Speech anxiety & Dream interpretation

I'm in speech competition in three days and I'm quite nervous. I gave a persuasive speech about breast implants and was chosen, by my classmates, to go to the school-wide speech competition. I'm practicing it tonight and it's kicking my butt. I keep tripping over my words...I just hope I don't have this much problem tomorrow and wednesday when I have to do them in public.

Onto nicer thoughts....Darius. Well, he's still in the picture and even more so now because of the past weeks updates. Laura told me that she talked to him about me this week. He said that he does like me and that I'm "girlfriend material" and he's starting to re-evaluate his love of CiruictCity. Basically what that means is that he's hopefully going to give me another date and maybe we'll finally get to be a couple? He said that he's afraid that he won't have enough time for me but if anyone isn't going to have the time, it's going to be me. Darn right I'd make time though, I really REALLY like him. Laura's birthday is this Tuesday and a bunch of us are going out so we're going to see how that goes and go from there(Darius and I). I've also had a few dreams about him lately and I'm going to write one out cause it's funny and I want to remember it always.
The Dream: It started out on a cruise ship. Me and a bunch of my friends(no family, just friends) are on a cruise ship and a big storm rolls in. The storm was bad, like in the movie "The Perfect Storm". Anyway, I'm chosen to live and I can take four friends with me but the rest are going to go down with the ship(yes,like Titanic). I, of course, choose Darius cause he's my boyfriend in the dream. I choose Elaine and two other cuban children(not sure where they come into play but that's who I chose). No one else, from real life, is there so it's not like I'm just leaving Lauren and Angela and whoever, they just weren't there. Anyway, the "water taxi" comes and picks us up but leaves before Elaine can get her stuff and jump on. I freak out cause the guy drove away without Elaine so we go back but we're too late and see the ship completely sink and a bubble pops showing that there's nothing left of the ship. I'm crying and we get to the island. Darius and I are now the only ones around and he's got his arm around me and his hoody is shielding us from the rain/wind from the scary story. Not sure where the other people went to but they're no where to be seen and Darius and I are just sitting on the deserted island beach. Then we climb up the hill, after the rain goes away, and look out(like Tom Hanks' character in 'Cast Away') and we see a person off in the distance, walking towards us. We go to see who it is and it's Elaine. She said that she tried to jump into the "water taxi" as it was driving away and she fell into the ocean. She apparently outswam tghe storm and sharks and made it to the island(which was probably a mile from the ship before it sank. She had hair like Don King, it was all froed since it was wet but I was glad that she made it safely. Then I woke up.

Mom thinks that the reason that Darius and Elaine were there is because they're very influential people in my life and I admire them. She cracked up about Elaine outswimming sharks and the storm, which is quite funny when you think about it. But yeah, I've had some weird ass dreams lately and most have had Darius in them, go figure. I swear, I could marry that guy someday, he's just great. He stares at me at work a lot and it's not just me think this in my head. Alex threw something at my the other day and Darius saw him do it and gave him a mean look. I really think(and hope that I'm right on this) that Darius likes me and wants to be with me but is just scared. Laura told him that I'm not going to wait forever so hopefully he gets off his butt and steps up to the plate and asks me to be his girlfriend. *crosses fingers*

Well, I've procrastinated enough, I need to start my history homework. Since we're going out on Tuesday, I need to get ahead on my homework that is due Wednesday.
