Whoever it was that told me bringing in a band was a good idea, I just made a boat load of money, had a full bar, and god damned hated it. What the hell was that? God I'd never had to kick out so many puking drunk girls or drunk, touchy type men in my life. I swear it ain't worth a damn nickle extra. I'll stick with my usual style.

I feel like I'm drowning in an avalanche of homework. The St Bernard with the little barrel around his neck is going to come by I just know it.

How's everyone else's school year going so far?

Had more dreams last night.

After freeing Joshua from Rheticus' Compass the tool decided sit on his butt and watch YouTube videos all day as way of catching up with the world. Thankfully Artie got him a job working at CERN.

I however decided to stay at Warehouse 13. Which I mean come on. When you discover that there are freaking artifacts with magical powers, how do you go back to a normal life?!

Summer colds can go to hell. Didn't realize I was feverish until the right time of course in the middle of my shift and now I'm stuck attempting to finish it anyway. Keep me awake network thing? Cats, stupid jokes, whatever?

I thought I could, but thanks to the dreams writing no longer feels... right. Looks like I am taking a break for the time being.

Note to self: Next time I rescue D from terrorists, I should have a plan other than barging in through the front door with my handgun, yelling for everyone to put their hands up. That's a really good way to get six assault rifles pointed at me.

So yeah. In my dreams, D and I got kidnapped by terrorists, and we were supposed to find the lost treasure of El Dorado for them. Then we found it. And it was a bunch of fucking gold fish. Not like koi fish or whatever goldfish actually are, but this extinct species named the Titicaca (hehehe, titicaca) Orestias. It would have been fucking hilarious if I hadn't been so sure we were going to die. But hey, at least I got some fucking newspaper clippings to commemorate the time I got kidnapped by terrorists, whisked away to South America, discovered an extinct species, and then got yelled at by my boss.

Does anyone know how the fuck I'm supposed to explain these handcuff wounds on my wrists to my coworkers?

My dreams seem to be forever on the weird side.

last time I was hacking into government files. Now I'm actually breaking into a top secret government warehouse full of the most insane things on the planet to kidnap a guy. Using electrocuting handcuffs.

But I did manage to save my brother from some strange dimension of nothingness. So...might have been worth it.

Whilst watching Bridezillas, I have to wonder if these women have simply Hulked out and are absolutely unlike how they are normally, or if the men they've found are simply mental.

Am I so odd for wanting to get married in my garden and then have some people over for food? I don't want anything huge and stressful. That sounds like the opposite of fun.

So I discovered this group called Sylvan Esso and I'm completely in love. I've been listening to the album non stop for about three days now. Which made me realize I tend to do that with any new album I get. Is it just me that does that?

Why are textbooks so expensive? What are they printed on, unicorn hide? Good lord. I don't often wish I was back home, but after paying US tuition rates and then having someone slap me with a thousand dollar bill for my textbooks, I'm starting to wonder why I live here. (Oh, right, I love you lot.)

As per usual, anyone looking to keep from getting swallowed up by the nastiness going on outside, my bar's open for shelter should it become necessary. It's getting to be a tad bit more a problem than it had been recently, and if it's the end of the world, best be getting some drinks in before it hits.

Does anyone know if there's anyone looking for an apartment who isn't completely bonkers?

I tried the whole putting out an ad for a roommate thing. I recommend that to no one. All of the crazies seemed to come out of the woodwork. The very last interview was an "artist" who painted with...well let's just say it wasn't any form of paint.

Queue me removing the ad, showering in scalding water and barricading my door.

It's turning out that my dream life fucking sucks!

The compass my dream brother was talking about to the old weird guy? Apparently it wasn't just a compass that says "Hey north is that way!", it was a teleportation device. Only something went wrong and Joshua just vanished in this crazy glow of light. It looked like he disintegrated! Which left me completely alone.


These dreams either need to get better or just stop happening.

My parents have been here less than a week and my mother is already in top form of driving me up a wall. First it was saying this place wasn't safe because of all the attacks. Now it's talk about how I need a man in my life to keep me and Christina safe.

No, mother, I don't need a bloody man. I have a girlfriend for starters, and I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Does she really not remember I do taekwondo? Not to mention I also apparently have skill in kenpo as well, thanks to my dreams? I also have a very handy stun gun courtesy of my dreams as well. I think I'm quite well protected.

I swear the next time she makes a comment about my needing a man, I am going to slap her.

I don't know what this shit is that's going on right now, some rather messed up stuff, the sort that makes a man's skin crawl. But what I do know is it ain't feelin' right, or safe out there for all of anyone. We got weapons, food, and shelter at the bar should anyone feel it in their right mind to hunker down for a bit until the authorities get their heads out their asses for once and do the things that're needin' to be done.

That's for anyone who needs a place to stay, by the way. Who don't feel safe in their own homes.

So I attempted a third meal to cook on my own, this one was a complete disaster. And grease fires are just a phenomenal piece of chemistry... regardless, all is well. My supply of specialty meats is a tiny bit exhausted, but otherwise all is well.

So instead I'm playing Super Amazing Wagon Adventure Turbo... it's just... it's frustrating. So frustrating. I might, instead, switch to Goat Simulator and get my achievement in Flappy Goat, but that's also remarkably frustrating.

I had another dream tonight. My brother was talking to some professor guy about a compass, some guy named Rheticus and teleoprtation. I'm beginning to think my dream self is in some fucked up Twilight Zone episode. Its just so weird.

Schools almost done. I have my graphic design show on Saturday and then I'm pretty much home free. Pretty exciting stuff and there shall be much celebration. And if anyone is interested in seeing the show its at 5pm at UC Long Beach campus. Some of the pieces everyone put together are pretty awesome!

In other boring news it looks like my roommate is going to be moving out. Which means ill have to start looking for another one. Its crazy how hard it can be to find someone to live with that you don't end up wanting to murder.

Well fuck all this.

Fuck these dreams, and all the demons and vampires and whatever other bullshit happens to my dream self. I'm done with it, I'm over it.

I need a change of pace. So tomorrow night (that's Thursday), all y'all are invited out to my ranch (the one I live in, not where I work) for something of a hootenanny. There'll be plenty of music, food, and booze to go around. No dress code so long as you don't show up naked. There's a pool, so bring your swim trunks if you like. No life guard on duty or whatever though, you can take care of your own selves like responsible adults.

Party starts at five, anyone who's at my place past midnight gets turned into a pumpkin.

RSVP here or whatever, if you want. Or just show up.

Have you ever had a dream that was so damn real that even after waking up it terrifies you? I've never been one to remember dreams but tonight was so vivid. I dreamed that I was little and that my parents and my sister were killed in a car accident. For it to be just a dream the pain was so real. And then my brother put his entire life on hold to take care of me.

I know that none of them were really happy getting a phone call in the middle of the night but I just had to hear their voices.

I don't think I'll be going back to sleep tonight.

Well, I suppose if I am going to move across the country, I should get to know some people. I have been told that this is an excellent way to do that. My name is Rose, and I just moved here from the east coast. I will be starting at the California State University in Irvine in the fall semester, where I will be studying art history. In the meantime, I will be working at Baxter Bakery.

I look forward to meeting all of you.

I feel like I need to write some sort of Frequently Asked Questions page, just to avoid the rush of But you're blind, why are you on a message board? So let's address a few things that I tend to be asked whenever I venture outside of my bubble.

Are you really blind?
Yes, I really am. You can stop waving your hand in front of my face. I'm No Light Perception (or NLP) blind, which is exactly what it sounds like.

How do you use a computer?
The same way most people do, but with some added software. I have a screen-reading program that reads text to me, and a dictation program that I use to write longer documents. Shorter things, like a quick e-mail, I can type on a normal keyboard, and then have it read back to me to make sure my fingers were on the right keys when I was typing. Peer editing is also very helpful.

How do you watch movies?
I don't, technically. I listen to them, like you would an audio book, but with a buddy to explain the action. I usually like radio plays or just listening to music better, but I hear Netflix is introducing audio narration to some of their shows, so maybe I'll check that out.

Am I missing anything?

i cannot believe how mind-numbingly boring not being able to move much is. at least i get my stitches taken out tomorrow.

anyway, i haven't had anything to do but look through the internet like a loser and do some homework like a fucking dweeb, and i came across some japanese trend of father's jumping next to their daughters. which is apparently a thing.

i keep picturing my father doing this with my sister, and its honestly more distubring than my dreams.

I really need to stop hiding away in my cave like bedroom. Otherwise I'm destined to become a crazy cat lady. Only I don't really care for cats so it would definitely be a bad idea.

On the plus side I did manage to get some artwork done. So at least I've been a productive hermit!

With very little to do in the way of work until this condition passes, I have been spending too much of my time on things like Buzzfeed. It is a good waste of time, though sometimes I do see stories that upset me.

I do suppose this is the world we live in. But I cannot help but feel almost sad, for I myself am a practicing Catholic (though I do wonder how my new found vampirism will affect that) and an ambassador. I do not know the man, but he is a peer, and it would cause me a certain amount of discomfort to be in such a position as him. I will keep him in my prayers.

I must admit, I like the space for my clothing store. Things are coming together rather nicely; there are still a few things that I need to work on.

First, I need to come up with a logo/brand name for my line. As much as I would like to throw my initials on my work, I don't think that men would want to walk around with "DP" on their clothes. However, the ads for that campaign would be incredible...and pornographic. Hahaha!

Secondly, once my store is up and running, I will require some stylish people to work for me. Are there any people who dress well and know how to work those seeking clothes? And I suppose it would be good if you knew what colors/designs went well together and which ones don't.

My mother has sent me home with enough left overs to last me until the End of Days. Well, maybe not that much but still. I'm starting to think she's convinced that I'm still one of those college kids that lives off of pizza. Secretly I'm glad though because mom's cooking is amazing. Now If I can just keep it away from my roommate...there's the challenge.


Also Hello I'm Claudia. I'm usually behind on the social media tools but someone said this was a pretty nifty place. Since I have no idea what to even put on here I'll just give a few random facts about myself.

1. I love old movies. Like Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable old movies.
2. I have a rabbit. His name is Hermey.
3. I firmly believe that take out taste better when its a leftover than when it's fresh

So a friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this open photo shoot for the No H8 movement at the end of May. While I've luckily never really suffered from any sort of discrimination or anything I always feel it's important to show support for the people who have and it looks like a great place to network and socialise.

Would anyone like to come with me?
