*tilts her head curiously* Are they bad dreams?

The worst ironically.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Why is it ironic?

My whole life has been about fire. It shouldn't scare me.

Sometimes the most familiar things can be menacing.

Tell me about it. *Sighs* Sorry. I don't mean to be so bleh. I'm just tired.

That's all right. I understand sleeplessness. It's never pleasant.

And I've been so rude. My name is Angel. *Offers a hand*

*she takes it, smiling* I'm Ophelia. It's nice to meet you!

Oh I love that name! It's on my list of possible future baby names.

Thank you! I quite like it - I rarely meet anyone else with it, though. Seems to be a bit old-fashioned for most people.

Angelica is pretty old fashioned too but I love the older names. Like Ruth or Marilyn.

*smiles* Marilyn is a very pretty name! And so is Angelica!

Had the same problem after the store burned down.

See, I would dream I was opening my store, lifted the shutter up and then see the store engulfed in flames. Though oddly enough my fellow coworker would be dressed some roman emperor and was playing the fiddle in the middle of the flames.

I certainly do hope that doesn't have the homosexual overtones I think it does.

*Blushes a little and smiles though she tries not to be rude about it* I don't think it means that. Weird things happen in dreams happen all the time.

*nods* Thanks. I need the affirmation.

My wife looked at me, told me never to tell my coworker about the dream, and I believe I heard her laughing like an idiot after she left the room. Needless to say, she probably thinks I'm gay.

*Snorts* But she's your wife. Shouldn't that be proof that you aren't gay?

You would think so, wouldn't you, but apparently when you're matrimonially tied, it's a cover up and if you have a kid, it's a "great" cover up.

*shrug* she loves me, she's having our love child, I would certainly say I'm straight, but there goes my brain and it's wacky dreams.

Aww well congratulations on the marriage and baby anyway. Dreams can be insightful I guess but if you are in love and happy with a woman than maybe it doesn't mean what she thinks it means.

Thanks.

She likes to bust my balls. I can't say I mind. She smiles as she does it so I can't be angry. It's impossible. I guess I am in love.

It sounds like it.

Tell me, is there someone you're in love with or am I gonna feel like a schmuck for talking about about my wife all lovey dovey like.

*Blushes again* Umm no but don't feel bad. It's nice hearing about you and your wife. It's sort of reassuring to hear about a successful relationship. Most of my friends are in the middle of romantic crisis.

So how did you meet her?

Sorry, I'm just conscious of other people's situation is all.

Romantic crisis...that's a new way of putting it.

I met Becky...about...2 years and a little bit more ago. She was the manager at a fast food restaurant me and my friend ended up working at after the store burned down. We became good friends as we were both managers of stores. I would usually spend the day flipping burgers or doing more manager type stuff~~doing her nail polish~~

~~tries very hard not to make it sound like there's more to the story, cuz there is~~
