I CAN FLY AND IM FUCKING LIVING FOR IT. EXCEPT MY PHONE SUFFERED. SORRY PHONE. I dropped it in an ocean.

How the hell is it almost September? That doesn't even seem possible. The summer always goes by so fast, but I guess it could be worse and we could live some place where we'd be complaining about the oncoming months of cold and darkness. And I will admit, I'm looking forward to Starbucks holiday lattes in December, so I guess summer has to end in order for that to happen.

I misread my schedule, and I'm at work an hour early. I'm not about to start working so here's a little game.

Instead of saying something interesting about yourself, tell me something totally boring and mundane.

I refuse to drink anything that will stain my mouth. I have no interest in having a blue or orange or brown tongue. That means I only drink clear pop, and no coffee or tea.

I will be selling Ciao Bella at the end of the year so I can focus all my time and energy on my nightclubs. If there are any interested buyers, please let me know.

Something that never gets old when performing onstage is the reactions from the audience. Even when we begin the show by stating it's a sad song and tragedy, by the time we get to the end, there are always gasps and murmurs of 'no'. I'm fairly certain Brian has had to hand his kerchief to someone in the front row at least every other performance so far.

I went to pick up my allergy meds from the drugstore today, and while I was waiting in line? All the songs on the muzak were songs that I loved when I was in high school. And then it hit me. I turn 27 next month. These songs are all ten years old now, or more.

Oh my god, I'm old. When did that happen?

Every year I tell myself that I won't go to the family get together out in the middle of fucking nowhere and yet every year I go and immediately regret my decision.

Like who the fuck does that shit for fun?

If I ever mention a family get together in the future would somebody please remind me not to go and instead stay home where there aren't bugs and dirt.

I will never understand my dad's obsession with fishing.

It's always weird when customers want our empty bottles...even if they are Pride-related. You know, rainbow colored. Still, it's not exactly safe to hand out glass bottles to customers. Even in the VIP where they can purchase bottles to have in the area, we still can't let you have the bottle. And now, I'm the asshole bartender/co-owner...of course, they only know of the former until they insult me.

Anyway, guess we need to put signs up behind the bar that say we can't hand out bottles.

I'm feeling the 80's today. I need a great 80's playlist for my salon.

Give me all the greatest hits - GOOOOO!

So I have a question for all the dreamers out there. Okay wow that sounded like some really crappy thing a radio DJ would say but hey go with the flow.

How do you generally deal with stuff from the dreams turning up here? Like actual things? Things that were not there before you went to sleep?

The government is arguing that it doesn't need to give soap or toothbrushes to detained children.


They need to step back and see the key word out of that sentence, bloody hell.


They are children!

After a very awkward day-date, I'm so glad to be able to use work as an excuse to leave.

Working until bar-close at Pandemonium. Come on down!

I just had my first wreck in years. I swear that rock came out of nowhere.

I finally made my way to the grocery store this morning and I saw something I really wish I hadn't seen. Who brings their pet to the store and then leaves it locked in the car with no windows open?! No living creature deserves that.

Do customer service workers a favor - never start a sentence with “I don’t want to get anyone in trouble, but..” when you’re asking to speak to a manager. We know by the way you’re phrasing it you want to get someone in trouble. Just be honest about it. You aren’t sparing our feelings. If anything you’re giving us more anxiety. Just ask to speak to the manager.

Well, fuck

Pretty sure I left my phone charger along with my swimming trunks in Singapore

It's not like I can get them Fed-ex'ed

Guess that means I gotta brave the mall after all

Ugh

In honor of Pride Month, I thought I'd share a little bit about... I suppose, my journey. I'm not normally the type of person to spill my personal life all over social media, honestly, but this is one of those causes that I feel is especially important. We should be vocal about this. A younger generation is coming up, and visibility is so very important to them.

( Cut for Friends Pages and possibly triggering subject matter )

I already came out in a press conference a few months ago, but those are boring meetings that few people ever go to. So let me say it again: I, Weiss Schnee, am a Lesbian. And if you haven't already thrown your support behind the Equality Act, please consider it. I personally have diverted some funds to lobbying for it, but I know that not everyone has that kind of cash just sitting around. Social media posts and letters are just as effective.

Something, not law related to binge on Netflix.

Go!

I just came home from work to discover that this seemingly innocent ball of orange fluff I picked up from a box Friday Night has decided to chew right through my very last pair of Manolo Blahniks. Have you ever wanted to just scream and threaten violence upon something only to look at their faces and realise there's absolutely no way that you can?

Stupid feline. I knew adopting this kitten was a bad idea. Yang, he's your son from now on.

So when I mentioned to Granddad that Eren and I were getting to replace one of our living room chairs I wasn't trying to get him to buy us one, although it was a really nice surprise to come home to a new chair today after work. And I really can't be at all mad at Granddad picking it out without discussing it with us when what he picked is this. Pan, Flopsy and I spent our time cuddling on it while Eren made dinner.

Sunday, Mare and I did our annual Mother's Day visit by visiting Mary Alice's grave. I dread the day when she gets old enough to ask me why her mother isn't here.

Does anyone else ever dream about people they haven't seen in years? What even causes that? Makes me wonder what Max has been up to.

It was 2am and I heard something outside. He was sitting in a little niche in the stonework in the entryway to the apartment.

This little guy.

I need to make a place for him. He's so cute.

Well, that song isn't remotely straight. That is a lot of rainbows, Taylor.

I approve.

Someone on set took a few pictures and told me I could model. I'm not buying it. I think I'm just awkward.

( Look at this )

So I'm one of those idiots who waited till the last minute to do their taxes and just had to hunt all over the place for my tax info. It's my own fault though since I kept putting it off. Next year I really need to do my taxes right away so that I'm not in this situation again.

Does anyone want an old Nintendo? Grandpere found it in their attic when they were getting their summer house ready and sent it to Maman and I but I won't actually ever play it. They sent some games too and it still powers on to play them but I don't want it sitting in the house just taking up space.

Just in case anyone didn't know, today was Rex Manning Day.

Another day another dollar and here I was thinking that taking care of animals would be easier. They can't talk back the same way a human patient can but then they do bite and kick when you least expect especially if they're wounded and had the misfortune of walking headfirst into traffic.

That said I'd take that over a smart mouth any day. Some people wouldn't know good care if it came up and bit them on the ass but animals? Well, they get it after a while. May take a few but they get it and then they relax, let you do your job and for the most part things work out okay. Some days it doesn't but that's life for you, got to take the bad with the good.

Course the worst day in my clinic? Better than some of the best days in a hospital.

A high school drama club put on ALIEN!! I repeat, a high school drama club did ALIEN!! This is amazing! I would have loved to have seen this. ALIEN is one of my favorite movies so this would have been awesome!

Also, Rock Solid Panda, yes, we've decided to stick with that name for good, will be playing this weekend at [name of club]. So, come check us out, if you have nothing else to do.

Okay, so the blue hair isn't so bad.

While I don’t approve of animals attacking humans unprovoked I do have to agree with the Phoenix zoo who is not punishing their jaguar for clawing a person who came into their enclosure to take a selfie. The jaguar did nothing wrong in defending it’s territory from an invader. No picture is worth risking your life. No matter how gorgeous the animal in question is.

I just found out that one of my favorite movies, Cruel Intentions, is back in theaters this week cause it’s the 20th anniversary of its release! I never saw it in the theater cause I was only like five when it came out so I really wanna see it in the theater. Alex doesn’t want to though and I don’t wanna go alone. Anyone wanna go with me?

Alright, so I guess I should introduce myself and stop lurking. I'm Jesus and before you ask, no, I can't turn water into wine or walk on water. It's just what my friends call me and I like it. I'm a stuntman and I'll also be teaching a self defense class at the Wayne Gym. So, if anyone is interested, come by.

Okay, so I saw this earlier today and thought it'd be a funny ice breaker. So, google 'Florida man' and your birthday to see which Florida man you are. Mine is, Florida man charged with exposure at Pensacola strip club.

Strange man on the street tried to put a camera in my face without warning and blames me for his broken equipment. He should be happy that's all I broke.

In all the excitement of getting off my...house arrest I forgot to check in on here for the last few weeks. I've been out there actually getting to enjoy the beach right behind my house and going to the grocery store. Just all the little errands and things that I couldn't do for the past year. I still can't do much during the day but that's what all night markets are for. I never thought I'd actually be grateful to Amelie for something in the Dreams.

People can say whatever they like about China - but they know what people want. They built a 250 acre solar farm, which is pretty cool on it’s own because that’s a lot of solar energy instead of fossil fuels. But they went one step further according to the article I read - they built it in the shape of a giant panda. And everyone loves pandas. It’s a fact. And not only did they build one - they have plans to build two more massive solar farms that are shaped like pandas.

Looks like I'm headed back to film in a couple of weeks. It's an exciting project with elaborate costumes and alien/creature makeup. I've really always wanted to try that. It's going to be completely transforming. I do a lot of period pieces, and I can do a smokey eye like nobody's business, but this will be previously uncharted territory. I'm excited.

For those who want a new spring look, book an appointment now before I get back into the film world.

Welp, survey says: It's shrapnel. The kind that's so tiny it doesn't even show up on traditional scanning equipment. Fun times, fun times. My dream self is in the process of creating a battery alternative, because of course he's memorized old blueprints and is an engineering badass. We'll see how that goes. Maybe I'll get lucky and the dreams will send me a present.

Then I, too, can glow in the dark. Bonus: Easier for wireless charging!

Edit: I am not radioactive. The glow is part of the new battery thing. It isn't nuclear powered.

This is your public service announcement that Purgatory and The Seventh Level will be closed for business on February 29th, 30th, and 31st.

I should be doing homework for my classes. And instead? I'm watching a grown woman on youtube bathe in a gigantic bag of tea while she answers questions from her fans. What is even my life?

More important question, what is even her life?

Meet Sonic. Curious little bugger has discovered all of the things to crawl in. Maybe I won't have to make him a extensive habitat at this point. Just put a bunch of mugs in his cage and he's a happy little dude.

Ugh.

I think I have officially had my first set of "Dreams". It was basically like my regular life except apparently being one of the five founding members of the Ipswich colony is way more important. Our five families have something called "The Power" and they've been keeping it a secret for about 300 years, but passing it and this Book of Damnation down the line of the families. One family disappeared, but the other 4 have always been tight and the ones I know are the same friends I have back home. But apparently we're all warlocks.

I don't feel any different, but I'm kind of nervous about what this means in the future if there's more of these Dreams.

So, waking up to someone in your apartment that doesn't live there is always weird. Especially when your boyfriend can't go more than so far away from them. Luckily Nico's never been big on Valentines Day and our plans were basically horror movies and video games. So that didn't really change very much there.

The dogs are living for this. Ziggy loves everyone, so that's not really surprising. He's a golden retriever, it's what they do best. Cesare is very picky about his humans, though, and he's enjoying the hell out of this.

Sometimes you just gotta shame your friends.

Vegas this weekend to check on the status of our new club The Underworld and see how construction is going. Hopefully, we are still slated for a memorial day opening--or at worst, 4th of July.

[Siblings]

Elijah has been kind enough to watch Mare this weekend while I go on my trip, but I'm sure she'd love a visit from all of you. Just don't spoil her too badly.

Finished my second book, and so now it's off to the editor. Which means soon it will be time for everyone's favorite thing again: revisions. Because there's nothing in the world better than rewriting what you already wrote. And yes, I know they're important. Everyone needs to edit their work, and people who think they don't need to anymore... well. That's why I refuse to believe that there are any books in The Vampire Chronicles past The Queen of the Damned. Editors and editing is absolutely a requirement.

It doesn't stop it from being boring as hell, though.

Apparently Eliot and I are the worst when it comes to relationships because neither of us can think of anything to do for Valentine's Day. We've been talking about going somewhere, but can't decide on a place at such short notice. Any suggestions would be really bloody helpful. One thing we don't want is snow. That's the one thing we can agree on.

I'm sure saying as much is only bad luck, but I do love the moments when the Orange County is relatively peaceful.

Because my dreams aren't intense enough as it is, now there are zombies outside my window... I'm honestly surprised I haven't taken up drinking at this point yet. Not to mention the new Alpha Derek is going around my dreams is turning kids into werewolves. I did have another semi nice dream about ice skating with my friends... Until the guy who attacked me appeared under the ice, and I started screaming... Which caused me to wake up screaming at the apartment...


Stiles

Are you okay? Can you believe it... Zombies?!

Scott

Tell me you're with Stiles, during all this crazy shit?

Cisco

Is this what you were feeling??

Mitch

So... Zombies, good for business or no?
