side notes

Starts off with me on a vacation with a bunch of relatives. We are all down in the basement of wall looks identical to my house at home. There are several fishing rods standing up on a stand that look weirder than normal.

I go in a room and see two small wolf figurines/statues. One is gold, and one is gray in color. For some reason I decide I need them and place both into my pocket.

Fastforward: I am laying in bed with Sookie from Trueblood (I don't know what the hell is with me and hooking up with girls from that show, lol). We hook up.

Fastforward: Me and all my relatives are outside having a nerf gun war. The nerf guns look very real however, and shoot very realistically as well. I pick up an RPG, and it shoots the foam rocket identically to it's real predecessor. I thought about how sweet of a nerf gun it was.

______________

I am driving in a suburban to see a surprise that one of my friends has for me. When we get out of the suburban, I see a full sized, as well as an alive T-Rex.

"How in the hell is that thing existing right now?!" I asked my friend.

"They did took DNA from bone morrow of a T-Rex that was frozen." My friend replied (been watching too much Discovery channel I think lol).

I continued to watch in complete awe, as it's trainer made sure the T-Rex would not do anything ridiculous. I remembered watching this whole thing and noticing there was a small rope "caging" in the T-Rex.

_______________

I decided to try and DEILD when I woke up in the morning. It worked, at least for a minute. I am standing in the middle of a grass-field, and a wolf is standing in front of me. All of a sudden I feel the dream pulling away again, so I start to inspect the grass blades on the ground to stabilize it. It worked for a couple of seconds, however, it soon completely crashed down, even after an attempt to rub my hands and spin.


Note: Starting to notice that the gold/blonde wolf and gray wolf in my dreams seem to be yet another dream sign, as they show up a lot.

Had some interesting dreams last night, including one lucid. Unfortunately, I can't recall over half of what happened, so no entry tonight. Expect one tomorrow for sure.

I am in a hotel room with some friends from high-school. We all at first greet one another and sit around the nice bar in the hotel room. We then decide we are hungry and head down to the cafeteria. All of a sudden, I am wearing a green sleeveless water suit. I see a lot of people in the cafeteria eying me because of the odd outfit, but I shrug it off. I continue to walk around the cafeteria and find some girls from my high-school, and one of them begs be to meet their dad. So, I follow them and proceed to meet up with their dad. Dream is a bit fuzzy after that...

____________

This blonde haired guy is driving me to his house somewhere in the suburbs, and now that I think of it, the man looked a lot like Keith Barry (the magician/mentalist). He took me to his house and I was forced to follow him around, I forget exactly what he was trying to train me to do.

Fast-forward: I am going back to Keith Barry's house, however I am rollerblading for some reason and it is poring rain outside on the way there. Keith then meets me outside of his house and urges me to get in his car. Dream ends.

Warning: can be considered to be disturbing

I am traveling with a bunch of family members, friends, and famous people to a vacation spot on the beach to relax and have fun. We are all taking these white vans. When we get to our destination, however, it is far from any beach, and North Korean officers (at least it seemed like North Korean) snatched us by our hands and bound us so we couldn't struggle. We are forced up a hill, and on top of the hill, they force all of us to go through torturous exercises. While changing exercises, I remember glancing over at medicine bottles and gold bond on a rack in the middle of the hill we were forced to perform torturous exercises. On the bottles, I was trying to make out the date of them for some reason, but they seemed too far away. I glimpsed at what looked like an 8 on one of them, so I concluded it was the 8th (of whatever). At the end of the torture, the placed me bound on my knees with a gun pointed at my head. They then asked me what the date was on the medicine in the middle of the hill, and if I got it wrong I would be killed.

"It's the 8th!" I said, as I felt an unnatural sweat covering my body like a film.

"let him go," One of the officers said, as he tossed me to another officer. He then escorted me down the hell to meet up with a bunch more people who had passed the same test apparently after going through the torture. I asked one of them when we are leaving.

"You think we are getting out of here soon? Where are the vans?" I said desperately.

"Hah!" One of the DCs said, "You think we are leaving? They are going to keep us here and control us forever."

The white vans came back, and the officers filed us into the vans (those of us that were alive still), and drove us somewhere remote that we had no idea about. The question about where we were going was answered soon enough however, as we stepped out of the van we entered the property of a perfectly circular island, With a bunch of buildings in the center that were enormous. On the border of the circular island were millions of beds, and roofs over top of them like awnings. We were escorted into the middle of the island where the gigantic buildings were, and were sent to our hotel rooms in them. The men escorting us were unnaturally large, like the size of the hulk in the movie. These men were kind of weird looking.

I met my parents in my hotel room I was assigned to, and there were cameras and bugs everywhere in the hotel room. I talked with them about how this must be a concentration camp in North Korea or something, and that the hotel room we were assigned to was actually extremely nice.

Fast-forward: It is night time, and I am sleeping on one of the beds around the outer edge of the island. All of a sudden Tara, from True Blood, sits and lays down two beds beside me. She has blood all over, as well as patched up wounds on her arms and legs I could see. I ask a guy beside me about what happened to her, and he explained that the officers had Tara in "custody" all day, and that she was most likely beaten and raped for a long time. Poor girl, I thought to myself, as I examined her beautiful body that was littered with patched up wounds and blood. I continue to lay there for a while trying to play on my phone, but the phone keeps messing up, so I abandoned the idea.

All of a sudden I hear 2 officers coming into the area where the beds were, screaming in a language I did not understand. They went up to Tara, and yelled in her face for a long time, and Tara returned the favor and was screaming at them as well. Eventually the language turned into English, and the North Korean officers said to her "Now your really going to pay."

Tara starts screaming "NO! NOOO!" as she starts to weep again, and the officers reappear with a chair that resembled what looked like a chair to completely constrain someone so they could not move at all. Although she struggled, the officers subdued her in the chair and strapped her down. They gathered a bunch of tools that looked extremely evil in nature, such as large pliers, needles, tweezers, and a screwdriver. I couldn't bare to watch so I got up and put my back to it as I leaned against a ledge that was separating the walkway from the area of beds. The guy I talked to a little earlier had joined me on the ledge. As I over-heard Tara's shrieks of pain, I couldn't even think of what they were doing to her in that chair... it made me sick. It made me so sick I began crying in me dream. I had one hand on the ledge I was leaning against while the other covered my tears rolling down my face.

"If I could only shift into a wolf right now like I do in my dreams, these fuckers would really pay," I actually thought to myself, which is quite ironic. Little did I know I WAS dreaming (fail).

I then asked the buddy next to me what he thought about it. He then proceeded to tell me that they are most likely going to strip some of her fingernails and toenails off. This made me weep a little more as I continued to hear the sounds of Tara screaming in agony. After a while, the screaming ceased, and me and the buddy next to me saw the two officers covered in blood, carrying the chair towards the buildings in the middle of the island. Then they had disappeared. I knew Tara would need some consoling, so I ran up to her bed and sat next to her.

I opened up my arms offering to let her cry on my shoulder, and she took the offer generously. She came into my arms and pressed her eyes as hard as she could into my should and proceeded to cry excruciatingly loud. the tears and the loud crying made me ache, and I clutched her as hard as I could until the crying ceased a bit. She let go and laid next to me still half way in my arms. Then, all of a sudden she creeped her hands down my pants, and brought me in close to kiss her. It didn't feel right to go from such excruciating pain to being sexual, so I told her to relax. I definitely was not in that mood at the time.

"But I want it! Please!" she begged.

"Tara I can't, just relax," I said with concern, and continued to lay there.

Fast-forward: A person appears on the balcony of one of the tall buildings in the center that was close to the beds we were laying in. It was morning, and we all stood up to see what the hell was going on. A large lady was on the balcony with a microphone or a megaphone, one of them. She proceeded to tell us we must say everything that she says. Then, she started chanting words, and the crowd at the bed level would follow. I knew I had to do what they said now, especially after what I saw they did with Tara the night before. I joined in.

The thought of turning into a wolf like in my dreams creeped into my head once again, however, I did not think to do a reality check (another fail). One of the hulk looking men came up to me and started a conversation with me after the morning's chant session we had with the large lady on the balcony.

"What's wrong (my name)?"

"Oh nothing, just thinking about something." That something was ripping apart the place with my large wolf jaws.

"What is it?" He asked again.

"Honestly it's nothing. I am a little hungry actually, so that may be it." I lied.

That's when I woke up, and actually recalled quite a bit of the nap's dream. Was extremely vivid, and was quite disturbing as well. Not to mention I had plenty of opportunities to RC (such as the medicine bottles, and shifting thoughts), but still failed.

First I am involved in a paint-ball fight in the middle of a mall. Unfortunately, I suddenly remembered I left my gun back at home, so I had to run from the blaze of gun fire while unable to defend myself. I don't remember much more than that.

_________

I am walking through the first level of a 2 level mall, and I am following my parents through it. I start to stare at a symbol on a marble wall that was isolated in the middle of the mall. Although I "knew" I was not in a dream (haha or so I thought), I decided to try and do a reality check on the metal symbol on the marble wall. I looked away and looked back at the symbol 3 times, and it did change small details about it.

"Holy shit, am I dreaming!? But it feels too real to be a dream, everything looks somewhat normal..." I told myself

I decided to try and see if I was dreaming by aiming my arm at an object on the second level in the mall, and tried to make it explode with my mind. Nothing... I guess I am not dreaming. One more RC to see if I am.

So, I chose to close my nose with my fingers to see if I was able to breath still. I was, but it felt like I was barely able to. It felt like there was a small crack that my fingers didn't cover that allowed me to breath a bit, and it seemed realistic to me at the time. So, I decided I was not dreaming in the end...

As the dream continued and any lucidity left was completely gone, I walked up to the symbol I was doing RCs on before and took it down. I continued to walk around the mall with my parents with the large metal awkward looking symbol in my hand. I remember that I continued to do RCs on it through the rest of the dream, but the symbol changed very little every time. Thus, no lucid.

Note: Next time I am not sure whether the RC was successful or not, continue to use different RCs until I am positive I am in or not in a dream...

I am sitting at my desk playing some type of modern modern version of the old Asteroids game when I realize I am wearing sunglasses. I take off the sunglasses and put them down on the desk only to look back up and realize they are still on my face. I take them off again but this time i reach up with my other hand and feel my face. Then I suspected that I was dreaming so I did a reality check and became lucid.
Remembering my goal, (a first!) I get up and go out into the hallway. I fly up through the ceiling and wake up.



Notes: The reason I couldnt remove the sunglasses is probably because of changing light levels, though I have never had that happen before... Unfortunately I didnt achieve my goal in this dream but at least I remembered it before I woke up!

January to June Tags

I've neglected my dream journal.

I want to keep track of how my tags change over time, if they do. So this post is just to list my tags for early 2010.

Water. Flying. Dream-Skill. Strange-DC. Nature. Violence. Transform. Chase-dream. Reality-Check. Monsters. Adventure. School. Amazing-sky. Dream-wheel. Darkness. Window. Work. End-of-world. Foreign-place. Mind-invasion. Liberating-dcs. Dark-presence. Forgotten-convo. Vivid. Communication. Portal. Strong-emotion. Spiral. Time. . . . .

Ok I'm going to write two nights here.

1. I dreamed I was insane. I reacted calmly. I was in a bathroom and was about to get on with a hot woman when like 2-3 guys ran in and started hitting me. Then they vanished and I realized they were imaginary.
Later in the dream I walked into a building. It was sort of like a school. I walked left up to some stairs. I stopped and got lucid. I talked to myself and reminded me "I'm dreaming". I saw a black man in his middle age. He was like a DG or similar. He talked to me. He said like "Your subconsciousness is up there, in here... and inside you" (he made gestures with his hands). I became more lucid and my vision zoomed in a bit and everything got more vivid and I got dizzy. Then I had to go up and fight some characters to get rid of my craziness. I won. I woke up and didn't move. I thought about the dream. Then I moved and I felt a wave of oblivion wash over the dream. I lost a lot of details like the characters for example.

I dreamed I sat outside my house and my neighbor stole some gas from my moped. Then some kids played hide and seek near my yard. I went inside and found my mom in there. She told me that her mom had taken her life. I hugged her and started thinking about my grandma and got some tears in my eyes. Then I woke up and my eyes were a bit wet. I felt relieved.

2. War city and going to parties.
Later I got lucid. I was at a china town looking street where I had been before in the dream. I think I sat in a car and got a ride up the street. There were people outside. I've thought about dream control and I was going to make things feel natural, as flying feels natural to me. I reached out with my arm and started waving my hand slowly, feeling a big invisible force strike at the people. I could see that they reacted on something pushing them. I don't know what to call this power but I guess it's a ghost force hand for now.

I'm excited that I've made some progress in dream control.

Stuff to Do

There's a few things I want to do in future lucids to increase quality and vividness. I thought I'd post them in here to remind myself. The main one is to find more natural methods of dream control than forcing my visualizations into existence in the dream world. In the sweet WILD I had earlier, there were a few times where I tried to change scene, or get someone to appear, purely by trying to see them. It kind of half-worked, but I lost a lot of focus on the entire dream world, and the results were pretty poor. (One example was a ghost-like, ugly girl who appeared instead of a hot girl I was after- her face also distorted a few times)

I guess the results were so bad because my imaginative facilities were already in full use with rendering an entire world. That could be why it's hard to visualise things in your head in dreams- everything is already in your head, we can't have a "dream imagination" without the subject of our imagination coming into existence... can we? Anyway, if I maybe used some more logic-friendly control methods, I could get clearer results.

Forgotten DEILD (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

this morning, I remember doing a DEILD. However, I can't remember the dream itself! I was lying on my left side, visualising a dreamscape I had just left- a grassy gnoll near my dad's house.

I was comfortably in the stage where I was actually "seeing" the scene rather than just imagining it, and I thought to myself,
"Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about," before my memory goes blank.


Warning: tangent...

This got me thinking about how the brain creates our reality. Now I'm no neuroscientist, but that doesn't stop me hypothesizing! When we see things, sensory information is sent from the eye to the brain, where the brain processes it all, allowing us to "see". But when we are recieving little/no sensory input (ie during sleep), surely the brain can still do its processing? In fact, I think the senses are not completely essential for the creation of a reality by the brain. When I was trying to DEILD, it felt like I was "seeing". Of course, my real eyes weren't involved at all, the scene was created from my imagination. The brain will still be firing the same neurons, doing the same processing as it would if it was getting the input from my eyes rather than my imagination. I highly doubt this is making any sense at all, hopefully someone knows what I'm getting at, even if I can't word it...

I guess my concluding thought would be: how different are dreams from reality? A quotation from Morpheus springs to mind,
"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

A majority of this dream consisted of being a part of a sports team and the night before a big game the next day. I could not find the place to get my room key for a long time so I traveled all over to find it with no luck. I run into a family friend who is talking about me and embarrassing me while making a toast extremely intoxicated in the lobby. I am late getting into my room and look around it for a while.

_______

I am outside and it has been snowing. There are thousands of people playing in it, and I spot some of my friends who have laid down a tarp so that we could slide down a hill on it. I try it but I get stuck. I look around, the snow is gone, and everyone else who was playing in the snow is gone. I was by myself on the tarp.

_______

We are on a boat somewhere in a jungle and in the woods. A man spots a coyote out to me and a person sitting next to me in the boat.

"You know, coyotes get eaten by wolves all the time" The man sitting next to me says.

________

I am in a van, all of a sudden the van stops, and the sliding door opens up. I get up off my seat and am about to step on the ground, until I look closer at the asphalt and notice it is moving like a liquid would. All of a sudden something clicks and I realize I am dreaming.

After I become lucid, I hop down and get on all fours to kickstart a full transformation into a timber wolf so I can accomplish one of my lucid goals. The transformation, however, brought incredible pain to my face where the wolf snout was being contorted and broken outwards from my face. The pain was so unbearable that I thought I may have been feeling the pain in my real life body in bed while I was LDing, so I got spooked and forced myself to wake up before the transformation was even finished.

Notes: Pain has been occurring randomly with my transformations now. Going to have to find a way to either not get spooked and deal with the pain, or take a "pain killer" before I begin a transformation from now on.

Starts out with bringing an extremely attractive gothic girl into my bedroom to watch TV. We are laying in bed when suddenly her clothes come off and she is lying naked beside me. I begin kissing her chest, and neck, and things start to get intimate. All of a sudden she starts crying, however, her tears are jet black (looked like pen ink). The black tears are smeared all over her naked body and the bed in which we were laying in. I try to console her the best I can, however, nothing seems to be working.

Fast-forwards to an airport (dream sign!?). The very attractive gothic girl is by my side, and she begins running through the terminal as fast as she could while clutching onto my hand.

"Why are we running?" I ask.

"That guy!" She said as she screams and pointed towards a blonde haired guy in a red shirt and jeans with a dozen or so knives in his hand chasing us at full speed. Next thing I know, the man who is now chasing us is hurling his knives. I hear one or two wizz by head. Thats when something clicked in my head.

"I am dreaming!"

I decide to take the frightening situation into my own hands. I stop running, and do an RC with a DC that was wearing a green shirt with words on it, just to make sure of it. The DC whom I was staring at gave me an evil eye as I did an RC by looking at the words on his shirt and looking back at them. Yep, I was definitely dreaming.

I turn around and stare at the man who was chasing me with throwing knives, and hold my ground. The man stopped running at a distance, and stared for a second before he hurled a knife at my stomach. While surprising myself at the same time, I quickly snag the knife out of the air before it was even close to touching me. I then break it in half in attempt to further scare the DC who was hurling knives. Now that I knew I was in complete control of my dream I was furious with this DC and could not wait to punish him for scaring the shit out of me.

I sprinted full speed at the blonde haired DC and grabbed his throat with my hand and lifted him as high as I could off the ground. The DC who was now showing signs of choking and helplessness was flailing in the air as he dangled at the mercy of my raised arm. I forced the transformation of only my head this time to become a wolf, so I could continue to hold him in the air as I revealed my weapons to kill the DC. After my head had completely undergone the transformation, I put my muzzle up to his now helpless face as close as I could without touching him, and bared my wolf teeth and growled as loud as I could. Then, all of a sudden the dream world began getting hazy and fuzzy, and felt my real self in bed as I awoke.

Notes: Another dream sign that could help me attain lucidity is airports, have seen them a lot in my DJs. I also need to continue to work on immediately attempting to spin or rub my hands to remain lucid and not wake up. LDs have not been lasting too long lately...

Goodbye ex:

My ex called me and said she wanted to come over and say goodbye before she moved to another state. She came over really dressed up in a blue dress. We went up to my room and she said she still had a lot of feelings for me and still loved me. I was kind of horny and agreed with her so I could sleep with her. I reached up her dress and laid her on the bed. I said she smelt kind of bad and decided not to sleep with her.

Weird stuff:
My recording said that this was an add on to another dream meaning that I recorded a previous dream prior to this one. I think that might have been a false awakening because I don't have a previous dream entree that matches this one.
I was at my house and Michael and my uncle were sleeping downstairs. Michael called me and said he was at a club and my grandpa was sleeping downstairs.

dream fragment:
Michael and I met a couple of girls and took them to my house. We were all joking around and flirting. I remember I had a really nice guitar in my hand and was pretending to play it really well.

Shared dream attempt:
Henesie and I were attempting to have a shared dream tonight. We called each other at 4:30 am to wake each other up and wish good luck.
I had a FA where she called me and said she failed to WILD. She said she was really frustrated and that she is going to give up on having LD's. I told her not to worry because I also failed and decided to turn around and just go to bed because of my allergies.

Training the cat:
Kalee and Lindsey were at my house in my room. I was getting pissed at them because they kept making a mess. I kicked them out of my room and told them to go downstairs. I was in my room with my dog and a random cat. The cat kept scratching bella. I help the cat down by its hands and attempted to train it. Every time it would try to bit or scratch me I would slam it against the wall. Eventually I threw the cat out the window . I went downstairs and kalee was still making a mess. I kicked her out of my house. I went to the computer downstairs in the office and played some games.

Acid trip:

I took some acid in the morning. I went into my woods on a sunny day. Everything was really bright. I had some weird hallucinations of ants trying to attack me. I was scared of having a bad trip so I remained calm the whole time. A couple of times I thought I was going to get attacked, but I remained calm and nothing happened. I wandered over to a random stream and looked at how beautiful the water was.


it seems as if most of my dreams are becoming less crazy and more logical. Most of them are happening at my house or at karas house. I need to start doing reality checks in my house and when I see kara, michael, or lindsey

I am sitting inside a restaurant across from someone I don't know, I am inside an apartment that isn't mine, I walk outside onto a balcony but instead of a staircase on my left, (which is how I expected it to be) there is another door in front of me. I panic, and do an RC. I become lucid and fly down.
I yell back towards the apartment that I am having a lucid dream. Now I am in a car. I complain that the car is too slow and fly out. Now I am outside the restaurant and getting in a different car.


Notes: When I woke up a realized that the lucid dream had ended the minute I chose to fly down from the balcony, from then on it was no longer a lucid dream, simply a flying dream.
In the future, I will try to remember this before doing anything when I become lucid, maybe I will rethink things and make a better choice about what to do with the dream

Slept between 1:00a-9:30a

1:00a-5:30a
Meaningful portals
"This guy obviously does think my portals are meaningful," is what I have wrote. I can't, for the life of me, remember what this was about!

5:30-8:30
Set sail!
A friend was sailing around the world, in her boat, the South America. Her boat was painted a hideous colour of stark white with a child-like painting of South America on the bottom of her boat. I was looking at this design from underneath the water (I was under water, looking upwards). She was telling us about the tricky maneuvering she had to do to get into the docks at London, because she'd accidentally come in "backwards."

8:30-9:30a
Interesting house design, again
This house in my dream was supposed to be the house I currently live in. But it got quite warped up in the dream.
Starts out with me in my room. Bobbi (from work) is showing me my closet. She's quite proud of how she reorganized it. I don't really notice anything, other than hanging clothes, so I fake-enthusiastically say, "I really like it, thanks!" She goes on to tell me how all my bras are colour-coordinated with my tank tops. So she has done... She's paired a blue tank with an orange bra, pink bra with a green tank, etc.

[Grandma's dodgy basement trap door]
My dad wants to show me this interesting project Grandma was working on. She built a new way into the basement. I figured a new staircase, but then my dad opens up a panel out of the floor, in the main floor bathroom. He's trying to turn the light on, via pull-string, but the light appears to not want to turn on (obvious universal dream sign, missed!). Oh well, we don't need the light, anyways. All you have to do is use the same pull string to swing down through the trap door...

[Basement tenant and the new kitchen]
I'm hanging out in the basement with my parent's tenant. She's the girl who helped me cancel my gym membership IRL, yesterday.

"Did you realize just how many staircases there are in this place?" she asks.

"Well, I knew there were a couple," I say. She shows me this new one I don't recognize. I go up it, and I discover this dark kitchen area, that's been completely untouched for 13 years (and remarkably lacking any dust). The counters are a lovely wood and marble, the sink is huge, and I see a white stove with that smooth surface rather than burners. I think to myself that mum must've known about this kitchen, since she bought the new stove to go in here when she bought the black one for her main kitchen...

I realized that this kitchen should be mine! Now that the tenant knows about this place, she'll want to use it... How to get her to want to leave, though?

My Warcraft buddy, Gerakis, appears with a plan. He rigs up this stuffed toy to somehow become covered in raw red meat, and then tosses it to the tenant's dog (a shih-tzu), who is happily nomming (and growling) on the toy in the vent space next to her room, while she is trying to sleep. She complains it's too loud for her to sleep. Excellent...

I woke up here.

Hm... had lots of dreams in the last two weeks or so. I'll just post notes of what I remember.

~Big skeletal demon monster things chasing my friends and I through a library, and then down a road.
~People around, and one guy turned into a purple... I don't know; it had wings. Then some evil person was trying to kill him, but they couldn't.

~I'm a vampire, walking through an unfamiliar house. There's one or two other people there with me. The house was either very dirty or tinted green, or both.
~In a classroom with some teacher who thinks my name is Alice. A group of guys bust in out of nowhere and the teacher goes, "Oh, are you finally going to give her an igloo?" The guys hand me a little one on a string with a TV inside it.
~I'm a vampire, in a big field shaped like a bowl. There are animals all around me. I run superfast out into a town and find a nice car, which I then proceed to crash into things because the brakes aren't working. I find a group of people after a while and say, "Does this car belong to any of you?" A guy stands up, looks at the wrecked vehicle, and goes, "YES!!!!!" Later I go back to the field, and there's a huge tornado that I barely get away from. It sucks up the car, though. The tornado was upside-down looking, almost exactly like this picture, only the sky was darker.

~A false awakening: I "woke up" listening to my MP3 player, which was playing commercials. I thought nothing of it and I can't remember the rest of the dream.
~~~~
Bah, there are so many others, and now that I'm trying to type them I can't remember them.
