Vampires and Dreams

Today marks the first of three Mondays that must pass until I go home. It will be excrutiating if I sit and think that there are nineteen days (that's Vegreville Hours, so they pass almost twice as long as normal hours) until I can sleep in a room with heat, see my sisters (and brothers - it will be Christmas after all), and just be able to relax before the Diploma tests in January.
Today was strange. I woke up from a dream that actually had something to do with what is going on in school (which almost never happens to me, I guess it's effecting me more than I thought). In the dream, KC, Janelle, Celeste(I was surprised too) and I were camping at this resort in the mountains and I guess Janelle had left a school photo of herself in the medicine cabinet for Celeste, and wrote on it that she expected one back from her. All of a sudden, Melanie shows up and gets mad that Janelle wanted a picture of Celeste and not her. At that point, I woke up (for the drive into Veg) and have been pondering it's meaning ever since.
I rarely dream of things that are going on in my life (the whole conflict with Melanie, Celeste, KC, Janelle, Laura(the bitch, not my sister), Kyla and I is still fairly new, so maybe that's what the problem is). I almost never dream about people I know, and for that matter, I almost never dream about myself.
Anyways...
Wednesday is Caitlyn's birthday, she turns 14. HOORAY... yeah right. Big Whoop. Just kidding, but I am actually going to the play "A Christmas Carol" at the Citadel that day with my drama club and I get to miss math!!! I'm so happy!
I'll probably be at drama tech meetings all this week. Next week the play goes on, so I'll be at school for that too. Next Monday is my math field test. I do have a few things to occupy my mind until my time here is up.
Hey, I forgot! Touer's coming home on the 16th, so I get to see him for the first time since the summer. I've only talked to him twice (THANKS A LOT FOR CALLING MAN!) since, and Christmas break should be fun. I have to get him to look over my English project.
On the topic of stories - my English project is a story which is now finished, or the first draft at least - I have been thinking about writing another one. Recently, I've been a little obsessed with vampires and I have three story ideas for them.
1. The country is suffering from an epidemic, and to make things worse, vampires are a part of everyday life. This is the future, by the way. Magnolia is a young woman who has lived with a group of vampires (the head of the household is supposedly the original vampire, Rosalind) and provides blood through her work (she works at a blood bank, predictable, I know)for the family's food supply. Magnolia is in love with one of Rosalind's "Sons", that is, one of the young men she 'turned', named Tristan. When Magnolia is infected with the plague and begins to die, she is glad (she has been miserable since the death of her mother by Rosalind's hand and hates all vampires - except for Tristan), but Tristan is on the verge of hysterical. He takes it upon himself to 'turn' her (the introduction of his vampire blood antigens into bloodstream) and she wakes up very disappointed, and a vampire. To get revenge on Rosalind, for in her pseudo death she can have her revenge, Magnolia makes an offer to a bounty hunter (Dan, who has recently sworn to kill all vampires since the death of his girlfriend who was assumed to have died because of a vampire bite that bled out, but it really turns out that she got infected with the plague). She says that she will conspire with him to kill Rosalind, and during their planning, Dan falls in love with Magnolia. After their first attempt at the coup goes badly, they try again, but in the moment Dan has a chance to kill Rosalind for sure, he discusses the idea with himself (he is hesitant only because of a myth that once the original vampire is destroyed, all other vampires will either turn to dust - because of the hundreds of years of delayed aging - or die of suffocation - the vampire antigens absorb all other bloodcells and carry the oxygen themselves, but once the heart is penetrated, pollution kills the cells and no oxygen-CO2 exchange is available, thereby causing suffocation). He is unsure that is what he wants anymore because of Magnolia, and he is struck down, his neck cut open, infecting him with the plague, but killing him just because of the depth of the wound. Magnolia kills Rosalind, and drinks her blood as her revenge. I think that's how it will end anyway.
2. Harrison gets the idea into his head that he is a vampire. He meets a girl named Gypsy and they have their little affair. Since both of them are outcasts at school, they team up. Harrison talks about drinking people's blood and Gypsy takes it only as dirty talk. Hijynx ensue and it ends up that Harrison ties Gypsy up to a chair, kills a jogger in the park and brings him back to their hotel room to drink his blood, and when he finally loses his mind, he tries to convince her to drink his blood, then when she refuses, he beats her. And that's how that ends.
3. The third one, which happens to be the most recent and is still in developmental stages goes like this. Luxe is a girl in the future, also when vampires are a part of life. It is well after the time of the plague story, though, and at this time, the world is in a human vs. vampire all out war. Luxe's father has recently been initiated into Vampirehood or whatever you want to call it, and is seen as a traitor to the human race. Luxe and her team are trying to stop the vampires from doing something really bad - I haven't figured out what. I don't know how it will end, so that is for my dreams to decide!
Anyways, this blog is getting long, so I'll call it quits here.
