So.

I had another dream.

I saw the world end. Our world. I was in a space station, watching as the sun expanded and swallowed the Earth. There were no more humans living on it, but…that was home. Sure, it was so many billions of years in the future, but it felt so depressing. How can I feel so upset over something that hasn't happened? And won't happen while myself or any of my friends are still alive?

I almost got burned alive too. But the Doctor was there…always the Doctor. He may have given me a hard time for wandering off, but he was always there for me; despite the heartache and strangeness of the situation, he was there.

How can I be so interested in a man I’ve only dreamt of twice?

24 doesn't feel much different from 23. I got a couple of fantastic presents. Drank with some college friends. Stayed warm, because it was unbelievably cold on my birthday.

My stepmother bought me a year pass to Disneyland, so that's cool I guess.

So this is America, then, is it? Honestly, I can't say I'm much surprised. It's more or less how I pictured it, well, maybe with a bit more snow for California but there was that whole vortex thing last year, yes?

Anyway, I heard someone at the university mention this and figured I'm rather old hat at the blog thing, why not give a network a go. It's meant to be a good way to meet people. I'm John, John Watson. Dr John Watson, if we're being proper. I've come from the UK to teach at the University of California, in Irvine, in surgery. I used to be in the military back over there - the UK - but now I teach. I am just a teacher.

I actually left England and chose California for the weather... seems a bit ironic now, especially today. Looking out of my window the weather is particularly bad. Still, don't have to go anywhere until this evening, so now I shall enjoy a warm tea and some fantastic reading. Which is fortunate, because I can't really seem to find my winter jacket.

I probably left it in England.

I don't normally spend any real time concerned about any TV in general, let alone anything reality based and so scripted as something like "Pawn Stars". However, a student in class had mentioned to me that on one episode, the 'Pawn Shop' managed to come across a First American Edition copy of Jules Verne's classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

I of course became more than a bit curious, most editions were lost in 1872 during the Boston fire. It's widely known that about only 50 - 60 exist in the world, so yes I decided to research the authenticity of this. I went to Vegas myself to see the book and study it closely; the expert they had is actually an expert, and one who I'd take my own books to. Still, when you're an expert yourself you feel the need to look with your own eyes.

I did, that's where I've been since my holiday began, and I must say I was taken back to find that it was, in fact, Jules Verne's First US Edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues. I don't carry the kind of money on me that would be necessary, but after working out some deals... well, I just spent far more money than I really should have on this book, but $10,000+ later, I am now the proud owner of this magnificent find. I don't spend money on much, and as a collector and lover of great literature it was almost a necessity. I think the price tag is worth, and understandable.

I suppose now I'll be eating TV dinners for the next year to make up for it.

I must say I have not been in America during the holidays before, so this Christmas shall be quite the experience. I have only recently moved here, so I have not even had the time to unpack much! Though I suppose I should make an effort for my daughter, hm?

Considering my status of being new here, I should introduce myself. Hello, my name is Helena Wells. I moved here from Hamburg, Germany. Moving half way round the world is not recommended, it is rather stressful.

You'd think that the holiday season would be quieter work wise but instead I've spent even more time working than I normally do.

Someone commented that they found it surprising that I could actually find time to work even more than I currently do.

Another long night. The nights leading up to the holidays seem almost worse than the nights that come after them. I'll likely have a few days off between Christmas and New Years. Now I just have to figure out what to do with them.

Some guy on campus handed me this flyer thing today, inviting me to go to this Halloween party at his house. He was... really forward. ANd he smelled really bad. And when I said I might bring my boyfriend to the party, he told me boyfriends weren't allowed. And guys had to pay to go? I don't know it was really awful, and he wouldn't go away and leave me alone.

See, Caroline? Buffy? We need to have lunch together every day to avoid the creeps!

Do you have Halloween Plans? I was kinda hoping to stay in, watch scary movies and pass out candy? There are a dozen kids in my apartment complex who have all stopped me on my way in and out to ask me what kind of candy I'll be passing out.

Oh, and don't let me forget I need to buy some candy.

October means half the office has bowls of candy on their desks, which is absolutely killing me. A man only has so much self control, and peanut butter cups are my one weakness.

Maybe a constant sugar buzz will be good for productivity.

I seem to get myself into all kinds of trouble in these Dreams. I should have known better. And hiding in a closet with Peter? Things are confusing

Given recent dreams, I agree with the general consensus that Peter Pan is a completely psychotic little bastard. What sort of sick, twisted child cuts off a man's hand? And then feeds it to the local fauna.

A few days ago a strange girl woman woke up in my apartment. Strange as in a stranger, not as in weird. She's actually quite nice. So far it's been good having her around. Joanna thinks she's great, and her bedside manner is much better than mine.

I see we're not the only ones who are stuck in this sort of predicament.

Back to blogging... from a phone. Not enjoyable at all utilising this keyboard. Was told off for not remaining 'connected' by a colleague, so here I am. Doubt I'll have anything beyond the upsetting news about bananas to offer, but I'll give it another go all the same.

Halloween is coming!! Woo! I'm making pumpkin shaped pumpkin spice cookies. I love this time of year. Leaves, too, but the pumpkins have such a fun shape and flavor...

And orange. Orange and black and red and yellow.

Does anyone have any requests for pastries at the bakery? If you leave a comment, I'll make sure to try and get to every request.

Pumpkin Spice Sparkling Lattes are on sale this week, too! Come on by the bakery and have some yummy goodness.

A well-known search engine led me to believe that this community might be a good place to search for fellow Canadians abroad in the Orange County area.

If that is not the case, I am sorry, and you should feel free to stop reading and continue on with your lives.

If there are, in fact, other Canadians living in Orange County:

Greetings. My name is Benton Fraser, and I recently moved to the area when I accepted a position at Occidental.

I was surprised to learn that Southern California is home to a curling league, which, although they do not have their own dedicated ice, seems to be quite enthusiastic. Unfortunately their 10-week and 5-week leagues are full, but there is a pick up game this Sunday, if any other curling enthusiasts are interested in joining me.

Thanks to that sleeping bullshit I got stuck in the hospital for another four days. You want to hear about hallucinations and nightmares? Let's all remember that a thousand stuffed animals were still starin' at me with their little beady plastic eyes the entire time. Anyone ever seen a cartoon movie called Akira? Look up the damn scene where the animals come to life. I dare you to sleep peacefully after that shit.

You didn't do your usual thing where you get out in public with your gigantic golden staff and take credit for the misery of thousands, so I'm guessing you didn't actually have anything to do with this one?

And how would you like to work for me? Hysterically funny, right? But I got a department that could use a guy like you at the helm of it.

While I'm yet to be effected by whatever is happening as a PSA just in case. I'll be in one of the following places. If not then worry

1) my office at the UCI
2) The McCoy residence
3) Baxter's Bakery
4) My apartment

Probably in that order too...

I made about six dozen Chocolate Chip Espresso Cookies. They have Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans baked right in. They're for sale at Baxter Bakery until supplies run out. Come on down and buy a cookie!

The offer of a free add shot to any espresso beverage still applies. Just buy a drink and mention Valarnet. I want to make sure to caffeinate everyone who's in danger of falling asleep at the wheel.

Please get to and from work and other places you need to be safely!

As of this school year, I will no longer be teaching high school history; instead I'll be teaching history at the University of California in Irvine. I was offered the job on Friday on simply couldn't turn it down.

So... okay. People have weird, physical things from the dreams, right? Not just things that show up, but... deformities? No, that's wrong. physical changes to a person's body? Because I woke up with wings. And Pixie Dust.

I had a really long dream last night. One of my former fairy friends showed me that she knew how to manipulate pixie dust, but she got yelled at by Fairy Gary (who was a bit of a dick, btw.) and then she went off. Like, a year later she showed up again, stole dust, changed my talent and did all kinds of weird stuff. Then there was a pirate ship and... Captain Hook. He was the Fairy, Zarina's, first mate. But it turns out he was using her, so I had to save her and then we stole back the dust, and convinced her to come home with us.

Long dream. And I woke up with ... I woke up with wings.

So, my mom knows that I've been working towards getting over my fear of water for awhile now and she knows that I've been working as a lifeguard, but of course she doesn't know I can breath underwater or to what extent I'm over my fear exactly, so I decided to get one of those waterproof phone cases and before I left the pool today, I took a quick video of myself underwater and sent it to her. She called me a little while ago and told me how proud of me she was that I'd come so far after almost drowning a few years ago.

I also had a few new dreams. First, I had a dream that Grover was being chased by a Cyclops and they ran into a wedding shop and then it blew up. That same day, at my new school, I was in gym class, playing dodge ball against some seventh graders and they turned out to be Laistrygonian Giants and tried to kill me and my friend Tyson with flaming dodgeballs, but Tyson tried to protect me then Annabeth showed up and helped us kill them. She summoned the Gray Sisters Taxi to take us back to Camp after that. I can only imagine what's gonna happen once we get back to camp.

I guess I can now officially join the dreamers group. Last night, I dreamt that I was back in Finchley with my siblings and my mother, but it was during World War II, during an air raid. We were hiding in a bunker in the backyard and Edmund went back inside the house to get a picture of our father who was fighting in the war. After that, our mother sent us away like a lot of families were doing, to keep us safe. We went to live with a professor, in this rather large house in the countryside. One day, we were extremely bored and played hide and seek. After that, Lucy claimed to have been to another land. Later on that night, we found Lucy and Edmund in the hall and Lucy was claiming to have been there again and that Edmund went, but Edmund just made fun of her so I yelled at him for it. Then the Professor asked Susan and I what had happened and when we told him what Lucy and Edmund had said, he acted as if he believed her. The dream ended with the four of us hiding in a Wardrobe from the housekeeper.

So, long story short, my dreams seem to be quite boring. Truthfully, I'm a little disappointed.
