I woke up in the middle of the night to the noise from Skype call, even though my computer was in a different room. (real life!)
I was at this sports complex because it was my birthday and my party was a "sports and games" type of party. I hadn't dressed appropriately though - I was in jeans, a t-shirt from the Gap, and a light sweater. I showed up at 11:38 a.m. even though the party had started at 11. I had been spending the morning getting dressed and looking pretty because my friend, Mark Wahlberg, was going to be there and I hadn't seen him in a long time. I also had been checking my Facebook wall for all the birthday messages I was getting pinged with; Mark was one of the first to write on my wall, and I responded to his post mostly so that people would know that I was tight with Mark Wahlberg.
So I immediately went to the balcony that overlooked the floor where the dodgeball game was being played. Most people were wearing the San Antonio Sport & Social Club T-shirts that we got from playing in the SSC softball league (real life). There was a red team playing against the orange team* but I just watched from the balcony. There were people at my party from all different areas of my life - high school, college, California, Texas. There was another friend of mine up there watching, waiting for his turn to play, and he offered to let me borrow his shorts and T-shirt so that I could play and wouldn't have to drive 20 minutes to get home to grab my change of clothes. I politely declined saying that I would get really sweaty and then he wouldn't be able to play. Then, another friend of mine came to the balcony with a large T-shirt and pair of shorts that she'd found somewhere in the sports complex. I was going to change and for some reason decided to do so right on the balcony. I was completely topless when Mark Wahlberg showed up on the balcony. I quickly covered myself with my arms/hands but he obviously knew that I was topless. He was a gentleman, and closed his eyes until I was dressed.
Suddenly, the dodgeball game had ended and I was in the room where we were going to eat. My extended family was there - uncles, aunts, cousins - in addition to my immediate family. Everyone wished me a happy birthday individually.
*I'd worn my orange SSC T-shirt to the gym yesterday so that's probably why this appeared in the dream.
