Talk about extensive dreaming! Aerobies in the high school halls, talk with a teacher about/denying the same, ticket purchasing for multiple shows and concerts elsewhere in the high school (with hundreds of people in line down one of the stairwells), walking with a sheet of tickets (valued from $12 to $272 each) because one of the ticket-sellers wasn't paying attention; table discussions with young siblings where I took the spotlight, a frustrated-by-inattention young brother deciding to attract attention with a makeshift flamethrower--spraypaint in an adjustable handle/holder--by setting a small fire in his sister's room, said fire getting out of control and him calling to me for help, my location of the fire inside one of the bedroom walls--my former bedroom in my parents' house, behind a small hole in the wall light fixture--and attempts to put the fire out by dumping water into said hole, first from a bucket, then via a funnel and tube, which worked.
