So alright, here's this thing then. My brother Reg reckons it'll be good for publicity, and my therapist says it'd do me some good to socialize and the like. Though I am not sure I am very good for publicity, in general.

I am Ronnie Kray, me and my brother run a couple clubs up in London, and he wanted to bring it over to America. So I said why not California, right? And he said yeah, why not. And here we are.

I think that is about all. Lovely to meet everyone.

Christ, I hate networking online So this is where everyone around here goes, is it? Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned but I can't ever get a hand of anything on the internet. Nobody likes meeting people in person anymore, it seems.

Right, then. My name's Reggie. I just moved here with my brother, Ronnie. We've never been in this part of America before but it looks to be all right. We'll be opening up a club out here soon enough, once it all gets remodeled. If anyone's looking for a job, we've still got some staff what needs filling.

Do I or don't I? I have some money left over from last month and I've been wanting a pair of gladiator sandals. Normally I don't really spend on things I can't wear to work, but these are hot and would look great on my legs. I feel like I need to compensate for the shit my Dreams have put me through. Pamper myself a bit and go beyond the usual bubble bath and home spa treatment. The bread truck was a nice thing to wake up to, but a new pair of sandals would really be the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Got the best surprise in the world today and it left me with a shitload of fresh bread. Like over a hundred loaves. Any shelters out there in need of fresh loaves of bread? There's no way in the world I'm going to eat all of this before it gets stale and/or moldy.

Alternatively, any hungry souls out there want a delicious loaf of bread? I deliver!

I can't say I don't deserve it, but I'm completely alone in my dreams.

I found Nikki, ready to declare my love to her and tell her I'd chosen her over Vasiliy. She was packing to leave the city. She'd got papers for herself and her bitch mother to escape the quarantine. Nevermind me. She said my calling was fighting the vampires, not being with her. True as it was, the rejection still stung.

I need to punch something that won't hurt my knuckles.

I want a new swimsuit, because I see all these articles that are like WHAT SWIMSUIT IS PERFECT FOR YOUR BODY TYPE, but honestly the most important thing is just to have a really cute one, right?

I'm a fool. Well, I am in my dreams. After Vasiliy literally broke down a brick wall to stop Eichorst from killing or turning me I decided to let him down easy. I chose Nikki over him. The woman who once left me for dead. I make some truly awful decisions in my dreams. I kissed Vasiliy and said my goodbyes, and he told me that nothing good comes easily. I hope I haven't cut him out of my life completely. He'd make a good friend even if we weren't involved.

Around this time next week I'm going to be at the Ministry of Sound half a world away.

I told myself I'd go to bed early but I'm so wound up about this trip that I don't see that happening tonight. I'll sleep during my flight. If I get jet lag you can all say 'I told you so.' I am homeward bound. Well, tomorrow.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers in the O.C.!

After dreaming about uncovering a counterfeiting ring, I've spent all day researching all the different security features that they put into U.S. currency. It's absolutely fascinating how many indicators they've added in just the last two decades! Printing money in the 1920s was a piece of cake compared to trying to accomplish the same feat today.

Still...I can't help but wonder if there are any security features we're not supposed to know about. Some of these pamphlets and websites feel more like blueprints on how to recreate the bills than how to tell the real and fake ones apart.

Things I want for Mother's Day, but can't have:

- Time speeding up so I can pop this bundle of brat out of me.
- To sleep on my stomach again.
- To sleep at all, and preferably on my bed, because lately the hard floor's colder and more comfortable.
- To see kitten videos and not cry because their cuteness is somehow so goddamn moving.

And to dream less about town slaughter in the hands of a demonic fruitcake, but that's unrelated to me being a roly poly. It's another round of 'shit breaks, blame Lina for it awhile simultaneously making comments about the size of her breasts.' The story of my lives.

I'm kind of bummed that my Cinco de Mayo was wasted on stormtroopers. Felt good fighting them but nary a margarita was drank.

Seems I've received a victory gift at an awkward time. I woke up with my dreamcatcher tattoo on my inner forearm. It really is lovely, but it looks like I'll be wearing long sleeves around my mum. She's, uh... Not fond of body modification. I take out my nose ring around her. My dad, on the other hand, will probably think it's cool.

I found something beautiful when I woke up this morning. A silver grenade. It's a weapon designed by one of my friends in the dreams. You pull the tab and it bursts into a cloud of silver dust that burns the Strigoi's flesh. It doesn't kill them, but it hurts like hell and makes for a great distraction while you chop their heads off.

So, if the Strigoi ever invade Orange County? I'm well on my way to being prepared.

I picked the strangest music for my bath, but it worked. I mean, it wasn't the most relaxing bath, but it was good music. If you sign up for Amazon Prime you get streaming music and they have a 70's channel which I highly recommend. Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult, Queen, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire... It was a nice experience. Probably would have made better driving music than bath music, but I'll know better next time.

Thank you to my friend Dutch for telling me about Wikipedia! A very useful tool for learning. Though I do not always realize how long I have been reading and now Victor has limited my computer time to an hour at a time before I have to go do something else for a while.

But I discovered yoga! Which is very good for concentration and making my arms and legs do the right things at the right time.

And Hazel Trees are very pretty! I have also tried Hazel Nuts which do not taste like very much but also there is a Hazel Nut butter with chocolate that I like very much.

My new friends are already helping me learn so much!

Is it weird that after a week off from work, I'm excited to head back in to work tomorrow? I'm not generally one of those people who likes to go to work, but it's been really weird to be home every night this week.

These dreams piss me off sometimes. This morning I threw up pineapple that I never actually ate. I only ate it in my dreams. Eichorst forced me to eat it. The bastard is seasoning me. A whole fucking pineapple that he cut up and served to me. He plans to drain me eventually, but he's dragging it out. He likes seeing me scared. I'm trying very hard to be brave. Maybe I'm being stupid, but I'm insulting him at every opportunity I get. I told him that he joined the Nazi party because he couldn't get laid. I threw the pineapple in his face. That last one was, perhaps, a mistake as he wound up practically standing on my neck and force feeding me pineapple, but I'm not going to make this easy for him. Asshole.

Anyway, any home remedies for upset stomachs? Ever since this morning I've felt sick to my stomach. I don't think I'm ever going to eat pineapple ever again.

Have you ever had a dream that mirrored real life? Last night Eichorst visited me in the white room he keeps me in. He sat uncomfortably close to me. I couldn't pull away on account of being chained up. Bastard. He taunted me, saying how he knew I liked to be looked at and brought up the way I dressed and wore my hair. Sort of like Ruth, only Ruth isn't going to drain me of my blood and turn me into a vampire. There was a revelation, though. I figured out why the creepy bastard is so fucking obsessed with me. Apparently I remind him of a woman he knew when he was a human. One he could never 'possess'. His wording, not mine. He really is a creeper. He said he could have other things - power, the respect of other men, but never her. It must have driven the asshole up a wall. And then I come along and remind him of her. Shit. He's probably going to take seventy years of anger out on me in these dreams. I do not look forward to experiencing that.

No dreams last night, but I did wake up with a... Different kind of surprise. I have ink. Lovely tattoo on the middle of my back. It's an elaborate cross. The details look almost floral with all of these swirls. It must have taken forever in the dream world. All of the beauty and none of the pain. I like it. I hadn't been aware that dream me had a back tattoo, but then again it's not like I get a good view of my back in the dreams. I have another tattoo in my dreams. A dreamcatcher on my inner forearm. I was lucky to get this one and not the arm tattoo before my vacation in May. My mum would have suffered a heart attack.

Tried a new look to get my mind off of Eichorst. Blue extensions. They just clip in and snap out, so I don't have to wear them to work tomorrow. Thank God. I'm sure Ruth would have had something nasty to say about them. Anyway...

I learned something from my latest dream. Vampires flavor the blood they drink. Eichorst brought in one of the cops that delivered me to him, forced the man to guzzle a bottle of schnapps, and then drained him in front of me. He made some silly little comment about loving to enjoy a human cocktail now and then and snapped the man's neck so he wouldn't turn, but left the body in the room with me. I don't know what I was thinking, but I asked him what he was going to do to me.

He said everything.

This doesn't bode well for me. I predict lots of drinking this evening. If these dreams keep up my liver is going to be shot to hell.

Woke up with my first injury. Ugly bruises around my neck courtesy of Herr Eichorst. Nasty fucker likes to collar and chain up his prey. There's no telling how long he's going to keep me, but the room is creepy. Circular, bright white padded walls, cement floor... Blood stains here and there. Obviously I'm not the first person to visit this room, but I'm presently the only one in it. I guess I should feel special.

I miss the nights when my dreams were dreams and not nightmares.

A new dream. A lot has happened. It seems like Eph and I shot Palmer. We didn't stick around to see our handiwork. We made a run for it, but our escape route was blocked and we were caught by the cops. Apparently some of the cops are in The Master's pocket because once we were in a holding cell some of them showed up and hauled me out to a car, saying something about delivering me to the Mayfield Hotel and Eichorst. If I don't escape this is bad for me. This is death or turning bad. As I understand it, sometimes if you turn in your dreams you turn in real life, so I'm actually hoping for the former.

I really need a drink.

So there's a real bitch at the water cooler.

I just invested in these beautiful heels. Black suede, pointed toe, gold studs on the back down the heel. Vaguely sexy. Nothing inappropriate for work. I go to refill my coffee. This woman whose name I haven't even caught yet tells me "Bold fashion choice. I would never wear fuck-me heels to work, but that's a personal decision." then she turns and leaves. Who pissed in her cereal this morning?

Hello everyone! My name is Adam. At least it is if I remember correctly, ha ha ha.

I am a friend of Victor Frankenstein's. Now that my recovery has reached a point where I am able to use the computer with some ease (though I do still have some questions about some of the applications and programs), Victor has encouraged me to join him on this Network. He says it is a good way for me to make new friends.

I am new here. I moved to live with Victor as his roommate, because he is my friend and asked me to. I was in an accident not very long ago and Victor is helping with my recovery. But I am doing very well! Still moving slowly, but at least I am moving.

I look forward to meeting all of you here.

Got a glimpse into my dream self's psyche. She was talking to her partner in crime, the man she's working with to assassinate Eldritch Palmer, the man who sold out New York City to the vampires. She said something that stuck with me. He told her that she needed to choose between Vasiliy and Nikki and she said "Letting go of one of them feels like cutting off one of my arms." Now, I personally think that Nikki is a limb I could live without, but that statement gives me an idea of what my state of mind is in the dreams. I'm truly in love with Nikki. It's not healthy, but it's the way things are.

In other news, Eldritch Palmer is heading to Midtown Manhattan and if all goes right my friend and I are going to put a bullet in him. This might seriously turn things around for the surviving humans. I'm ridiculously excited! I want to go back to sleep right now just to potentially dream another dream right fucking now and see what happens next.

My dream self is off doing foolish yet justified and somewhat brave things again. This time it's an assassination. There's a rich man, Eldritch Palmer, assisting the vampires in their takeover of New York. I'm using my technology know-how to spy on Palmer to figure out where I can hide out to help my friend end Palmer's life and take out one of the vampires' biggest allies. The vampires don't have much without their mortal lackeys.

I kind of impressed myself. I'm using the same technology the United States used to find Bin Laden. It's amazing what you can pull together when half of New York owes you favors. In my dreams I've been holed up in a room with my friend Ephraim for days, just listening to Palmer's conversations trying to put something together, but he never leaves his tower. Hopefully he'll be making a speech or something in public soon.

Last night in my dreams Nikki proved that she's not completely awful. She may have left me for dead once upon a time, but last night she left the safety of our apartment to make sure I was safe and in the end her actions saved my life. So... I don't know. Perhaps I've been a little tough on her.

I piss myself off sometimes, especially in my dreams. Nikki asked me if I loved Vasiliy and I answered honestly. I told her that I did. That prompted an argument and for a second I made myself proud. I brought up the fact that she stole my laptop and left me for dead which of course enraged her and prompted her to tell me that there's something wrong with me. Then I told her that I'd always been in love with her and it has never made me happy.

Then we had sex.

Boom. Every bit of progress I made out the window. I frustrate myself beyond words.

Watching the news makes me think about all the important things I should be out trying to do.

Currently, I'm thinking about how I want to dance like Uma Thurman. I hear dancing is an excellent form of exercise which leads to a longer, more fulfilled life. Mostly I hear it leads to better rhythm which leads to better sex which is simply better all around.

Oh. Right. The news. I'm fucking with you about that. I only turn it on to see what the anchorwoman is using to accessorize with her new breasts today. They are fabulous, by the way, and she is currently the best advertisement for the Catholic church I have ever seen since if it meant I got to look at that crucifix up close and personal? I'd go to Mass every time they said it.

My nighttime soap opera isn't through yet. When I last dreamt I'd moved into an apartment with Nikki. Quite a lot has happened since then. In my last dream I set to vampire-proof our apartment with the skills Vasiliy taught me. Who should stop by for a visit but the man himself and our mutual friend Nora? They came to tell Nikki and me that vampires had broken into Vasiliy's apartment. Apparently the child we'd been living with let them in. His mother is one of the sentient ones. Anyway, Vasiliy and Nora were going to tell a politician that Red Hook was no longer vampire-free and they wanted me to come with, but Nikki was hesitant to let me go so... But then on their way out Vasiliy complimented my welding. It made me feel so happy. I never get compliments like that from Nikki in the dreams. I think when I was welding the only thing I got from her was "You look so gay doing that." It was said in humor, but it's still a far cry from a compliment.

Anyway, I've got a bad feeling about vampires getting into Red Hook. We worked so hard to clean them out. If they're coming back, they'll come back with a vengeance.

Haven't dreamt in a few nights. This is a good thing. There's something really nice about a full night of dreamless sleep, especially when you're working a typically draining 9-to-5. What was really great about today, though, was lunch. I told the intern to get me something small and sweet and to surprise me and he brought me back a cup of rice pudding from this Greek place a block away. It had cinnamon sprinkled on it. I'm telling you, part of me didn't want to eat it. It looked fit for being photographed.

But of course I ate it. It was delicious. First time having rice pudding, but not the last, that's for sure.

Well, dream me is certifiable. She's moved out of Mr. Right's apartment and into an apartment with the girl who had previously left her to be devoured by vampires.

I think I said before, though, that I would prefer to make bad decisions in my dreams and good decisions in real life. Hopefully that's how it'll play out. Maybe I'll learn something from this nonsense.
