Sooooooo... Dreams.

Usually, I get the same ones, but they have advanced a bit, and as I thought, I'm up in the sky alone. I lost my bothers in the sea, although it looks like they lived. Now it's just me and I'm not sure how much gas I have, so what do I do? I head my ass into a dogfight to get rid of the enemy so all the boys stuck on the beach can get away in the boats. I haven't seen the entire beach, but I'm staying out at sea. Looks like the ocean and I will meet soon.

I did find this tool set on my coffee table this morning. I have had to make some repairs on planes from time to time. It makes me wonder what I'm going to be doing. Maybe I do get to land after all, but I'm fixing something. I'd be a little happier if they were really useful, but they are from the 1940's and technology isn't quite the same. They also look like they are pretty beat up, but I'm cleaning them.

I got a lighter, a surfboard, and apparently, I joined the Navy. I didn't see the Navy thing coming, but I can say the dreams came full circle.

It's funny that it's been a long time since new things happened. I'm not surprised about some of it. It's always a murder mystery of some sort, always the ups and downs. My girlfriend doesn't trust me. We makeup and break up. If I don't do all the right things, we just don't work. I had totally forgotten about Dick though. He lives up to his name, but there are times that I wish the guy was really around. I need his sense of humor.

After all the stops and starts, and one more mystery - the girl and I end up together. I flew into the sunset and back to finish up my tour in the Navy.

Thank me for this cliff notes version.

Guess who got a new job?

Training starts today, and I could definitely use people to make drinks for. You'll have to bear with me while I am still learning where everything is and the alcohol to mixer ratios.

Oh yeah, I'm working over at Pandemonium. Kinda excited about this...after my training, I'll be working the slower evenings (Monday & Tuesday), just to make some extra cash.

Also, it goes without saying, this message is for those who are of legal drinking age.

So I'm doing better in my dreams, besides this thing with an evil king wanting to destroy us all, but personally? Much better now that I'm away from my ex.

Rhysand and the others are training me to use my new Fae abilities, including the ability to shift wings and fly.

And I've never felt so determined to do something and so at home among these people and their gorgeous city. It's like I'm finally realizing how badly I was treated in the Spring Court.

And the flight practice is really nice.

But my ex and his people still want to get me back, and Lucien, one of those friends who'd looked the other way, tried to 'save' me from my kidnapper. Instead, I showed him what staring too long into the darkness looks like, which is what he wanted to see. Nothing like the darkness I've seen, the darkness in the way his master treated me, or the darkness of an Old God who weaves human hair and skin.

Maybe they'll leave me alone now. I kind of doubt it. But ... I find the darkness suits me. The night is dark, and filled with glittering stars and the people who I was told were evil are among the most good and kind I've ever met. And they showed me Starfall, the night every year where the sky is filled with beautiful falling stars.

I've found joy in the night after so much pain in a false paradise. And... my new family. We're all broken, we've all suffered, but we found each other. I miss them.

I just visibly flinched at a Planet of the Apes 4 trailer. And not just because it looks terrible, stupid Dreams.

You busy?

I've had some more dreams, about my powers..

It seems silly, but things like this discovery are really exciting, when it comes to seeing how people actually lived in the past.

When you're studying ruined cities it's easy to forget they were once vibrant societies. And that even the grandest city could one day be abandoned to time.
