I'm gonna attempt to tell a story about a dream I had last night. Woke up at 4 in the morning and had to write it down:
So I had a dream that I'm in this high school near North Dakota beside some glaciers and natural springs. I'm like this jockish type kid but I don't play sports and I'm really close friends with this frail small kid.
Don't know his name. All I know is the name of his year long project that we all had to do is called "Lobster in a Bowl Needs a Can TOO".

But all throughout the school year Lobster in a Bowl undermines me every chance he gets. Snitches on me.
Always knick picking about my stuff. The big thing he complains about is the color of my jackets I wear to school and the emblems on them. They were some mundane patches, but he won't let it go.
So apart of our year long project we have to go to some mechanics in the North Dakota boonies. I'm being driven to it by my dad and we notice a large spring we've never seen before. We get out and notice it's being fed by a melting glacier. It's like spring or something.
My dad and I play in the spring for a bit before going on to the mechanics.

So we get to the mechanic and dad's asking why can't you wear that jacket to school. I'm like Idk that's what they're saying. Then dad ask the mechanic how come I can't wear the jacket.
The mechanic looks confused and says he can wear the jacket. Apparently the mechanics is apart of the school, or just alumni, Idk.
Ok, so we all finish up the year long project and we're all in school. My "best friend" Lobster in a Bowl sees my jacket that supposedly is not permitted in school and goes bonkers. "You can't wear that jacket! It's against school code!"
Then proceeds to try to rip the patches off of my jacket. I easily man handle him and put him into an atomic wedgie. Now he's crying, balling his eyes out.

Lobster in a Bowl: "I thought we were friends! How could you do this?!"
Me: "Yea man, I thought we WERE FRIENDS! What's been your deal man?!

(Y'all deal with me, I grew up in the late 90's. Growing pains and Mad About You was my ish)

Lobster in a bowl: "I wanted to make sure you really liked me." *keeps crying*

Me: "Well now you have your answer."
Now the bell rings and school is let out and for some reason, he's paralysed after the atomic wedgie. He then proceed to start begging kids walking by for spare change and for help getting on the bus.
The next day, I'm at school and the whole graduating class is on this balcony looking down on the year long projects. (It's like 20 of us. This is North Dakota remember)
And the project is basically a large sign with our names plus a lil pamphlet with some Harry Potter-esse emblems and back stories. And next to my project is Lobster in a Bowl Needs a Can TOO.
It's in a really nice bold graphic like you'd see for a fancy restaurant in a upscale mall. Real bold and pronounced. Feeling all sad now cause of what I've done, I start reminiscing about the good times he wasn't being a dick.
He was actually a good friend when he wasn't being a jackwad thinking I was being friendly to him for some undermining reason. But I realize we never could be friends again cause of how everything ended.
I walk away from the group with my head held low sad, but ready to take on my future. End scene.

And I know this was a crazy dream cause when I woke up, it took me a few to realize where I was. Now it's 4:30 am and I'm curled up under my wife cause my dream made me sad.
Such is life I guess.

And a reminder I was completely sober for all this.
