Among other things, we're going to be getting some new stationary bikes at the gym I work at and I'm unreasonably excited about this. New equipment always gets me excited, though. We must be doing pretty well financially. I guess we have to update some things, though, to keep up with all of the other gyms in the OC. If there's one thing Orange County isn't short on it's gyms.

Hello!

No, that’s too formal.

Hi, guys!

Wow, that’s rude. Not everyone is a guy.

Hey, peeps!

Does anyone say peeps anymore? Okay, Urban Dictionary is telling me they don’t.

I’m Merrill! Good start. This is so exciting. Has anyone else felt like they didn’t fit in before they started having their dreams? I know we couldn’t have known, not really, but this explains so much. I’m not even human! Well, I mean, I am I think?, but I’m not in my dreams. There were so many of us—elves, that is. It was an important gathering of some kind, and it was all very exciting. I set something on fire, too! With my hands! Does anyone keep a diary to record everything they remember? I should really find those scented highlighters.

Oh! We share something about ourselves here, right? I’m a Cryptozoologist. You should visit me at my office! It’s cramped, really, and a mess right now, but I like visitors. If you let me know you’re coming, I could bake something, too. One of my roommates is a chemist, and our kitchen is probably contaminated. You know what! I’ll just buy cookies for us. Would that be all right? Does anyone have any food allergies? This is too long. You’re rambling now, Merrill.

I’ll just be on Tumblr if you need me.

Is anyone else as excited about Corned Beef and Cabbage as I am?? (Is this the pregnancy cravings talking??)

My roommate is moving out, so I'm losing my vicarious pup. I've heard good things about the local SPCA ... is there anywhere or anything I should know before looking for a new dog to adopt? My mother says I'm crazy to want to adopt a new dog when I'm still caring for an infant. But I think now is the best time to find a dog to add to our family. Not a puppy, that's too much work... hopefully I can find a nice, calm, adult dog to bring into my home.

So, I should stop saying out loud that it's been a while since I've had a dream, shouldn't I? I finally had another one, definitely left me in a bad mood, which means... distractions! Anyone want to go to the movies?

My dreams have turned into nightmares. It started with my father saying strange things that didn't make sense to me. Then he started doing terrible things and making me do terrible things.

I wake up feeling like I'm a monster he's a monster and hating myself him.

Can dreams turn people into monsters?
