I just had the most awesome nerd dream. No seriously, I never dream about celebrities, but I did last night and HOLY CRAP, HOLY HOLY CRAP, it was awesome.
- - -
It starts out at a public 'aquatic center'. In Canada, they have these like indoor pool places called aquatic centres. They're basically public pools - but a bunch of them; Kiddie wading area, wave pool, current streams, regular pool, lap pool, and massive spa pool.
I was about 17 or 18 years old and I think I went with family.
The spa was a fairly decent sized U shaped pool that only went about 3 1/2 feet deep all around and had a built in bench that went all the way around it. It had jets like every 4 feet and was pretty hot/warm.
Anyway, I was sitting in the spa pool. It was pretty packed to the point where people were sitting arms touching, for the most part. Directly across the pool was Tim Lincecum. Yes, pitcher for the giants. This wasn't the Tim Lincecum, super long haired, cy young winner, Loki lookalike also. This was 17 year old Timmy. Gosh I'm trying to find a young picture, but I can't! LOL
OH I GOT ONE:
Anyway, being 17 year olds, we were getting kinda bored just sitting there in the spa, so he was starting some shit with me, LOL. He would put his hands under the water, make them glow slightly green and force a current underwater that would splash me in the face. At first, I didn't realize it because there's water kinda bubbling all over the place. It's a spa. He did it a few times, and I only picked up to it because of his chuckling reaction. The third time, I was paying attention to it and he definitely glowed greenish underwater and splashed me larger that time.
I gave him this look like, dude, you have no idea who you're messing with. My hands were on my lap and I quickly opened my hands up as if to receive a gift. They started glowing purple and angrily unleashed a huge (well compared to his fucking baby splashes) splash of water on him.
The world wasn't supposed to know of my ability, so I quickly got out of the spa, grabbed my towel (that just so coincidentally was a black cape with a hoodie). I ran over to this bleacher bench area to watch the surfers at the wave pool (to try to blend in and hide).
Of COURSE the asshole follows me! He sits right next to me in his freakin' black hoodie cape also and i'm trying hard not to freakin' be attracted to this jerk off.
T: Hey, I saw you glow. What other things can you do?
M: ... (as I try to ignore his enthusiasm)
T: You don't have to worry. I've got abilities also. You're not alone. I've never met anyone else that has them.
M: I'm the only one I know also.
T: Hey lets start over again. I'm Tim and my good friends call me Timmy.
*He reaches over to give me a handshake and as we shake hands, we get this 'buffed' feeling. Our hands get warm and glow this lightly faint golden glow and we feel energized randomly.
T: Whoa, that was weird.
M: I guess it happens only to people like us.
T: You still haven't told me what your abilities are.
M: It's hard to explain. I'm training to become a Demon Hunter.
T: WHAT? No way? I'm training also. What are the odds in meeting another Demon Hunter? I think there are only about 10 in the entire world. I've never even heard of a girl DH aside from the ones in history.
M: Well, I guess we do exist (snarkily). Who's your Master?
T: As funny as this sounds, my master is Gandalf. I haven't actually met him before. I just have this orb to communicate with him.
M: Haha, funny. Me too. :)
T: My next mission is on Tuesday. I have to go to Dark Mountain.
M: Oh crazy. My mission is on the same day.
*I pull out my cellphone and show him the date, place, and time. It happens to match his date, place, and time.
T: So I'm assuming this is supposed to be a co-op mission? What are the odds that we would run into each other the weekend before our mission?
M: I actually wasn't meant to be here. Gandalf told me to sit in the spa to loosen my muscles for a bit. I've been pretty irritable and edgy lately.
T: He told me the same thing.
(OH GANDALF you silly schnerg!)
T: So I guess we should start collaborating on our plans on facing this place.
M: I'm a solo class. I don't know if I really need any help. I've had a plan for a while.
T: There are lots of elites on Dark Mountain. No offense, but it's not a place where most people survive without help.
M: With all do respect, you don't know me and what my abilities entail. I've developed a tanking offspec and should be fine.
T: We all have that.
M: What??
T: Come on over here, I've gotta show you something.
*Hesitantly, I follow him over to the co-ed changing area. We go into a handicapped change room. His eyes start glowing fel-green and all of a sudden, kinda transparent green wings pop out of his back and two small green horns erupt from his forehead.
T: See, I can do it too.
M: Omg, that's awesome!!!
T: Take out yours!
*I shut my eyes peacefully, then when they opened, they were full of purple glowing light. My wings slowly opened as my horns came out.
T: Awww, that was the most graceful metamorph I've ever seen.
M: (glaring at him), My aggro table is higher. I can feel it.
T: Yeah, probably. I just got this stance a few weeks ago. I'm still adjusting.
M: I've had it since I was 4.
T: Well, if we need a tank for any of these parts, you will be doing it then. My resistances are only about 4.5%.
M: (feeling cocky) Mine totaled are about 50%.
T: Is that why you're purple instead of green?
M: I'm not sure. I've been purple as long as I can remember.
We end the conversation by exchanging contact information to prepare for our upcoming mission.

Dark Mountain Day
He shows up in a beat up black ford ranger with a black tonneau cover.
(It's funny that I found this picture, because he actually used to drive a truck irl, lmao what are the odds?)
I show up in my old civic, but instead of it being white, it was black.
What's funny about it is that this car above, is that it totally looked like mine (irl) - rims and all, just black instead of white.
Anyway, as soon as I get there, he's already there waiting. He teases me because I had hello kitty wings stickered to the back of my window (along with angel hello kitty car stuff all over the place). What's funny is that irl, this is how i decorated my vehicle.
It was this theme, lol just on the inside of my car (carseats, steering wheel cover, automatic shifting cover, dashboard cover, etc.). Even the center rings on my rims were blue to match and my aftermarket cool air intake was bright blue, just to match. The OCD runs strong in this one, lmao. This was all IRL - but just in my dream, it happened to be on a black car instead. (God i'm trying to find a picture of my car on photobucket, but I can't.)
Anyway, he makes fun of my car in a teasing manner.
T: You have to show off the wings somehow...
M: What? I can't help what I like.
T: It's okay, me too.
*He brings me over to his truck and on the back of his black ranger, he had a pair of small demon wings stickered onto the bed door and on the front of his truck had a pair of demon horns. Much like this:
Except smaller and think, more Illidan looking.

After gawking at the cars for a bit, we had to get our shit going.
M: We should contact Gandalf and find out what to avoid or do for this mission.
T: Not to be a complete nerd, but I don't use the orb to contact Gandalf. I have my orb tethered to my phone.
(I'm thinking that it's pretty cute that he's done that, but he doesn't know the level of nerdy that I am)
M: Me too. :)
T: What? How did you do that?
I brought him over to the trunk of my car and open it. There's a bunch of crossbows/bows/ammo/grenades, on the right, and on the left, there's a fairly large locked black box. I open the black box to show a digital command center that connects to satellite and my phone. Imagine the box that holds the quidditch stuff - the quaffle, the snitch, and the bludgeons. It was like that but it secured the orb in the center.
T: OH man, I just have my orb sitting on my carseat.
M: We die if that orb dies. You've gotta protect it. Bring it over here.
I lift that top row of stuff out of the box to expose a secondary orb carrying spot underneath it.
M: Put it here.
He puts it in the spot, we secure it and call Gandalf.
T: Yes Gandalf, we've gotten acquainted. Yes, yes. Poison? Okay.
M: Will you let me talk to him?!
T: Alright, no no, mmhmm. Yes, sir. I'll relay the message. /click
M: WTF MAN? We're supposed to be a team?
T: He specifically said that I had to relay the messages to you. That it was a trust building exercise.
M: (bitchily) Well, what do we need to do then, boss?
T: He said there were lots of poisonous creatures up there - gas clouds, acid, poison darts. We need to have plate on & respiratory protection.
M: k
We start putting on our gear and it looks identical. SO SO FUCKING HOT, LOL. Seriously, seriously, fucking amazingly hot.
It was black leather covered by golden plate.
I almost want to go onto my diablo character, JUST to take a screenshot to show what it looked like. You know what? I WILL.
This was taken last night - I was doing torment 2. I tried torment 3, but my gear was just not sufficient enough yet. It would take fucking forever. Chris ended up wanting to play, so I rushed him through master because he doesn't have the expansion.
Anyway, this is what I looked like - aside from the pink and white. LOL It was all black and gold. He was the same - without the fairy wing shoulders. It was very very very very hot.
He said to bring out our 'respiratory protection' and it happened to be the mask from Borderlands, lmao. I KNOW, super nerd, right?
M: Where did you get your gear from?
T: Funny enough, Ms. Lee from the ballet studio down town. She makes me pick it up from the back. Where do you get it from?
M: Mr. Lee from the Tae Kwon Do studio downtown. :)
- - -
T: I just got my Marauder's cape, but I won't be using it this time.
M: Why not? Isn't that legendary?
(As we leave, he shows me his cape. The stats are amazing, but not really meant for a co-op.)
T: I have another cape from another mission that I did that allows invisibility for my party. I'll be equipping that one today.
M: Nice, I have an engineering cloak that provides significant threat reduction and camouflage. :)
- - -
We get to the base of the mountain and encounter our first mob. He notices how 'tiny' I am and starts teasing me a bit.
T: Is that ever a hindrance? I mean you've gotta be the tiniest DH i've ever seen. Doesn't that make it hard to get over stuff?
M: Sometimes yes, but It makes me good at other things.
T: Like what? Being small?
There were two elite mobs next to each other. The only way to get through would either be to fight them (which would be lethal) or to go around stealthily.
M: See those two mobs, I can stealth inbetween them.
T: Lets not make this a 'who has a bigger penis' match.
I stealthed between the mobs and made it to the entrance of the cave/mountain.
M: Get over here, McCocky.
T: There is no way I am going to make it through there undetected. There isn't a point to failing this mission right off the bat.
I stealthed back through the mobs back to Tim.
T: Okay, you definitely make up for your size in other abilities. I stand corrected.
M: Lets go!
We start sprinting up the hill and reach a mini boss; A mini-Minotaur. It wasn't that mini.
T: There isn't room to kite him here.
M: I can evasion tank him, but you'll need to pop wings just in case his aggro is unpredictable.
T: I'll metamorph for higher dps. That should make up for the lack of dps.
M: EXCUSE ME?
T: We'll you'll be in tank stance, right?
As I roll my eyes and pull the mini boss, I think I'm out dpsing him easily in my stupid 'tank stance'. Feeling confident, I continue doing what I'm doing. The boss enrages and starts SLAMMING me.
M: OH SHIT, he really hurts!
Tim double metamorphs (yeah it was fucking amazing) in both stances. He managed to combine the dps stance & tanking stance and since he didn't practice tanking as much in that stance, didn't use provocation. He MISDIRECTED to himself - then shot his bow at the boss. OMGOMGOMG *SQUEEEEEEE* XD It was pretty cute. I did make fun of him though, because he shot his bow horizontally (despite his accuracy).
T: I can't hold him long so hurry up and take him down.
M: YOU shoot your bow horizontally?! WTF who taught you how to shoot? You're gonna shoot gangster style?
T: Fucking DPS this boss!
I switch to my dps metamorph and shoot him with everything I had. We end up taking down this epic monster and we both tanked him & both dpsed. I checked my dps meter on my watch and although it said we both did comparable dps, because he saved me and switched stances, his dps took a bit of a hit after so I ended up slightly beatinig him. I was impressed.
M: You still managed to keep up, despite combining stances. I didn't even know you could do that.
T: Yeah, that's my specialty. I can do both at the same time.
M: I can't do that. I can do one or the other - well, just not at the same time.
T: Maybe it's why we're assigned to work together. We balance each other out, I guess.
SMILES AND PAUSES
T: I don't have any health regeneration food with me, unfortunately.
I handed him some green tea hard candies.
M: Here, I made them myself. They restore health & energy quickly as long as you're eating them. :)
T: I don't know about green tea candies. It sounds kinda weird! (He says jokingly)
M: They're delicious, quit your crying, Princess.
T: Thank you. :)

AND THEN I WOKE UP. I WOKE UP SAYING NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'M NOT DONE YET!!!!!!!
IT WAS THAT GOOD.
/sigh.
MANNNN. MANNN. MANNNNNNNNNNNNN.
My version of sexy dreams are not scantilly clad guys being sexual. My sexy fucking awesome hotness scale dreams are of Demon Hunters in leather and plate. Fucking magic cloaks and metamorph tanking. SO FUCKED UP NERDY?!!!
I LOVE IT.
