Heh, I had a fairly interesting dream last night;

So there’s a production of The Book of Mormon opening in Manchester soon, which I’m really looking forward to as I’ve seen the show in the West End and I LOVED it. For those who don’t know, it’s a musical by the South Park creators that essentially pokes fun at religion. Satire isn’t normally my thing and some of the dialogue/song lyrics are downright offensive/racist but it’s so genuinely well-written and the characters are so likeable that it just WORKS. (Seriously, half the times I was laughing I just kept thinking “I should NOT be laughing at this, but I can’t help it cause it’s too damn funny!”)

Anyway, the dream - I was in a restaurant and some of the cast were eating there. When some people recognised them they decided to perform part of the show to the rest of the room. Everyone stops eating and looks on while the cast start acting out some of the show. At that moment, I need the toilet, and as I’ve already seen the show in London I don’t hesitate to leave the room cause I’m not missing anything.

As I come out of the toilet, there’s a hallway leading to other rooms before the door leading back to the restaurant hall, and in the hallway I see some of the older women from the restaurant have come outside of the hall and are sat down. One of them is crying and wiping her eyes while her friends are consoling her.

I can’t remember the individual words they were saying, but it was obvious from what her friends were telling her what had happened - clearly the woman being consoled had gotten offended by the subject matter of BoM and had called out the cast for daring to be a part of something so “vile”, but clearly the rest of the restaurant were enjoying it and had heckled her in response, upsetting her even more and obviously she’d left the room out of embarrassment.

One of the restaurant managers was going over to console her and that’s when I woke up, but one thing I found interesting was that even though I can’t really remember what her friends were telling her, it sounded like, unlike their friend, they were NOT offended and were trying to convince her there was nothing wrong with what the cast were doing.

Now, I work in a theatre so I know full well what some of the pretentious older types can be like, so I found it amusing that she was the only one bothered by it and even her friends didn’t care. She even had short blonde hair (if you know, you know...)

was it so good though that you had to dream someone was offended rather than everyone enjoying it in reality?

Nearly everyone I've come into contact with has had the sniffle bug that's going round...

I feel it's only a matter of time! 😒 😓

@IncendiaryLemon - have you moved house yet?

We just got the keys today! We've most most of the small stuff over, but because my parents have tiny cars, we can't do the big stuff until we hire a van, which we're doing on Friday, which will be when we (hopefully) actually move in for good.

Yeah best of luck with the move, and with reorganising your collection. If I had to move that’d be the most time consuming part!

It's a little frustrating at the moment, all my anime is at the new house in boxes but I can't shift my shelves until Friday so I can't actually do anything until then :(

*Squeeeeeeze*

Just keep thinking of Friday when you can finally move in and start to get settled. It is frustrating (and can be stressful), but just picture yourself being settled and enjoying the new house 👍😺

I've moved about 7 times throughout my life! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
