Wife an' I decided to officially get divorced since we both got tired of tryin' to explain to people the whole open marriage thing. Plus she ain't moving back to the states anytime soon an' we both wanted to keep our options open.

Moving across country is a feat! Everyone told me to give up my books and join this century with e-books, but no, thank you. I've had some of these books since I was a little girl. You can't get the smell of an old book through an IPAD. However, lugging them across country? Not so easy.

I'm May Parker. How is everyone today?

Thank you again. Just as soon as this place looks like less of a disaster, we need to have dinner.

Looks like we can be more than pen-pals. How are you, hon?

In my dreams, I have definitely been kidnapped by dryads. Adult me is less concerned about this than I am in the dreams: after all, at least if I'm surrounded by people who are paying attention to this dumb child version of me she can't run off and get herself killed.

It's always fun when you arrive in a new state, and the moving van is a whole day behind you.

Anyone know where I can rent some temporary furniture until my van gets here? There's never a smooth way to relocate, is there?

Nothing like being suckerpunched in the gut first thing by a weird surge of energy.

If you'll excuse me I'm going to pop some painkillers and go back to bed.

Also old news for some but holy shit Fillory is real but definitely could have done without experiencing all the naked and being tied up in ropes.

I just spent the better part of this afternoon cleaning out my closet and identifying things that I can donate. I totally did this in my dreams, too, except in the dreams I was selling them because my credit card had been declined.

I think I'd rather just give them away. It feels better. Charity begins at home or whatever, right?

Plus more closet space means I can stock up after winter when the spring clothes come out.

These dreams are really weird though, and like not in a good way. I've definitely not grown wings or superpowers or whatever but me and my friends are definitely getting stalked by someone who knows like, literally everything about us and is possibly our dead friend.

Ugh. no thank you.

Waking up from a dream where someone literally has their hand in your chest results in god awful heartburn. Heart ripping being a thing is not something I'm likely to get used to, but it seems like mine might be in a lockbox and doesn't want to leave.

Plus side, finally left the Enchanted Forest (through another portal and got spat out of a well) which means my hair care bills should go back down. Thank god.

Also, I woke up with a notebook full of spells beside my bed this morning. Add to that my new tattoo and I'm generally not all that pleased with the world today.

I'm so done with these dreams. Like really.

Magic and the fairy tales I can deal with, being sucked into another realm all because I stopped someone from killing the Evil Queen is not okay. What the hell is a reaper anyway? I thought that was just for the people who were dying?

End up sucked through a portal, transported into another realm where we're in like the olden ages or something and we can't get home.

Worst part? I wake up with hair that's been brutally set upon by humidity. Took way too long to shower and get it sorted, I had to skip breakfast just to make it to work on time and I'm grouchy and can't show it.

Not amused Dreams, not amused.

I keep having the same recurring dreams. Not DREAM dreams, just regular neurotic dreams. I have no idea how the actual "speak now or forever hold your peace" thing goes if someone actually objects to a wedding in real life, but that's the part I keep dreaming about. It's always someone who wasn't invited to the wedding. Sometimes it's my parents, sometimes it's Am's deadbeat ex, and a couple of times it's been the girl I had a play wedding with in kindergarten when 1. I had no idea I was gay yet and 2. I was five, and there's no way that was legally binding.

All of them are uninvited and, so, really, they have no say.

I guess, really, I'm just nervous they're going to show up anyway, and try to make a scene. My parents or his ex, I mean. I just need reassurance there really isn't anything they can do if they try.

It's been a few months since anyone has tried to throw something through my windows. At least while I'm at the office. If they have when I'm at it hasn't gotten through. Should have gotten bullet proof windows a long time ago.

This dream stuff is getting stressful. Nothing is making sense, I'm constantly unsure if I'm on the right track of figuring these things out or if the sheer insanity of it is just getting too deep and I'm starting to lose myself to that too.

Curses and witches and fairytales? Really?

And to top it off, I just got a new car. The bright yellow bug isn't exactly covert either. The ten grand hidden in it was a nice bonus.

Also, could've done without a trip down a very confusing memory lane. Think I'm going to start my weekend drinking early.

You know anyone who says the customer is always right has never met a bloody customer. On the whole, customers are a demographic of the population that are statistically more likely to be wrong than any other. And sometimes when they're not trying to do returns that are out of policy they're just arseholes.

What kind of jerk leaves a bad review on the internet because I didn't want to take his number and let him take me out on a date when he's done nothing but mouth breathe and stare at me creepily for a week as he hovered by the checkout? He's lucky I didn't punch him in the throat.

Welp.

If all these losers are telling the truth, the end is nigh and all that crap.

Eff hoarding or stocking up on stuff. I'm going to take up juggling. That way, when we're rebuilding our society, I can perform tricks for food. Screw foraging! Who has time for that? Not me!

Or maybe I'll learn how to milk a cow. That's a good skill to have, right?

So, apparently, dream me stayed in banishment for ten years since I went in when I was six and I seem to now be sixteen. Great time. My mother seems to be very... obsessed with me finding a prince and a large castle with a mother in law wing with lots and lots of mirrors.

I should also specify, I'm the daughter of the Evil Queen, so I'm technically a princess, which is cool if my mother was some old crazy woman obsessed with looks and beauty.

Dream me went to school for the first time, since I was castle schooled for the past ten years and clearly, she is terrified, excited and scared. The woman who banished us, her daughter is a bully to me. So this is gonna be fun.

Some days I think I could have been anything. An athlete, a guy who flips burgers, or a veterinary but no I had to go and pick the one vocation that means I spend pretty much my entire life in a hospital. That means my social life is pretty much dead in the water but that's what I get, I knew what I was signing up for, and yet I'm still complaining.

Go figure.

I mean I blame the fact I haven't slept in like... 16 hours for this rambling post of ramble.

Bao just won the Oscar for Best animated Short. Domee Shi, the director, is the first female to helm a Pixar short.

I'm so thrilled. It's amazing to me how things have changed from when I was a child. Representation is slowly reaching the media, females are given opportunities...yes, I recognize there's hard work at play and it's ongoing but really -- so much better than before.

Positivity, my friends!

The weirdest thing about these dreams, for sure, has to be waking up with the feeling that something's missing. They feel so real and there's just this ache for what was.

Not that it's all sunshine and rainbows, not at all. I've always been grateful for how my childhood turned out, but I think these dreams are just really highlighting how shit things could've been. And then it just seems to take even longer to get things back on track.

Thank god I don't need to deal with similarities in the waking and dreaming worlds now.

So, let me get this straight; it snows in Orange County, with snowmen who ... are psychic? Is that what that meant? Or the snow itself is psychic? And you envision them melting to stop them?

And people have dreams about ... sucky other lives that make you not want to get out of bed in the morning?

I have had the most interesting dreams. Fifty years in the future.

It felt as though I were actually there. Good friends with a certain Dr. Ziegler, and my husband some sort of official in an organization called Overwatch.

They seem to have enemies, as people keep trying to kill him.

I have a list of different places and recommendations that I look for every place I go. This thing just makes getting those requests a little bit easier truth be told.

So, tell me, Orange County, where's the best coffee place? Where's the best bar and what do people do to relax around here?

And if anyone knows a place that's hiring, maybe shoot me a line?

Why in the bloody hell do these dreams have to continue? Though I suppose the cliffhanger they ended at before was a bit awkward. And you know what else is awkward? Wanting to propose to your dream ladyfriend and getting a blessing from her father - only to realise that you were the one who murdered your would-be fiancee's grandfather. Neither she or her father know that, of course, because I seem intent on keeping it a secret. Since clearly a secret like that is a way to get someone to accept your proposal.

It was a robbery gone wrong, mind you. I just thought he was some twat whose carriage me and my crew looted, and then dumped the body on the side of the road. Sorry, Swan. I didn't kill anyone you're related to here, I assure you.

Well, anyway, all of this nonsense means a certain Savior has returned from the alternate universe she was sucked into. And we finally know who was clearly sent to kill her from yet another alternate universe. Do you have a headache yet? I certainly do.

Did receive a harpoon out of it though. It's enchanted, and why wouldn't it be? Perhaps this will come in handy next time I want to locate wayward souls, or potentially spear a squid for supper.

So, we've had some employees at the ranch come and go - most notably, what I can think of now, is that we're definitely hiring for the accountant position. Other positions too, outdoor jobs and always volunteer work, but if you like numbers we sure could use your talents.

Good benefits and hours are flexible. Plus, you know. Dream crap - I completely get all that. Trust me.

And because I'm one of 'those' people...

Today I had my first experience of someone rudely asking me if I was pregnant. I thought this was more a faux pas nowadays, but no, people apparently still do it.

The answer was yes, and may as well say it here too. I'm due in November and can eat again without throwing up so I guess it's obvious I've been going to town on, well, everything I can stuff into my mouth.

You'd think that knowing something was coming would in some way make you ready for it. I suppose it's true in some scenarios. Less so with dreams.

My first one since about late ways through my pregnancy, and even with the warning about what was going to happen, in a fashion, I still feel completely out of sorts from it all. I guess getting used to this is not on the cards.

Well, it seems my dream self has taken to entertaining children with war stories. My nephew was quite delighted to hear about the time the Volstovic ambassador had some bad eel and threw up all over the Ke-Han warlord's favorite niece. He was also quite impatient about getting to the Dragon Corps. At least I seem to have pulled myself out of my never-ending pit of self-loathing. I was particularly tired of waking up feeling just as tired as I had when I went to sleep the night before.

So, it's been well over a month since I had a dream dream. And I'm mostly thankful for that, because getting sleep without that added headache has been great.

That said, I wake up from a nap today, completely perplexed from my entirely too vivid, and strangely plausible dream where I'm stuck in the middle of the ocean, in a tiny row boat, with Pinocchio, trying to find out way home with no navigation and all we have to eat are Fruit Loops.

I'm really hoping that it was just a cereal induced mid-afternoon crazy dream and not the new wave of weird from Storybrooke.

So, the highlight of my day was killing a wreath. I was in my office and all of a sudden I heard some of the children screaming. I grabbed the bow that I keep in my office and rushed out into the foyer to find an evil looking wreath trying to get them. I fired off an arrow that pinned it to the wall then a second one that effectively killed it. Luckily it hadn't hurt anyone. I'd hate to think what would have happened if I hadn't been there today.

What was the highlight of everyone else's day?

I just clipped my daughter's wee fingernails and of course it's bloody impossible to clip little tiny things that are the thickness of about three molecules, barely discernible even under a microscope, and the one drop of blood and her screaming and sniffling just about made me want to off myself for being an utterly terrible father. I finally got her settled after some time in the rocking chair and singing her favourite sea shanty.

This might be even worse than the first explosive shit that was the excremental equivalent of that Game of Thrones red wedding episode.

And naturally the sextant with the Pegasus insignia on it, given to me by my brother Liam in the dreams, suddenly made an appearance when I woke up today. It was used to guide us to Neverland and then later in conjunction with a star chart to get us off the godforsaken island. I'm concerned that if I touch it I'll somehow end up in Pan's hell again, but I suppose it is a convenient historical tool for teaching about the art of navigation.

So, there are upsides and down sides to maternity leave. One downside is the almost self imposed isolation, I mean really he's almost two months old and I'm still making a production about possibly taking him outside, despite the fact that he's totally ready for it. Apparently, Orange County has made me paranoid and I really have to pack almost everything to take out on little trips.

But then, the upsides are pretty fantastic...

Okay, you know how certain pregnant ladies get that whole stereotype of crabby and fussy and just plain annoyed all the time? There's a reason for it. Sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation and a lazy baby who is officially past due to come into the world.

None of the methods work, I'm not past due enough to induce and I haven't slept longer than three hours at a time in the last four nights. And if one more happy smiley person touches my belly and asks questions I will zap them!

The enjoyment is officially waning.

Alright, remind me not to scroll back to more than a few weeks here - you just get lost in a cesspool of who knows what. Only thing I've managed to take from it is that I'm a little concerned my teenage kids are also on this forum and reading about your issues, your dick jokes, and your internet hook-ups.

So what is it, really? What's the percentage? Like 40% dream talk, 40% Plenty of Fish, and 20% Craigslist?

Name's Hades. Was mostly working and making movies in Europe for the past few years, then moved Stateside to direct a gem called Inferno. We're about to go into post-production, so I'll just take two seconds to be useful and say, hey, putting out the call for post-production jobs and internships. Hit me up if you're interested.

It is with a bit of exhausted fanfare that I proudly announce the arrival of our half-English, half-Yank spawn - Lina gave birth to our daughter today (without the need of drugs, mind you, whereas I certainly almost fainted a few times). Amelia Romany Wisdom is her name, and she's just a little over five pounds and a couple weeks early but apparently she was eager to make her grand debut and join all the oddness around here.

They're both doing well, though Amelia will probably have to stay a few days before we can bring her home. Our families are all quite happy too, but that could be due to the vodka my future father-in-law brought with him. Visitors are certainly welcome if you're so inclined.

Alright then, I'm back from the dead and likely in need of extensive therapy. No, literally, I was dead for about a month and trapped in the Underworld - did you know it's essentially a more grotesque, red-tinged version of Orange County? Not certain why it was designed that way but in my dreamworld, Underbrooke was a dedication from Hades to his ladylove. That's sort of weirdly romantic, isn't it? Building purgatory with your lover in mind?

Anyway, my thanks to friends and family who were concerned about my whereabouts. I'm quite looking forward to catching up with those who actually missed me. And I know there are a lot of you who have got girlfriends and such but I'd like to inform you that I've got the prettiest.

cut for image, viewable to all )

Perhaps I'm a bit biased but after being dead such a face was a sight for sore eyes.

You know what else was a sight for sore eyes? Part of my beautiful, beautiful ship. As a 'welcome back' gift, Orange County decided to present me with what looks like the bottom portion of the Jolly Roger. It is my most fervent hope that this place stops yanking my chain in a not fun way and just lets me have my first love so I can assemble a crew and sail off.

That being said, am taking applications for a crew now anyway.
