I really loathe having to go into electronics stores. First of all, they try to get me to buy the latest gaming system, which I have utterly no interest in whatsoever. Because I'm of that age, I suppose, where I'm meant to be interested in video games.

I only go in there for parts, honestly. No, I don't want the warranty, I'm going to take it apart anyway. No, I don't want this or that option and yes I absolutely promise this is what I want to buy, not whatever you're getting commission for this month. The OS I run probably isn't compatible with whatever you're trying to foist on me.

I'm this close to laminating my doctorate in Computer Science to keep in my wallet, so I can wave it at people when they try to convince me that I really honestly need this completely unnecessary accessory for my computer. I can't get two feet into the store without being swarmed by people in blue polos asking if I need help.

I don't. I really don't. Kindly sod off.

Last night I had this pretty amazing dream. It was kind of a clairvoyant one, which is strange. I'm a psychic, but not that kind of psychic, normally. Maybe I have some latent precognition? Who knows.

Anyway, I was just wishing for some kind of sign. About my mom. It's been years and years. We never did find her. And I think I saw her. I caught a glimpse of her, anyway, and it was just nice. She was doing doctor things, saving lives, and she looked like... well, like she was at peace, anyway. It seemed too real to just be an ordinary dream.

I look a bit more like her in some place than I thought. It's hard not to see her when I look in the mirror now. But anyway, it gives me hope. That she's still out there somewhere.

And now that this quiet little reflective post is out of the way, I better get back to keeping a house full of teenagers entertained during a blizzard.

Cafe's in good hands tonight, so if you stop by and I'm not there, my apologies. I need... a night drink myself into oblivion.


[Edit] fuck this, I'm hibernating.

OOC note: Rachel has become Mikasa from Attack on Titan, and I just hope I have the voice enough XD

This strange glowing device. Have I seen pictures of things like these in Armin's books? I don't know. Using it seems simple enough, now that someone has taken a few minutes to instruct me.

I am stranded far outside the wall, in a city of glass. This sprawling city has few defenses and will fall to the Titans easily. How have they survived? How do they not know of the hell that is awaiting them? And if this city remains intact, are there more? Is the wall and everything we've ever known a lie?

I do not know. Armin would do better at puzzling through it. Eren would enjoy exploring it. I don't even know how I got here, or who these people are. That is irrelevant, my mission remains the same. I am Mikasa Ackerman, last known member of the Scout Legion, and all I can do is die defending it.

Finally introduced my fiance to my parents, it went well.

But last night I had some really messed up dreams. Most of my dreams are messed up to begin with, but these were a new kind of messed up.

Usually I dream about visiting parallel realities, this time I was dreaming I was another version of me. Second time that's happened.

One of the worst-case scenario world for mutants I've seen. Constantly hunted by giant robots bent on killing my kind.

(or basically anyone who knows Scott Summers)

Dad didn't wake up today, and uhm... well lets just say that I don't think he's waking up anytime soon. I tried everything I know - mental telegrams, brewing the good coffee, turning on the fire alarm in our house (the kids thought that was funny), but no dice. He's just... sleeping. Not even peacefully. I just duct taped his visor to his face.

So I guess we're all going to have to manage without him until he wakes up.

Just hit a woman with my car.

But don't anyone worry-- she was just fine, didn't even get a dent.

And the woman was okay, too.

I bet this sort of thing happens all the time here. It sort of happens all the time in New Orleans, too. Crazy pedestrians everywhere.

On the upside, my new penthouse is sublime. Thank you, Newport Beach, for the beautiful water-front property.

Sorry I've been away, everyone! Between kitten proofing my dorm, classes, studying, and looking for good charities to volunteer for I've been absolutely swamped!

What's this I've been hearing about explosions and property damage? Have they caught those responsible?

ARE WE UNDER A TERRORIST THREAT?

HAS THE PRESIDENT BEEN INFORMED?

WE CANNOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN, PEOPLE! WE AS A NATION NEED TO FIGHT BACK AND SHOW TERRORISTS THAT THEY CANNOT WIN!

I AM ORGANIZING A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IN MY AREA! I SUGGEST EVERYONE DO THE SAME! TOGETHER WE CAN KEEP THESE STREETS SAFE FOR OUR BELOVED COUNTRYMEN! OUR FAMILIES! OUR FRIENDS! OUR FELLOW PATRIOTS!

WHO'S WITH ME?

Okay so I go into the bathroom, and one of the cats is on the toilet. Doing his thing. And he looks at me, and I look at him, and then he flushed the fucking toilet and trots out like he's king of the world.

What. Is. Up, Orange County? Frequent visitor, first time resident. The name's Peter (not Petey, not Pete, not P-dizzle, it's Peter), I'm from a little town down south y'all probably have never even heard of. So I'll spare you all the Googling.

PS. I own this place called Star-Lord Collectibles, a place where you can get all your hard-to-find collectible needs. Or where you can sell them. And if we don't have what you're looking for, chances are I know how to get it for you. Grand opening is this Saturday, so until then I'll be enjoying the beaches and the babes.

Peter, out.

But I got to dream about a Phoenix. That's pretty cool, right? Does anyone else dream about those?

There is now a rock opera version of Everyman. A German rock opera, no less. While medieval morality plays are not the first works I would think of when translating into a completely different performance genre, I am always interested in seeing new takes on older works. I hope a full recording of the production will be made available, as the clips I have found are...intriguing.

I'm providing a link that gives some information about the productions as well as couple of videos. The character design for Death--or, in this case, Der Tod--is not exactly work-safe. There are costume breasts. This Death looks like some strange melding of a xenomorph, Gary Oldman's elderly Dracula, and a dominatrix.

Here is link, should any be curious: http://operetta-research-center.org/jedermann-will-rock-erfurt/

I asked 9 people today if they knew what Twitterpated meant and they all responded with "I don't twitter."

I never thought I'd get to the point in my life where I took the ability to have a warm shower for granted.

But I did, and I swear I won't ever again because showers are awesome. And so is sleeping in your own bed.

Nothing like waking up and nearly stabbing your girlfriend. And it hurts.

I had another set of not-me-but-still-me dreams. Like it's an alternate universe to the dreams I have that feel the most real.

Uhm Ororo I hope you don't dream those ones, that version of me took your eye. Apparently you're a bad guy there.

Pretty sure cooking a month's worth of food isn't exactly the best plan when one is bored but hey, ah don't have to cook again for a month.

That said, uh, does anyone need food? Ah'd share, since ah got a ton, and ah feel like ah ain't done nothing for ya'll or even said hello, so this is me saying hi and if anyone needs me, ah'm here for ya'll. Ah've been on my own for a long time and it's hard fer me to be social, but ah'm willing ta try and end that habit.

I'm going to go insane stuck in this hospital bed. It's a good thing Kitty brought me my 3DS and my Laptop.

God, this is weird. I can't believe I'm doing this.
Let's hope this works.
Oh, well, here goes nothing...


I have a good friend who I think deserves a date with a nice guy. She and I have been on strings of dates with losers lately, and have tried everything from Speed Dating to Internet Dating (match.com, etc.). It's been disastrous. We thought we'd try something new this time.

My friend Joan is a wonderful person. She's intelligent, witty and beautiful. She has a great job, keeps herself well groomed, and makes enough money to support herself.

Thought I'd test the waters and see if there are any eligable bachelors out there who would be interested in a date (or possibly a double date) with Joan.

[Click me for a picture] )


Leave a comment if you're interested, and we'll get talking!

Ah, California. It's been many years since I've been on this side of America, though I must say that I spent most of that time in San Francisco and not here in Orange County. I am quite happy at the prospect of spending an extended amount of time here.

My name, as I'm certain it's considered standard to introduce oneself, is Max Eisenhardt. I am a professor and will be teaching at UCI come fall. I feel perhaps there aren't many on this network my age, but I do like to keep up with the times. If one does not embrace progress then one will find themselves quickly out of touch, after all. I do wonder perhaps if some of my prospective students are here?

Nothing compares to holding a sixteen year old version of your best friend's mother and trying to console her. When she's the same woman that did the same thing to you when you were a kid. God time travel sucks.

Making arrangements to get the kids off to visit with my dad for a couple weeks this summer. And for me too for at least a week of that. And my dad had this great idea for a road trip for them that I'm apparently not invited on. I see how it is.

Mother's Day, that day where I won't call my mom, and she won't call me, and that pretty much sums up our relationship at this point.

I think the last time we talked was mostly yelling and her demanding I get out of this "lesbian phase" I'm apparently in.

What's with all the dream reports? Is that what all the cool kids are doing these days? Because last night I had a dream where I played roller derby (I don't) and I showed up for the World Cup, except they asked me to play the organ instead. So I played the only organ song that Dream Me knew, which was Phantom of the Opera.

And then the game was won by the goldfish. Yes. Goldfish in roller skates.

Not sure if it was fighting all these darkspawn, but when I stole a quick nap I had a dream again. Like I think this was 'real' dream me and not any other dream mes, because it was picking up where I left off with dating Bobby. (blech)

So of course he loses his shit and turns Earth into a snowball. Great. You really know how to pick 'em, Pryde.

St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow! Don't forget to wear green tomorrow! There are those that like to move around and pinch people if you're not! And I'm one of those people. So if you don't know me and aren't wearing green...watch out!

But really. Be safe out there everyone! Sometimes people like to celebrate a little too much, just be responsible! And speaking of responsibility, anyone wanna go out and grab a pint tomorrow evening? I'm sure everywhere will be busy, but that will make it fun! And people are so jovial and social when they're drunk.

Woke up this morning and went to the kitchen for some coffee...

Most of the silverware and cooking utensils were either on the floor or on the counters, drawers all askew, and at least three of our cooking knives were embedded in the wall across from the knife block.

Guess the Telekinesis is getting stronger. yaaaaay.

At least my subconscious knows better than to fuck with the coffee maker and mugs.

OH THANK GOD I'M ME AGAIN.

I dreamt that I used her telepathy. That somehow we were in a corner, and I just ... I don't know. Tapped in. And felt my consciousness shift - that's the only way I can describe it. I don't know if I could do it again, but it has left me feeling weird, this time in a good way. I feel like I've achieved some kind of higher consciousness. It makes me happy.

Scott: Will you tell me when you have some time, so I can swing by? I do have to ask you about something. And it'll be nice to see you when I'm me again.

My dreams keep getting curiouser and curiouser. If I didn't know better I'd say I was stark raving mad, but my father quite enjoyed the stories I was telling him and encouraged me to keep up with my imaginationing. At least until he passed, which was depressing.

And then mother tried to surprise me with an engagement party to this sniveling little boy of a man.
