I haven't had a blog since I was about 15, so this is weird for me.

I'm Teddy--I'm a friend of Billy's, and I've just started dreaming, and he said that this is the place you go to meet other people who have dreams, so here I am.

You might know me as Hulkling, if you share the same dreams that Billy and I do.

I'm really interested in talking to people who are aliens (meaning not human) or shapeshifters, since that's what I have to look forward to.

I'm not usually one of those girls who takes pictures of their shoes and things, but I just couldn't resist this time. I had to show off my new snazzy workout shoes and leggings.

( Cut for size )

I'll try not to make this a habit.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!

I'm not really sure they should keep calling it Black Friday when the sales are starting during the afternoon on Thanksgiving, never mind how ridiculous that is. My sympathies to those of you who are being forced to work on a day that you should be able to spend with your families.

How is it almost Thanksgiving? I'm not ready for the holiday season.

Two weeks in, I think it's safe to say I like the new job. Definitely a change of pace, though.

I can't seem to stop eating potato chips today. Maybe it's because they're delicious?

I got into a huge fight with my dream!sister last night. In my dreams. When I woke up this morning I called her, but she was already in school. I hung up the phone after talking with my mother, and realized how silly that phone call was.

I forgot what college classes were like. Kinda fun, actually, following Caroline around UCI today. (Thanks to my Sister-in-Law for watching Christina while I did.) Kinda thinking maybe I should go back to school. I've got some money saved up, and I get a monthly check from Christina's father to help cover her expenses... it seems like something I should do.

But what would I study? I have no idea.

I think I'm going to have Christina's birthday party the day after Halloween. She wants a tea party theme. So, does anyone want to dress like the Mad Hatter and surprise her?

The dreams. They ever get better?

I chase bad guys all day. I don't need terrorists in my sleep.

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME.

Everything is just fine. Situation Normal.

Also, airbending is a thing. I even have my flying stick!

Private to Asami
Is that offer to move in with you still open? I might have just avatar stated my bedroom.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back!

YES! We've got a live Weevil!

OKay, I don't even...

I'm so tired and I keep falling asleep random places, like... I work as a barista guys and they sent me home and I'm actually pretty sure I'm fired. Because I fell asleep right ON the espresso machine. And Asami, she wouldn't wake up yesterday. She's in my bed and she keeps tossing and turning and screaming and I'm pretty worried about her.

And about what Tenzin's going to say now. And classes just started and I'm already missing them. FML.

Christina just plain WOULDN'T SLEEP tonight. What's up with that? What happened to my good sleeper? She's driving me nuts today. Tonight. At least she finally went down, but man.

I need a DRINK.

Headaches are so fun when I can't seem to find any advil in the entire office. I'm pretty sure there is some in the vending machine, but I think it's doing this on purpose. It's taken my money twice today already before lunch time and is taunting me with treats dangling over the edge that just won't fall and rightfully should be mine.

I've created a blue print of how to properly attack the machine at sundown but there are flaws in it. Several minor. Not limited to being crushed by said machine.


..I need a proper assignment or something.

I know the car I want.

No. Make it the car I need.

I know what my next project will be.

I still can't quite believe I'm 18 now!

I had a wonderful birthday yesterday and I start my course next week. Things are going pretty well. I've also been dream free for a little while now, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or if it just means I'm due a load of them.

I really like my dreams, at least most of the time. Even the prepare for trouble rhyme is great. I miss Jessie. She isn't here to tell, so I will call her later.

Anyway, a lot of my dreams seen to center on different types of Pokemon. Like the last set were at sea, so we saw a lot of water Pokemon. Tentacool and Tentacruel were upset that people were destroying their environment, which is kind of relevant anyway. I still have blue hair. I'm not sure that will change. I also tend to cross dress when I'm in costume. That has never been my thing, just saying.

We lost a half-dozen vehicles, including two expensive prototypes. But no one was hurt, thankfully.

Christina has a really high fever. I'm taking her to her pediatritian's office.

I'm freaking out just a little.

Someone say something nice to calm me down? Please?

I think every single bone in my body wants coffee and it's ridiculous how ineffective tea is right now in helping that. I kinda want to be dramatic and throw this thing at the wall, but it's not my cup, and I don't think throwing things counts as relaxing.

I'd settle for sugar. Anything really, even a literal spoon of it.

I GOT IT.

Was there ever a doubt that I would?

While I do not think that PTSD is something that should be made fun of...I was rather amused by this 'cartoon.'

Warning: Cute animal critters that kill each other...also, known as Happy Tree Friends. Not for the faint of heart.

The dreams have been getting far more intense...and with all the fireworks have been going off, it's the last thing that I need.

Just feels like PTSD dreams but with some really messed up enemies.

Oh my god I had a dream where I went to a sea-witch so she could give me legs so I could go see Eric and in exchange she wanted my voice and so I gave it to her and now Eric has to kiss me within three days or else I get my fins back. But so far it's great because I got to go on a really great tour of the kingdom and there was a boat ride and I thought it was going to happen but the worst part is I woke up this morning and I don't have a voice. It's not even a sort of rasp like when you usually lose your voice it's just gone. D:

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

There's no Tim Horton's here! Am I doing this internet search thing wrong? Every time I put a city in California into this thing it just says 'no results found'.

How am I supposed to survive all of this stuff Tenzin's making me do if I can't even escape and get a double-double!?

I dreamt about the summer solstice on the summer solstice. Annabeth, Grover and I ended up succeeding in our quest, but first we almost got killed a few more times, I got a ride from a hammerhead shark, found the Underworld, the winged shoes that Luke gave me tried to pull Grover into Tartarus, we confronted Hades who thought I stole his Helm of Darkness and I realized that Ares tricked me then we had to leave the Underworld without my mother. I wound up fighting Ares and he gave me the Helm, which I sent back to Hades then we went back to New York to Olympus and I gave Zeus the Master Bolt, which had been hidden in my backpack for half the quest.

We went back to camp and I found out my mother was still alive, but I ran into Luke who told me that he'd stolen the Master Bolt and Helm for Kronos. He called up a poisonous scorpion that stung me and would have killed me, but Chiron healed me. We talked about Luke's betrayal then camp ended and Annabeth and I each went home.

I can only imagine what else is gonna happen after this.

I also found my camp necklace next to my bed this morning. It's got a couple of beads on it, but I only recognize the Trident, which signifies me coming to camp. The others must be future beads that I figure I'll find out what they mean as I have more dreams.

In real life, I've now got a job as a lifeguard at a nearby pool and an internship at ENCOM! To say that I'm really excited is an understatement. And then I'm somehow going with Annabeth to Scotland at the end of the month. Should be a lot of fun.

Someone remind me that the next time I'm gonna be going out of the country to look for my passport a lot earlier than a week before I'm supposed to leave. I haven't used it since I went to Canada a few years ago and couldn't remember when it expired and I've been so fucking busy with work and physical therapy for my hand that I didn't get a chance until today to look for it. Luckily it doesn't expire until next year. I got lucky, otherwise, Billy would be going to Scotland without me.

People need to stop me from cooking. Or even entering the kitchen. I tried brownies from a box... I have no idea how they came out so hard. Like fudge. Not burnt, and not really dry... just dense. What did I do wrong?

...uh, hey.

Just moved from New York and was told to check this thing out. They say this is generally where people meet, but it looks more like a dream interpretation website. I don't remember my dreams generally though so I guess I'm out of luck?

Sometimes I don't mind that I haven't found my father, but then there are other times, like when the dream about when he dies repeats, that I wish I could find him. I want to know what he's like in the waking world and if he really didn't know about me. It's just a little frustrating; especially now that I've found out that there are things that I didn't know about my mother.

So far so good over here at E3. I have to say, our presentation for our fall lineup of games went exceptionally well. Didn't hurt to have Tony Stark randomly showing up there either.

Now to take a break, relax, and hit the town for some fun. It's not quite Vegas but it'll do.

Aaaah I got a job! (And my sisters are teaching me to drive!)

With all the commotion, I hadn't let it sink in. They accepted my application to CSU Irvine. I can go to college in the fall. My mother would be so proud of me

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

Next time Orange County is covered in ice and snow, can someone please shoot me a text message? Thanks. It'll save me wandering out of my lab for fresh air and freezing my ass off.

I'm looking at you, Jarvis. And Kevin. And Pepp.

In other news, breakthroughs make me happy.

Wow. So much is happening right now, here and in the dreams. The good news is I think I have a chance of surviving these Hunger Games, in the dreams, which is a lot more than I could have said a while ago. Katniss Everdeen is pretty much the most stubborn person in the world, in case none of you were aware of that, but dream-me owes my life pretty much to dream-her.

The fever's gone. I think it was dream related. My leg got sliced open and it was super infected, and I think being sick and pretty much dying there translated to here. Except now my leg is - Well. It's not bad like it was there. It's sort of red where the wound was in the dreams, and it hurts. A lot. I'm limping all over the house and had to tell my dad I was a klutz and tripped on the stairs.

So I wasn't hallucinating the other day, right? I mean, my dog came inside covered in snow, not some other stuff? He seems fine, but I had a mind to make sure.

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.

Snow in June... in Orange County. This is new.

So that thing is tonight and we're all getting ready to go for dinner. And my sister Arista took this dumb picture of me because I don't even know. Apparently she thinks I'm "super cute and should dress up, like, all the time."

(Also PS I'm glad guys are guys and girls are girls again. Things were starting to get mega confusing around here.)

Has anyone heard from Thalia Grace in a while? She hasn't been returning my calls.

Who was it that recommended that Penny Dreadful show on here? Because OH MY GOD. I'm going to have nightmares!

I feel a powerful urge to start a band.

I can play guitar and sing. Got any other musicians out there? Besides you, Mitchell. I don't mean superstars. Not that you aren't amazing or whatever, but I'm a lowly singer who just wants to jam.

Anyone else watching Penny Dreadful? Cause that shit is amazing.

There is nothing like waking up from a dream in which you've been strangled with a wire only to find out that you've been strangled with a wire when you wake up too.

I'm fine. I'm just going to have a scar.

And I'm a banshee.

( John )

Is that your handwork on the news?

Daddy's having a big gala thing to raise money for Atlantica's grant program. I know I'm gonna have to go, but hopefully I don't need to be there too long. I mean, I'm hoping to work with Atlantica once I'm out of school but those big parties can get a bit dull. There's never anyone my age there apart from my sisters.

Does anyone want to do anything on May 31st so I have a reason to leave early? :D

So, I had myself another dream last night. First one in a while. I was wearing a nappy. I mean, baby diaper. At first I thought it was just from changing Christina so often while I'm awake, but then I realized all my old bandmates from Drive Shaft where there and they were wearing diapers, too. We were shooting a commercial, shaking our diapered bums at the camera, dancing in a baby pack-and-play. Our song "You All Everybody" was now "You All Every Butties". It was horrific.

But kinda funny.

Mostly horrific.

Ooh, new internet site. Hi, people! I'm Doreen, how are you? I figured this would be a good way to burn off stress from finals, chatting with total strangers. Yay, dangerous fun!

My dreams are more like nightmares. I can’t keep them out of my head.

I’ve been thinking about today. Not many people know that today is National Limerick day. Anyone know a good one?
