Chalk this up to things I never knew about before the dreams: Your shadow can come unattached from you. I currently have a shadow following me around my apartment and thankfully he cannot leave the apartment. In the dreams the way to rejoin us was to sew it back, but I'm not sure I want to attempt here.

Am I the only one that gets incredibly weird things like this happening to them?

In exciting non dream news: I got a whole bunch of new syrups at the coffee shop, so come stop by. The special of the week is a Boo Berry Latte with marshmallow and blueberry syrups.

[Private to Wendy]
Want to come help me with the shadow? I also got something else you will be incredibly interested in.

I've never felt quite so piratical as standing on the deck of my ship under a blood red moon.

No rum, because I don't like the taste of it, but I did have a glass of very nice scotch.

No comment as to whether or not sea shanties were sung.

Recently, some ridiculous people decided it would be a good idea to attach a camera to a toy boat and see if they could make a crocodile go after it.

So I present to you the last thing my poor hand ever saw.

Okay, these dreams have just officially ruined a childhood favourite for me.

Urgh. I hate jungles. I hate camping. I hate coconuts.

Screw it, I hate Neverland.

I had the most peculiar dreams last night. I dreamt that children basically come from birds. We can still fly as long as we believe we can and I left my house and flew to a particular garden in England. It takes a while for tiny baby me to realize that I'm not a bird, but I can understand the birds and the fairies that I meet. It's all so very strange and makes absolutely no sense.

And the strangest part was when I woke up there was a large amount of birds on my balcony.

Let's not talk about how I was floating above my bed. Flying is not possible.

One of the paralegals at the office threatened to secretly sign me up for one of those ridiculous dating sites if I didn't make more of an effort to meet new people.

So this is me, saving her life making an effort. Do people actually make friends on this network?

How much does a polar bear weigh?

Enough to break the ice.

Hi, I'm Peter.

A customer at the coffee shop suggested that I should look into this network. Not really completely sure what I'm supposed to say on here. I do enjoy long walks on the beach and misspelling people's names on their to-go cups. If I'm not at the coffee shop working I'm usually off by the beach playing guitar for money and phone numbers, the latter is usually unintentional.

Oh! I also attend UC Irvine and currently undeclared. Suggestions on a good major are welcome.

So I decided to put up some money and take an honest to god surfing lesson so the next time I'm out on the water I don't accidentally drown myself. Lesson was supposed to be this morning. However, no sooner do we get in wetsuits and out to the beach when dark as shit clouds roll in like a typhoon's headed our way. The instructor decided to err on the side of caution and cancelled class.

What gives? There was no forecast for storms today, was there? I mean, this is sunny California. What the fuck happened to the sun?!

Apparently I started my second set of dreams! There are many similarities, except in this go at it my father is...well, he's not exactly the best. My brothers and I seem to be a bit terrified of him, so I've taken it upon myself to sort of protect them from his anger. I've also got an Aunt Milicent and I haven't got one that I know of otherwise, which is interesting. I'd really rather dream about my daughter, since she was quite lovely and now I sort of want one for myself.

Is it sad that I've already got tickets for the World Tea Expo in Las Vegas this time next year? I'm rather excited though will have to pass the time with SoCal Brew Fest on the 20th of this month. I'm not really one for beer but all of my favourite food trucks will be there which is reason enough to attend.

So this is America. I've heard many things. Some good and some bad. Tell me what should I do while I am here. Something that is not to be missed. And also what I should avoid. Tell me anything. It is going to take some getting used to living here I think.

Mother's Day was quite a bit harder on me than it was on either of the children. The blessing in disguise is that they're both so young they haven't quite sorted out what it means that their mother is gone. Daisy has asked a few times about it, and I can tell that often she feels sad, like something is missing. It may get harder when she's in Kindergarten next year, and talks to the other children about their mothers.

In happier news, David's first birthday is one week from today. I'll be hosting a get-together to celebrate at my home on Sunday the 17th. Daisy is helping me make decorations for the party.

I've spent most of my day going over a collection of sketches and research from my dreams. It truly is remarkable, and I'm almost beginning to think it's entirely feasible, given today's scientific advances. Yet surely someone would have long since discovered the art of reanimation were it possible.

Actually, I find myself more interested in the sketches peppered throughout the pages. I used to draw now and then in my childhood, and occasionally now I do the odd medical diagram, but I think I'd like to find a knack for it. I suppose I could always just start drawing as I please. There's another month or so before my residence starts, I think an art class might fill the time decently. It will certainly distract me from this dream business. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to go?

In these new dreams, I seem to have married Smee at some point. I'm really very unsure how to feel about that.

Also I swear, since I've started dreaming, ticking clocks are causing my eye to twitch more and more. It can't be possible that clocks have gotten louder, which means I must be noticing them more. Hardly very pleasant.

Ways to Get Bloodstains Out of Sheets:

1. Hydrogen peroxide + lemon juice
2. Crushed aspirin paste!
3. Meat tenderiser, but only the unseasoned kind
4. Spit
5. Other methods?

I'm really hoping my dreams sod off for a bit. Peter Pan's supposed to be this diabolical genius and he couldn't figure out how a door worked, apparently there aren't any in Neverland?

Life has been... strange, lately. Between new dreams and other, real world complications, I feel very muddled. There is, however, at least one fantastic thing that has happened lately, and that is the appearance of my ship. Oh don't get me wrong, I adore my little sail boat. But she isn't the Jolly Roger, is she?

I had thought my dreams were at an end. I mean, my own death feels like a pretty solid ending, one would think?

But they've started again. I don't know quite how it happened, only that I managed to not only escape the crocodile that was attempting to swallow me whole, but I killed it, stuffed it, and used it as a clock. For irony's sake, I suppose.

Pan never came after me again. In fact, he started spending longer and longer stretches of time away from Neverland. As it turns out, he'd found a reason to stay in London. He'd found a wife.

Peter Pan, grown up. Who would have thought it.

Why would someone steal Captain Hook's Head? That's really sad! And disturbing. I guess someone's going to put it up in their dorm room, or whatever?

...don't they have cameras running on those rides? I guess whoever did it was either really, really good, or...? Or maybe they'll catch them? Or something else!

I think I'd rather have Peter Pan's head than Captain Hook's. If I was taking it to keep it. If I was simply taking it to deface the ride, then I suppose Hook is the way to go.

I never thought I'd do this, but curiosity got the better of me. So here I sit, watching the NBC concert of Peter Pan.

The biggest problem I have with it, surprisingly, is the group of twenty year olds they got to play the Lost Boys. Everyone knows that when a Lost Boy shows signs of growing up, Peter takes them out to the woods and kills them. None of them would have reached twenty.

Christopher Walken's performance is slightly wooden, but I have to say they captured the homoeroticism inherent in living in an all male testosterone filled environment such as a pirate ship.

I do miss having a crew of swarthy men to carry me around on a golden throne. I wonder if I could bribe an intern.

Daisy is becoming more and more proficient with the use of her Duplo sets. I came in her bedroom to find that she'd built an entire castle out of the blocks, and was using the tiny figures to have a pretend feast. Of course, without little, Duplo food, they were simply eating the giraffe. It was laying out on the table with all of the Duplo people around it.

Seems to me that would be a very strange Thanksgiving.

Dreams continue to be both fascinating and terrible. Apparently I am truly an awful man, and when I saw Pan flying in with a new group of children -- children, honestly -- I fired cannons at them. I think I may have shot one of them down, dear god.

Then Pan and I got into a proper duel, and not only can the devil child fly, he can apparently throw his voice and do a damned good impression of me. He called me a codfish, of all things. I did take him down long enough to make my escape, but I don't think that's a thing to be proud of.

In better news, I suppose, I appear to be a proper pirate, now.



So that's Halloween sorted for me, then, isn't it?

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.

I dreamed I had two hands again, it was very exciting.

Beyond that, the dream was a little strange. It was about my youth -- but not as I remember it, not exactly. Everything looked distinctly Victorian, though I still attended Eton and Oxford and became a lawyer.

But after that, and I'm not quite certain how I managed it, but I discovered a place called Neverland. And there, wonder of wonders, I joined up with a pirate crew. Blackbeard's crew, no less.

It seems I am a pirate, after all. At least in some other dream world.

Yes yes, I know, an absolute crime against humanity, but I have no children, and previously had no friends with children, and so I never found a reason to.

I'm still on the fence as to how I feel about children as a species, but I did have an amusing conversation while at the docks today.

I was tying up my boat after going out for an afternoon sail, and was approached by a little girl. She introduced herself (Molly, I think), and I introduced myself as James Hook. She asked me what I was, and I told her I was a lawyer.

After inspecting me and my boat with a shrewd eye, she replied that no, I was clearly a pirate.

I tried explaining that lawyers aren't really all that bad, but she was insistent. "Your name is Hook," she explained, in that very logical way that children have, "You're missing a hand, and your boat is called The Jolly Roger. You have to be a pirate."

So I winked and told her not to tell anyone, and she ran off quite happy that she'd met a real live pirate.

So there we are, then. James Matthew Hook, esquire. A pirate.

According to a few of my colleagues, this is quite the place to be and to meet people. And so, ever the social butterfly, here I am.

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is James Hook, but those of you I consider friends are free to call me Jas.

I'm a lawyer here in sunny California, though I originally hail from the rather less than sunny London area.

Pleased to meet all of you, I'm quite sure.
