This Woman Stole Sean Burke

So last night, maybe it was early this morning--please don't ask me to be specific--I dreamed that this woman here went and stole Sean Burke from me. Except we all were in some sort of late '90s teen movie, you know, like "Can't Hardly Wait" (except I never saw that movie), or "10 Things I Hate About You" (which I have seen, and love), or "She's All That" (which I've also seen, and it was OK). More like the latter because Lil' Kim made a cameo in my dream. ANYWAY, Angelina was some sort of vampiresque, neon-green-bob-wig-wearing mean girl. She managed to systematically destroy my inner circle, turning them against me--including Gus and Simon! I had to relinquish my house and car keys to Angelina as the whole group watched me walk away, humiliated. Just as I was about to leave the front door, a young woman (I think this is where Lil' Kim comes in) said, "She beat you, but she didn't win." I turned to look at Sean--who happened to look a bit like Brad Pitt--and smiled. I woke up and thought, "THAT is going to be my mantra: 'You may have been beaten, but that doesn't mean you didn't win."
