For the first time in quite some time, I actually had a memorable dream. I can already hear the "so what?"s in the back, but for me this is something interesting.
Whilst I'm fairly sure that I have dreams, this is the first one that I remember after being awake for most of the day. Also before anyone asks, no I haven't been taking any mind-altering chemicals or non-prescription drugs unless you count Insulin.
I could theorise as to what the cause of my dreams from now till the end of my life and probably be no closer. So instead of dealing with why I had the dream, I'll write about what actually happened.
It concerned a woman. Nothing unusual there you might think, I'm a man and it is virtually expected. What if I said the woman was a fictional character from a well-known television series. Questioning my sanity yet?
If you're still unsure, I will explain a little further. The character in question is Abby Scuito (played by Pauley Perrette) from the series "N.C.I.S". Again nothing wrong with that. Very well, last and most vital point. Abby is a goth.
This raises an obvious question and the whole point of this little diatribe; do I like goths or merely the idea of goths in particular? Perrette is, to me at least, an attractive woman whether a goth or not. However, this raises another interesting question.
Do clothes define the woman or are they merely an assumed character? I'm delving into the realms of philosophy here and pretty far in over my head. I have absolutely no idea as to how an actress such as Perrette behaves out of costume.
To make assumptions on someones character with no references other than their appearance could lead to large misunderstandings to say the least. In your experience have you found this to be true? Do the nice, innocent-looking ones turn out to be evil as sin?
till next time,
Alex.
