sabotabbyI had a job as a body piercer. A client wanted me to pierce her top and bottom lips together with a row of industrial-strength staples, essentially sealing her mouth shut. I might add that she wanted me to do this at a dinner party hosted by my parents. The other catch was that she didn't trust me to do it on her until I'd done it on someone else. The only person that I could think of who was crazy enough to do something like that was me.
So, while my parents made dinner in the next room, I sat with the piercing gun and put rings through my lips. I was interrupted only once, halfway through the procedure, but I was still able to drawl out of the corner of my mouth.
The first ring was excruciatingly painful and brought tears to my eyes. Every ring after that got slightly easier, until the last one, which I barely felt at all.
In waking news:
Toronto people, please come to the Wobbly film night. It will be fun. And if it isn't, there will be booze there.
EDIT: Are any of you good at making animated icons from videos? If so, anyone who makes me an icon of either the panda going down the slide and crashing into the other panda, or the panda sticking its nose directly into the camera gets to be my new hero.

Did you figure out the meaning of your dream? Though I don't know what your dream means, here are some clues:
The dinner party is being given by your mother and father. A dinner party is a sort of formal event, which suggests social protocol. This is therefore probably a dream about how people are supposed to relate. Since it's your parents, it might be about how two people in a marriage/romantic relationship/whatever are supposed to relate.
My intuition tells me to link this up with silence, because of the sealing of the mouth. So I would say that, perhaps, not speaking is part of your protocol, but it's painful at first. But now maybe you've made a habit of it. No one notices, though, certainly not your parents, who are in the other room.
Does this make any sense? I feel like Dion Warwick here.
