SPRING IS COMING! And of course, the only way I know this is that there's grass in my town in New Leaf, and today was Festivale. Which means there's a gyrating peacock in my town.

I love Pave, I really do. Cut for image! )

You're welcome. Stock up on antihistamines now!

Well, I suppose I'm not the only "newbie" to be posting on here lately. I'm Ellie Bartowski, and I've just taken a position at Irvine General. Looking forward to meeting people and making a home here in Orange County.

Also, I hear my kid brother Chuck is around here somewhere. Pretend like I just told you some really embarrassing story about him from our childhood.

Well, that's marvelously ironic. In the dreams, I gave myself up to my own daughter, and became a CIA informant. I certainly hope that the real CIA doesn't randomly put cells in the middle of a black ops base, though. A Russian spy sitting in the middle of a top secret laboratory? Unintelligent, to put it mildly.

These last couple weeks here at work have been surprisingly busy. The big guys upstairs randomly decided on beefing up security so I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to implement new policies and seeing everything is installed correctly. It hasn't gone unnoticed though, which is nice.

I'm told I'll be getting a little bonus this month. I've been thinking of a vacation. My dream self was recently on a mission in Bogota with the world's most beautiful CIA agent. As nice as that was I don't think Colombia is the best place for me. Anyone have any suggestions?

Wow. The last week or so has just been like ... Dreamageddon over here. Just nonstop. But last night I didn't have any, so, I mean, I guess that's it for now? I'm sorta glad, to be honest. It was a lot.

It's all kind of jumbled, but, safe to say that dream-Chuck's life is pretty much never going to be normal ever, and I think he just needs to stop hoping for it. His ex-girlfriend who is the bad guy is actually sort of a good guy. It probably wasn't the best idea, but, he let her escape anyway. You know. For reasons.

Turns out my father - my dream father - is the guy that built the Intersect. I wish the reason for him being absent my whole life was as cool as him being a spy, but. You know. He does manage to get rid of the Intersect in dream-Chuck's head, though! And then dream-Chuck puts it back later. And then the new intersect has physical properties? Like, it's not just, you know, flashing on information anymore but suddenly - Boom! Fighting skills. Super cool.

But. Uh. Bryce? Just as a heads up, I'm sorry. I mean it. You'll understand when it happens.

Well. In my dreams, I faked my death to return to Russia, leaving a heartbroken husband and a tiny daughter missing her mother.

I may not be the most maternal person on the entire planet - or indeed, the most honest - but now I'm properly ashamed of my dream self. Ugh.

Bryce: Didn't you say something about faking your own death? Or am I remembering things wrong? Please pardon me if I've troubled you for nothing.

I swear I've been around, really, I have! Video games just own my soul lately.

So I've got my handheld video game problem, everyone knows this.

Cut for image, ota. )

But then I've got this AMAZING indie game that I've been obsessed with.

It's called Long Live the Queen and it's ... oh my god. You're a princess and you have to live long enough to be crowned queen, but there's intrigue and magic and poisoned candy and basically you just die OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER and I got to week twenty once but then she was all OH CANDY and stuffed her face and then they were poison and I guess I spent too long on her weapons training and not enough time on detecting friggin' poison.

OB. SESSED.

Loyalty and friendship, so far that seems to be the theme of my dreams. And now my dream-self is planning to potentially ruin the life of his best friend in order to save him from something that would probably destroy him. It seems I walked into the open arms of the CIA with my eyes open and ready to do whatever my country might need of me no matter how it would change me, but my friend, the best and most decent human being I've ever met, I couldn't let it touch him. The things that you are required to do as a member of the CIA would chew him up and spit him out if it didn't outright kill him. Chuck deserves better than that.

Orion felt the same and asked me to take care of it. So I'm about to do something terrible, to save him, and he is going to hate me for it. As long as he ends up the way Chuck has already told me he does then I guess I can live with that.

I guess it was only a matter of time before I had one of those dreams. I guess when you're told what you may dream about you're more able to realize that you're having one of those dreams. It was pretty ordinary except for the C.I.A. recruiting me and I joined their ranks as an agent. I dreamt a lot of the training and I woke up feeling like I could actually be an agent if I tried for it. A lot of knowledge that I didn't expect to have now. I was also a member of this weird Charlie's Angel-esque group called the C.A.T. Squad. Never put four CIA female spies together - things get intense.

Apparently I've been doing this dating thing wrong my entire life.

According to this article: http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/a-28-step-guide-to-falling-in-love-as-written-by-two-8-year

Not sure how reliable 8 years are (and they apparently know a lot about sex) especially since they left quite a few numbers blank. But I definitely laughed this morning. Sounds like the plot to a soap opera episode.

Visible to all - just wanted to put the picture in the post as well for anyone )

Had a really great audition for a movie that I'm really excited about. Fingers crossed I hear back from them soon and that it's positive news. It's a bigger role than I usually take, which is fine by me. I need to get back into the swing of things now that Granny is feeling a little more like herself.

Not that I don't love all of you coming to the diner.

I've also stumbled upon this LIST OF AWESOME PANCAKE ideas. What should we offer this weekend? I also just saw bacon waffle milkshake at the bottom and I may need to try that one out. I'm kind of partial to mint chocolate pancakes and lemon poppy seed.

So I just dreamed about meeting Chuck for the first time at Stanford. Not quite the same way it happened in real life, but apparently I'm going to go off and be a spy in a few years and fake my death so I'm guessing anything similar to my real life is coincidental.

And I miss Zork.

I am SO glad I got out of New York when I did. That Nor'easter sounds absolutely terrible right now. And I just get to enjoy being in the sunshine since the snow has finally melted away. Hopefully everyone is safe out there and there won't be any terrible tragedies from the storm.

Oh and Happy 2014, everyone! I'm hoping this will be a better year than 2013; I mean it's only been 3 days and I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Um, hello? Not quite sure what to say here, but this man I met yesterday, Chuck, told me that I should look up this network. I guess I should introduce myself and see what happens?

My name is Sarah and I'm the manager over at Orange, Orange frozen yogurt shop in Irvine. I don't hope to keep that job forever, but it's a decent job for the moment. I've recently moved here from New York to spend more time with my mother and a change of scenery. I love gymnastics and martial arts, so if you ever want a trainer in either of those I have some experience in training people and I make a great sparring partner.

And that's about it. I'm just enjoying my declared snow day because only strange people want frozen yogurt when there was a blizzard last night. And I don't want to deal with them.

I love my work, but I wish I had more time to participate in the traditions I loved as a kid and a young adult. I haven't decorated my tree, or put up Christmas lights, and worst of all, I haven't put a silly paper hat on my bird and posted it to the Internet.

Not that I'll get to any of that until this weekend. At least I have Christmas Eve and day off.

People in the office were complaining about how 'cold' it is today, it's somewhere in the 50's right now so I found it all really funny. Apparently this isn't unusual for Californians though.

Stayed home from work today on account of these wicked bad headaches I just started having. Yeah, okay, it sounds like a teenage girl problem, but for real. It feels like my brain is oozing out of my eye sockets or something.

Basically, I spent most of my time on the couch in an aspirin-induced haze, which I guess makes good dream fodder. Dream!Chuck almost got his normal life back, but now there's this rogue band of CIA agents who are trying to make their own Intersect. Things were going super good with the blonde love interest until someone (you know who you are) showed up. And tricked me into upgrading my current Intersect.

Oh, but, hey! Dream!Chuck saved the world from a possible third world war via an old arcade game, then hooked up with his old girlfriend who totally digs his whole secret agent thing. Well, the sort of secret agent thing. Like, more of an agent. He's not great with the secret side of it.

Back to the original conundrum, though, best cure for what feels like imminent brain implosion? Anyone? Bueller?

FUN NON-CHRISTMASY BASED DISCUSSION.

As an avid reader of these boards, I can't help but noticing a lot of us are shameful flirts. To this end I ask: does anyone else ship people on this board or am I just crazy? Like, there's some of you who aren't dating but I just want to smush your faces together and be all NOW KISS.

cut for image, viewable to all. )

Like that.

I swear to god, you guys are going to make me go all Fiddler on the Roof on your bottoms and start randomly setting you up. Which would turn out badly, since I'm sure some of you are like me and are taken but can't turn off the flirt.

I guess I'm just saying augh, Valar, why so cute?

How could I have forgotten how great California is? I went to college here in California, which seems like ages ago now but I didn't really appreciate how great everything is here. In fact I think I spent most of my time between classes playing pool and video games or doing whatever other nerdy thing we could think of. If I had known that I was going to spend the next few years wintering in New York and other places with snow I think I would have spent all my time outside just soaking up all the nice weather.

Anyway, hello everyone. I'm Bryce. I'm new to the OC and am the new computer science and software division manager of the Aliso Viejo branch of SFD Technologies. But please, don't hold my incredibly nerdy job against me, I swear I only speak Klingon when provoked. If anyone has any recommendations when it comes to places to eat or see or things I absolutely need to do, nerdy or not, I'd really appreciate it.
