I dream of Isolde
Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2006 7:50 pm
For the first time that I can remember, an O&M character was in my dream. I don't recall much of it -- I don't even recall if she was just in the comic or right there in person (in dragon?) -- but it was shortly before I awoke that she said something like, "I know only one guy, and I'd like to be in love with him."
The first half of this sentence is very hard to reconcile. The second half is slightly better and leads to some intrigue. My dreaming mind got the strong sense, one way or another, that she was referring to Stephan. Only when I had been awake for maybe 20 seconds did I realize that the canon Isolde must never have said such a thing and almost certainly doesn't think that way about a fifth grader. If she has the makings of a crush on anybody, it's probably a fellow reptile, judging from her past sneers at mammalianism.
What I really want to know is how this came together in my mind. I haven't taken that much interest in Stephan's unrequited passion for Isolde, and she doesn't exactly turn me on.
Say...Isolde, I know you're ambitious with regard to goofy conspiracies, but please GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
