2005 Lists
No, you aren't going to have to endure 2005 lists, these are just some lists from the year.- The top 10 words of 2005
- Best Selling Books of 2005 (I've read #1,17,33,42,71- not too great for an English teacher)
- World's Top 50 Restaurants (yep, none!)
- Highest Grossing Movies ( I saw 5)
- All Time Top 100 English Language Novels (OK, this one really has nothing to do with 2005, but its a great list!! I've only read 16- how on earth can I be an English teacher? I'd never even heard of half of them.)
I think that's enough. I thought about making some of my own top 10 lists for 2005, but I'll spare you that.
If I had, it would probably start with the top 10 strangest dreams I've had this year. I think the one I had last night would top them all. It involved escaping from a school where portions of the hallways were some kind of strange magnetic field that made your body only able to move in slow motion and your brain had to fight against the pull of it to be able to move at all. Most people didn't escape, but I did, only to run through a field of mud and grass that was churning in waves like the ocean. I was running toward these lights that I was confident emanated from a space ship that had landed to save me from my peril. When I finally fought my way through the churning field, I was greeted by a 12 foot tall army green, skinny alien with some sort of LARGE gun who announced "I am here to kill you." I think it was a little more eloquent than that, but you know how dreams fade. I woke up at that point, heart pounding, scared half out of my wits. I was really sleepy, but knew that if I fell back asleep it would be back into that dream, which I did not want. And of course, I convinced myself that burglars would soon be breaking into my apartment. So, like a small child, I got up and turned on some lights, because everybody knows that lights scare burglars away, and left them on for the rest of the night.

as ineffective as it might seem, i'd have to think that leaving the lights on probably would give a burglar pause. i'd have to think that, were i to break into an apartment or house, if i saw the lights were on, i'd just skip it and move on.
i also was contemplating some sort of review of 2005, but i think it's getting to be a bit late for that.
