September is ending, thus this post's title.
The book sale was this weekend; it was a pretty good haul, about 160 books for about $100, all together. My favorite find was an unabridged Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (Kate Douglas Wiggins), though we also found copies of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Willa Cather's My Antonia.
Dad was on a business trip to D.C. this week, thus incrementally progressing mine and Ashland's master plan of getting every citizen to visit there, haha.
Rewriting projects isn't usually quite as interesting as the rough draft, but they're some of the most important steps.
Got my roughly-twice-a-year haircut a couple weeks ago, still haven't gotten used to it yet.
We finally finished running through Parks and Recreation, which was sad. And Netflix yanked Friday Night Lights, which was a little disappointing.
In movie news, Mom and Courtney hated La La Land's ending, though I felt like it was right for the story. Most of the time dreams don't work out, so of course Sebastian and Mia couldn't stay together. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was fun, though Mulan was strange. The new Emma Watson-led Beauty and the Beast remake is much better than I expected so far. (I usually watch movies in halves when watching by myself.)

Strange Dreams, Part Five
3-27-13,
I was golfing with Josh and Keith Urban. Which sounds pretty cool.
8-28-16,
Mom sells two copies of Shakespearean histories on Paperback Swap to a guy named Tony, and then realizes that he lives in Nano's old house. So she sends a note along with the books explaining that Mimi and Nano used to live there. He emails back, inviting some of us over for dinner so he can learn more about the home's history. (I would totally do this, because that house is FULL of ghosts. Even more so than the rest of Westville, which is saying something.)
Tony's wife either died or left, it isn't really clear which, but he's raising his nine-year-old daughter alone. Her name is either Maddie or Morgan, and she has the Shakespeare histories stationed on top of a large stack of Star Wars novels. She's the kind of kid I would've enjoyed being friends with, if I had known that they existed in real life when I was that age.

While waiting for something important, Brittany and I are exhausted, we fall asleep curled up next to each other on the benches lining the hallways of Baird Hall. And Courtney was pregnant; maybe we were waiting on the baby to be born?
4-26-17,
I'm raising Courtney's daughter, she's about eleven by now, and we're in the RSU Writing Center when she asks about what happened with Sam. I struggle to find how to answer when I wake up.
5-21-17,
Robbie and I were going to a gospel singing/revival down near Glenpool on 75. She ran into a bunch of folks she knew from her square-dancing club, and I ran into Brittany. It was a dream I was disappointed to have to wake up from.
6-18-17,
I somehow found myself at a house Ashland shared with her brother Austin, with no clear idea how I got there. I'm sleeping on the couch, where an ancient, suspicious, skinny-as-a-rail tortoiseshell cat decides to warily capture me by pouncing on my chest and taking a nap. This greatly amuses Ashland.
6-18-17,
Me, Courtney, Caleb and Trevor are trying to guide Amy through a large city on foot to get somewhere by a certain time. It was very tense and unpleasant.
6-18-17,
In the kitchen of Grandpa's trailer, Ashland and I good-naturedly argue about whose turn it is to cook breakfast this morning.
6-20-17,
I ran into my best friend Brad Paisley at a Talons game, and we talked for like fifteen minutes.
8-20-17,
Nano is still alive, and we go over to the town house in Westville to have Christmas with her and Dayla's family. Also there are most of the cast from Girl Meets World, and it's like a huge reunion because I had played some important role - someone's older brother or something - on the show that never quite found its way into a real episode. I know for sure that Farkle, Smackle, Riley and Maya were in group pictures.
8-27-17,
In an emergency, I had to drive to Tulsa at night at top speed in order to get somebody to the hospital, I think. I try to veer around person walking across Highway 75, only to slide right into a car coming the opposite direction. I don't know who's fault it was, but it was the start of a bad day in reality.
9-4-17,
I was watching an episode of Lizzie McGuire written by Brandon, a classmate from RSU known for being very...abstract. The episode made no sense, and was mostly frustrating to try to figure out what was going on, but it almost clicked in weird ways.
