I had a dream that I was married to Jay Baruchel.

The dream started with us leaving our own reception, already out of our wedding attire. We got into a limo, a big one, high ceilings and lots of room. My maid of honor (who I didn’t recognize, although she reminded me of Daisy from Bones, who bothers me) and his best man (who I wish I didn’t recognize.) The four of us traveled in this limo for a good while, with Leann, Gahren and Chelsea following in a car behind us. Funny thing, I kind of looked like Zooey Deschanel, my bangs were back and I was kind of dressed like the indie cooner Jay helped me take off my boots, which were lace up, without the secret zipper in the back. We were so in love it was almost heartbreaking, well actually it make me happy. We got to our new house, a charming little thing that I had never seen before, brown and trimmed with blue. I told him I loved the blue, and we can fix the brown. He laughed and kissed me, he finds me charming. When we got out of the car Leann was already out, with Gahren leaning against the car and Chelsea still inside. I walked up to Leann and she hugged me. She looked back over my shoulder and commented on Jay’s choice of best man. “What? Jay and Matt are brothers.” Jay looked at me and then back at Mat, who was looking at me along with everyone else.
“Um, Shelby, I don’t think Matt is related to Jay Bar-” she mumbled off at the end, she’s always had trouble with his name.
“What was that?”
“Hm? What? I was just saying, I think we would have known if Matt were related to a famous actor.”
Matt snickered at that, “famous?” Jay smacked the back of his head.
I looked at Leann, who was hoping I’d let this slide, “you really need to work on say my husbands name. It is my name too, after all.”
“Wow, that is true, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, it kind of makes me wow, too”
I hugged Leann, it was an amazing hug, she is an amazing hugger. She told me to take lots of pictures. Jay and I walked back to our home, my friends watched as he made me laugh and picked me up, carrying me over the threshold.

The next thing I remember is us laying in bed, it being very late. I made him promise not to leave when he got up. I wanted him there when I woke up. I woke up to him looking back at me with the same look I was giving him. I smiled, and we just laid there for a moment, before I said, “We’re married.”
“I know right?”
“I can’t believe we actually did this!” I rolled over and ran my fingers threw my hair, I took a deep breath and looked back at him. I jumped up and started jumping on the bed. “We’re married!” Jay grabbed my legs and tickled the back of my knee, I let myself fall, he grabbed me and kissed me, then told me he loved me. I brushed his hair back, “god, this is the moment of my life. I am so happy I could just burst. Just burst into a million pieces. What would you do if I burst?”
“Make you into little stars,” we were realistically in love, it was wonderful. I smiled and kissed him, and then when I looked at him, he seemed sad.
“Hey sad boy, what’s wrong?”
“I just wish he were there”
This seemed to upset me, though I don’t let it show, “we talked about this. It was just too awkward, besides, he hasn’t talked to either one of us since he left.”
“It just felt weird, not having him there”
“I know”
“He’s just always been there”
“I know, but maybe it’s time to start a new life. It’s a new day, a new chapter. Maybe it’s time to let all that go, I have.”
“Have you?”
“Of course I have.” He looks away from me, insecure, “Hey, trust me I have.”
Silence for a moment before he looks back at me, “do you remember the first time we met?”
“How could I forget?”
“That was the day we all met.”
“You know, I’d seen you earlier, when you first walked in, you were shaking your hair from the rain.”
“Wait, I thought, I thought Kevin. . .”
“No, it was me, I saw you first.”
“That means Kevin. . .”
“Stole you away from me.”
“Wow, can you just imagine how different things would have been?”
“I always kicked myself for not walking up to you when I had the chance.”
“Doesn’t really matter now does it?”
“No, it really doesn’t.”

And then I woke up.

I think it’s interesting that my Jay Baruchel dream somehow molded with the story I am writing.

Am I the only one. . .

Who thinks that Amy Adams will do an amazing job? A fiery red head, who just so happens to be an amazing singer. I think kind of looks like her, and she is a fantastic actress. I know she is famous for playing the sweet innocent characters, but she has played other characters. As far as her voice goes, there is such thing as a voice coach. Joaquin Phoenix couldn't even sing the right key while filming Walk the Line, but got it right just before production started. Actors can mold and change themselves, that's why they're actors. It'll be great you'll see.
