Dream (ii)

I had a most concerning dream last night about suddenly being forced into the lead role in a promenade perfomance of a piece of physical theatre, ranging across a valley in the north. Even though it was supposed to be improvisational, I was most concerned that I didn’t know the words. Got a standing ovation, though.

Then I got home, climbed a ladder and discovered that my ceiling was actually made of ten inches of flour, and that under all that, which just crumbled away under the slightest bit of pressure was a layer of family history – photographs, books, harlequin romance novels (not my family, someone else’s) – and then the real ceiling.

And then I was in a forest, and a ghost said “remember me? I’m going to terrify you” and I said I’d like to see him try, so he went “well, fuckya, then” and exploded my house.

And then I woke up.

Could have been the alcohol, I suppose….

By way of explanation…

This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.
 
More info about this site and its author.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
