I love all the holiday specials that come out this time of year. I wonder if ten, twenty, thirty...fifty years from now, kids will be watching Dexter Butterfingers' Holiday High-Jinx alongside Charlie Brown. Wouldn't that be something?

So I don't know if I actually had a dream last night or if I just had a regular one. I don't really remember it. I mean, I feel like there was something important about it. Something that I was looking for then I think I met someone, but at the end I just woke up in a random bedroom with one hell of a headache and some bruises then I woke up in my bedroom. Has anyone had dreams like this? I know that The Dreams usually feel real, but I can't even figure out what this felt like. I'm just so confused right now.

The voices in my head tell me it's time for Ice Cream. Or a blight, but I'm hoping for Ice Cream.

I've never been so happy to have a mouth. It's strange though cause after not having one for a few days it's almost strange to have one again. It makes no sense. So, I missed taking my nieces out trick or treating with my brother-in-law since I was in the hospital with an IV, so I'm gonna make it up to them tomorrow and take them over to Baxter's to get a cupcake. I'm also going to go visit my sister. I haven't actually been to see her in a few weeks. Maybe the doctors will tell me something different tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Halloween! I did not go out as planned. You know that whole not talking thing. Which is super depressing. I'd even picked up a costume to go to work in. But oh well.

Here's hoping I get my voice back soon. I miss talking.

I'm very happy to be dating a doctor because she has made sure that I am still alive even though I frightened her when she woke up and saw that I had no mouth. Which I have to admit is still one of the strangest sensations of my life. It's just such a useful body part and now I look like a freak without one. Hopefully this will be over soon.

The only downside is the time I'm spending in the hospital. I told work I had the flu and they seem to be okay with me not coming in. But this has also given me a lot of time to sleep and of course those dreams found me.

So, let's see.... I said goodbye to Rose and the Doctor as they went off on another round of trips. Then I alerted the Doctor to activity in this school in town so he and Rose came back to investigate. That was a lot of fun because I met Sarah Jane Smith the drama between she and Rose and this tin dog called K9 (who is basically my alter ego) and I ended up joining Rose and the Doctor on the TARDIS. I will say that it's never a dull moment with the two of them. I dreamt about Clockwork Droids and the the Cybermen.... Being in an alternate universe with a twin version of yourself is something quite interesting. It was also a bit painful because my grandmother was alive in this universe and I decided to stick around after my twin died. I'm not sure how it'll play out, but it seems almost lonely.

Okay, so Qui-gon says I'm the 'chosen one'. So that along with the fact that mother claimed I had no father, I'm calling it now: I'm space Jesus. It totally makes sense.

Oh, and Obi-wan and the Jedi Council think I'm dangerous. Technically I'm a nine year old boy but I've still managed to spook a bunch of Jedi. I won't lie, I'm very happy for the kid, managing that.

I don't understand extreme couponing. It's been on most of the day and I've gotten sucked in. I just don't understand how it's possible to go from a total of over six hundred to a total of fifty cents. It boggles my mind.

Well, I managed not to break anymore doors with my temporary super-strength, and everything is back to normal now. As normal as it gets, anyway.

My new cat? Surprisingly unperturbed by the whole affair.

I watch Dancing With The Stars and I wish I could dance like that, but I'd probably break something if I tried.

I've been told that I need friends. Because I only have two.

So hello. I'm Lydia. I like clothes. And this is pointless and ridiculous.

Oh my god. Has anyone else seen the Pistachio commercial with the prancercise woman? I'm pretty sure that woman is gonna give me nightmares. That can't be her real hair.

So, I think I finally had one of those dreams everyone is talking about. Well, more than one. Like in real life, my mother died when I was a teenager and it was just me and my sister, but then, instead of going to culinary school, I got a job with the CIA. Yes, The Central Intelligence Agency. I was an analyst, which seemed pretty easy. I pretty much read blogs for a living. Then I met another agent there named Rex Matheson. He was pretty cool. Then I woke up. I'm really not surprised that dream!me would have a better life than real me.

I will be out of town for a bit, I have Dragon*Con tickets! And I finally finished my cosplay. I'm excited - it took a lot of work! But yeah. Unless there's an emergency, I'll be back in a couple of days.

Here it is, if you want to see. Worksafe )

Now that I have my body back, I need to set up a doctor's appointment ASAP. I have no idea what the guy who had my body did with it other than the itching on my thigh, which he claims he has no idea how that happened. I can not even begin to describe how gross I feel and I've already taken two showers today.

Dear Nice Lady Who Has My Body:

I'd invest in some cortizone for the itching on your upper thigh. Just ... friendly precaution.

Hello, Valarnet. My name is Jen Walters, and I'm a legal assistant at Dresden Law and Private Investigations. I recently moved to Orange County in pursuit of a lead job opportunity that I just couldn't pass up. Getting out of Minnesota before the snow flies was just the icing on the cake.

Typing one handed is not easy. I was making dinner tonight and for whatever reason I went to pick up a pot off the stove to drain it and forgot a pot holder. I wound up burning my fingers. They're not that bad, but they hurt like hell. How is it that I can work in a restaurant and not hurt myself, but I cook at home and burn myself?

Well, that was quick. I thought I was done with dreams for a bit, but ended up having more. They were very short dreams, which was nice. However, I was literally stabbed in the back by someone and left neutralized until Damon and Elijah decided to undagger the rest of my brothers and myself. And then my supposedly dead mother walked into the room to surprise us. This is such a bad soap opera.

In other, happier, news - Natalia took her first steps yesterday. She was very wobbly, but she managed to make it a little bit before falling on her butt. Quite adorable and yes, I managed to get a video of it because she tried it a couple more times. I also managed to yell really loudly and get Stefan downstairs to witness. Now it's time to make sure everything is out of her reach.

Normally I really like my job. Cooking is just one of those things that helps me forget about everything else going on. However, then there are days like today where you have that one customer who has a complaint about everything about their meal and it makes me start to doubt myself. I know that it's them and not me, but it makes it difficult to continue doing my job well after that.

So I managed to get a little part-time job doing tech-support in an internet cafe. This is all good.

The bad is that the new delivery guy keeps trying to hit on me. His name's Mustafa, I've dealt with him 3 times and he's nice and all, but this last time he decided he wanted to take me on a holiday to see his family for Christmas in Somalia! I mean, wtf? Literally, we have not been in each other's company for anywhere close to an hour and all of a sudden this?! And it's that awkward flirting where I can't quite understand him properly because his accent's so thick that I just nod and say yes to a fair amount of what he's saying. Talk about a fast mover!

I am honestly not sure if any of you will care, but I just got invited to Gastronomika Conference, in San Sebastian, Spain. It's supposed to be for the best chefs around the world, but oftentimes up-and-coming chefs are invited to be guests. If I'm a guest, I will enjoy myself immensely. If I'm presenting, I may explode.

JULY 13TH! GALA AT BAXTER BAKERY!

With all the aliens and zombies and crazy things that have happened lately, it nearly slipped my mind that there's going to be a huge party at Baxter Bakery this Saturday. All of Valarnet is invited! Please come and see the local artwork on the walls, listen to our local musicians perform, and enjoy Baxter Bakery sweets and drinks. It's fully catered by the Bakery, and free of charge.

Hopefully after such trying, dangerous and frightening times, we can all let loose a little, celebrate life, and enjoy one another's company.

This is getting quite ridiculous.

First I dream I'm a lizard woman, then the world starts going insane.

If anyone needs me, I shall be in my house. The number to hire me to investigate remains the same.

So, I was told that I should get out there and start making friends, considering I've been out here for three years and spend most of my free time helping my brother-in-law with my nieces. I was told that this is the easiest place to try and make friends, so I thought I'd give it a chance.

I'm Esther Drummond and like I said, I've been out here for about three years now. I'm originally from Virginia. I work at the Coliseum restaurant and also like to bake in my free time. I know, sounds kind of boring, but that's me, kind of boring. Wow, I bet that makes everyone want to jump at the chance to be my friend, huh?
