I was driving around Belmont in this black SUV and it was being a pain in the ass like the power steering was off or it was just being weird while turning, and I was trying to figure out where to go since I was supposed to see you and then there was some wedding. So I pulled into a bertos to order tacos and then went to find a seat and kept knocking things over. A lady brought them out to me and they were packaged to go even though I wanted to eat them there, so I got up and went to the powder room to check my make up and collect myself. I had my make up case with me instead of the bag I usually travel with, and then Ashe was standing next to me on my right saying my mama was hilarious and I was all what? And I looked up on the mirror and she was behind me wearing this pink floral top she used to wear yeeears ago and was holding a bag of make up pads or something to give me saying I’d forgotten them. And I was all oh.. uhh.. thank you. What’s funny about this is I was having my doubts as I drove around cause it seemed like a small town where things were spaced out, kind of like Huntsville.. and even though I’ve never been to Belmont, I have been to SF and have taken transit to Daly City and saw how green it was and how dense everything is there. I mean.. that area isn’t as densely packed as actual SF but still. Weird.
I was sitting on the floor in my room and it was laid out differently, I went around the corner to a closet the size of a hallway, and in the shared wall to my room there was shelving with these plastic tubs that looked like supplies from friends. One had shampoo and other stuff and I believed it was from Forge. There were others, and when I got to the end against the back wall I found stuff that looked like Jay had left. There were a bunch of stage can lights sitting on the floor, some large item and after moving it around I noticed there were two antennas attached on the back so I guessed network equipment.. which really confused me since it was with Jay’s stuff, and these really weird sunglasses that looked ridiculous and I guess were some special edition collectors item. I sifted in a box on the shelf above the items I just mentioned and found a bunch of puffy loofahs and some other stuff and was all… srsly? I didn’t know there was a bunch in there, now I can use these instead of buying more. Then left the closet to go back into the room and sat on the couch across from a girl in a yellow sun dress who I guess was my friend. We were talking when she suddenly passed out on the couch and started having a seizure. So I went over to her and moved the glass table away from her, made sure everything was cleared away from her, and supported her back so she could stay on her side. She was bringing up some of the coffee she’d just sipped and some other stuff. When she regained consciousness I asked if she was alright and she said what? and had forgotten what we were discussing. Her parents had come through my bedroom door.. that was now somehow the front door and were trying to figure out the trigger, then saw my gray cat (suddenly I had a gray cat) and said she was allergic to them so maybe that was it. They helped her up and took her home.
I looked to my right and my closet was one of those normal ones with the sliding doors except if you walked in and went left it lead to another room. There was also a back door with a window in the original room where I started. So when I got to the room the closet lead me to it was some kind of front room and it was furnished kind of like a living room, and there was a door that lead out of the building on the left. I went back to the hall to find the closet and on the right there was a hidden room I was hoping was some hidden bathroom and it was kind of a hidden laundry room / bathroom and I was all nice.. the washer and dryer against the wall were soo ooold they looked like the original ones in the house I grew up in we ended up replacing. I wondered how many years it had been since the last time someone had walked in there. There was some ugly green tile on the walls, like that seafoam medical green… mmm it was darker than seafoam but not forest green, idk how to describe it. I left the room and noticed another door straight down the hall instead of taking the one on the right that went to the closet, and it was another hidden room in the back that looked like an office. There was an old phone and an answering machine that had unheard messages. There were some other things from like 20 years ago.
I picked up the phone to see if the lan line was still working and it was, and messages started playing and it sounded like the original guy who had just been here earlier to take my friend home. It sounded like he got stuck at work and was going to be late coming home whenever he left that message. I noticed a pink case and in it was a tablet, which really stood out since it was a piece of modern tech. I walked back out but this time I went into the main room up front instead of back to the closet and someone knocked on the door. It was my parents, and mom was super excited and sat at the table. They had a camcorder with them and was trying to get it to work, she tried to explain the previous time I saw them both she was saying certain things because she was pregnant, which I didn’t really pick up on, and I was all omg. Because this was impossible after me anyway, so I hugged her and she was all excited. And then dad barged through the door into the hall (it was now a glass door) into my secret not so secret bathroom and came out and I was all heeeey you can’t just go into any room you want like that, and mom scolded him and apologized to me and they left. And I thought that’s great but even if this had happened three years ago when I was 23, at least he’d be 3 now and.. how old is she gonna be when he’s in high school? These numbers are way off since I wasn’t 23, 3 years ago. lololol I was trying to figure out numbers and years and apparently this was going to be a baby brother.
I walked back to the hall which was larger now, and some kid I didn’t know like maybe high school age idk was wandering in there and I was all dude where did you come from? You can’t be back here, get out. And he went through a door that used to be where the closet was. I went through it and this was a large arcade and it was a public space, so I was trying to figure out the boundaries between this establishment and my area, walked around, found another room with some fancy carpeting and these huge antiques from China, and took the side door on the other side of the room and it brought me back to the hall where my parents were standing. I guess they knew about all that stuff, and I was all… can I have one of the large antique vases? She didn’t seem reluctant but I don’t remember how she answered.
