Justin greets Marcus. He then explains to Lynn that he doesn't like the falling bit, but rather the sensation just after he wakes up.
Lynn can't quite understand how anyone could enjoy that, but then again, if Justin is somewhat of an adrenaline junkie, she could see how that works. Lynn wonders if Justin likes rollercoasters, as she is terrified of them. Except for the cute Baby onesjhakka said:Justin greets Marcus.

YES!goldendawn said:Marcus finds that falling in a dream is quite exhilarating; and he is glad that he always wakes up before he hits rock bottom. Marcus wonders if anyone has woken up just after dreaming, and have had the powerful emotional essence of that dream dominate their day?
Lynn also likes being alive. Lynn would NEVER go on Space Probe. Not even if she was bribed for a million dollars. At least she thinks so. Lynn hasn't been bribed yet.jhakka said:Justin, in fact, hate's rides. He is scared of heights and rather likes being alive. Having said that, though, the one time he went on Space Probe 7 at Wonderland was awesome.
Justin's dreams don't dominate his days unless he doesn't know if they were real or not.
HAHAHA! Lynn laughs. Lynn does that too. Except her jokes are even lamer, and the silences after... are even more silent.jhakka said:Justin states that it was only a one time thing, and wouldn't do something like that again. The adrenaline rush was great, though.
He notes that he cracks a lot of stupid jokes when he is scared. "I can see my house from here" and such.
Justin wonders if Lynn has ever done so in a scary (or at least suspenseful) movie. Justin and his friend Damian were doing so in Signs. They were terrified during the opening credits, and Justin's other friend, Michael, grabbing his leg and making him jump at least a foot into the air when an alien tried to grab whatshisface's hand under the pantry door.glitterfairy said:HAHAHA!

Justin states that humour seems to be his reaction to everything and wonders if that makes it ineffective.goldendawn said:Humour diffuses fear; its an instinctive defense, Marcus supposes. It gives the individual the power stripped from them by fear.
EDIT: Marcus greets Alan in return. He is suprised that a falling dream had that much of an effect on Alan. Marcus has been saddened and frightened by dreams, but never so intesely that he would wake up with tears.
can you please please please try to remember!!!!glitterfairy said:Lynn has no particularly strong feelings for her Chinese (Malaysian really) heritage, and feels no ties towards it at all. She is not particularly asian in everything but appearance. Lynn tries her best to avoid being closed-minded, as many asians are, Lynn has a very weak academic side even though she comes from a highly academic background (father has Masters in Mathematics, both parents were Dux), and to put it bluntly, Lynn is not very proud of her heritage. Lynn's EE2 teacher suggested that she read ... argh, Lynn has forgotten name of book but is is about 3 asian girls who were not proud of asian heritage.
Lynn remembers that it was a Yr 11 prescribed book (at least she thinks so). Lynn is trying to think. It was not wild swans... grr, Lynn will try asking friends who actually studied ..ujuphleg said:WHEW!! hello all.
Susan has just waded through 10 pages of Important Please Read
can you please please please try to remember!!!!
P.S. who HASN'T read my MW?
Justin is disappointed in Marcus, and expected so much more.goldendawn said:Marcus believes that it is only as effective as Justin believes it is.
Lynn wishes she could have been there, as laughing hysterically at lame things is so very entertaining.jhakka said:Justin is disappointed in Marcus, and expected so much more.
In any case, it seems to ease the tension a bit, even if it only does result in him and Damian laughing hysterically at very lame things.
