Minecraft kiss plans, and skiing with David Schmeding's family - 2021-02-14 - TOGoS's Journal

I'd been text chatting with Moriah for a bit and I think I said something about wanting to kiss her, and then she said "let's kiss (online) at [some time]". The time was something like 8:40. Maybe she meant tomorrow morning. And by "online" I assumed she meant in Minecraft.

Then it was time for us to log off and go about other things, but "Moriah wants to kiss me in Minecraft" was in the front of my head the whole time. Part of me was a little worried that I didn't remember exactly what time/online place she had proposed, but mostly I wasn't too worried about it.

I was in a group with 3 other kids, one of whom was David Schmeding, and for our project each of us wes supposed to make a video of ourselves doing a specific sporty thing. David Schmeding had skiing, and I had kayaking. But I has skis and wanted to do skiing also, so I tagged along on his skiing trip.

We were at some ski park. There was lots of snow and the trail was nicely groomed. There was a girl with purple hair and I wondered if she was his sister. I didn't know he had one? But as the dream went on, his group got larger and larger. Maybe it wasn't just David's family/ski group, maybe I was just seeing other random people at the ski park.

It was unclear if this place was meant for XC skiing or downhill, because it had long gradual trails but also a big hill. Similar to ski parks from other dreams. I got up to the top of ths hill around the same time David's family did, though I wasn't really 'with' them. I was skiing on my own, here.

From the top (or a relatively high-elevation section of the park, anyway, where most trails seemed to lead downwards) was a very fun/easy/wide downhill route that I wanted to take back to the entrance and then head home, but first I was investigating the buildings that were up there at the top. One seemed to just ramp down to a below-ground-level floor from the entrances on 2 sides. What the heck is that room for? In another room someone was a bag of barbeque-flavored potato chips, and I wanted to be eating some of those. But I didn't know whose they were so I left them alone. I also wanted to tell everyone I saw that Moriah had invited me to kiss her in Minecraft, but I knew these strangers wouldn't care and would think I was being weird. I guess I had taken my skis off because while looking for them I found a pair of pink skis and pointy poles, and they seemed nice but were not mine. Eventually found mine. Do I usually only ski with one pole?

Eventually I headed out, and found myself back on the southwest corridor bike path, crossing Monroe and Regent. There was a little bit of snow on some trees but mostly it had melted. In the middle of the intersection was actually a pretty sizeable park, and I was skiing across the grass using a broom instead of a pole. I was skiing (or running) at a very satisfying pace, and it felt good to be moving. I heard a boom from my right (towards the stadium) and wondered if someone was shooting cannon balls into the park. Well nothing fell on me, thankfully. Though I imagined cannon balls landing on the grass nearby. Not a nice thing to do to the grass even if you don't expect someone to be skiing across, I thought.

I left the park and got back onto the bike path, and continued to move fast.
