  The electricity for over 20,000 people is Spokane went out last night. Thanks to this, my alarm clock did not wake me up. Thanks to my parents being awesome, I did not have to go to school. The winds reached hurricane strength (seventy miles per hour in some more remote places) and there was an awful lot of rain.
Sitting in my bed in my pajama pants, singing to "Long December" I didn't even have to try to feel happy. Maybe I was in such a good mood because I actually slept. I had a really vivid dream, too. I kept remembering it all day. I was at the Opera House and John Mayer was having a concert. I brought a elephant on a leash. Somehow we got backstage because of the elephant. Like in all dreams, everything seemed really normal. John decided he liked the elephant, and sang a song about it. I spent the rest of the day writing really bad, temporarily prophetic poetry and listening to slow songs. Affectionately... Anna
