LARP-ing and Modern Theory of Western Worlds

Last night I did my own chemistry experiment: Would 3 sleeping pills that expired in June of 2006 still make me tired?

They did.
Extremely tired.

In fact, around 4am, I found myself slurring my speech slightly and finding it exceedingly hard to concentrate. Then I decided it was time for bed.

I had a few crazy and intense dreams that woke me up every 3-4 hours, but the last one I remember was a very special/hilarious one...

All of our friends were participating in a large LARP (Live Action Role Playing) tournament. Our objective was to scale the very large castle, kill all the minions, and finally destroy the King. Mikey and I started off as partners, and after we took down a handful of guys, we split up to search out different hallways. Then I found Buddha who was backed into a corner by 3 attackers and tried to save him, but he was slain. I bested the remaining two foes and continued on. I passed a Conor and Rookie who were battling what looked like one of those Chinese new year dragons. Like I said, this dream was pretty hilarious. After climbing the stairwell I met up with Dan in the balcony. He was protecting the last remaining princess (for bonus points). The other 3 princesses had been captured and put in a cage on the balcony. As we tried to break open the cage, the King appeared at the top of the stairs, blocking us in to certain doom. Then Dan stood in front of me and pulled out his sword and a dagger (which was also a hidden item worth bonus points...Dan is apparently very good at LARP-ing). I somehow lost my sword in the craziness of the moment and after a quick, but epic battle the King stabbed Dan, but he dropped his sword behind him. I snatched it up and then reached over Dan's shoulder and stabbed the King in the chest and then sliced his neck. The King was dead. Then trumpets sounded and all my fellow participants came out. All 4 princesses were very grateful, and surprisingly, they were all smokin' hot. The host of the LARP tourney presented me with the crown and congratulated me, and then I said, "I had a lot of help from my friends", at which point Mikey gave me a one armed hug and Buddha patted me on the back. It was really weird and hilarious. But then we went out to B-Dubs and ate wings with the hot princesses.

-The End-

"All 4 princesses were very grateful, and surprisingly, they were all smokin' hot."
Why does this not surprise me at all, ha.

And I'm glad I got to fight a dragon in your dream.
