Net Invite to Entire Valarnet, minus Oliver Queen


[info]purpleman
[info]valarnet
Party for Oliver Queen's thirty sixth birthday tonight. Paintball, beer, hot dogs and burgers and vegan substitutes and hopefully convincing Ms. Jubilation Lee that she wants to wear cake for the birthday boy. Following the paintball will be a bonfire, elaborate medieval deserts including REAL gingerbread and hot cider and rum punch.

I'd say not to bring Ollie gifts because he always says he doesn't need things, just wants people to be there so...try that if you can?

Thanks Valarnet!

Ladies & Gentlemen, boys and girls and whatever you identify with, I have an announcement. Big, life changing announcement actually.

Well, not for you. I mean, your lives will basically be the same.

I, Tony Stark, will be marrying the hell out of Pepper Potts because I asked her and she said yes. And if any of you talk her out of it, I'll find where you live and blast metal outside your house while you try to bring home your date for the first time. You know the one, the hot architect or whatever.

But seriously. We're engaged.

Well it's official. I hate my job. Not that any of you want to listen to it, but I felt the need to say it.

I just spent the last week developing a state-of-the-art antennae system for my company's upcoming new Smartphone launch. They LOVED it. Guess who's getting the credit on the patent? My supervisor for the development team. The phone's technically his idea, we just put the damn thing together in pieces for him, and I was certain my name might be included because.. well it's a revolutionary system.

Oh to hell with it. I get money to do this.

Sorry, had to vent. Back to watching Do You See What I See? on the Science Channel.

So I have a kinda sorta random and unexpected gig coming up... three days a week for the next month.

How to explain this one? ...actually, it's sort of embarrassing. I was goofing on this piano at Smyth's fancypants department store -- and someone heard me. He owns a fancypants hotel in Tustin. He wants me to come and play Christmas songs on his fancypants grand in the lobby.

I'm still trying to figure out why I said yes. I think I just miss the piano. You know? Meh, maybe I'm alone there, missing pianos.

...I have to shave and get a haircut and wear a tux. Oh brother.

Actually, this grumpy attitude is all a put on. I'm pretty excited!!

You ever fall asleep at work when you've been awake most of the night going over research and other stuff? Cause I kind of just woke up, and have the home row kind of embedded in my forehead now. I think the mouse is kind of a long shot, since it somehow situated itself in a little puddle of coffee I knocked over, since apparently Maxwell House is now known to not stave off exhaustion.

Your tax dollars at work, Valarnet.

Go figure.

At any rate, that isn't even what I came on here to post about. Just the set up to the weirdness I'm going into next. Sue me for being not exactly eloquent here, I just woke up on my desk.

Those dream things a few of you mentioned? Looks like I'm now a member of that little club. Somewhere I can pick up my membership card?

So. Who here has heard of a Gotham that's probably not the one in New Jersey? Where Bruce Wayne owns restaurants that you have to lie to get into, and brings prima ballerinas to, and I'm some kind of civil servant who compares myself to the appointed officials in the Roman Empire?

That was...weird. And a little uncomfortable. Not as uncomfortable as explaining what just happened to my boss is gonna be...

Okay, so I'm glad I've got a day off this week after all. Maybe I could even use it.

While we're on the subject of dreams, I had one where the most ironic thing EVER was said, and I completely missed it over there. Well, we all did, okay? Even BATMAN, who is the ultimate badass in superhero world, and the smartest, didn't notice, and he was there at the time. I guess I feel sort of relieved there, since he picks up on EVERYTHING EVER, but I should have known something was off. Isn't that the way it always works on TV? The most innocent seeming remarks turn out to be the ones that screw you over?

So, to recap, I've now screwed over two sidekicks in that world, attacked the third while I was possessed, and all kinds of insane stuff like that. What is that world, a movie produced by the Keep Away From Green Arrow Club?

On close reflection, the Halloween antics are probably some deep seated reflection of my need to get out there and drag my life out of the rut I've let it get into. So, I'm going to shake it up a little. I've got some time that I should pick up a hobby in for a couple of days a week after work anyway, and I kinda want to explore some of this stuff so...

Circus Camp. I've found a group for adult beginners that starts up pretty soon and meets a couple nights a week. It's interesting and different enough I'm gonna give it a go. It's not exactly running away to join one but it's the kind of compromise that I can go with.

Let's hope I don't fall on my face, yeah?

...I have a baby. A daughter.

I'm a father. Of the most adorable baby ever.

...In the dreams, I mean. Not here, obviously, or I guess, not here yet? Maybe? I'm honestly not sure but...

I can have kids there, even though I'm just a thing. I have something Real Roy never had. I've helped create the most amazing person IN my dreams so far, and my wife there was keeping her away from me, and had left me herself because this sick obsession with finding Real Roy was destroying me, and it would have destroyed THEM if I had let it. I had had my head so far up my ass that I didn't even know I had a kid, wasn't there when she was born, and missed out on the part where she got my hair and had a bunch of it grow in and everything.

How old ARE babies when they can hold their heads up and have hair? Because I missed all of that being sunk in my insane and crazy fool idealistic crusade. I can't...

That isn't gonna happen here. If there's a Lian in my future, I'm going to do it right. I want to get better.

I AM going to get better.

...I hope when I go back to sleep, I can see her again.

I've been so scatterbrained and this happened last month, but I just wanted everyone to know that... I really appreciate the gifts that got sent to the hospital while I was stuck in there.

I'm out now, I've been out for a few weeks, and it's all been kind of crazy... Physical therapists and meetings and trying to get life back on track. But it really cheered me up, and you guys here on the Valarnet are amazing.

They gave me this ugly cane to use while I'm recovering, it was horrible! So I bought some glitter and ribbons and gems and really blinged it out. Now it's the most awesome cane in the history of ever. Check it out!

When you grow up Catholic, there are a lot of statues around.

So you go to Catholic School and all school is boring... but sometimes you think: Hey, if that statue over there started to move, it would make my day a heck of a lot more interesting.

You get into a staring contest with a statue -- and of course you lose, because Hey! It's a statue! You're gonna lose the starting contest, mate! But you dare the statue to move or do something creepy...



...I really regret making those dares now. Cos... my house is filled with little statues. FILLED WITH THEM!

I'm an asshole in my dreams and attack kids, including my goddamn sidekick.

Obviously, this isn't you know, the real Dream Ollie and something has to have caused it but...seriously? Pretty disturbing implications THERE if it's supposed to be some kind of warning for my real life.

Cause, seriously? Pointing my bow at a sixteen year old girl? Actually SHOOTING at said sixteen year old girl? Trying to blow up the other, ex, sidekick?

What's the metaphorical meaning of all this, exactly?


At least she wasn't Mia. Then I'd have to be more worried. As it is, looks like I'm skipping the meeting I had planned afternoon to get a head start on the weekend. What did Jimmy Buffett say, it's five o clock somewhere?



Could've done without that really disturbing trip into dreamland, all the same, thanks. So, to keep my mind off of this, I propose a new Halloween tradition:

Grown Up Trick Or Treating.

Same idea as the old version really, only instead of the candy, every house passes out a shot or bong hit. We all show up at that party following this. Anybody actually want in?

Not that I know what the Hell I'm going as since my costume idea got STOLEN and all. But you know. In theory.

I've been posting ads in the local newspapers and on the UCI website, but I figured this is as good a place as any. Actually, it's probably the best place to look for candidates considering people on this network seem to be so much more open about their dreams.

I'm looking for 5 to 10 human participants for a clinical trial I am putting together. The trial is regarding the dreams, so having them is a must. It involves spending nights at the my medical facility in UCI and answering questions. There is a fair amount of pay involved and it can be negotiated depending upon what the participant would be willing to do (I'm looking into doing some sleep deprivation trials as well, for example).

If you have these dreams and are interested in earning some extra cash for simply having them and letting me study observe you, then please let me know so we can discuss it further.

Thank you.

Question. Would you like to do something besides go running, some time? Not that running isn't wonderful - good for the health, good preparation for the zomb-- right, can't even joke about that one. Point being, love the running, would like to also have dinner some time. Maybe. If you'd like.

Hey, uh, Valarnet? Could somebody here point me in the direction of a good AA group and also a decent trauma therapist? I've got a lot of issues that I need to start handling, but a good friend helped me realize that it's not wrong to get help if I need it and people here might actually get this kind of thing. So... Here's me admitting stuff.


I have a drinking problem. Because the dreams are giving me a lot of problems in daily life and affecting me really badly, to the point they've given me very real traumatic reactions even if I don't know for sure that they've even happened to me. And if I want to keep my job, and my life under control...I'm gonna need to control both.


I guess uh...here we go, right?

I have been waiting to post something here until I had more news, but I know that Ty Lee had friends here that she spoke with on occasion.

Friday evening as she and Azula were leaving the Gala, a car slid out of control and crashed into her. Azula is unharmed - I believe Ty Lee pushed her out of the way - but our young gymnast friend has not been nearly as lucky.

She is stable and awake, now. I am sure she would want me to tell you all not to worry overly much, but I thought it best to make people aware, in any case. Her parents are not currently allowing anyone to see her, but she has her phone with her.

Oi, I knew this Net had to be good for something... Like asking if anyone would be interested in some part time work. Preferably someone that isn't PSMing because then I will feel safe about giving you a sledgehammer. Sorry ladies but you don't have me fooled. You talk all the time about talking about feelings but then you turn into a hormonal monster and there are a few of you I wouldn't trust near my power tools during that sensitive time. It is out of love for you and self preservation.

If you didn't know, I am a contractor and I happen to have a new project AKA why I need a few sets of capable hands. I pay exceptionally well but I work you hard so be prepared to work. Apparently now I find the house as well as renovate it to suit you so if anyone is looking... Hey hey, don't get on me either about self advertising. Work is hard to find with this economy and I need the work. But I am done now taking up your precious time with non-sarcastic comments despite the overwhelming temptation to poke fun at the RNC fiasco.

Last night, we--the madman and I--went to a superb Chinese restaurant. It looked like no more than a hole-in-the-wall, but one of Sherlock's lesser skills, respectively, is that he can pick out the best place to eat on every block, even if he's never been there before. I haven't had a bad meal since arriving here.

My fortune cookie said 'There is nothing new under the sun. It has all been done before.' I beg to differ.

I'm in a state of shock. I gave up hope trying to catch the person who did that to them. I try not to think about what happened and then I get a call. It's hard for me to not get my hopes up even though I know I shouldn't. Is this just going to follow me around forever? It's tearing me a part.

Okay so we know all about the dangers of assuming a woman is pregnant when she isn't. In fact, it's best not to ask a woman if she's pregnant unless you can actually see a baby emerging from her at that very moment.

But no one ever warned me about the equal danger of knowing a woman is pregnant and pointing said fact out to the brother-in-law of the woman in question. Apparently, it's especially bad when the woman is your boss, and the brother-in-law turns out to be the father, and the husband hasn't got a clue.

So, I lost my job today.
