Last night, I had the strangest dream. I was alone in a desolate street. All of a sudden, a brightly colored spaceship lands, right in front of me. The outline of a door is all that I can really concretely understand; the rest of the ship is just some sort of material that quixotically changes colors at random - glamorously. As soon as I understand the door, it slides open and a bright, exhaustedly pure light shines out, blocked only by the silhouette of what I guess was some sort of humanoid creature, about to abduct me. The creature came closer, and I realized it was a spitting image of Ziggy Stardust. He put his finger to my forehead and said,

"You, you have been chosen, like those before you, to spread upon this Earth, our ideals of love, life and Rock and Roll. You must complete this task successfully before it's too late - if you fail, the world, as you know it, will seise to exist. You have five years. Good luck"

And with that, I woke up, pale as a ghost. I looked in the mirror and noticed my hair was cut in this sort of mullet colored bright red. A lightning bolt danced upon my face. I decided to explore the world as my new self:

I met people that were similar to me (surprisingly) and also very much different.

We discussed, as people of wisdom do, of the meaning of our sensory dimensions, and if time itself is cyclical - if it repeats itself, in other words. I had conversations with people I thought I had already met - perhaps in a past life.

Or, if life is like a fractal, that has a incredibly simple root to its pattern, but thus, never ends in its design.

I met others that had been changed in similar ways, and we both looked at each other with wild-eye enthusiasm.

The world it seemed was - at least for us, to be very different from now on...


Weird Things of Note From Halloween Warehouse Dance Parties (Weird as in I would only remember these silly things)

The woman with me that is posing as if she was Twiggy in the "David Bowie, Pin Ups" record cover didn't even know of the record (or even my character). Oddly, her "street" name is Bettie, as in another... pin up I can think of...

Two people who didn't know each other came to the party as two different characters from Cremaster 4. This is odd in the respect that the Cremaster Cycle itself is 9 hours long and had only recently been shown for the first time in completion in one small Denver theatre for a span of two weeks. To say only a few people in Denver saw the movie is... well.

It is also odd that The Laughton Candidate (Goat Guy - who was actually a girl), (one of the three) Fairies (who really was a girl, but was played by a guy in the actual movie, and my Ziggy character (who was neither all man, nor all woman, but an androgynous mixture of the two), all had the same hair color, and complexion.
