I had hoped dying in my dreams meant that I was done.

Instead I took a test to become a shinigami. The fact that I took a test after I died was weird enough, but I overheard people talking. I thought my death was from illness, but it was actually murder.

Once I passed, they told me they were partnering me up with their top person in the field.

They lied.

I've got that itch to get another tattoo, but I never know if I should or not. I'm thinking of getting something from my dreams, but it's hard to describe, and I'm not much of an artist.

Ever have one of those weeks that makes you wonder why you don't drink? Sometimes I wonder why we live here.

whelp. last night i dreamed i said "ta da!" and then wiped out half of all creation.

It is an interesting time to both be learning Arabic and waist-deep within International Law. FYI: California has the largest Syrian population in the nation, and the OC itself should expect hundreds of Syrian refugees escaping the crisis in Europe, according to the Syrian American Council. The United States in general projected about 70,000 coming in as refugees. It'll give me a chance to take on some mediation work (in refugee cases it's mostly rent disputes). Arbitration is just something done on the side, but it'll help keep my electricity on which is pleasant.

As for the bar exam itself, power outages, blood, women going into labor, breakdowns rivaling Exorcist pea-soup spewing, and natural disasters seem to top the list of horrors. My only horror was my laptop freezing toward the end of the third day wherein I think my hair turned white (again). Never wanted to puke or scream to such a degree before.

But, life goes on and so do the dreams. Will I ever escape this castle? (No, the answer is no).

I'm ready for classes to start back up again. Perhaps teaching will give me the inspiration I need to get back into writing.

Because I feel like I haven't flaunted myself enough, I thought I would share the "teaser" for my upcoming shoot.

Compliments are always welcome. ;)
