Network

Just threw together a song to sing for the kids tomorrow, but I hate to admit it when I say... it's the first time I don't feel like going. But there's a commitment to follow.

Remember when you were young and you thought you'd never have to work on your birthday? I'm still working and it's two in the morning on my birthday.

Time to take a nap in my office, I guess. No point in going home, I have a meeting at eight and I want to check on a patient at five when they take their next round of meds. Maybe I'll get a cupcake later.

I'm joining you in dream land, my friends! Last night I had the most marvelous dream, and all of our little group was in it (aside from Cosette, I'm so sorry!). We were discussing politics quite passionately, and melting down silver and sewing flags and little red white and blue things to wear on our hats and vests and it was all very lovely. Very moving.

And it reminded me that not too long ago, I found this red material in my closet while I was looking for my sewing things. It was three pieces of red fabric, half stitched together, so I thought perhaps I'd used it to practice making my handstitching neater? But now I think it's a sign!

I was originally going to use it to make a vest, but after Enjolras's post, I don't think it's meant for that. I think it's meant for us.

I thought, since some of us are a little hesitant about tattoos, I could get some similarly coloured red elastic fabric and make bracelets for us! We could wear them to events and protests and things, or just around to show camaraderie.

As to the red fabric, I'm going to finish sewing it together and hang it on my wall, I think. It seems to precious to do anything else with.

Oh good, I was wondering if there was an Internet forum for the area. I really like these things, it's so nice to be able to talk to all kinds of people at once!

I'm Ty Lee, and I'm new in town. I've been having a lot of fun here so far, everyone's been so nice!

I can't understand the nerve of some people. Really. Heard a man today berating his daughter for wanting to visit Ireland, because apparently it's full of awful people. Well, that's the nice way of repeating what he said. Needless to say, he'd never been there himself, and I doubt he's ever had the pleasure of meeting an Irishman. Gave him a good "top o' the mornin'" as I walked by him (it was worth it).

Honestly, though. It's too bad that people take a bad moment in history and assume it's a constant.

In other news on the Irish front, my brother sent me this today. Got a good chuckle out of me, at any rate.

Now that the Oscar buzz is over and the studio has come back from being a giant opium den it's time to get back to work! I've got a weekend shoot, but that's not really the good news! The network just did a press release so I can finally spill the beans!

Guess who is getting her own spin off show?!

THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE.

This place has me conditioned to think that when things are quiet it means something horrible is about to happen. Doesn't help that Dex seems on edge.

[TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR MENTIONS OF CHARACTER DEATH]

I signed the paperwork today. Absolute Truth Ministries is officially under my name. I never imagined my father thought much of me. He certainly had a funny way of showing it. It's too bad that it took his death for me to realize just how much he loved and respected me. I wish we could have found a better way of communicating that to each other before it was too late.

Man, it's been forever since I've written in here. I guess I just kind of forgot about it. Things have been really boring around here lately though. Haymitch's pool isn't heated so I haven't been able to practice there, but luckily the pool we train in is indoors so I haven't been completely slacking. At least Spring is coming though. The weather is going to start getting warmer and we'll be able to plant new crops in a couple weeks. Then I'll be really busy. Guess I should enjoy the down time while I have it.

Today is my last day living in this apartment. Moving into a bigger place I just closed escrow on a couple weeks ago. I haven't had time to pack everything and get moved until today, but it's actually happening. It's got a huge back yard so I've been thinking about getting a dog or something. I'm torn though. I have really crazy hours sometimes and I'd hate for him (yes, it will be a boy dog if I have anything to say about it) to be stuck in some doggy daycare all the time. What do you guys thinks?

A little over a month to finish the preparations for the wedding. I can do this. I'm Pepper Potts, multitasker extraordinaire.

Because I don't have enough things on my plate I'd like to take this opportunity to announce a charity event Stark Industries will be throwing on March 15th. The event will take place at Stark Industries where local artists will be displaying their own personal works to be auctioned off at a live auction. All of the proceeds will go to the Children's Hospital of Orange County. There will be an official press release with all pertinent information on Saturday, but I thought I would give everyone here on the network a head's up since I know a lot of you get paid on Fridays.

If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to ask.

Sod everything. Except you, Atton.

Anyone a good lawyer? Harvey? I fucking need one of you.

So... I just dreamt that this dude told me to live on the streets. I was just a little tike. How is living on the streets better.

Oh, and I woke up with a blood spotted medal on my chest. And the engraving is in French. What the hell?

Okay. So, the big mushrooms and all that are gone. But now I'm dreaming about becoming a nun, and running an insane asylum? Full on, black floor length habit, sniping at underlings, and freaking caning patients? In one dream I had a young man who'd done something, and he bent over my desk, trousers down, and Mother Superior here was whipping the hell out of him. I'm ... kind of creeped out, honestly.

Oliver, I can hear you laughing now.

I know this seems silly, but if anyone is working perhaps they could um.. come keep me company down in the morgue? My radio isn't working and it's awfully quiet.

I have cake! For anyone who wants to come down and have some. You don't have to stay and keep me company, you can just come down for cake if you want.

So, I may have totally had the best dreams ever last night. It was a blast!

I dreamt I had a sister, and we did a jazz act in the '20s in Chicago. I was a vaudeville star, and I had a husband who did all our bookings and stuff.

The only thing is, I'd like to think I could do better than a dumpy balding guy who thought Toronto was in England somewhere.
