Death by Avalanche

I was on a mountain with Chris and Emily and somehow I was able to see this other guy somewhere farther up the mountain who started an avalanche as a part of an experiment, not knowing that there were people on the mountain. The avalanche came down and I saw it coming and that I couldn't outrun it so I put myself facedown in the snow before it hit so I would know which way was down and then it came and covered us and I put my hands behind my back clear snow out to give me room and turned around and realized I was only covered with like 6 inches of snow so I got out and so did the others. Then it happened again and I tried the same thing but this time I there was lots of snow and I tried to do the face down thing again but there was too much snow and it made me roll around before I stopped, covered in what I assume was a whole lot of snow this time because I remember it being very heavy on my back. I thought to myself that I should try to start digging my way out but there is no way to know which way was up and which way was down. So then I thought I would just dig myself a tiny place and then drop something and the gravity would tell me which way was down (I think I learned that from McGyver). But before I could do that I realized I must be facing the ground because the snow was heavy on my back and well... same concept. So I was starting to struggle with breathing by this time and I tried to put my hands behind my back to clear out a space so I could turn around but there was too much snow and it was packed down too tight and it was just too heavy on my back. I really couldn't take deep breaths now and I stopped moving for a second and realized I was going to die soon. Then I took my last breath and I knew it was my last one. That was it.
Then I woke up and took the liberty of breathing deeply for a little bit.
Now Mom thinks I have sleep apnea.

trivial pursuit egypt

I had a dream last night... remember 2001: A Space Odyssey? Remember the horrible period of time close to the end where you're just looking at space for like a half hour then the dude is in some crazy room and you watch him age? Ok well I was in that room but I didn't feel weird or anything. I was talking to Pastor Dave. We were discussing something about the church and I was moving pieces of drywall. Then all of a sudden I was on a pirate ship with my friends and we were playing trivial pursuit but the version was all questions about Egypt and all of the cards were written in hieroglyphics. That's all I remember. I don't even remember winning or losing.
