I've noticed a weird and growing sentiment online from people in middle school and high school, talking about how SPECIFICALLY women college age or above that are still in fandom or geek spaces are weird and "jobless losers". Which is odd because they don't say a word about men that still have the same hobbies they always did. Or about them having hobbies at all. It's specifically women that shouldn't have hobbies or should have PRODUCTIVE hobbies.

And maybe I'm a bit touchy because I cosplay online as a hobby and have had to put in my bio for people under a certain age to please not duet with me. But... we were in these spaces first? Why do we need to go? And why are specifically women not allowed to unwind in a way that doesn't make money or benefit other people? "get a job" I've got two, thanks.

Alright so I haven't talked about this on here for a while I know but that's because it's been a lot of boring behind the scenes paperwork stuff but now I can announce it: My game is coming out around Halloween so that the company can try to get some momentum and interest going into the holiday season. It's been a lot of work getting all the figures and illustrations on the cards exactly right for production so I'm proud of it.

Well I’m not sure how or what I did but I managed to get myself blocked on social media by one of the dudes from Ghost Adventures. I’m weirdly proud of that fact.

Am I the only one who gets irritated at websites emailing them products they think you'd like based on your previous purchases? When they're nothing like your previous purchases? Is it that hard to check my account history to see what I ordered from the website? If you're going to just email me random suggested items don't sit there and say it's based on stuff I've ordered. I've never ordered anything that would lead any company to think I'd be interested in a plush backpack.

I'm making good progress on writing out the stories I'd made up for the twins and revising and polishing them. I still haven't found an artist yet to illustrate them. I know if I don't find anyone, the publisher will probably find someone they like for it, but I'd rather ask here first if any one here is either an artist who would like to work on a children's book, or if anyone knows anyone who would like to work on a children's book?

As someone who was diagnosed with adhd as a child and is currently in medschool, you would think I would remember that simulants have the opposite effect on me than they do most people. And yet here I am, waking up after falling asleep from drinking the coffee I made to help me study for exams.

I never thought that parenthood would consist of telling my kids pouring catnip into the water bowl so our cat can have tea time was a bad idea, but that was my day today.

So, parents of Orange County, what is your moment of "nothing prepared me for this weird part of parenthood"?

Has anyone else ever walked into their apartment to find their significant other vacuuming, but they're wearing a hoodie backwards with one of your pets in the hood like a weird kangaroo pouch? Because that's exactly how I found Armin and Mopsy today. And apparently he does this all the time, and I'm worried for no reason?

The emergency vet clinic is an eerie place in the middle of the night. I had to take Patch because she ate an entire bag of chocolate, and chocolate is deadly for dogs. They gave her a shot, and I think she feels like I betrayed her because I let it happen. But so far, she seems to be fine.

So I've been an EMT for a couple of months now and I actually enjoy it a lot more than I thought I would at the start. The only part I really dislike, which I would think is the same for doctor's, is when the person we're called for dies. That happened last night and I don't know if it's because I've been talking more about being a Medium lately and I've let my guard down, but I saw the man's ghost just after he passed and it shocked me for a minute since I don't usually see random ghosts. I can usually control it and it's usually people I know that I see or people I've had a connection to.

It reminded me just how much of a shock it is to see them unexpectedly and while I sometimes act like an expert on the subject and like it doesn't affect me, that's clearly not true like I thought.

Today I had a client ask we tell the caterer he wanted candle salads as a starter dish. And I've never heard of a candle salad before. So I looked it up. Okay fruit salad of some sort, but why is it called a candle salad?

So I kept scrolling to the finished picture. And um.

I don't really have much (any) experience in that area, but that really doesn't look like a candle to me, and I can really only think of one way you'd eat that.

Did I mention this event was a wedding rehearsal dinner? How much do you have to hate your in-laws?

Nico let me know he was expecting some packages soon, which. Normal. We both order a lot of stuff online, and he's an artist and always has a steady supply of sketchbooks and canvases so he doesn't run out. So I didn't really think anything of it when I saw the huge box on the porch today.

Until he opened it. And the entire thing is antique or reproduction cookbooks.

I'm not going to lie. I'm scared.

Alright, so this question is mostly the anyone who has been here for a few years. Next week is April 1st. What are the chances that the same thing that happened last year will happen again? Cause I really don't feel like turning into a woman again. It was interesting, but not something I want to revisit.

I'm guessing wanting to get drunk and forget everything is a common reaction to the dreams? Yeah. That's where I'm at today. I actually called off work, which I have never done for myself. The sad thing is, I only just started dreaming and I have a feeling it's going to get a lot worse than this.

Went to see my mom in the dreams, told her I know Jean didn't hit that kid. Except I know that Jean did hit that kid. Because apparently I have a thing for Jean, still. Or I like to live dangerously. Probably both.

Got some pills at the pharmacy. The illegal kind. Then threatened the pharmacist at home by sitting on his chest while he slept, and forcing pills down his throat. Told him I expect 1000 pills every Friday.

Because yeah. Definitely into the living dangerously thing.

I hate how real this all feels. Like, I know it's not my life. but it feels like it is.

I heard on the news that a father decided that he needed to take his two year old into an elephant enclosure the San Diego zoo to get a selfie. Watching the video, you can tell that the elephant is enraged causing the man to flee the enclosure and dropping his two year old very close to the charging elephant's feet.

Thankfully the child is fine, the father has been arrested and charged and the elephant faces no consequences of this man's actions. The lack of common sense people have is astounding.

Sometimes I find myself stopping at thinking how bizarre it is to live in a place like The Institute. For anyone not familiar with it; it sometimes reminds me of dorms you sometimes see in British movies or tv shows. You know how all those old Universities have these big, old stone buildings as their dorms? Well it's kind of like that and considering only four of us live here, it feels even bigger sometimes. In my dream world, Institutes usually house a large number of Shadowhunters, but even in my dreams there aren't a lot of Shadowhunters that live in the New York Institute. It's also a little weird since I don't live there, in my dreams. I'm still at the Shadowhunter University, which is an even bigger and older and draftier version of old British dorms.

Speaking of which, I really hope I have another dream soon. I've said it before, but I really want to know if I survive the ascension and become a Shadowhunter. It's killing me, not knowing.

I grew up on a farm, with all kinds of animals. I miss the horses, the cows, the pigs, the sheep, even the ducks. Dogs and cats, of course, chickens. I do not miss the rooster crowing at the butt crack of dawn. But I miss having animals around.

I'm thinking about getting a cat, or two. They do better than dogs when they're alone for hours at a time. I've only ever really been around outdoor cats, but obviously I'm looking at getting indoor cats. My question is should I stick with one, or do they like having a companion to keep them company?

After some creep decided to go off about the 'sexual marketplace' and how women are sixes going after tens who can only get fours in what I can only assume was an attempt to try and get me to go out with him... It's clear that men remain a mistake.

It's called creative problem solving - I wanted orange juice, couldn't get the lid off the bottle so I got a wrench out of the toolbox and used that to get it open. I don't get why Hazel is looking at me like this is the first time she's ever seen me do something like this.

So. Aliens. I mean I'm not surprised that aliens happened in my dreams considering I'd dreamed about their arrival before but they kidnapped someone very important to me so I had to go rescue him with a bunch of other teenage heroes, including one who looked an awful lot like me, just blond.

I have a dream twin. Which kind of makes sense? I have a twin here too, I've just never met him.

I like to help out with Olivia, she's like the little sister I never knew I wanted. Getting her ready for school today, she was too tired to put on her socks and shoes. She laid exhaustively in her bed, waving her foot, whining for me to help her.

Of course I do!

As soon as socks and shoes are on, she smirked as she sits up, kissed my cheek and went running to find her dad.


I swear she's going to be the actress when she grows up.

Why is it such a big deal to Hazel that we still have decorations up? We still have the hybrid Halloween/Christmas village up, the skeletons are still wearing their Santa hats and wreaths. I could understand it I guess if we still had the lights and tree up but we took those down today.

I can take my mom in... very, very small doses. She's still my mom, I still love her. I just.... the longer I've been away from her the more I realized I'm not exactly my happiest when I'm with her. Still, I'm glad to talk to her on the phone for a little while, especially since it's the holidays. But I feel maybe half an hour is enough? Not two hours and her complaining my dad and brother have turned me against her when I tell her I need to get off the phone.

I'm thinking it's time to set her ringtone to silent. And I'll just call her when I want to talk.

It's always interesting watching someone else play video games when you're not playing it with them. I was busy playing with the dogs while watching Nico play GTA. Where he apparently owns a meth lab in game now. I'm.... so proud? Also it's snowing in his game, so I've been watching him kill snowballs with npcs.

I've been procrastinating hard on wrapping things. I learned from the plush I ordered for myself that wound up in someone's office and just had everything sent to Mom's house, except for her own present. It's all there waiting for me to open it and wrap it back up. So I probably should get on to that tomorrow.

At least this Dream came quicker than the last one. DreamNico is constantly trying to summon Bianca’s ghost even though he can get everybody but her spirit to appear. Probably her way of objecting to the Happy Meals he’s using but it’s hard to get my hands on wine there to use so substitutions have to be made. Finally I give up and go to Hades to talk to our dad and make a deal - I’ll bring him the soul of someone who’s cheated death and he’ll release Bianca’s soul.

After that I use Theseus as a guide and he sends me to the Triple G ranch where I run into Percy and his group and...I’m just going to go ahead now and apologize to Percy for all the shit I do in the Dreams. Blanket apology to you for that crap. And I’m glad Geryon stopped me from attacking you at the ranch.

When Nico went all out last month and filled our entire house with Halloween decorations, he told me that meant I got to take care of Christmas decorating. Even if decorating is his job he literally went to school for, fair is fair.

...So, I ordered this. And now I just need to figure out what color christmas ornament goes best with "all of them".

Pros and cons to waking up with a dream related injury while on the job at the hospital. Pro, I was able to get it stitched up immediately. Con, having to figure out an excuse for how I got cut while sleeping in the on call room. At least if this had happened at home I could have come up with a better excuse. Either way, no one pried too much, which was good, but changes are my mom is going to hear about this. I'm surprised she hasn't called me yet.

As far as the dream itself goes, I threatened someone. Found Monty and Jasper and over forty other delinquents, but unlike everyone else, I don't trust the Mountain Men in Mount Weather. I then almost exposed the Mountain Men to the outside, which they apparently aren't immune to like we are and if I'd opened the door I would have killed them all simply because I wanted to get out. Long story short, Jasper convinced me not to and I was taken into custody.

I can safely say that I do not like the feeling of being caged.

Today has been Percy's No Good Very Bad Day. First I woke up late then right before I left my baby sister threw up on me so I had to change. Then I got stuck in traffic and got to work late. The only thing that saved me from getting in trouble was that our computers weren't working so no one could do any work for a couple of hours. And then when I got home, I somehow lost control of my abilities when I was washing the dishes and blew up the sink. I haven't done anything like that in a really long time. It's a really good thing that my mom and Paul know about my dreams, but that still doesn't mean that they weren't mad about the sink.

The dream that I had last night is really messing with me. These dreams are doing that in general. Showing me at different ages. Last one was age 3. This one? Age 10. School and home life wasn't so bad, except for the occasional bullies. I think everyone has those, though.

School it's so bad in my dreams, I mean I'm dealing with popular girls being bitches, but other than that, I kinda like it. I'm still on the task of getting the wand for mother, but I'm going about it another way, which I'm not too fond of. I gave the Prince spelled cookies for her could fall in love with me.

I know, I know, but the thing is...I think I'm falling for him? Weird.


Also woke up to my mother spell book in my bed.

I saw the most amusing thing earlier, while I was out. There was an SUV with a plastic skeleton attached to it's spare tire. I wish I could have taken a picture of it, but he was too far ahead of me to get a good one. I love when people get creative and decorate their cars for holidays. One time around Christmas I saw a car in a parking lot with lights on it. I wish I could have seen it when the lights were on.

So I found out I'm engaged to a thief today.

Have you seen those ads for the really adorable plague doctor and plague nurse plush? I preordered them and I've been really looking forward to them. Since it was a preorder, I wasn't really expecting when they'd come, I just figured they'd get here when they get here, you know?

I went into Nico's office space today to see them sitting on a shelf.

Those walkie-talkies that showed up? The ones that dream me made, Julian says that they work just fine. So, I found me a space and gutted them. I wanted to see if I could put them back together or not. It was almost like muscle memory or something. I managed to get them put back together and they still worked just fine afterward.

I guess I'm going to need to get some better tools. Especially if I'm picking up stuff dream me can do.

So now that it's October, I have to ask, what is everyone's favorite scary movie? Scary. Horror. Halloween themed. Anything like that.

For me, it's the Scream movies, Gremlins and Corpse Bride.
