I used to love to go urban exploring in high school. Abandoned houses, stores, and even tunnels from where Sacramento was built on top of old Sacramento. And it was always interesting the kind of things you'd find left behind in old places. Or graffiti left by people who also explored it before you. My sister and Mom were always convinced that A. a tunnel would collapse on me or B. I'd run into a crazy squatter living in one of those places.




So today my sister sends me a video out of the blue with urban exploration in the hashtags. Two people opening up one of those bomb shelters from the cold war? I've never been in one of those. Anyway, they open it up to be greeted with someone having an Elmo hand puppet peek around the corner.

Do I know that was most likely staged for the video? Yes. Am I still glad I never came across someone with a hand puppet peeking around the corner at me? Also yes.

I don't see how all of a sudden our pets are a problem when they weren't when we moved in. One of the reasons we picked this complex was because it was so pet friendly. But we just got a copy of the new lease to sign, and all of a sudden "no tenants are allowed pets too large to live in a cage or aquarium". We didn't get a new landlord or anything, same landlord. But drastically different rules for no reason.

Obviously, we're not signing it and aren't renewing. So now we need to find a new place that allows pets, preferably in or near Irvine. I just don't understand why they decided out of the blue no one should have any cats or dogs. There haven't been any instances of anything around here that I'm aware of.

Has anyone else ever walked into their apartment to find their significant other vacuuming, but they're wearing a hoodie backwards with one of your pets in the hood like a weird kangaroo pouch? Because that's exactly how I found Armin and Mopsy today. And apparently he does this all the time, and I'm worried for no reason?

I saw the White Rabbit again in my Dreams! And this time he talked to me! Well he thought I was someone named Mary Ann but that's not the important part! He needed my help to keep the Duchess from executing him over something or other by going to his house to get his gloves and fan that he'd dropped in the Hall we fell into. The Hall disappeared while the flood was happening so I went running off and find his house by following the signs that point in that direction. As soon as I went in the house it finally hit me how weird all of this is and I ended up fantasizing for a few minutes about what it would be like to have Dinah ordering me around the way the Rabbit did but then I realized she probably wouldn't be let in the house doing that.

I found his fan and gloves and right next to them a little bottle on the table and clearly dreamAlice hasn't learned anything about just eating and drinking what she sees in this strange world I'm dreaming about because she drinks the bottle down even though there's no label on it because her logic - something interesting is bound to happen - and she's not wrong. She starts to grow bigger which is great at first until she stops drinking from the bottle only to keep growing. Finally dreamAlice is so big that she has to lay on one side with her arm out the window and one foot up the Rabbit's chimney in order to fit in the house and that's when she quits growing.

And that was when I woke up.

You'd think by now they'd get it - pinch my ass and take the consequences. But no. Every year some idiot 'brother' in that house decides he's going to be the one that gets away with it. And every year campus security has to come out and get involved. This year's idiot ended up with two broken fingers.

Pinching someone on the ass is not 'playing around' or 'being friendly'. You want to give a friendly pinch on St. Patrick's Day? It's called the arm. I have two of them. They're visible.

It's March, March means being able to find mint chocolate things everywhere. I'm specifically looking at you, McDonalds. I'm not sure about all of them, but the one closest to us doesn't have the shamrock shake available. I get it's a limited item, but it's just the beginning of the month.

Some peope have a dog that barks whenever anyone comes near the door. I have a giant rabbit that thinks the pizza delivery guy is there for her and thumps her feet at us for not letting her out to go visit him. I guess that's preferable to barking at him, but still.

Sorry, just because I'm not in culinary school and only do this part time doesn't mean I don't know what the fuck I am doing! But apparently the new shift manager at the bakery thinks otherwise. I've only been doing this since I got my learners permit when I was fifteen, you know? Maybe that means I know more about the day to day stuff.

We had some eggs that go out of date tomorrow, and as always, I was cracking them in the sink to wash the yolks down. Because if you just dump the entire thing in the compactor, it's going to stink. But I was apparently wasting time, goofing off, and should just throw it in there to get it over with. And we got into it until I finally did what I was asked. And predictably, they curdled in there because the kitchen stays freaking warm. Somehow this is my fault.

I'm just. I'm doing this for extra money, this isn't what I want to do with my life. My first job IS. I don't need this stress.

[Armin]

Don't worry. I haven't done anything rash. I mean, not yet anyway. I'm slowly being driven there. But I know it's something I'd need to talk to you about first. I could find another part time job, or do door dash, maybe write some freelance articles on the side. Or. We could sit down and see if what I make at the newspaper would be enough for us if we slow down on spending on some things. I just. I need out of there.

Do you remember when you were a kid and you kept begging your parents for more money so you could keep playing skee ball so you could earn more tickets for cheap toys, and they told you it was time to go because they were tired of eating bad pizza while you ran around with the energy only an eight year old high on pixie sticks has? Do you ever look back and wish you knew how to bypass the bad pizza and electronic rat to buy those toys outright?

Apparently at one point I found where to order them and bought a present for myself that I completely forgot about, and came home today to a box of 100 glow in the dark alien toys. Which, alright they're cute. I just don't know why I have them. We're going to keep a few of them, but does anyone want the rest? Maybe someone who owns a gumball machine or something? Or teachers looking for prizes to give out to students, too.

So I'm pretty sure that the bakery Eren works at is about to ban me from coming in to hangout while waiting for Eren to get off. I try not to get in the way of them doing their jobs, get my brownie and cocoa and go sit at a table with my books to study while I wait. But today I just couldn't keep my mouth shut when I heard this woman going off on the cashier for repeating her order back to her. It's not incompetence. It's not being unable to do her job. It's wanting to be thorough and make sure she got it right since you couldn't be bothered to get off your damn phone while placing it.

[Eren Jaeger]

If they do ban me you'll just bring my brownie to the car right?

Just a helpful hint for the next time you find yourself dealing with a service worker. If you find yourself about to utter the words "I don't want to be difficult/a bother but/however..." just stop right there. Do not finish whatever that sentence was going to be because it can never end well. Any sentence that starts that way actually means "I'm doing this on purpose to make your life harder because I can".

I missed part of Halloween because of the OC being the OC, and I'm still trying to buy our kids' love back with treats. Now I'm having to spend election night sober while we all await the results, because somehow a newspaper actually mistook me for an actual responsible adult and gave me a job. So... I'm not having that great of a time right now. Armin's getting stoned for both of us. Which is weirdly comforting in a way. I might be stressed, but at least he doesn't have to be as stressed?

Just hoping the country has more sense than it did in 2016.

I honestly never thought I'd have to be saying this but just in case anyone was unclear: it is not a violation of your civil liberties to be asked for your ID when buying from a dispensary. You're buying an age restricted item, you should be expecting to have to prove you're old enough. Jesus Christ if you aren't mature enough to do that you sure as hell aren't mature enough to be smoking.

"Lime is sus, he's just running around" Lime is running around because he's done with his tasks and is trying not to get murdered for standing in electric too long, but sure vote me out. Or better yet don't call emergency meetings for stupid reasons so we can win this round? Unless you're the imposter, that is.

So yeah, I've gotten hooked on this game while I wait to pick Armin up.

I had the strangest thing happen to me earlier. I went to get something to eat after my last class and I was on the phone with my brother while I was eating, just minding my own business. I hang up the phone and almost immediately this girl, who had been sitting nearby, comes over and tells me that I have really perfect teeth. I know I have pretty good teeth, but I've never had a random person come over and tell me that before. So I thanked her and told her I had to go and left.

Has anyone ever had anyone randomly compliment their teeth before?

Well shit. The gym I go to for my MMA training is closing. There are classes on my campus but a) I don't want to deal with idiot frat boys anymore than I already have to in class. And b) kind of want to learn more than just how to fend off somebody trying to assault me outside of a club - Nasir taught me that first few lessons. I want to learn more practical stuff living out here.

Especially since my abilities from the Dreams are apparently just going to stay more passive/get the hell out of the dangerous situation. Which great to be able to do but....not always helpful.

I wish friends and family would think before buying things for our pets. I get that the bunny shaped chewy toy is cute, and I could see why someone would think "Oh, Zelda would love this!" and send it. But... we also have rabbits. So we don't get bunny shaped dog toys on purpose. Zelda has a very low prey drive so we never really worry about her around them, but we don't want to encourage her to think of her sisters as toys. So this is going to be donated to the animal shelter. Like any other rabbit shaped dog toys.

I thought I'd gotten the rabbit I woke up to last month comfortably established at the Magic Guild. Nice little hutch in the library for people to talk to it, and be as creeped out as I was by it's repeated use of one word in that grating voice, but I go in today to feed and water the little thing and it's pouting in the corner of it's hutch not looking at anyone.

Anybody know if rabbits can get depressed? And if they can what do I do to fix it?

So I'm now on desk duty answering phone after saving the world and losing my live. Till Howard Stark entered my life, office clerk/officer by day and not quite sure what to label myself by saving the world at night? It's a joke that I can do more work than an whole office can, but that's how world of my dreams is. I'm lucky enough to have a fellow name Jarvis to work with, he's a lifesaver. At least I'm still trying to go good in the world, even if I go unnoticed.

Please keep in mind, if you wake up with something that's happened into your dreams. Bruises, wounds, are you in hurt worst than that.

Come to the clinic!


We understand and will help treat you.

I'm adding Eren as a passenger to the list of conditions that I will not drive under ever again. On the way back from our honeymoon today I was driving to give him a break behind the wheel and we got cut off by somebody who came really close to hitting our front end. My grown adult, college graduate husband rolled his window down, leaned his head out and shouted at the other driver that they should go 'choke on a bag of dicks'. The future of journalism ladies and gentlemen.

I just found out from a Tik Tok that apparently your tongue sticks to dinosasur bones/fossils, which is an easier way to find out if it's a fossil or rock.

The things you find out about someone the month before your wedding. Eren who is a horror movie nut to the point of we have a tv in our bedroom for when he's watching his movies in the living room - has never seen The Mummy. Which is the one horror movie I've watched all the way through and actually enjoy watching.

And made me realize that my interest in archaeology and ancient societies wasn't just a side effect of my massive crush on Harrison Ford. I mean that's a part of it but not the main reason my interest in them stayed.

Could someone please explain people to me? Part of my closing tasks at the end of the night is cleaning the restroom. Which isn't a job anyone really likes to do, but has to be done. I've seen my share of weird things, like the one time I went in and someone completely TPed the bathroom (just. why?)

Last night, though, I went in and someone took the lining out of the trash can and filled it with empty packages that look like they were from the game shop a couple of doors down. And poured what looks like an entire energy drink out on top of it all. I... what? What was even the reason for any of that? Did they think a can of red bull was going to destroy the evidence for them?

My mom in my dreams is not at all surprised that I skip classes. She wasn't upset or mad when Vanessa and I showed up at her bookstore. But Vanessa needed her to translate something in Latin.

O Mater Luna, Regina nocis, adiuvo me nunc.

Later that night after Vanessa's date with Michael she calls me to go come sleepover at midnight. Which is okay with my mom...because she thinks I'm an alien so rules just kind of never applied to me. She found me on the side of the road near a crash and I only have two memories before Kendra found me. Memories of a crash and a fire.

So somehow I've gotten put in charge of planning Eren's bachelor party since he's marrying his other best friend. I have no clue how to put together a bachelor party and the only guidelines I've been given is 'no strippers' which seems a little unfair since I'm not the one getting married so I should still be able to enjoy right?

Any suggestions for what I could do for this thing?

[CJ and Six]

So...I'm thinking maybe I can just throw the party at the house for him?

Cut to save friends page, not filtered )

This is Bella. A friend I think? of Amycus rescued her and her puppies from a bad spot and they asked me to take her in once the puppies were weaned. I honestly was expecting her to take longer to get settled in with me but it’s nice that she has so quickly. And unlike a certain fluff monster I know and love and will still happily sit, Regulus - she is willing to share the loveseat with me when I’m watching TV.

She’s actually a lot calmer than I expected about being left alone for a few hours when I’m at work. As long as I take her for a walk and give her a cuddle and make sure her dishes are full before I leave. The only thing I’ve noticed that makes me worry is that she seems to have some type of nightmares sleeping by herself in the living room so I moved her bed into my room and that seems to help. And sometimes she’ll just get on the bed with me after I’m asleep unless I’ve brought somebody home with me

I'm tempted to see if I can't find out if there's a General Pyxis in this world and how much he's like the old man in my Dreams. At least there he's willing to listen to people. I'm still not thrilled about them separating Eren and I but at least Pyxis is letting me help with planning the defense of our home. And is trying to protect Eren too even if he is having to lie about things. Or at least I think his explanation of why Eren can turn into a Titan is a lie. I don't like the idea of Eren's parents okaying him being experimented on by the military.

The plan we come up with is for most of the troops to gather at the far wall, away from the hole and lure as many of the Titans as we can over there to give Eren, Mikasa and their group an easier shot at the hole for Eren as a Titan to plug up with a boulder. I swear to God if he gets his dumbass self killed there I will kick his ass.

Yes I bring my dog into my office everyday. Yes I frequently am seen petting him during meetings with clients who aren't allergic or afraid of dogs. No brides that does not mean that he is available to be a part of your wedding package. Next one who tries to push on it is getting asked to leave and getting a partial refund based on how much work I've already done.

I've found the solution to keeping your partner from stealing your clothes, for anyone who needs to know.

An unrepentantly bad sense of humor.

See, Armin will steal all of my hoodies, even my bi pride hoodies when he's 100% gay. The only one he won't touch is my "Bi bi bi" one. Because "Your puns are bad and you should feel bad"

If your partner is the one with the worse sense of humor, then sorry. There's no hope for you or your wardrobe.

We sometimes leave Food Network on for background noise when we're not watching something in particular at the apartment, and Guys Grocery Games was on while I was working on something, so I was only half listening to start with and this may be my fault for mishearing. But this one guy had this really thick French accent, and I have no idea what he actually said. But my brain interpreted it as "sautee the muppet." And I am about 98% sure that THAT can't be right.

Hey, Orange County, thanks for what has to be the absolute worst belated birthday gift I've ever gotten! Maybe next time just send a freaking gift card. Or not even bother at all. I don't know which is worse, the way this feels or that I need to personally apologize to Mikasa next time I see her for the times I thought she was exaggerating every month, without explaining.

But hey, now I figured out for once and for all which parent I look most like because there's no way Mom didn't just clone herself when she had me.

I'd always heard about how people charge more when they hear the word "wedding", but I always thought that they were exaggerating the whole thing. I mean, I worked at my Mom's bakery through high school, and I work at one here. But I always felt that it was a fair price for what it was. And... honestly, Mom's going to make our cake, so we don't even have to worry about that part at all.

But we'd decided that our dog was going to be our ring bearer, and we'd been looking for a little dress for her to wear down the aisle, maybe that we could attach the rings to. And the quotes for it are more than our tuxedo rentals are going to be. Now, I know it's not for material because it's not like Zelda's a great dane. She's a pug. A tiny lapdog. One of our rabbits is bigger than she is.

And if I search for dresses at regular pet stores? They're not much more than her little hoodies and doggy sweaters are. And honestly, they don't look all that much different to me.

But somehow it just feels weirder to be someone buying his dog a random dress than a dress for a wedding. Like, who honestly puts their dog in formal wear just because?

I’ll admit it - I was a passive aggressive little shit to my coworker today. I’ve been working with her for over a year, almost daily, and she refuses to call me by the right name no matter how many times she gets corrected. And today I just...reached my limit. I’ve corrected her. Our coworkers have corrected her. Our manager has made a point to point out my nametag to her when correcting her. So today...I just didn’t answer her when she started calling for Aaron. I didn’t acknowledge it. I just kept right on with my stocking even after she started shouting it. She finally stopped and angrily asked one of the other guys why I wasn’t answering her and she seemed utterly floored when he responded “Because his name isn’t Aaron.”

I know it was petty but I’m tired of her not listening when she’s told my name. And I’m tired of humoring her and letting her call me whatever she wants. Being old doesn’t make it okay to be rude or just do whatever you want.

I knew that deciding to take a break to watch the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street was going to be a little weird for me with everything that happens out here - it feels like we live in a horror movie at times out here already. But it's fun to get scared sometimes right? So I settled in with the popcorn and my remote to watch it on Netflix, and within the first ten minutes realized that one of the actors looks a hell of a lot like one of my best friends. And that people are still as dumb as they were in the first one. Freddy Kreuger gets you through your dreams - how is hiding in a closet from him going to keep you alive?

I'm not breaking out my 3dmg for this - ghost adventure? But after getting shot at I'm gonna keep my blades on me.

What the hell is going on? I just had somebody try to stab me with a bayonet and then disappear into thin air after it passed right through me!

Well the wardrobe from my dreams that just showed up in one of my guest rooms is going to come in handy the next few months. My biodad is getting some honors for his career and humanitarian efforts, and he wants me to go with him to the ceremonies and dinners here in California. So all those dresses that have just been hanging in there are going to get some use. Now to just figure out what to do with my hair and makeup for them. No. No. I'm not at all using this to distract myself from the fact that I haven't found someone to oversee my internship yet

The worst part of Eren's internship? The late nights he has with both that and the bakery leads to me not being able to sleep well sometimes. Which leads to me going on the pokemon center website to take a look at the new plushes because it never hurts to look right?

Until it leads me to discover the real reason why Team Rocket is always trying to capture Pikachu - they're trying to stop him from killing and skinning any more of his fellow Pokemon to wear them as capes.

This morning I couldn't find my keys. I looked absolutely everywhere I thought I might have left them, even checked the door in case my dumbass left them in the lock. I had to drop Armin off at school before getting to my internship, so ten minutes after we usually would have left, we finally decided that I was driving his car today. Otherwise there was absolutely no way that we could have made it, and we just figured we'd look for the keys tonight when we got home from work.

We tore the apartment up looking for them and still couldn't find them. I remembered we went grocery shopping yesterday and wondered if maybe I accidently threw them away when I went to take out the stuff we cleaned out of the fridge. Since we couldn't find them anywhere else, I ...went dumpster diving. Hoping that we didn't have a pickup today.

No, I didn't find them out in the dumpster. While I was out there, my fiance remembered we hadn't checked the laundry yet. And somehow they were buried at the very bottom of our hamper. Now, there are six culprits that could have put them there, but the bunnies and the pug can't reach where I usually put my keys.

Which leaves Pan as the reason I don't think I will ever get the smell of old takeout out of my shoes.

This video game is really starting to piss me off. I shot that creature in the face when it was practically on top of me, but it did barely any damage? But I hit it with a 2x4 that was laying around in the game and it took half it’s health? What kind of sense does that make?

I think I actually might have killed some brain cells with the research for my paper. The professor assigned us all a case that we were supposed to research the criminal justice aspects of and if the party was acquitted we were supposed to research what they have been doing with their lives since the trial. And no, I was not given OJ Simpson although he does come up in mine. I got Casey Anthony who got charged with murdering her daughter Caylee. The entire thing was insane with what happened before she was brought to trial, but where I really got sucked down the rabbit hole was with what happened after her acquittal. For people who don’t know the story I’ll try and give a brief rundown of what went down - before they realized Caylee was dead her mom claimed that she was with the nanny so the police spent a lot of time tracking down the woman only to find out when they did that she wasn’t the nanny. In fact she’d never even met Casey Anthony or anybody else in the family so they start treating this like a kidnapping case with a stranger as the culprit.

Which is how an organization that runs searches for missing children gets involved with their resources and coordinating massive land, sea, and air searches and the FBI is involved too but they can’t find this little girl. Not until one of the searchers finds a shallow grave behind the Anthony home and when they dig it up they find Caylee’s body and from there we get to the trial and everything getting even nuttier and brain cell killing levels of weird to me. After Casey gets acquitted she kind of disappears from the public eye for a while. Well, until she somehow hooks up with OJ Simpson - which I could not find any info on how they met - and they start talking with one of the cable channels about a reality show starring the two of them talking about life after being acquitted for murder.

That hasn’t gone anywhere so now, according to Newsweek anyway, she’s working on a movie titled “As I Was Told” which she promises will have ‘both legal and erotic content’ which...okay then. There were civil suits filed against her one by the alleged nanny because of all the hell this entire thing made of her life. And the other by the organization in an attempt to recoup some of the money spent on the search when she knew her daughter wasn’t missing.

I’m pretty sure I put a lot more information into my paper than the professor was looking for but he didn’t give us a maximum page number for the assignment. And I just couldn’t see leaving any of it out.

I might not have gotten the internship last semester, but I've got it this time! I'm really excited, there's so much I'm going to be able to learn actually working at the newspaper than I've been learning at classes. More hands on. I'm not sure how that's going to affect my schedule yet, I'll have to wait until my first day, so I can report that back to the job that actually pays me. Still, the bakery is willing to work around whatever schedule they give me.

I like this gift a lot more than the last one from the Dreams - I woke up to my grandfather’s geography book laying on my nightstand. It was the book that kicked off the desire to see the ocean that Eren and I have in the Dreams. I’ve spent most of the day looking through it and it’s weird how similar and different all at once the geography of our world is from the world I dream about.
