First my friends Willy and Natalia asked me if I would play juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet they were making, and I said yes. Kelly (who was also there) said that it would be a good opportuniy to find my soul, which was evidently missing.
So I spent a while dressing up in Juliet costumes, and living a very fancy life. I remember not understanding how Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy because I was having such fun being a wierd rich heiress. Then I wasn't in my body any more and I was just watching myself walk around with this huge gold mardi gras mask on my face wearing a big poofy dress. I was looking at myself and thinking I looked mighty tall, when I realized I was riding aroung on someones shoulders instead of walking. Then my servants lead the real, disembodied, me into the shadowland. The shadowland was a succession of parks where you had to stay on the paths, you were not allowed to walk on the grass.You were also not allowed to wear a hat in the shadowland, so I had to take off my top hat and carry it in my hand. There were a lot of people in the shadowland, they were all beggars, carrying around their hats and asking for handouts. They were all missing limbs, not like they were handicapped, but as if their arms and legs and parts of their heads had been eaten by the nothing. These people followed me around asking me for things, holding their hats out to me. When I realized that I had peices missing from my body too, I all of a sudden was alone in an allyway in a strange city. I looked up and saw someone dive out of a window a few floors up.I was really afraid that it was my friend Dylan, and I didn't want to see his dead body, so I just ran up and glanced at his mangled self and he was wearing a baseball hat that I was sure he would wear, and then I ran away. I was really freaking out. I ran down the ally for a while before I realized what a jerk I was being, and I ran back to see if I could help him, just in case he wasn't dead. I had grabbed this girl from the street, to help me save him, and because I was embarressed to go up to him alone, and I was afraid of his being dead. But when I got there It was someone else. He got up and it turned out he had landed on a big pile of pillows on this couch. There was a party going on that I had not noticed before and I felt really stupid. "we are practicing our jumps" said my friend Aaron.
