....Apparently the universe has a great sense of timing when it comes to our crazy dreams.

Um. Happy death day, guys, I guess. If that's a thing. Now it's a thing. ...Anyway, I'm glad I still have you, mes amis, and you two especially, mon aigle and ma 'Chetta.

This is a pretty weird day, is all I wanted to say, I guess.

Mattresses are useful for barricades, apparently. In my dream, one help preserve our barricade a little longer by catching grapeshot.

Also Cosette's dad was at the barricade in my dream, only dream me didn't know who he was.

There is a thing that looks suspiciously like a powder-flask sitting on my dresser.

Okay, it's definitely a powder-flask.

There is powder in it.

I'm just gonna set it down and not touch it again.

I don't know if this musket is a prop from Courfeyrac's collection that somehow migrated into my closet, or if it's something else entirely, but it's staying very firmly in the back of my closet.

Enfin. Tonight is the night. My debut in opera. I'm excited that it's in my mother tongue, as well - Micaëla is a brilliant part, and Carmen is a truly fantastic opera. I am thrilled, but also absolutely full to the brim with fear! Shall I disgrace myself and country by ruining "Je dis que rien ne m'epouvante"? Or shall I soar above the footlights?

Mes gentilhommes Joly and Aigle, Courfeyrac, Enjolras, anyone of our Amis, I hope some of you will attend, though the dress for an evening at the opera has sadly declined since the 1830s. In the simplest sense, I would be grateful.

Mademoiselle Lecter, I have left tickets for you and your papa at the will-call; I hope with my whole heart that the company and I do not disappoint!

Things I Have Learned: The Hospital Edition (posted before Eowyn wakes up, whenever she does!)


[info]purpleman
[info]valarnet
1. Despite the large numbers of sick people, shiny machines that make noises, flashy lights, and people walking out with less money than they came in with, this hospital is not, in fact, a casino and yelling "Jackpot" when it's time for my fiancee's IV to get changed isn't appropriate or funny. ...Really.

2. Nurse Jerry is not, in fact, my arch rival, even if he does try to kick me out after visiting hours and I've had to resort to hiding in the ceiling as he comes to check. Nor is Nurse Patricia.

3. Laika is incredibly protective of both me and Eowyn. Therapy dogs are no longer allowed to visit us if she is in the room at the time.

4. Green Jello is the absolute best.

5. And so are those little individual cereal packets.

6. But really, do you have to give us an itemized list indicating that the meal contained a moist toilette? It's not something that either one of us is going to consume.

7. The chaplains are about as cool as army chaplains and willing to have long involved conversations with you about anything at all, even if you don't share a religion.

8. Meerkat Manor is actually pretty damn intriguing after the first two episodes, but thank fuck for closed captioning.

9. When you send friends to pick up clothes for you, they'll post embarrassing photos from your house online. So what if I sleep in a nest sometimes? It works for me.

10. As much of a good spin as I'm trying to give this doesn't make a damn thing better. Please let her wake up soon.

I am a bit embarrassed to be asking this on the valarnet of all places, particularly when there are much larger, more important issues to hand right now, but I can NOT keep myself from doing so anyway. Discovering myself, I will be honest and admit to it being myself, there is no good in pretending otherwise, in love with a good friend, a love that cannot possibly be returned due to sexual orientation of at least one of the two potential parties here, has left me confused as to what I ought to be doing next.

Another of our friends suggests that I come out and say it, and take the chance at happiness, but again, I do not think that this friend is like me, and so would never understand where I am coming from, it would cause unhappiness if we tried, and I am relatively content in our friendship the way it is. I only...

The last few weeks, I have considered whether or not we might become something more and whether it is worth attempting such a thing. I did not even know that I could love until so recently, so I am especially confused to find myself in this position. The thing is that, should there be the slightest chance this becomes more, it would be the most amazing thing that has come into my life.

On the flip side, it is patently unfair to ask someone I care for whether they would deal with ME, particularly when they are doubtlessly of a different mindset and preference set than I am, so of course I should not do it.

I am so used to being decisive in all things that I am not sure what's to be done now, but some advice on either side would be incredibly appreciated.

I find it somewhat pathetic and horrifying that I need to state these rules for visiting our home, but unless you happen to be Combeferre, and only Combeferre, because he has more than the sense God gave a mosquito, I would like to set a few guidelines out regarding other people's animals and visits.

So. Today, during fencing, things got hard again. I felt like, well, like a friend has described it, the sensation of being somewhere entirely else, with someone entirely else. It was not incredibly different, really. The equipment is more secure now, but beyond that, I could have sworn that I was back in a completely differentsalle, and not here, and now. Read more... )

It's spring time, which means things are in bloom at my grandparents' farm! That's where we get a lot of our fruits and vegetables, at my parents' grocery store.

We also get our eggs and goat cheese from them, which means my grandparents have goats, which means now that spring is here -- baby goats!

We just got pictures of the newest babies, which I think I should share with everyone and maybe brighten the days of a person or two :)

Sometimes I really, really hate it when my suspicions about some things are proven true.

Locked to Les Amis

So. Tonight I watched our barricade fall in a mixture of smoke, gunpowder, canons, fire and blood and bayonets. I won't tell all of you what happened when and whether or not you survived if you don't want me to. If you would like to be prepared, I'll speak of it, but I have to get a few other things about this out before I try that.

I highly value each of you, in our last life, and this one, and your contributions to our cause. Thank you for your willingness to stand up for the republic and for what was right and true and real.Thank you for your willingness to preserve those things in this world as well as that one, and remember that by our example, regardless of the outcome, we stood for what was right and true, divine and beautiful.

I am honored to have worked with you then and to be working with you now, and that fully understanding the risks then, you undertook them, even to the point of fear most of you must have carried there, but worked through and with, in the hour of our greatest need. My friends. My brothers. I would repeat that life a thousand times over to have all of you at my side, though I hope now that there are better ways to fight and help and things to do.

Never forget that I love you, as I love Patria, and always shall do so.

Locked FROM Les Amis and also Chetta:

Tonight I watched my best friends die, falling before my eyes, each one more awful than the last. And my closest friend went down while being bayoneted while he helped a wounded enemy. I was the only one left to see it, and to stand and still face them, after having been through all of that. I do feel sorry and a deep grief for their deaths, as I was leading them, but as I said, I know that it was not my fault, and they knew what they were getting into. All the same, I feel the need to turn to them, a little stronger than this time last week. Perhaps that is some sort of sign.

At any rate, since I'm not going back to sleep, I might as well see to the content of the brochures for the literacy drive and take them down to the print shop while on my way to class. I'd wondered how I'd make the time, so, really. Win/Win?

I dreamed I was at the barricade. I was making cartridges with Feuilly. I am not sure who decided it was an okay idea for me to do that. But somehow I managed not to injure myself or Feuilly while undertaking that task.

I told him I thought we'd be taking a diligence to another plant soon. Meaning it was near the end for us all. I am not sure how to feel about that.

Noted, for the general edification of this network:

1) Sometimes dry skin is just dry skin, not a fungal infection.
2) Fungal infections are terrifyingly gross.
3) The internet is convinced I'm dying.
4) We shouldn't trust the internet. At least not in my house. :/

I hope this has been informative.

I am a genius! You know those delicious marshmallow vodkas? Well, I wanted some Peep flavoured vodka, which they do not make. A rather large hole in the market, I feel!

However. I fixed that.

Guys! I dreamed we were building a barricade, and I commandeered an OMNIBUS for the barricade.

And somehow managed not to get trampled in the process.

I'm not sure which is most impressive.

Last night I dreamt of Lamarque's funeral. When the revolution began...such energy. It was electric; all of Paris was alive with the heartbeat of revolution.

We disarmed a National Guard post. Somehow, I ended up with the most weaponry: a National Guard's gun and two pistols. Enjolras had a double-barrelled hunting gun; Jehan had some old cavalry musket; Bahorel had a rifle; Feuilly had a sword; and Courfeyrac had drawn his sword-cane.

I think I'm mainly going to stay home until whatever this is is over, if only so I don't discover knew and interesting ways for Bad Luck to happen to me.

Even if I am a little curious to see what might happen.

The hospital bill might be a bit steep, though.

I think the entire world got a bag of tainted weed.

Alright, so. It would appear daily watching of Dr. Oz is extremely helpful when working on a paper about alternative medicines. Now I know about cancer prevention! And allergies to aspirin. And Chinese medicine.

....I wonder how one would test allergies to aspirin, that seems like it could end really badly. Luckily, I'm pretty sure I'm not. Also, if anyone ever laughs at me for inspecting my tongue, I'm going to tell them I'm an advocate of ancient Chinese medicine, and the tongue is the map of the body. So there.

Anyway. Alternative medicine! Give me things to research, guys! It'll be helpful for this paper.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the highway! Dun Dun Dun! Mr. Kennedy is finally headed back to the road! I know, I know, the entire population of this community is now properly horrified by the fact my suspension is over and I’m entering the closely monitored probationary phase of this fun filled state mandated adventure that started last October. Watch out for the little red Prius, guys, since apparently I’m going to fuck your shit up if you get close or want to drag race.


On you to find the location and distract the cops though. ...HelLO, legal enforcers on the valarnet who I actually do know are here. I swear that if there IS a drag race, we’ll do everything we can to make it legal...can you HAVE a legal drag race? Do I even want to find out? It’s not as though I’ll actually DO it unless I’m obligated. Which right now? I very well might be, damn and here I was so excited I don’t have to face the bus again.

And conscience makes a coward of me in the end. Hello there, Valarnet. This coward’s name is Archie. And I have nowhere else to go. Be gentle with me, won’t you?

Hello, Valarnet!

I never did any sort of official hello on here, and then the Blue Plague thing happened and I was kind of distracted. And also trapped in a hospital because of quarantine, not because I was sick.

I'm a law student at UCLA. My name's Eugène Lesgle de Meaux, aka L'Aigle, aka Eagle, aka Bossuet. Only my mom calls me Eugène. Mainly I answer to L'Aigle or Bossuet. Bossuet's a...pun relating to French language stuff and it's a little complicated, but I like it.

Anyway, hello party people and people who are no longer stuck under quarantine!

We need to talk about what I just did, and my example none of you should follow.

...If I don't die, I'm officially putting myself on probation. It was probably unnecessary to go as far as I did in the blog yesterday. I stand by it but it wasn't necessary, and I owe all of you an apology for going too extreme and far too soon, and for putting everyone who commented in potential legal danger. It's the internet but we shouldn't get too comfortable all the same, a lesson I've still got to learn.

I think that most of them have written this off as the fever having eaten my brain or something along those lines, which pains me to have it reduced to this, but without that, I've blown the cover we are going to need and soon.

I'm sorry I put you, and put the cause in danger, and I'm sorry I enjoyed it and the traffic, and probably kept Joly awake laughing when it really wasn't that amusing. I know that isn't quite enough just now, but I will do my best to make it better, if you'll all still stand with me.

So, uh. Considering 1) creepy plague and 2) both Enjolras and I sound like we're dying of consumption -- the UCLA food drive is, unfortunately, cancelled. Hopefully we can manage it next week if we're doing better.

(Besides, it'd be a bit silly to pass out possibly-infected food, wouldn't it?)

Anyway I feel a bit like crap, so I'm gonna keep this short. Spread the word, if you intended to help.
