Pride, Prejudice, and Kevin in the Bathtub

February 8, 1990 | Age 12 | Tacoma

Dear Diary,

Last night I had a really neat dream. It

was that of me watching the Bennet girls, from Pride and Prejudice, preparing for some

dinner guests. Everything was so lacey, frilly, and elegant. I could see it all good sometimes it was blurry.

Anyway, in this dream, one of the girls was playing the piano, and when she finished, she suggested that the young boy (guest) might play on the piano for awhile.

In contrast to the first girl's music, his was loud and choppy. But the famil

y didn't object, anything to impress the guests (or keep them happy).

Next one of the girls picked up a violin and began playing Minuet 2 by J.S. Bach (a piece that I have been working on with private violin lessons), and when she finished she set it down.

Then my attention was brought to a couple of girls, one turned to the other, saying "A girl playing the violin?" I believe that is where it ended, but tell me

, was the violin an instrument played only men?

My next dream was of me in La Grande, Or. (my birth town, where my heart is). My Mother, brother and I have gone to some museum that had once been a mansion type of house. I don't remember seeing any art, but only trying to see every

floor (no particular reason) before closeing time.

I kept seeing the snobby girls of my school and when I got to the bathroom (upstairs) I met Kevin. He asked me if I could help him get out onto the window sill because the snobby girls could be seen easier from there. He was holding some flowers, and I thought he was going to ask one of the girls to marry him, or 'go' with him.

By the way, there was a bathtub (old one) with curtains in front of the window that looked out onto first a lawn with bushes and a tall fence (everything was clean cut and neat), plus it was night time.

When I next looked out onto the window, the shower curtains were pulled and all was concealed.

I pulled them away, only to reveal Kevin, with his underwear around his chest like a bra, and some other girl wearing only a bra and underwear.

Their backs were turned to me as they stood on the sill, and I walked out down to the front door and walked out, it ended there.
