I'm dropping my friend off, as if after carpooling for an outing. He is rather normal and nondescript. We decide, for some reason, that I should mow his lawn real quick, since I have a push-mower with me in the car.
We get out with the mower, and navigate his house, which is complex and mazelike. One room is full of grass, like a carpet, and I'm impressed at how they are able to grow the grass in here. The room is half open, with skylights, half a lawn and half a living room.
The mower has two large wheels on the sides, which fold together like a wheelchair, and I have to unfold it to mow. It's an awkward task, and at first the wheels want to go back together into folded position, but I find a latch in between that holds them extended.
I start mowing the room, part of which is mowing over this grassy lump that is also a couch, and as I'm mowing I notice that somebody is sleeping on it. Fortunately my mower is quiet, and I don't wake them.
Then I go through to another part of the house, where there are a few people gathered. One is my friend's girlfriend, a somewhat wild-looking girl who resembles Joan Jett. We introduce, and I comment that we've met before, but she was sleeping. Seems her schedule and her boyfriends' are always opposite, and another time, I think they came over to my house to work on some music, but she immediately fell asleep on the couch. She says oh yeah, she remembers me, and plants a full kiss on my mouth.
There is also a picnic table there, with food on it to snack on. Another girl hands me a couple of food items to eat, one of them a large piece of bread with an orange cream-cheese-based spread on it. I can smell the peppers in it from a distance, and I comment to her - gee, this smells like it's going to be pretty hot.
