I am in a very very long line, inside a gymnasium. I am meeting some friends, like Rob and Wes, who want to go on this immense cruise/outing/sports adventure or something. I'm not sure what it is. I meet them though, and my spirits, which start quite low, get very high, very quickly. There is a teacher or organizer on a loudspeaker, and he's barking orders. He or she says something that sounds like another thing, so I shout out that other thing as a joke, which everyone finds very funny. The whole auditorium erupts in laughter. It's a Bart Simpson moment. I get in trouble. A very strict dean/principle appears and takes me out of line, forbidding me from participating in the event.
The hall empties out and I'm sitting at a folding table with the other rejects. It's like detention but not. I'm still in a good mood. I am entertaining everyone. Ben Stiller shows up, as do three other celebrities. Todd Philips is one of them, and I ask him about his career because I'm inspired by it and want to follow in his footsteps or something. I get his business card. I get Ben Stiller's too. They're sitting there, laughing with me. Some other big shots show up and it's a great day.
I feel really good, despite missing the big event. Everything works out.
