House-Sitting, Jealous Influencer Dating Show, and Fence Crashes
The dream started off and a friend of my family member’s ex-husband was house-sitting the house of a person I like A LOT’s home that his sister was living in. So this person I like A LOT bought the house, and his sister was living in it, but my family member’s ex-husband’s friend was house-sitting it. And so I was going over to the house sometimes for some reason to check on it and I was like, NO WAY!! That guy owns this house!!??? And he’s like, yeah, but he’s not been by here once. The sister has been by time to time.
But I’ve still never met this person I like a lot, and so I was like, dangggg I wish I’d met them here at their house. Are there any pics of them or anything? Are you sure they own this house. But there were no pics. But he’d sorta been by once, apparently.
Then my family member’s ex’s friend had pictures of me from when I was a kid. Cause he knew me as a kid, too. They were pics he’d been holding onto for a long time and was happy to finally have a chance to give them back to me. They’re like, mostly “Photo Booth” style pictures with like 3 pictures on a vertical picture sheet, but some are normal pictures and they’re extremely old and worn out and faded since they’re over 20 years old.
Later, I showed my family member who used to be married to the house-sitter’s friend, I showed her these pictures and she was literally freaking out over them. So sentimental and crying so much, being so emotional about them. And then she’s freaking out, too, cause I have a luxury designer box that was like orangey yellow (I guess, I didn’t know) but the box he’d given me to hold them in was like an extremely luxury brand. So she was like freaking out over that, too… wondering what he’d given me and jealous of the brand name. So I was like, “ew! Calm down ewww!!” And I like hid from her cause and locked myself in the room nearby. Cause she was jsut being so weird about it. It was making me so uncomfortable how she was like kinda feeling nostalgia and regret for her ex and “what could have been” but they weren’t even that happy together when they were together and she was jsut crying to me. So I left her vicinity.
Then, next, another family member of mine was dating a girl who was a YouTuber and he was a bit insecure about their relationship. But he was telling me about her and how they’re doing and he said that she was going to be interviewing a guy today. Then the livestream comes up and they sit on two stools and they’re in the house that is being housesit, sitting in the living room. But this house is a mega mansion, so the living room is pretty big and then the girlfriend and the guy she’s interviewing go sit on stools. She has brown hair and he has shoulder length blondehair and like a handsome surfer vibe and then he’s talking about dating and I tell my family member, yeah, he’s a dating YouTuber/influencer. And then different people go and are all there, liek standing got the stage, a group of liek 10 people, and one by one a person stands up and then the other people step forward if they think that person is cute and they rate how cute they are one through five and then the person being judged picks who they want to go out with. We’re watching this on an iPad but then suddenly we are at the house and my family member is jealous of this handsome dating influencer’s “look” and confidence, so we are suddenly at the house/living room, watching from inside the house from a bit of a distance of where they’re sitting. The YouTube/influencer girlfriend sees us (her boyfriend, my family member) especially and gets a bit annoyed cause she’s in the middle of work and can tell he’s there out of jealousy but they keep going. And then they finish up the dating show and episode. One standout moment was when one person was being voted on and they’re like getting all their ratings and they say, “does anyone think I’m a ‘1’ out of ‘5’?” And then one person raises their hand, so then the person chooses THAT person (who gave them the low rating) and everyone cracks up.
Then after the show is over, everyone is reflecting and my family member (the boyfriend of this girl) just like introduces himself and tries to be cool about it all, though he’s extremely insecure and jealous and then we all stay there a while, eating a meal or something, but I get up to go somewhere and get my things and I yell out a diss about my family member, calling him out for being insecure, in a bit of a metaphor/analogy about how he should give his girlfriend space and how he’s stooping to a new low.
Then I walked out of the room to go get my stuff and came back and said bye to everyone and then the dating influencer came up to me and said that he liked my analogy/metaphor so much. And it made me realize he didnt even like the girlfriend influencer in that way, you know? So my family member was being insecure over nothing. Like, this guy wasn’t even interested in his girlfriend, yet he was so insecure that he’d ruined it there and then with her once and for all. All while this influencer is coming up to me saying that he felt that metaphor was really meaningful and impactful. He’s the kinda guy who is like, so tuned into “breathing” and nature and like crazily easygoing. So I just was like, okay, cool. Yeah, see ya. Then I left.
Next, I was hanging out at this house and I was asked to car-sit for a guy while he’d be out of town. This is a guy that I play guitar with in a big group once a week, but he’s EXTREMELY good at guitar. He’s a big younger than me and has super long hair, but when you hear him play and sing, you’re like, “wow, I love him” hahaha. Like he’s just so talented, though he drinks peer - and I can never fully love someone who drinks alcohol, as an alcoholic myself. Even so, I have huge respect for him. So he asked me to watch his car while he was going out of town and I’m like, sure. So he lives with a lot of roommates and they all park their cars in certain ways upstairs. By the garage, so he was going to show me how they park their cars, but also took me outside, into the backyard first to also give me a talk on our plan for while he was gone. He had a dry erase board he was standing by and I was sitting in a chair with a desk on the grass and kinda laughing to myself cause he was taking this seriously AND clearly doesn’t like being bothered much by technology. Cause one of his points on the dry erase board was about how to not be sending too many emails to each other with questions. Just like he wanted to make sure he wasn’t bothering me with too many and me the same. But I just thought ot myself about how actually, I like getting emails from my friends, so I wouldn’t mind if he sent a lot - but then again, maybe he is right, I probably would get annoyed by a lot of emails.
Then, next thing I know I tell him how I don’t like cars much, it’s why I don’t have one but I’ll watch his and he’s like, yeah. I don’t like cars either. And I’m like, no way, you have one. And he’s like, yeah, but I don’t like it.
And then he gets into his car and to prove how much he doesn’t like it, he starts driving straight over the grass, parallel to the back door of the house and then through the wooden panel fence, boom through that fence, boom through the next, the next, the next, the next! He drives through like 5 or 6 of his neighbors’ fences, puts a hole in them all, then turns his car around and brings it back.
And I’m like omg, I can’t believe you just did that. And he’s like, “yeah, it may be a bit expensive to fix, and my car may be a bit more ruined (it was a mini Cooper) but now you can see I really don’t like cars.” And then he tells me he’s got to go but now part of my carsititng is going and talking to the neighbors about how to fix it all.
So I go start talking to each neighbor and the first one, his neighbor is a super famous political activist who was recently killed and he’s got a friend over who is another famous political figure. And they are like, laughing a bit, sitting on lawn chairs, a bit angled away from me so each time he makes a snarky/funny comment, he turns his head a bit dramatically towards me. And he’s laughing cause this sorta behavior has happened both times this guy was married. Teh guy with long hair. And so they talk about how he acts like this when he’s married, but to a girl they don’t like much. And they laugh it off and say it’s fine. Then the next neighbor is okay with it, mostly. The one after that is TOTALLY not okay with it, cause THEIR neighbor, when she looked through the hole, she saw her neighbor had a gun (which she didn’t know before there was a hole there). Then I go to see, and yeah, that person has a gun.
