I'm definitely starting to notice a theme in my Dreams - I'm a superhero Cat Noir and Ladybug had a pretty major role in this one too. It started off with our school announcing a design contest sponsored and judged by my father for a derby hat that I'll wear in the next photo shoot and after looking over some of Marinette's sketches I really think she's got a chance at winning the competition.

Before the competition though a new villain shows up - Mr. Pigeon - and he can control the birds of Paris and uses them to kidnap all the park workers who have been preventing him from feeding the pigeons in the park so Cat Noir and Ladybug have to save the city. They come up with a plan to lure him to them and Cat Noir poses as bait but ends up getting kidnapped by the pigeons himself so Ladybug has to rescue him too only for both of them to end up trapped in a bird cage. I Cat Noir gets them out of there with Cataclysm and they try to apprehend Mr. Pigeon but he escapes and then the Mayor asks them for help saving the city because the pigeons are scaring the tourists away which definitely isn't great.

It's kind of weird that the city keeps relying on these two teenagers to protect them rather than the police or adult superheroes because those have to exist someplace right? Anyway the final battle takes place and Ladybug uses a bag of popcorn to get the pigeons to start surrounding Mr. Pigeon and we they break the birdcall the akuma was in and Ladybug purifies it and returns Paris to normal just in time for the competition at the school to be judged. Marinette wins but Chloe did steal her design and tried to convince everyone that Marinette stole the design from her but Marinette proves that it's hers by revealing the signature she put on it. Her name which you can't read unless you turn the hat upside down. Otherwise it just likes decorative stitching.

More dreams about being a teenager. This time I got to go on a double date with my boyfriend (obviously) and his ex and her new boyfriend. Not exactly an ideal situation. But oh well. I'd rather dream about that than like zombies or vampires or something.

I woke up this morning to the page from the grimoire, like Elijah promised.

I really did not think Elijah was going to keep his word but he did. I know he’s the one they call the honorable one but in my dreams I’m just used to everyone lying to me. He came back with a spell, a spell of unknotting. He said it would require more control than I thought. It took several tries but eventually I did it. I don’t understand why I’m being taught to control magic that I’m going to lose.

Has anybody else woken up to find a item from their Dreams the same night they started having them? Or maybe a couple of items even?

I wear this ring in mine that looks kind of like a cat's face and when I woke up this morning it was on my hand and Plagg was on the nightstand with Camembert cheese.

My Dreams didn't really start off on a good note though. I was back in Paris living with my dad and it was my birthday. My best friend there wanted to throw me a party but my father refused and even went so far as to ban him from the house as a bad influence on me. The next thing I knew there was someone putting all of the adults in bubbles for not being fun and preventing kids from having fun and sending them into the atmosphere and then throwing me a party. He called himself The Bubbler. I thought it was great until I realized how unhappy all of my classmates and friends were about their parents which is when I went into the house and turned into a superhero named Cat Noir? I guess to get help and then this superhero wearing a black leather cat suit with ears named Cat Noir showed up and went out to fight him with another superhero, a girl dressed up as a Ladybug named...Ladybug. We managed to defeat him and then after destroying his weapon to release the akuma inside of it and Ladybug turned it back into a regular butterfly - The Bubbler turned back into my best friend Nino and all of the parents came back so it all worked out in the end.

It was just really weird.

Tell me texting any of my exes is a bad idea.

The ones who aren't dream exes anyway. Not that I'd text them anyway they're the Katherine Pryde Low Self-Esteem Pity Party group. I've had better judgement awake than asleep, mostly.

Except the one who turned out gay, he's fine. Of course if he was around this network would be nothing but bad jokes and puns.

Might actually be an improvement.

My dreams thought it appropriate to gift me with some floppy disks that, as I understand it, contain some pretty advanced robotics programming - even by today's standards.

I would be pleased with this gift, except for one, small problem: I haven't actually owned a computer with a floppy disk drive since I was eighteen.

And the training space is complete.

I'm pretty proud of it actually. Based on traditional Japanese designs to allow space. Guess there are some advantages to owning a house now rather than just an apartment.

I've finally had one of those dreams that you all seem to be so keen on. I've seen so many of you talk about how your dreamselves are nothing like how you are in real life, so I was a little worried.

But in my dream, I purchased an ancient, abandoned castle in Scotland and had it shipped to America so I could build it on top of the tallest skyscraper in New York. My dreamself has pizazz. I think I'm going to enjoy these.

I decided that before I get a lot of furniture in my place, I should paint. What I didn't know is how hard it is to pick a paint colour for each room.

Laurel decided today that the best way to convince us to agree to take her and her sister to Disney Land every day of summer vacation was to sit us down and give us a presentation on exactly why it would be a waste of money to not go to Disney every day. I'm kind of impressed that she did her research. We've got seasonal passes, because we do go that often and it just made more sense to get them. She did her research on how much it costs for all of us, how much it would cost to buy it individually, and how much money we'd be saving by going every day.

The answer is still no, Disney is a privilege and not an expectation. And she didn't take food and souvenirs into her math. But she is in elementary school and there were hand drawn graphs. So I'm still impressed.

More dreams last night. Pretty sure the older guy I've been seeing is abusive. So that's fun.

In happier news it's almost Memorial Day weekend! Anyone have fun plans?

Well I wish I could claim to be surprised by what I did in this latest Dream but that would be a lie. I’m still at the party that my father sent me to in his place to represent the White Court, which everyone there except for maybe Harry realizes was a complete and total insult to Bianca, and after giving me her gift I decide that it’s in my best interest to side with Harry against her. Which is logical until I betray him in an effort to get Justine away from Bianca. It didn’t work out for me and then Harry set the entire place on fire. The man does have style even if it might not have been the smartest plan with him still inside of the building too.

Before anyone gets worried I made it out of the fire - even managed to snag a magic sword belonging to Harry’s friend on my way out that I take with me over to his place as some sort of peace offering I’m guessing. I’m not sure why he trusted me after I double crossed him before because God knows I wouldn’t have trusted me after that but we forged a new alliance to try to get both of our girls back from Bianca.

Which brings up the question - anyone want a ticket to Hawaii? Bianca's other 'gift' showed up on the nightstand this morning and I am never going to use it. And it's either give it away or toss it in the fireplace. I'm not giving away the other gift I found when I got out of bed - Amoracchius, the sword I snagged from the fire on my way out. I don't know if I can actually use it since it's a magic sword but at least I have it. Now to figure out where to display it that Winie and Dio can't get at it.

I'm pretty sure the immediate reaction to waking up from a dream shouldn't be "Well that's a skill that can come in use here" and that basically being it because of looking at it from a strategic standpoint. And yet.... There are two people i can blame for that being my reaction. Haven't decided if it's one or the other or both. It's probably both.

Is there anything better than having a girlfriend who owns a bakery? No, I don't think there is. Not only do I get to taste test new things she's working on, but she brings home extras at night. It's a good thing I've been working out. Otherwise I'd probably have gained like fifty pounds by now.

So, this is the Orange County I've heard so very much about. California really is a beautiful state, and much warmer than where I've come from. I think I could get used to this.

My name is David Xanatos, and I just arrived in your lovely state this afternoon, among all sorts of rumours of Ewoks and Stormtroopers battling it out in the streets. I've heard of plenty of rumours of strangeness here, though I find them hard to believe. Surely there can't be any truth to the things I've heard.



On a side note, I've decided to host a bit of a party, where I'm hoping I can meet some of the people who've lived here for a while, so I thought the best way to do that would be to invite everyone who reads this. Tomorrow night, at my home in Laguna Beach. I hope I'll see you there.
