Last night I dreamed about my friend Serena from high-school. We've since lost touch and I haven't thought of her in ages. Anyway, in my dream she was wearing a pair of those ridiculous Victoria's Secret velour pants that say "LOVE" across the bum or thigh. She smiled secretively and pointed to the logo and said "No, but I really am all love, this is me, I am love." And I believed her. It made perfect sense.
The thing with Serena in real life is that she was (probably still is) a total star. Extremely beautiful with a hundred watt smile (the kind that even extensive orthodontics could never imbue me with). She played the french horn and won some kind of contest that involved her playing the Mozart concerto for French horn with a major orchestra at a major location (I forgot both, but at the time it was a big deal). Anyway, point being is that Serena really was really nice, really beautiful and really talented. And no one could hate her. And no one did. The last I heard of her was that people were looking for her in NYC after 9/11. Apparently she'd been living there and doing some kind of cool thing involving installation art as well as something lucrative. Some people said banker, some people said modeling. A group Serena devotees handed out flyers of her pic and made the rounds in the wake of the disaster. However, it turned out Serena was partying in Belize and had not been tuned into the news or the misconception that she was living and working near WTC in NYC. Relief all around.
So that was my dream. Apparently Serena is Jesus.
