got on the platform and tried to get in the middle, but got pushed toward the edge. At first I was scared but then all the other people disappeared and it was just me on the platform. It didn't just move across the street anymore - it turned into a little surfboard/hovercraft/flying carpet thing that I could fly all around the city. I could fly up the sides of buildings and all over the place and it was amazing. I flew over Central Park (it was definitely NYC at this point) and tried to do a loop in the air, but I fell off the air surfer and plummeted towards the ground.
