I'm not sure why people think we would have a post-Valentine's Day sale going on. We sell sex toys, not chocolates and flowers. There is no 50% off sale, nor will there be.

I've sent away many many disappointed people in the past two days.

If I never see another Valentine or glitter ever again, it will be too soon. Despite the cleaning I did before I left yesterday and the janitorial staff cleaning - there is still glitter from the children’s Valentine party all over my classroom. The kids had fun though and that’s the important thing right?

Valentines Day is only three weeks away!!! We're having sales galore at Frisky Business in honour of this celebration of love. I highly recommend the edible body glitter and/or edible body paint. Lots of fun.

Getting the flu is not exactly what I was hoping for when my classes started up again. My bedside table looks like a small pharmacy. Thanks flu shot. You really did your job.

At least Hulu has all of Project Runway to entertain me in between bouts of medicated unconsciousness.

Someone has made inappropriate show statues in front of our store. I'm not saying I know who it is, but I do have a strong suspicion.

Not that phallic snow sculptures are entirely inappropriate for our place of work, really.

Some dickhead at the liquor store told me Trump is going to send me home. Here I thought I was blending in pretty well. Screw this noise. Why does Canada get an angel who looks like he stepped out of GQ and we get some dipshit who looks like he rolled in the stuff at the bottom of a bag of Doritos?

Times are so frightening right now, and we all deal with it in different ways. At some point I will take a more active role in things, but for now I am trying to keep myself together.

One of the ways I take care of my emotional well being is through art and creative outlets, and so I went a bit mad setting up a little house for mine and Hannah's new rock son, Pierrick.

Is anyone else completely ridiculously excited about the upcoming meteor showers? There's supposed to be one every month for the rest of the year!

I want to go out sometime with a blanket and my notebook, perhaps some wine and see if I can get inspired.

I wonder if they photograph well, the meteor showers?

Given that it's now the eleventh, back home, I feel like I can make this announcement now.

In honor of Nation Coming Out Day, I have decided to open up a shelter for LGBTQ youth who have been kicked out of their homes. For the past few weeks, I have been working with my mother, who will personally run the establishment, to locate a building and make sure that it is all set up for its opening, today.

That being said, I will be out of town for a week as I will be checking it out, and to spend time with some of the kids that will be living there.

Hopefully, now, that it is up and running, things will calm down.

My dear friend Grantaire theorizes that I have fairies living in my hair who sprinkle glitter on me whenever I forget to put some on that day.

Considering there are days when I have glitter that I don't remember putting on, he may not be too wrong!

Though glitter is one of those things that never fully goes away.

It would have been nice if my father could have actually made time to see me while I was in Japan for the summer after making such a big deal out of wanting me to visit. Or been honest with Maman and I and told me it was really the staff at his house that wanted me to come visit so they could see "what a fine young man I'm growing into" and ask how she was doing. Peut-etre un jour je saurai d'attendre jusqu'a ce qu'il veuille vraiment de passer les temps avec moi aux visites

My cousin mentioned this network to me while I was in Japan and suggested that I join it to try to meet some people away from school. My name is Rene Tamaki Richard de Grantaine Suoh Tamaki Suoh.

[R]

Maman won't give me an honest answer I know because she doesn't want to worry me so I'll ask you - how was her health this summer?

Also - it's very difficult to get used to not using my full name here but I'm trying cousin.

Hello, beautiful America. I've learned that this, apparently, is the place to go for all newcomers to the area. I am very new. My name is Hernando, I've just moved here because apparently I'm going to be a writer. If you must know a bit about me, I like cardigans, and very sincerely love to walk on the beach, and I will never say no to champagne.

Now, you must tell me, where are the best theaters, the best art galleries, the best bookstores, and the best restaurants?

I clearly should not be allowed writhing a five hundred foot radius of an animal shelter. I went to go donate some food and toys for the animals. I kept telling myself that I would not bring home another pet.

Everyone meet Skimbleshanks.

He's extremely lazy, loves to eat, and has taken a liking to R for some reason.

Jerrie and Teazer are not pleased right now.

I dreamed some nights ago that I volunteered for duties for Enjolras, to convince men at the Barriere du Maine to join our cause. He had no others who could go and he disdained my abilities, because he hates me, and I want to convince him otherwise. I want to show him that I am good enough to have his attention, even though I know that I am not. To show that I am a patriot I went to my rooms and changed my waistcoat to one that is red, the color of passion. And the color of the blood that will be spilled by his revolution, as it always is. My dedication has convinced him, though I know that I will still find a way to disappoint him. I am a disappointment, it is what I do. I have apparently not accepted that fact in my dreams. Perhaps I am more hopeful than I thought.

But, I woke up and was wearing that red waistcoat. It is very nice, but it is not the kind of thing that I know how to wear. I do not think that it suits me in this life, it does not fit in my wardrobe very well. What does one do with a waistcoat?

I've realized that when you get used to living without a roommate, you tend to forget that you actually have one when you finally get one. I learned this by my new roommate walking in on me dancing like a weirdo in the kitchen while cleaning. Thankfully R is a pretty relaxed guy and there were no looks like I was absolutely insane

I cannot tell if I have a hangover from the dream I had last night, or if I just have a hangover. I suppose it does not matter which. I do not remember the dream very much, I was very very drunk, this is no surprise. I think that I talked too much. This is also no surprise. I woke up with some absinthe in my bed, I am not sure how it got there, I assume that myself who was drunk bought it for me. He is a very kind me. I appreciate him.

I do not appreciate hungover me for leaving it at home, or for not buying coffee before I came to work. The hungover me is very stupid.

So first I have to dream about having an embarrassing crush on a boy and now I'm dreaming about taking a compatibility test that's told me that we're not even on the same page. I think I could have told myself that, but apparently in the dreams, I'm not all that bright about these things. My first hint should have been that he had a girlfriend.

I hope you all are having lovely days and perhaps this will inspire you in some way!

void,

felt myself a pure part

Mom and Dad have been loving their first trip out to the West Coast. Mom has been out to the beach almost every day and Dad even enjoyed the visit to Disneyland. Seeing them really hit home how much I missed them and I'm kind of sad that they're leaving on Saturday.

I've also been continuing the hunt for a new roommate. There have been a few that seemed somewhat decent and some that were...a bit kooky. But I'm holding out hope that I find a good fit soon.

Hi everyone, I'm R and I'm drunk. English is too hard, it makes no sense and is a stupid language. And people bitch about the subjunctive and irregular verbs. You fuckers know nothing, good fucking god. All of your verbs are irregular and they make no sense. This is what you get from stealing from the Germans.

This has just been bothering me and I've lost the sense not to babble about myself. Last night I dreamed I was in Paris. Only it was different, in the past or something. But I was pretty much the same, just wearing a tie and taking even fewer showers than I do now. But I met some people through my friends Joly and Bossuet, a student group with a stupid shitty pun for a name. I like a good pun and all but seriously.

They're fun. I like them. They've become my friends. Most of them have, anyway, but their leader Enjolras, he hates me. And you guys don't understand, he's so pretty. Top three most beautiful people I've ever seen. Legs that don't end and an ass that don't quit and a voice like the angels breathing wrath upon the sinful. And holy fuck am I a sinner. I will gladly prostrate myself before him in hopes of getting a single burning touch, a lick of flame to tell me to turn away, that I am not worthy. And I'm not. I don't deserve to look at him.

I've never been good at acknowledging what I do and don't deserve, though. All I do is annoy him but a few moments of disdain are worth all the pleasure that I've ever known otherwise. I'm a little disgusted with myself. What else is new.

Oh dear, now we're stepping into the oversharing part of the drunkenness. I'll take my leave. If no one hears from me in two days the hangover finally killed me and you're all free of me. Congratulations.

Some of my new friends at the Anaheim Ballet took me out last night after rehearsal. I had to do a tequila shot with training wheels as my initiation. Not the worst initiation in the world, I have to say. I didn't drink too much, so I'm fine today. Everyone there is super fun with the exception of maybe three people who have been professional, but not very welcoming. I'm sure it's just because I'm new.

It is made from a bottle of vodka. There are bottles of vodka that are skull shaped. I will find one tomorrow so that I can make a light of it. I do not know anything about electronics but it could not be that hard, this man made one!

Hello new friends! My friend and coworker Grantaire (though he may go by R around here?) told me I should come on here to meet people, and that it might be a good platform to share my poetry as well!

My name is Jean, but I tend to go by Jehan. Which you say like an exaggerated form of Jean (jay-ehn), but if that's too tricky for you too say then just Jean is fine!

I'm working on my MFA in Creative Writing and I hope to some day be a poet. I mean I am a poet, in that I write poetry, but a real published poet that you can find in bookstores!

I think that's about it, really. Other than I very much want one of each of these candles that I've been lusting after on etsy, haha.

So my parents have allowed me to host a party tomorrow, for all my friends here on the network! Anyone who'd like to come can come, so long as you wear your party best!

It will be at [address], tomorrow night starting at 7pm. Food and drinks provided.

Even General LaMarque is dressing up, though I haven't decided which outfit to put him in, yet. What do you all think?

Being told that I need more 'pep' and energy at 5:30 in the morning by someone who thinks they're 'better' than me because of a job? Those are the type of comments that are asking for trouble.

After making crowns for myself and Courfeyrac, I decided they were far too pretty not to make a few more! Though instead of crowns and tiaras like I did for me, I decided to make them a little more simple, for those of you who don't want a full head of flowers.

I'm really very pleased with how they all turned out. And such fun to make! I wear my tiara to class all the time!

I ended up making four, so first come first serve. Who would like a flower headband :)?

I had left some napkins on the counter earlier tonight after dinner when I went to watch some TV. I just came back into the kitchen before going to bed and found that Chairman Meow has torn them to shreds. He doesn't usually scratch at paper and things like that, because he has one of those obnoxiously big scratching posts/cat condos. I have a feeling he may have been trying to get my attention.

I've joined the ranks, I suppose.

The first dream was lovely, and so full of hope. And I knew these would be coming after but I didn't quite want to believe it.

But now they have and it wasn't lovely at all. So full of pain, and blood, and death.

I know there's more to come later because my friends all survived in my dream. It ended with us sitting there, waiting out the night. Trying to see what will come with the morning.

If it gets worse, I don't know that I can bear it.

I would love to show her how many people care about her and want to wish her a happy birthday.

The Fullerton Library have allowed me use of their events hall to host the party, please let me know if you can come along.

It's spring time, which means things are in bloom at my grandparents' farm! That's where we get a lot of our fruits and vegetables, at my parents' grocery store.

We also get our eggs and goat cheese from them, which means my grandparents have goats, which means now that spring is here -- baby goats!

We just got pictures of the newest babies, which I think I should share with everyone and maybe brighten the days of a person or two :)
