So I don't know if it's the dreams or cause I've been practicing alot, but I've been getting really good with the bow and arrow. I set up targets in the backyard and I've been practicing every night. I've barely missed a bullseye in the last week. It's pretty awesome.

Speaking of the dreams though, turns out Jade and I have Lian in them too, but I didn't know about it for a year. Of course, when I found out, Jade poisoned me, but Dick ended up saving me and he brought Lian to me and I became a single father from that point on. I became a private investigator in LA for awhile after that then rejoined the CBI then the Titans were hunted and I rejoined and became the leader. After that I traded in my title as Speedy and became Arsenal. Traded in the bow and arrow for guns at that point too. Apparently I can use pretty much any weapon at that point. It's pretty cool actually.

Hokay, so someone gave me the word that this was better than craigslist although not by much. Hi. I'm Astrid. I work at a vet, where we're trying to find the owners of this lost little beauty.



We've had her for a couple of weeks and no one's claimed her, except for a few bullshit animal hoarders. If no one does by today, we'll have to put her up in a shelter. I'd rather not have that happen.

I'd take her, but the apartment has a pretty lame no-pet policy.

Being around a cat has made me miss owning one. Carol, there's a good chance I might be keeping Chewie. You can kick my ass out of orbit all you want. I'll still come back.

JUST KIDDING.

What's a good area to live? I'm looking for a more permanent shindig. Santa Ana is fun and all, but I'm pretty sure my landlord is now out to kill me after what happened to the old place. I'm not threatened by him in the slightest, but it'll get annoying and old fast.

I could be doing work, but instead I am watching this movie about a roller skate dancing competition.

It is not half bad.

And really, I am doing work. Honest.

Sometimes I wonder if I took the right path. I hand patients off to doctors and nurses every day, and most of the time I have no idea what happens to them after that. Do they recover? Are they still in the hospital?

If I had chosen to become a doctor, I could continue to help the people that I see every day. It's so easy to get attached, even though I know some of these people for no longer than a few minutes.

But then I remember that paramedics save lives every day, and that heartens me. To know that I'm the first face they see, that I can provide some comfort to them. And to the people that are often with them, too. I remember that, and I think... I made the right choice, after all. I just wish I could do more.

It looks like I have a job.

Alexander and I have had a very good time this past week, traveling. I have to say that traveling is much easier when you can make a portal and hop from one place to another. Much cheaper and no baggage fees. So far, we went to New York to visit Alexander's parents and then Canada to visit my own. After that we had a do over of Vegas since our trip was cut short last year because of the attack and now we're in Hawaii. Should be back sometime this week.

I don't like this. I can understand why my dream self wanted to help our mother to end this. I need to go back to work, but I'm worried that I'll lose control.
