I was sent by Filemark to India and was wearing a light dress, wandering the streets looking for my hotel. There were lots of dark people out. At one intersection, 3 gunmen opened fire over our heads and all of us pedestrians hit the ground. I was worried about Bob & James if they shot me, figured I personally wouldn't care because I'd be dead.
The police came and we went back to normal. I found a market and passed the "American food" in favor of authentic Indian. I was remembering a dream-friend (can't think of a real one) that went to India and only ate American food. I didn't want to be that silly.
I left again and stood on the corner. Across from me was a river with a lift bridge - the west road went over it. North, the road ran along it. East was a huge mountain - I took some pictures of the scene, in awe of the mountains. South was the city.
A male friend came up.. I disguised myself more with a robe and he thought I was a different woman. He started telling me how he loved me - the made-up, 'fancy' one. I played along but wondered why he loved her and not the 'real' me.
Back in the US, I'm in my 'apartment room' with a female roommate. I'm putting on fancy clothes and make-up - he wants to take me to dinner (and, we think, ask me to marry him). I want to show him I'm the same person. I dress up, then we go to another room with a bunch of people. They say brown makeup is in - it makes you look 'aware'. Like Ally McBeal? I say makeup is silly, it hides blemishes created by makeup. They all laugh and agree. I'm sad, and go to the school.
I find him in class. He speaks to the teacher and comes to me with a thorny rose. We go looking for a restaurant, most are too ? dirty? One is new and looking for staff - I think maybe he can work there during our summer in NH. I tell him we should work at a ski slope doing nature walks. He thinks Killington will close.
I wake up before the eventful "this is me too" scene, but imagine it as him asking me to marry him and me asking, "what about her?", hearing his excuses then running off and washing the makeup off, recombing my hair and returning. I can't tell, though, if I'd want him even if he said, "OK I love this too" since he was so shallow in the first place.
