Dream Dream Dream by GYØ Daryl, GYØ Vicki, Tøm, Adam, GYØ Ben, GYØ Robtimus Prime, GYØ Katie

April 6th, 2009 2:31 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Recreate a dream in your waking life.

Minch visits Great Yarmouth
and many a dream comes true!





Vicki: After messages via Facebook of Minch's impending jaunt to England, I guess my tasking drive got rebooted for the first time, really this era. So I went to sleep...

The Dream...
It's a bit vague (I rarely remember the entirety of my dreams), but what I do remember is ringing Tom and asking him where he was, and he said that he was still up Yarmouth. Not quite sure what happened then, but I remember walking (?!) to Yarmouth, then seeing lots of GYZero plus other players (inc. Minches) walking down what seemed Regent Road wearing odd costumes, I think myself I was wearing something made of purple lycra, which is odd as I haven't worn purple lycra in years... Then we picniced on the beach =]

Then I woke up.

We actually picniced in a field of ruins.... but so as not to leave you feeling we recreated Vicki's dream poorly...

Minch: I have been in love with England for as long as I can remember. I think I may have actually been born already fully in love with England. I have very specific images in my head that make up England to me. Fields and mist and castles and stillness. Prior to arrival I had been most excited to have a fancy dress picnic with all the wonderful (and now fully a part of my heart) GYØ players. (I should note here, "Fancy Dress" is an interesting translation mix up and thank you Ben for not explaining that to me until after my arrival.)

Our picnic location was set for Burgh Castle. Getting to Burgh Castle consisted of battling Chavs, boarding a bus, walking a bit, and crossing a field behind an old church before entering the field with the castle remains. This was later in the day, so the sun was sinking in the sky casting the scenery in dusk tones.

The moment we passed through the stile and the ruins came into view, I stopped and cried. There, in front of me, spreading out across the horizon, was my dream of England. A castle wall, a windmill in the distance, mist, the setting sun. Plucked right out of my fantasies and fully realized in front of my eyes.
main_200903benmesuns77250.jpgOf all the things I saw and did in London, my time in Great Yarmouth is my favorite. I've left large pieces of my heart behind, gladly.

Also, I really wanted to see Adam dance...

Tom: Is always dreaming of bacon. Often foodstuffs in general, but bacon pretty much takes the cake. Or baconcookie, as it seems. Mmm... baconcookies...

So as part of recreating Vicki's dream of picnics, I recreated my dream of bacon-food combination, with baconcookies and a bacon donut. T'was win. I need more deserts to nom together with bacon.

Daryl: I've dreamt of climbing a very tall wall before.

Robtimus Prime: Dreams of Dreams.
but don't ask about it or he'll go into a philosophical tangent on the existential dilemma of dreams versus reality. Instead let's show you how he eats chocolate dipped in guacamole.

You won't actually believe this but the night after we submit this task I dreamt that Minch was in Starbucks in town wearing a hat and I poured a frappuccino other you. Then Tom came in and pushed me down the escalator.

I'm kind of glad we didn't re-live that dream.

Tom would fail at pushing people down escalators anyway, you're safe :P

Hey, fun!

Now I'm all curious as to the meaning of "Fancy Dress".

(no subject) +3
posted by Adam on April 7th, 2009 8:45 AM

In the UK fancy dress means costumes (like a cat or postman) and in the US apparently it means formal dress.

There was a miscommunication. Tom came as a cat, Keller came as Keller in a nice dress.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Ben realized this miscommunication, but waited till I was standing in his living room to tell me. He's slightly evil like that.

I like that older one though, look how happy that guy is.

He's all, "HEY, GUYS, I'M TOTALLY A POSSUM!"

Reminds me of a possum I used to know.

anyone else notice how creepy "Hey Guy's, I'm Totally a Possum!'s hand is?

it's like he stole fingers from a human and sewed them into his fur paw. Do you think JoCo has a song about that?

Only just checked out the do.

(After how many weeks now???)

And I have nothing to add \^_^/

SO

Just wanted to say: I -LIKE- that image of me! An 'eating food shot' that doesn't make me look disgusting.

I know, I was eating a dip covered chocolate wafers... Is why I said I don't -look- disgusting.


Just like my philosophical tangents, I've warbled on far too long for a comment.


ops.


What a day that was ^_^

Chocolate dipped in guacamole. Both a taste sensation and irrefutable proof that our civilisation has entered the final decadent phase before total collapse.
