A Gay Household

I have gone to visit some girls sharing a house. They are students but they are living in the country. I have to walk across a green field to get there. I think I am carrying something, a bowl or a plate. Maybe I am taking them a dish of some kind. There are two girls in the house when I get there. One is an Asian girl, she looks a bit like my old violin teacher, or an actress who played Amy in the film ‘The Forty Year Old Virgin’. I think A. is quite new to the house. I can’t see the other girl very clearly. Someone is learning to crochet, because I see a copy of a weekly crochet magazine on the coffee table.

I am planning to go home again but they want me to stay. Amy goes up to her room, she has a bed that looks like one I used to have, that I got from IKEA, it had a steel tube frame. She comes running downstairs, she is very upset and crying, she has a made a dent in one of her chairs, it is a wooden chair (like one I saw on Cash In The Attic the other day). I think she is afraid they will have to pay for it. I tell not to worry, it’s fine and no one will notice.

I am standing outside on a lawn talking to Julie from Cambs. She has a concert to go to. She has had a lot of pieces to learn for it. She has to learn these pieces to pass her course. I go back into the house. A. and this other girl are upstairs. There is another girl there. She is tall with red hair. I think her name is Charlie. She is getting something out of the fridge to eat (the fridge is in the lounge - a bit like one of the student houses I lived in). There is also a bed in this room. This woman is very friendly.

I am lying on the bed and she comes back into the room and sits on top of me. She kisses me and tells me not to worry I don’t have to do anything. I don’t like it though, she’ come on too strong. I ask her if she has girlfriend, she says no but I’m not sure I believe her. Someone else comes home and the red head gets off me. I like this other girl, she is quieter, not so tall, she has dark hair. We go and lie on her bed upstairs.

The girl with red hair is vacuuming on the landing, I’m afraid she is going to come in, so I get up and close the door. I’m a bit worried what she will think about me being in this girls room but she doesn’t seem to mind. I realise I haven’t shaved my legs and she notices.

After a bit we go downstairs, everybody is in the lounge. The red haired girl looks older now, her grey roots are showing. Her trousers ride up as she sits down and I see she doesn’t shave her legs either. Everybody leaves the room and it is just me and the dark haired girl. She is talking about the red haired girl and another girl. While she is talking I realise that I used to go to school with both of these girls she is talking about. One was Sarah H. and a friend of hers, but I cna't remember her name. She says people tried to ‘cure’ them. I get angry and say, ‘Cure them of what!’, she looks surprised at my reaction. I laugh and say ‘I know, I don’t look very militant’.

Red Tape

I am an au pair for a little boy. He looks like my nephew A. I am trying to teach him something. We are standing in a country lane for some reason. I pick up brick and pretend to listen to it, I play with it turning it over in my hand looking at it closely. I give it to A. to copy. I notice he has a lot of saliva around his mouth. It’s as if I am teaching him to be autistic or teaching him as if he were autistic.

There is a desk, there are lots of women behind it. (It’s a bit like the desk at University were we used to have to hand in our work). I want an update but they have lost my form and consequently haven’t done anything. I have to fill in another form. I still have A. with me. His parents have already filled in an application form. I think it is something to do with a property. It sounds strange but they have put forward three prices, maybe they are in a bidding war. The first amount is £90k something in black, the next price is £126k in red, the next price is £70k something in black. I think it is a property they want to buy, now they’re not sure if they can afford it.
