Remember the little notes you thought about leaving in the libaray books at humboldt[Humboldt State University Library]
garrett (9:22 PM) :
yeah? i did that a couple of times…
lulugirl (9:22 PM) :
Well i had a dream about that the other night
garrett (9:22 PM) :
what about it?
lulugirl (9:22 PM) :
This girl fell in love with them and you. And then she did this genelogy search …..and you had been dead for hundreds of years.

Interesting… That would be cool to do that again in the library, with clues for where more of the poems were hidden.
lulugirl (9:25 PM) :
She was so crazy about the poems she tried to find ancestors to find out who you were and what you really were like.
garrett (9:26 PM) :
Wierd. That’s like the goners[see also: Boont Dusties, "The Dinosaurs", etc...] dream come true, you realize.
lulugirl (9:26 PM) :
The twist of this dream is when she finds your ancestors she knows more about you then they did and she tells your great great great great grand daughter about you
garrett(9:27 PM) :
That’s like my own personal love – finding things from people who are long gone, and just loving them so much and wondering what that person was like. Jake showed me an old photograph of a girl, his favorite one and said “my long lost girlfriend.” Old black and white. He had a whole collection of them.
Man, that would sure make a great novel or story or movie or something!
Tim’s right, that’s a great story for any medium. It has a classic, timeless appeal. I used to hide postcards with my art printed on them in unusual places, restrooms, between food items at the grocery store, restaurant menus, etc. There was contact info on them, and I though someone would eventually drop me a line saying something like “hey I found a postcard of yours with the Captain Crunch”, but no one has to date.
Yeah, it is a great story…but unfortunately, it is also the basis of the movie Titanic.
