With it being bridal season, I'm busier than ever at work. Should anyone need a part-time or full-time job in retail, please don't hesitate to let me know. I live above my shop, but most days you'd never know it as I seem to be sleeping in my office too often.

If you're a person who's been afflicted with different bits, let me know. I run a clothing store, and have lines for both men and women. I'll have someone run clothes over to you so you don't have to go out.

It appears I'm getting a roommate. Or, well, Porthos is getting a roommate, and it's me. I'll admit that at first I wasn't so sure, but it's really a nice option. It's closer to work, I'll have just as much space (if not a bit more) as I do in my current apartment, and cost of living will certainly go down. Not to mention the fantastic kitchen.

The downside being I'll have to leave behind the little garden I've grown very fond of and work on planting an entirely new one. Needs must, I suppose. I've handed in my one month's notice so the move will be entirely official mid-June. Perhaps we'll have a big housewarming party of sorts.

These dreams are a bit relentless, aren't there? Not that I'm complaining. They are, about 90% of the time, very entertaining. In these ones we had to escort a man to Paris but along the way we were attacked, and Porthos was badly injured by an axe or something like that. Apparently dream-me does not take it lightly when something happens to Porthos.

In any case, we went to this big old house that belonged to Athos (by the way, Athos is a count???). Through a series of events we discovered the man we were escorting was actually a slave trader, and you can guess that went off well, but we're all very quick thinkers so I suspect he won't be a problem later.

Then it was Porthos's birthday and we were all very, very drunk. He shot a melon off my head, it was sort of spectacular. Until he got framed for murder.

Also, I got the kit I used to sew up all of our wounds. It's just this little collection of various needles and the like, and I can't imagine being stitched up with any of them today, but it's sort of fantastic.

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend. I certainly know I did. San Francisco is fantastic (though I am glad to be home, I suppose). I could go into details but it would be a lot and I'd hate to bore you all.

But look, pictures! Or, a picture. I honestly didn't realize I'd taken this and have no memory at all of finding a playground much less swinging, but, there you are. (Okay, there's another picture, because honestly Porthos is just photogenic and I'm not sure he knows I took that second picture oops).

Cut for images, perfectly safe for all to view. )

Look at how handsome he is. Don't you just want to tickle all that scruff? Why yes, Ladies, he's free. But seriously, don't even try to snatch him away from me.


Also! I had more dreams on the weekend. Better ones than the last time around. Apparently I do something called "The Stare" and I was giving it to the Queen. But in my dreams she gave me a rather stunning necklace with a cross pendant on it, and when I woke up Sunday morning it was lying next to the hotel bed. The exact necklace that the Queen of France, Anne of Austria herself, gave me in my dreams. I've never seen anything quite so beautiful.

It's come to my attention that I've been a part of this network for nearly a year now, and I still know so few of you here. I'd very much like to change that.

And so, for anyone who would be interested, I will be hosting a cocktail party for the members of the network. It will likely be held the first week of May, if enough people decide they would like to come.

Please reply if you plan on attending, and note any dietary restrictions, so that I may start planning the menu.

Those who RSVP to this post will receive a formal invitation in the mail, with the exact date and time, and the location of the party.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

I've made the decision to continue my residency at the clinic in Urdnot Ranch. I feel that the people there are desperate to keep a familiar face around, and the supervising doctor we found should be able to teach me everything I'd need to continue a specialization in Family Medicine.

I think, too, that that's what she'd want. Dr. Hussain. She'd want me to continue her work.

It's difficult being a designer who does custom orders. Someone wants me to make their wedding dress, and all their ideas are ... well, a bit hideous. This woman wants to look like a cupcake made of tulle on her special day. Hoop skirts should not be in weddings. I wonder if there's a nice way to say "no, I will not make this because then people will know I made it and my reputation will be ruined". Probably not.

I'm new to all this online community thing. I go by Kyra; I'm a stuntwoman...I'm bad at this kind of thing.

Not sure I like how these dreams can mimic real life so eerily. Some things are better left forgotten or buried away in the back of your memory.

Now I can't stop thinking about if things had been different. Should've done more, in my dreams and in real life. I should have stopped -


[Private to Athos]

I know you know what happened, when I was on the job that went bad. Was there ever -

Did you ever hear anything after? About him. Did they ever find him?

I have had a plan for myself since I was a child. At first, I wanted to become a priest. That plan changed over time; I became disenchanted with the structure of the Church and the misguidedness it occasionally foists upon its followers. However, my faith in God is still strong, and I still want to spend my life serving Him in some way.

My dreams have been so strange, though, by comparison. I dream that I am a Christian amongst Vikings, a favored slave of the village jarl. Recently, I dreamt of being taken to a temple and fed mushrooms, and tempted by a beautiful young woman. I was asked to deny Christ, and I did it - but then they found the cross around my wrist. They were going to sacrifice me, but upon finding my continued faith in another God besides their own, they decided against it.

I'm confused. Am I meant to serve God? Are my dreams a story of a believer finding his faith strengthened in the face of adversity? Or are they a story of a coward? What does it mean that I love a woman, that I've thought about spending eternity with her? Where does it all fit?

I'm starting not to know who I am anymore, and I suppose, well, that frightens me.

I thought when I came home that the dreams would pick up where they left off. I have to admit I was... looking forward to that. I wanted to see more of... everyone. More of him, too, if I'm honest.

But they're starting out from the beginning again, like a marathon of episodes before a new tv season. My mother's death, standing on the bridge and hearing the news that The Calm had come. My father... a high summoner, but I would only ever see his face again as a statue. I felt, and I think I still feel, like I wasn't allowed to be sad. His death brought about ten years of peace, ten years I got to enjoy. To grow up without Sin constantly attacking, to get the time to learn how to summon, myself. He wanted that for me more than anything.

The more I dream the more things I notice about that world. It's... interesting, at least.

I didn't realize Lent had arrived so quickly. In my plan to give up smoking, I discovered today that I still had around two-thirds of a pack left. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away, but I couldn't do with the temptation around, so I spent most of the day chain smoking.

Now I'm sitting outside in my garden, hoping my lungs might forgive me. Might even take a walk.

But! To keep myself on course, every time I think about buying a new pack, I'm going to put that money aside. Then afterwards, I'll either buy myself a carton or go out on the town. Likely both.

Okay, I thought I knew all the rubbish about tipping people in America because you lot are too harebrained to pay people a living wage. I hadn't the faintest idea that you're actually supposed to tip the people who package a takeaway order you pick up yourself. And then I got called a "twat" when I said I hadn't got cash.

I'm fucking Irish, mate; don't take it out on me, take it out on your absurd wage laws.

I've decided my apartment is terribly lonely. Which is generally nice, but I'm a social creature at heart, and even when I'm reading or something, I'd still rather do it in company than on my own. So I've done something brash and exciting and got myself a kitten.

Cut for image, warning: kitten. )

I've named him Bazin. It just came to me, though I'm not sure why, but there you have it. He's blind, so I've got all sorts of jingly toys. He's lively when he wants to play, but mostly he's content to curl up in a lap or on a warm spot on the carpet. And it gives me reason to constantly chatter, he likes to follow me around.

In any case, I'm smitten. I'm sorry to all the lovely ladies and handsome men, but my heart has been taken by Bazin and I don't think I'll ever get it back.

I am excited, yet afraid at the same time - my first runway show in Los Angeles is Friday evening! The pay is good and I will be wearing things by a designer who is new and upcoming.

I have five tickets to offer to get into the show, if anyone would be interested in seeing the [name] runway?

Private to Valjean and Cosette: I reserved two tickets for you both, but I more than understand if you might find it dull. I mean it; do not come and be bored if you don't wish it; I will not be angry.

God has visited me in my dreams again.

I haven't disclosed this to any of you in a public forum, even if I've expressed it privately. But God has shown me a world that I can barely describe. A world that is both an alternate, a future, a past and a present. And when I saw this world, I realized that it wasn't a dream at all: it was a window into a past memory. It was a thing of beauty...and of horror. Horror because of the creatures that spawned within cities, the destruction that tore across continents....a thing I could not have ever imagined.

I am at God's side now. I have the love of the Lord in my heart. And I am his tool upon Earth. I am his herald. His harbinger. And my role here will no longer be passive! In brain scans I see this world hidden within us, and I will bring it upon us through blood, love and rebirth! For only through destruction can we be reborn into the perfect forms that will last unto Eternity! There is no other answer! No higher calling! I urge each and every one of you to look to your sins and seek rebirth!

There will be those that say I am insane. They are easy prey for the false shepard that promises salvation, when the truth is that salvation is possible only within destruction. You cannot possibly comprehend the wonders and horrors I have seen.

You do not let comprehend your place in things.

I am the harbinger of your perfection. From now on, I am assuming control.

It’s indecent, I believe, that a man... (Or any person for that matter!) would think it appropriate to make such forward advances on a woman they have only just met. I do not care if they believe they know me from what the tabloids have said. They can politely put it back in their pants and continue on their way until they’re ready to hold a civilized conversation with me.

I suppose I shouldn't have expected more from St. Patrick's Day, but at least I can vent my frustrations here.

I got a letter in the mail today from the state of California, and I'm not too proud to admit I wept when I read it. It was about Gracie, obviously, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. This little girl has made a difference in my life I can't even put into words. I was just overcome. I think many would be.

I know some of you expressed interest in news, so here it is.

As soon as the papers can be signed downtown Los Angeles? I have a daughter. And Grace has a father.

I'd like to remind everyone that shared mass hallucinations are not impossible. Neurological adjustment has come leaps and bounds in the past decades, and that's just what we know of. It would be easily dispersed through the water supply or (and this is less likely) airborne methods.

This may be one of the more arcane questions asked here in some time, but I have to inquire. Has anyone here ever adopted a child? If so, what does it mean when they say your case needs "review"?

I'd panic, but they did grant me permission to foster Grace until the ruling comes down. So she gets to stay with me until they make a decision, which will either be wonderful or the second most heart-wrenching thing I've ever experienced.

I know a few people had posted looking for jobs, and I actually have a few openings around my shop. I need data entry people, three customer service agents, three shop people, and two floor managers. If you think you'd suit, please e-mail me your resume at lulu.webster@fayth.com. Please let me know your intention to do so here, simply so I know who to expect.

Opening a men's branch of my clothing line is much more effort than I'd thought, but I must admit, I'm enjoying myself. Even the flu wasn't too much of a setback - my co-designer Jefferson is a genius, and I had plenty of sketching time myself.

You know all those dreams everyone is always talking about? I think I had one.

Apparently, my "dream self" (oooooh, spooookkkyyyy) is, uh, exactly the same as normal me. Which is to say, he has a huge family, a twin brother, and a tendency to be hilarious.

Oh. I'm also apparently a wizard.

You know. Like you... do.
