Know what's worse than being the sudden focus of an obviously bullshit tabloid story? Having said tabloid story brought to your attention by your own students.

Fortunately said students have enough brains in their skulls to know a bullshit story when they read one. Not that that stopped them from spending nearly the entirety of the class laughing and coming up with some (admittedly clever) barbs in my direction.

I'm just hoping the department head has as many brains, not to mention the university board...

...though, all that being said, I choose to take the compliment about my ass for what it is.

When will people learn to mind their own business? I was out today and walked by one of the Salvation Army buckets. Personally, I refuse to donate money because of their beliefs when it comes to LGBT people so I walked right past this person. But then some guy who had been talking to the volunteer called to me asking why I couldn't spare some change to donate; as if I was the only person who walked by at that moment. I managed to bite my tongue and told him that I just didn't have any spare change cause there were a couple kids around otherwise I probably would have told him to mind his own fucking business and that I didn't donate money to homophobes.

I'm always tempted to go shopping on Black Friday, but then I remember that I really don't want to deal with all of that hassle and it's much easier to shop on-line. I mean, are the deals at the stores really that much better?

I finally found out what happened with the Liberty Ride, in my dreams. I wasn't able to go, because the director who wanted to make Rage into a movie wanted me to meet the studio execs and the meeting was the same day as the ride. So I went out to Hollywood and basically told the execs why they couldn't make Rage straight and all that. I even told them how great anal sex is. No one can ever accuse me of being shy.

Brian did end up going on the ride and the idiot ended up breaking his collarbone. I got home in enough time to see him cross the finish line though. He was one of the last people to do so. Melanie also went into labor while I was gone. And of course Brian asked me to move in again right when the movie got green lit and they want me out there overseeing it.

Looks like dream!me has a decision to make.

I just gotta say, if you're stupid enough to steal eggs from a velociraptor, you definitely deserve to die.

This post brought to you by the fact TNT is currently showing Jurassic Park III. Yes, the velociraptors are inaccurate, but you still don't go up against them like that.

So many people joining the community lately.

Hi newbies! I’m Thalia. Don’t pay any attention to what they say about me in the tabloids. Not only are they wrong, they’re also boring. This is like the fifth home wrecker story they've written about me in the last two years or so.

So today is National Coming Out Day. The first person that I ever told I was gay was my friend Daphne when we were fifteen. I told my parents not long after that and unlike in my dreams, they were both incredibly supportive of me. I had been scared that they wouldn't be, but I'm lucky enough to have a great family and great friends who always accepted and supported me. I know that not everyone is as lucky to have that sort of support system, and if any of those people are here and ever want to or need to talk, I'm a pretty good listener.

Okay. I take it back. My Dreams did figure out a way to make things even more awkward for my real life. Apparently DreamJess decided it was a good idea to move in with her boyfriend. Of a year. That she'd only met when they got set up on a blind date.

It feels nice to be finally working again. Even if I am still getting a bit of side-eye. I was a little worried that it might be a little difficult to get back into things after so long, but I feel like I've never left.

Apparently I've decided that I know what is best for Hal and I told him we can only meet for our readings at night. What I wouldn't give to dream about the dragons and war again instead of this mess of a soap opera I've fallen into. First I tell him that we can only meet at night for lessons and then I just extend the hours so that we might have to sneak around my brother's house to get food, which of course gets us trapped in the pantry. Why wouldn't it? Then he kissed me and I ran away and locked myself in my room. Truly. I have to question my habits. I am apparently hideous at dealing with things.

Adamo would most certainly give me a look for my ridiculous behavior...and he would be right to. Then again, it isn't like he doesn't have his own problems with his Dragon Corps. They have to get lessons on how not to anger the politicians/wealthy people by propositioning their wives and then paying them as if they were prostitutes.

At least here most of my drama is during whatever movie I'm filming. Ignoring Erik and the paparazzi sneaking around and being annoying

I have no idea what makes this week any different than any other, but I have stumbled across far too many people attempting to have sex in the museum.

Of all the things I expected to have to deal with, this was not a recurring trend I anticipated.

Thank god my boyfriend can blow things up with magic. Unlike some people here, I have no special abilities nor do I use any weapons, so the fact that Royston has magic probably saved our lives this weekend when his house got swarmed by a group of zombies.

Closest I've come to really killing anything was when the gremlins invaded. Ended up using some paint thinner to set a few on fire. And that is why I'm never getting my security deposit back, if I ever move out of my apartment.

My sister mentioned this network to me. Allegedly it’s a good place for recommendations in the area, but it just seems like a lot of dream sharing to me. Who cares this much about their dreams?

I am not looking for recommendations as much as opinions. How do you feel about art? Do you have a favorite artist or style? Do any of you create your own pieces?

In a few weeks there's gonna be an art show in the park. I've been invited to participate so I have to figure out what pieces I'm going to include and do some new ones. Sometimes this is the frustrating part, but other times the creativity just flows. Only time will tell which one it is this time.

One of my pet peeves in the office is when there are donuts and instead of people taking a whole one, they either take half or pieces, leaving almost no whole donuts when certain people get a chance to get away from their work to get one. Anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

One of my professors managed to not only forget the test papers for the exam we had today, but forgot that we had a test entirely and had to desperation write a new test on the board from memory. Promised us extra credit points to not mention it in his evaluations, so I'm not arguing in the slightest. Just in case you think that you fucked up today.

To his credit, I was a little distracted with everything happening today too, so I'm glad for the EC.

I have managed to avoid accidentally exploding something today. I'm not sure if that's an accomplishment, but I'm choosing to believe it is. Now I just have to work toward only exploding things when I mean to explode them. Hopefully I don't need to mean to explode them, however. But I guess this place is the sort of place to do it.

It seems that my brother's wife is as delightful in my dreams as she is outside of them. Which is to say not at all. Of course, ruining the table by cracking it in half was perhaps not the right way to handle the situation, but my emotions got the better of me. Luckily, my brother was understanding and I offered to buy him a new table.

It was nice to have some dreams that weren't too awful or dramatic for a change. Most dramatic thing going on right now is that the Gay & Lesbian Center is having a bike ride from Pittsburgh to Toronto and back to raise money for the local hospice, but the sponsor we had took off with the money we'd raised so now we have to start all over again. Brian now also wants to participate despite the fact that his doctor has barely given him a clean bill of health. Brian is too stubborn to give up though.

Everyone's alright, I hope? After that pretty interesting...interlude, from last week?

It's amazing that, in the OC, with the arrival of spring comes the desire to vacation far away from here. I'll take honeymoon suggestions, if anyone has them.

Because people who get married sometimes go on honeymoons. As of now, it's still sinking in that someone actually wants to marry me and go on a honeymoon, but I'll get there. I'm also not great at proposing, somehow the restaurant managed to catch fire that night, so I'm kind of glad I'll have to in theory do it only once.

I have to say that spring break has been most welcome and I've been able to relax so much. I'm a little disappointed that I have to go back to school tomorrow :( But the end of the school year is coming up fast.

I did get some good news over break that I landed an internship at the Orange County Museum of Art! I'm so exited to get to help out there and take another step closer to finishing up with school.

If the weather could get nice again so I can go surfing, that'd be great. I feel like I haven't gone surfing in months, but I think it was just after New Year's. After the snow melted.

Also, am I crazy for wanting more dreams? I'm pretty sure I am, but with the way my last dreams ended, I kind of need to know what happens and I haven't had any for a few months.

I'm so glad the weather is finally nice again. It was so much fun to go out and ride Maximus today! Even Pascal came along for a ride even though I think he tries to act like he dislikes Maximus. It was a really good distraction from actual school work.

I think I'm going to head over to the Orange County Museum of Art on Friday for their Pop Art Design exhibit. It's free on Fridays and it looks like a really neat exhibit.

Ah. I forgot how it felt for gossip rags to have nothing more interesting to talk about than my love life. I also forgot how delightful it was to have my agent speak to me so tersely about poor life choices, but I can't be expected to stay cooped up inside all day Ah well. I suppose it really was only a matter of time. I believe my shame meter is broken, however, so I'm not all that concerned about it.

So I think I’ve finally gotten over the most awkward way ever for my parents to find out I’ve gotten really serious with the guy I’m dating. They heard him in the kitchen making breakfast for us when they called to wish me a late happy birthday, and wanted to know why he was there so early and sounding so happy. I don’t think they liked hearing he was there so early because he’d spent the night. Which was also probably why he sounded so happy but I didn’t tell them that part. I think they might be willing to actually talk to me instead of shouting in about another week.

Well, at least I have learned the importance of not allowing myself to waste away in a fit of self-loathing and depression. Still, this boy my brother has taken in is visiting me to read to me and make sure that I am eating, which is trying. Even worse is how absolutely alien I look in my clothes. I think I somehow got tricked into agreeing to walks, but I think that was simply because I felt guilty for being accidentally cruel to him while wallowing in my own self-pity.

Apparently my books are a little more illegal than I previously realized. It sounds like me to have illegal books in my possession.

In news that doesn't involve dreams, I might have far too many geodes in my room and a floor full of accidental glitter. I mean, I meant to do stuff with glitter, but I didn't mean for it to fall on the floor and spill everywhere. Sorry, Sam.

Uggggh, Mondays.

I now know that my healing power is useful when you twist your ankle trying to make it to class on time. Wasn't what I wanted to spend my time doing and had to hide in an empty classroom to do it, but at least I feel better now.

The only upside is that Halloween is almost here and I am so into the fall zone right now. I think I might do some creepy art just to keep the mood going. Suggestions? I will happily give you a free painting when I'm done (or whatever art form you want. Part of me wants to try paper mache jack-o-lanterns).

So now I am in the country with the sheep, the suspicious looks, and my brother's wife of all people. It's not difficult to tell she has no interest in being around me. Neither do their servants. The children, however, seem quite certain that I've come bearing gifts. Which I hadn't really, but that is all a part of being distracted by my being exiled to my brother's country home. And the displeasure of being around sheep. Of course, I gave William my pocket watch, which he quickly broke.

I am predicting a slow and painful death by sheep. It seems the only likely thing to happen. That or death from boredom. The only books in the entire house are children's books and none of them are good quality. Who knows if they are complete books.

Please let me never look like my brother when this is over

All things considered, Orange County is a far less painful exile.

I'm not the least bit surprised that yet another something dramatic is happening in my dreams. Brian can be so fucking frustrating when there's something he doesn't want someone to know. I get it, he didn't want us to pity him or treat him differently for being sick, but he was stupid to think that we wouldn't find out somehow. I was pissed at Micheal though for letting it slip that we did know since Brian kicked me out after, but I managed to get back in. Wouldn't let him push me away when he obviously needed our support. Only time will tell the next time he decides to throw me out.

In other news, this is hilarious. It's slightly NWS, but nothing too bad. However, I'm slightly tempted to get it.

The hangover that I'm still feeling today, from Saturday night's indulgences, means that I've come to the realization I need to share some of the wealth from Skyhold's wine cellar. There's enough of a supply to share, anyway. These bottles are all from Thedas - there's honey mead, sipping whiskey, wine from Tevinter that you have to drink with a catsbane powder to counteract the poisoning, black currant brandy, Orlesian liqueur, something made in a bathtub, and a bunch of other stuff but also most notably Dragon's Piss. No one knows what it is. It might be literal.

I've gotten estimates to bring electricity to the fortress, though in the mountains it's tricky - one strong breeze can send the wires down for a few hours. I think the main rooms will have electricity, but most guest rooms will just be candles and wood fires. Hot water for all facilities will definitely be a go though. I guess we can call it 'eco tourism.' There's a throwback to another era, in Morocco, that I've been researching for inspiration. I might take a trip there to stay at the place, just for research purposes and to know that running a hideway without a lot of electricity is possible.

Anyway, this has been your booze-soaked post for Monday morning, enjoy.

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...

The thing about being told to keep a low profile is that it's very difficult to do when your "exile" is in Orange County of all places. Not to mention when the first thing you discover after days of boring solitude where your only company is getting paid to be there is this strange link. I didn't think I was going to look, but I guess I'm bored enough to accept even a very strange method of communication. Boredom does seem to have a habit of inspiring even the most sensible of people into doing things that are probably ill advised. Not that I can claim to be the most sensible considering recent decisions.

My name is Royston. I don't really know what else to put into this introduction. Who even follows my career here? I'm an actor, but that might already be common knowledge. But technically I've been forced into a break. Not one that I'd have chosen. But I suppose that doesn't matter. So what is there to do in the OC when you're ignoring the suggestion to stay indoors in order to keep a low profile that people find interesting?

One thing is for sure, being not only single but newly broken up changes your perspective on movies. It's like I can't watch Moulin Rouge without feeling a little bitter. It's awful. I'd sworn I'd never be that person. I need to get over this asap.

Finding space for your zombie horse with a sword through its head (technically this makes him a bog 'unicorn') is a lot more difficult than one might anticipate.

But if anyone has heard of a place for dream pets? Mounts? Creatures? let me know. He's pretty self-sufficient and easy to take care of. Doesn't even eat much besides the occasional rotten apple I tend to find stashed in the kitchen by a certain someone who has a certain hidden squishy spot for the zombie horse.
