Mischa's Dreams

I took a weekend to myself and flew to LA to go shopping and meet up with friends. The hotel I was staying at was filled with paparazzi. My friend Michelle told me that I had to get out. She let me stay with her in her condo. Christina Ricci lived there and seemed to be a hard partying wild child. Someone asked me to stay with her for a second while they went to do something. She invited me into her condo which sort of looked like a classroom, with no windows. There was one neon green wall, and her seating was limited to plastic foldout chairs. I had convinced myself that her recent strangeness was probably just part of  PR stunt. I wondered if she had a new movie coming out or if she was related to Nina Ricci and was working with her in fashion.

Then I woke up.

I had set up a meeting with famous photographer Adam Lazerus. He canceled on me last minute saying he had to go to Denmark to shoot Heidi Klum on the the coast. He offered to fly me out and I did. He invited Jacob and I to watch the shoot. We were totally excited. When we got the coast, it was absolutely stunning. There were large cliffs and rocks with the pristine water crashing on them. We met Heidi and she was incredibly friendly. After the shoot she invited to fly us out on her gorgeous helicopter for a weekend in Athens.

Then I woke up.

I started a new organization that helped native Peruvians start ecommerce businesses. I flew a few Peruvian entrepreneurs in for a conference I put together so they could share their stories. They were really interesting to talk to and very appreciative of the organization. Jacob was already in Peru helping entrepreneurs get all the necessary equipment and helped them program their sites. I would meet him down there in a few days to meet everyone and then we were going to spend a romantic weekend exploring Peru.

I woke up in the middle of the night and then drifted off again and had this dream:

I was asked to help out at sxsw, so Jacob and I flew down for the week. I helped organize different media so they knew exactly where they were supposed to go and when, so that everything would progress smoothly throughout the day. I had some down time and watched in on an acting panel filled with asian actors. I met one of the actresses.

The next morning I saw the actress outside as I was walking from the hotel to the convention center. She looked distraught and told me that she is on her way to an interview but she forgot her mascara. I had mine with me, but didn’t offer it to her because that’s kind of gross. I kind of felt guilty about it. She found some strange beige mascara in her purse and started loading it on. Then she put on beige lipstick. She looked genuinely scary.

She asked me if I had seen the other asian actors she came to Austin with and I told her I knew where they were going to be, and directed her to them. We walked over together. When we got to the room it was filled with water. Everyone was bobbing up and down in in the water and speaking under water. She seemed happy to see them.

There was this wasp buzzing around and it was bothering me, so I told them I had to go and I’d see them later. On my way out I noticed two massive cockroaches about a foot large and 5 inches wide. They terrified me. The wasp flew toward them and landed on one of their backs. They crawled over to a nearby sink and splashed around in it. I got scared and woke up.

Jacob and I flew to Sweden with Pete and Colleen. The plan was to stay in Stockholm for two nights and then drive to Madrid and Barcelona. I loved exploring Stockholm. I did most of it alone. I was completely infatuated with their small food shops, particularly in their charcuterie. It was gloomy and rainy most of the time, but it was still unbelievably beautiful to me.

I tried to call Jacob using my blackberry and it just didn’t work. I had to go to the cell phone store to get a different card. Once I had that it was just so difficult to dial his phone number. Finally I went back to the hotel and decided that I’d just wait in the lobby. I’d run into him sooner or later. He finally came back to the hotel, presents in hand.

We freshened up and met up with Pete and Colleen for dinner. We laughed so much. We talked a lot about our plans on driving down to Spain and what an awesome idea this trip was. Jacob and I went to gas up the car at the biggest gas station I have ever seen in my life. The car ran on diesel. It was raining. Jacob looked really good under the fluorescent lights. Then he woke me up, tea in hand.

I wasn’t feeling well, so I drifted off again. I was in a bookstore/coffee shop and came across a book I’d been writing. I was kind of upset to see it printed because I hadn’t finished it. After I read the reviews I felt a better. I bought a copy to show Jacob and went home. When I got home, I found Janet Jackson on my living room sofa skimming through it, telling me how awesome it was. I went to go make her some tea. I woke up.

Jacob, Heather, Will, and I rented a shore house. Heather “guidofied” Will with a homemade spray tan, lined out some abs and spiked his hair out with a jar of pomade. The look totally suited him. We genuinely thought he looked awesome.

Heather and I put on wigs and really some really tight dresses from F21. We all went out. I didn’t do shots and was forced to clean up the house the next day. Then I woke up.
