Network

I have no idea what THIS is really, but I totally signed up for it. I made a team called Valar if anyone else wants to join me.

I've also never been to a baseball stadium before, so this could be cool (even though they're not playing)!

My sister Marguerite has said this is a good place to meet people, and I suppose I need new friends since most of mine are...not here. My name is Armand St. Just and I've just moved back to California a week or so ago. I'll be a student at UCLA studying philosophy, and I've been at Harvard the last three years, so it will be interesting. I'm still trying to get moved into my new apartment, but I figured I would see what the people in the area are like. So...hi.

Bella and Nessie surprised me with some cute arts and crafts Fathers Day gift and breakfast in bed.

We then went to my Dad's house for lunch and went to my Father-in-law's for dinner. I'm pretty sure I still see his hands creep towards his cop gun whenever I enter the room.

Now Nessie is in bed and Bella and I are cuddled up by the fireplace. Life is pretty sweet.

So my kitchen is a complete mess and will probably take a lot of cleaning but I do have boyfriend made cupcakes to show for it so I can't be mad at him.

I just got Nessie up from her nap and she clung to me sing songing the words "love papa love love" over and over again. Today is definitely a good day. And now, we are going to go snuggle up with mommy and re-watch Frozen for the 15th time.

Bella, what do you think of taking her on her first trip to Disneyland tomorrow?

What the hell's in the water here, that I had dreams so real I thought I was there?

14 hour days in the garage are making me a little crazy. Anyone want to bring a girl something to eat? I just don't have time to leave. I'm on here instead of doing paperwork, but if I leave the building I probably will just go hide in a corner until all this work is caught up.

I definitely don't like being a mommy in the snow. Trying to figure out if Christina is warm enough freaked me out. I'd much rather be a typical Southern California Mommy and enjoy the sunshine and mild-ish weather that normally comes from living here.

Well the shop is booked for the next three weeks - thanks snow you've turned already poor drivers into horrible ones. Fender benders, thrown out alignments and more fun to repair. I can't argue, except I think I need to hire another mechanic. I cannot handle this load all by myself.

Anyone need a job? I've got four in the door already and got a few being dropped off shortly. I guess I'll be working late.

And while I love snow, I do not miss it.

Did ah ever tell anyone ah hate snow? It's cold and wet and damp and not warm. Although ah've got enough clothing for this. But ah'm not entirely sure my current residence is snow-proof. Ah well welcome to the OC if yer new here, this is just every day normal fuckery. Ah almost think it's time for a trip to Louisiana. Jus' kiddin'.

Incredibly glad I wasn't hit by this...insanity. I would hate to have had breasts. Just all sorts of awkward and wrong. Plus, poor Nessie would have been confused.

Nessie, Bella and I are enjoying a quite night in watching Frozen. I do believe Nessie is quite taken with Olaf.

How is it almost June? Time flies by so fast.

Things are so much better now that I'm not having dreams anymore. It does so much for my sanity.

In any case, next month my first clothing line will be coming out at select department stores [link to them]

I'm really excited and a bit nervous. I don't want it to bomb.

OH DEAR GOD.

So I'm walking home from my last class, when I hear the barfy noise. You know, that weird gulpy-gaspy-gulpy noise that people when they're gonna barf make? Apparently this idiot was drinking in the middle of a freakin' Tuesday, and was walking right toward me.

Thank god I have good reflexes, I managed to jump out of the way and maybe shove this other guy in front of me. I should probably feel like an ass for getting some other guy barfed on, but life's too short to regret not being vomited on.

College. Can I be done now?

I have no idea why Enjolras thought it would be a good idea to sign me up without asking to volunteer at some bookstore. There's really only one appropriate reaction, though.

( cut for gif )

I want to earn some money on the side of police work, but I really don't have any other skills that can be turned into party tricks for that sort of thing I don't think? Unless anyone wants a sparring partner or running partner or something? There was a guy before looking for a sword fighting partner. I think I can help out there? I lost track of the message-sorry. Accepting most ideas for this?

I’m thinking that my dream life is pretty boring. It’s either that or these dreams have decided to give me a break. I keep dreaming about my childhood. Normal, boring, a little sad but it’s like anyone else going up.

Although it’s nice to know somethings don’t change.

This heatwave can stop or I just might be the one passing out from heat exhaustion at the hospital. Wouldn't exactly look very professional of me.

I seem to be on track for next year. I’m not sure how I managed it. I was pretty sure that I would have to repeat my Wednesday morning class. Despite it all I’m still not a morning person.

( Edward )
I don’t think I’m going to be taking summer classes.

I was sad to hear about Bob Hoskins this morning. Who Framed Roger Rabbit has always been one of my favorite movies. It was one of the movies I used to watch over and over again when I was younger. Even now, I could put it on and know almost all the lines. In fact, I think I may watch it this weekend.

ugh I have the worst summer's cold.
and my period.

please kill me. or send cake and cough drops.

Today in 1889, the Eiffel Tower opened in Paris, France at the Paris World's Fair. Built in commemoration of the French Revolution, the chocolate brown 984-foot wrought iron lattice tower was the world's tallest building at the time.

After it opened, it made enough money in ticket sales to almost completely cover the cost of building it in a single year.

So, I'm back on the job now, which means I can't really talk much about what I do every day cause in a few months it'll be on TV and there's that whole clause in my contract so that I don't spoil it. I mean, how do I know that none of you work for the network and are here to make sure I don't screw up? But this also means that I'll probably be easier to spot when I'm out cause I'll be the guy with a camera crew following me around. I'll probably be out with some of the others in the house too.

Oh who are we kidding, I'll probably still be talking about everything that happens anyway.

Puppy training is hard. Especially when the puppy flops on you when you're trying to sleep and just stares at you. I think the puppy is plotting my ultimate demise because I didn't give him extra treats tonight.

I can't wait until finals are done and it's SPRING BREAK. But for now, it's back to the college grind.

I don't know about being pregnant, but trying? That's fun. I highly recommend it.

I am very rarely impulsive, but today I had the desire to be just that, impulsive.

Bella, bring Nessie home as soon as you can. I have a surprise for the both of you.

( Cut not Filtered. Look at the cute. )

This whole Malaysian plane thing baffles me. I'm extremely curious as to what happened and how they still don't know much about what happened.

On a lighter note, The Pie Hole in Huntington Beach will be having it's grand opening this Friday, March 14th. Yes, Pi Day. I'm looking forward to see everyone.

So uh, my car finally decided to stop working right. I think running over an Orc from that whole...whatever that was Volcano/Middle Earth invasion thing did my poor baby in. Couldn't exactly tell the insurance company I ran over a mythical creature so I tried saying it was a deer. Without pics and paperwork and stuff it was a no-go.

So...are there any good mechanics, body shop people on here? Cuz my poor hummer needs some TLC.

Nessie's new favorite word is "no." She uses it for everything we ask her now. I don't think she knows the meaning of the word yet. It makes for some hilarious situations.

Me: Nessie, are you going to make something of yourself when you grow up?
Nessie: No!

or

Bella: Nessie, are you going to date when you're 16?
Nessie: No!

and my personal favorite

Bella: Nessie, do you like it when Aunt Alice takes you shopping?
Nessie: NO!

Ooops, I think I forgot about this place for a day or two there.

I've been practicing with my qi. Apparently, it really does work and that's how in my dreams I can shoot energy from my hand. I'm really good at it in my dreams, but here I can barely do anything with it at all. I can push myself off a wall and that's about it.

Anyway! For anyone who has been coming to my dojo, I'm having a mini-tournament next weekend. Even if you've come for one lesson, you're welcome to participate. Come in and see what it's all about. I take payment in the form of $10 per class or food, because I'm a terrible cook.

I might manage to fly here after all...we'll see! Don't worry, Mary, I'll be careful.

Apparently I'm not a very talented child in my dreams. Which is surprising given I got into a school dedicated to the arts.

So...this dream thing. It's real, isn't it? I mean, we never had this bad of a volcanic explosion or earthquake really in the heart of Japan.

I just had mine. Well, two of them, back to back. I'm not even human in mine. Something called a Saiyan. Anyone know what that is?

How soon is too soon to take your boyfriend to a sex shop?

Just when you think things can't get worse, you have a dream.

There is nothing more frightening than a child with a gas mask on, walking around and asking 'Are you my mummy?'

Got my tiny little Valentine some new toys for Valentine's Day and my lovely wife red roses and cooked a romantic dinner for her.

Happy Valentine's Day two my two sweet girls.

Well, hi, everyone!

Guess I the newbie here! Moved here from Nippon! Fun!

Some guy on the airplane told me about this place before so I wanted to sign on before I forgot about you people.

I'm Goku! I'm going to start up a karate dojo this week, not sure where yet though. Anyone got any ideas? Anyone want any lessons?

I can't believe he would do that. He broke my heart.

In two days my daughter Christina will be 3 months old. 3 months old! I still feel like I'm not sleeping, like I'm struggling to do anything besides care for her. Laundry is piling up, dishes, cleaning... though my amazing roommate is absolutely wonderful and helps with everything!

I haven't seen my friends as much as I used to. I feel isolated. I miss my old life. And you have no idea how much guilt that brings up in me, just thinking it.

Darlings, you're proving more intriguing than I could have hoped! You have so many stories to share.

[Blocked from Carol Danvers]

I don't know what to do. I was supposed to get married, and now she has fucking amnesia. I'm trying to be supportive and be there for her. But she doesn't even know who I am. I have no idea if she's ever going to remember me.

I'm still living with her, but I wonder if I shouldn't get my own place. It hurts too much to be near her and she just looks at me like.. like fucking nothing.

Fuck I don't know what to do.

I went to see "Her." It was good.

You find the most interesting places that you never knew you were looking for. Who knew people enjoyed that sort of thing.

OPAL!!!

So, finished decorating the apartment for Christmas. Not even sure why I did it. Not like I have family coming, or like family wants me home at the moment.

Probably just end up watching the Hallmark channel and making fun of all their movies with some seriously spiked Egg Nog.

Speaking of, what is the absolute worst Christmas movie people have seen? I'm curious. Personally, my pick is "Holiday in Handcuffs".

( Mildly NSFW )

If anyone's wondering what to get me for Christmas...

I feel like there's not enough coffee in this world. After some dreams last night... the last one ending where we almost lost the Apple farm to some fly-by-night Cider makers. The moral of the story there, folks, is the best product comes from hard work.

Seems like there's always a moral to these stories in my dreams.

I love all the holiday specials that come out this time of year. I wonder if ten, twenty, thirty...fifty years from now, kids will be watching Dexter Butterfingers' Holiday High-Jinx alongside Charlie Brown. Wouldn't that be something?

Thank you for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, mom. You're the best. Sit and relax and I'll take care of the dishes. Siblings? Bella? I enlist your help.

I know things have been a little strange around here again, but I wanted to make a post to get people's opinions. I was thinking of doing setting up something for a pet photos for Christmas. I know some pet stores do it, but I want to help raise some money for charity to give back this holiday season.

Would anyone be interested in having their pet photos taken? I was thinking of having a Santa come in and maybe set up an area with backdrops and different props that you can pose your pet with.
