This place making me be 16 again is getting really old. Twice now I've woken up as a teenager since moving out here - at least this time around I get to stay at my place instead of having to crash in Alec and Magnus' guest room for a couple days.

I've been told more than once it was more a matter of when than if the dreams would start... but dreams that don't make sense and also waking up a teenager seems highly unfair.

How are you? If you aren't caught in this as well, could we talk?

Super disappointed to find out that yesterday wasn't just a one-day hallucination. o_o

How long do these things usually last for here?

Whenever there's an outbreak of anything, suddenly everyone under the sun believes they've been infected despite many not engaging in risks to exposure in the first place. It's concerning, I know, but we must remain calm and rational through this. I understand, some of the symptoms are remarkably similar to the common cold, this isn't a complaint or to downplay the seriousness of getting tested if need be. More a request to be mindful of the professionals attempting to scramble in response to the current crisis and how resources are spread thin. We are working round the clock to the best of our abilities.

Be mindful of your recent exposure risks, don't panic, and I cannot stress this enough wash your hands. Why we have to tell grown people to do this in the first place is daunting to me.

I have a laser sword in my dreams!

I'm seriously questioning the intelligence of the Jedi for giving a child a weapon like that. It does have safety features on it. But still - a laser sword, just given to a child.

Fascinating! It appears there's a message board strictly for Orange County. Well, It seems a bit arbitrary to be excluding ones sales from potential clientele further out, but...effective if you are looking to communicate directly to those closer to your vicinity, I suppose.

Alright. Since I am just settling in here I'll go ahead and give an introduction. Why not! Not that I've ever really gotten much into this..."social media" as the kids these days call it, but as they say, why not live and learn!

So! Greetings all, my name is Stanford Pines, a researcher and professor at UCI (that is to say University of California, Irvine). I suppose there isn't too much to say about me fully. My hours are 9am-5pm if you happen to be in my classes, and while I may be new to the area, but do hope I prove to be an effective and straight forward in my interactions!

Oh and Dipper, Mabel, if you're reading this...we should catch up some time soon! I appear to be having trouble with my cell phone at the moment, but when I get it working properly I'll be sure to message you both. It appears with this new job, I'll be allowed some more free time, and it feels as if it's been far too long since we last spoke.

...I get that maybe I'm a little tone deaf and definitely didn't inherit Mom or Dad's musical abilities, but I still feel that howling when I'm singing along to spotify is a little rude and uncalled for.




Just so everyone knows, I'm talking about the dogs. Nico and Hazel are not howling while I'm singing (badly) with the soundtrack to Labyrinth.

I've spent so much time either reading across everything on here or working that I've entirely neglected to introduce myself properly. My name is Merlin Emrys. New to Orange County, but not to California.

What I find to be be the most striking and fascinating difference is the talk here of Dreams and other worldly sorts of abilities. Sure there is someone who is looking into this more closely? Who might be interested in an... apprentice of sorts?

My birthday was last weekend and while I love celebrating my birthday, the last few years have been more than a little strange, on that day, because of my Immortality. I know that I've stopped aging physically and unlike in my dreams where I'm already hundreds of years old, here I've only been a Warlock and immortal for a few years. So it's still strange to think that I'll be watching everyone I love age while I stay the same.

On a lighter note, I did have a great birthday, as always, and don't actually intend to stop celebrating it. I figure eventually I'll simply get used to it.

The mornings are turning super cold, and it's really starting to feel like winter. I can't wait until the Christmas music starts. Does that make me an odd duck?

Also, pies. So many pies! This upcoming week is Thanksgiving, and we'll be cooking pies nonstop to fill all the orders at BB1 and BB2. If anyone wants to order pies, now's the time! We'll have plenty for sale, too, without reservations!

There's a costume contest at the office, but I'm not sure I'm going to be participating this year. I've been told that I'm not allowed to wear my suit. To be fair, I understand how someone might assume I'd just put on my Iron Man suit and win all of the competitions, but that seems a little both unfair and lazy.

I'm waiting for inspiration to strike. Perhaps I'll get a costume this year after all.

Uggghhhhh, I'm so sick. :( . Terence brought home a Nintendo Switch, and I've been too sick to play. Feverish and coughing up one lung after the other... :( Boooo.

I better be feeling better by Halloween. Being sick is awful. :(

Does anyone have any go-to Netflix movies to watch or shows to binge when I'm laid up?

[Filtered away from Audrey]

So 31st October marks my 5th Wedding Anniversary, which according to the traditionalists means Wood is the appropriate gift.

I don't suppose anybody knows a place that will teach me how to do some woodburning?

Did anyone catch any shiny Chikoritas?

I'm still not sure whether I should be laughing at this story or cringing. Okay, I did both. Has anyone else seen this today? This woman wanted a big, grand wedding and asked her guests to all give her $1,500 dollars and when the majority refused and her fiance suggested they get married in Vegas, she went off on everyone.

Thank god, neither me or my husband felt this entitled and thank god, I'm a Warlock and could basically use magic to make our wedding as grand as we wanted it.

He bloody tried to send me away! After everything we'd been through together, he just sent me away. A holographic message to live my life, but how could I after everything he showed me?

So I went back. I looked into the heart of the TARDIS and saved him. I saved my Doctor. And what do have to show for it? A terrible headache and a little bit of heartache. I'll be in bed for the rest of the day.

I'm pleased to announce that I got my wand from my Dreams! I spent most of the day attempting to do dishes by magic, though I think I ended up with more broken plates than clean ones.

And I accidentally turned my favourite mug into a mouse. I managed to turn it back though. Mostly.

If anybody is curious what Glass House has been working on during our performance hiatus, go check out our website and the track we just put up. It’s not an official single but hopefully you guys like it. We also got some links up there to what we’re working on individually.

[Private to Magic Guild members]
Somebody suggested I reach out and see if any of you would be willing and able to try and help me figure out a way to get some freedom from my house. I’m going a little nuts just being stuck there all the time and my boyfriend is probably about as sick of it as I am even with friends coming over to hang out regularly. Even just being able to step out the door would be great.

OOC: pretend there’s a website okay? And the track they put up is a little edgier than what the band normally puts out

I do not know if anyone is watching the World Cup, but England actually made it through to the quarterfinals after defeating Columbia on penalty kicks! England is notorious for losing penalty kicks, if the matches get to that point, so it was positively brilliant to watch them pull through today. I am proud of my countrymen for not disappointing us once again.

I have to say there's nothing quite like waking up to breakfast in bed and homemade Father's Day cards. I'm so lucky to have the family I have and I try hard not to take that for granted.

I hope everybody else who celebrates it had a good day too.

I decided to stop by the Magic Guild today and it appears that in my absence quite a few magic users have left the area. I mean, I can't blame them, to be honest. Being in New York where nothing too crazy happened was pretty nice, if I'm being completely honest. Being back here is a little strange since I hadn't expected to come back, but in a way it feels right. Of course, I probably won't be saying that the first time the county is invaded, but at least I can do something to help when that does happen.

Remember how I said I love when a plan comes together?

There was this old crashed Federation ship, the Franklin. One of the survivors of another ship that had been taken by these people had made it into her home and repaired it. We were able to jump start the ship's systems by... pushing it off a cliff. But hey, it worked.

We figured out that VHF signal ranges disrupt the network the enemy ships used to coordinate. So we blasted classical music on that frequency.

Classical music in 2263 being the Beastie Boys. Always one of my favorites.

I feel like in my other dreams we would have blasted Elvish or the Beatles

Hey guys! In case you didn't know, Izzy and I were on an episode of Food Network's "Bakery Wars" and we're having a viewing party here at the bakery! You'll have to come and watch with us (or watch at home!) to find out what sort of baked items we made, and whether or not we won the challenge and the cash!

We're going to have a viewing party here at BB1 the day the show airs. More details are coming soon! :)

Right. Hello there. I heard this is the best place to get to know more people, meet some new mates maybe even a roommate? No, no too soon for that, leave that for the next post? So, hello! Right, already said that. I'm Rose Tyler! Nice to meet all of you...so to speak. Been here a couple of months, but it took that long for me to get use to this place. Made my way over from across the seas and it's been a change! I like the weather here though.

So what happens around here? Anyone know of a good spot to get a cup of tea? And not this American stuff...proper British tea. I think I've had my fill of coffee at the moment! Rather nasty actually...no offense intended for those that enjoy it! Just...different from home, ya know? Plus it's never fun to drink when you have to make it 8 hours every day. But someone has to! My civic duty now! You know, I've actually seen someone break down when we ran out of the Anniversary Blend. You yanks really love your coffee.
