Gotta love Mako - my dog. Every morning at 5AM, regardless of my schedule or health, she plunks her little puppy butt on my head and wags her tail in my face so I'll get up and wrestle with her.

Well. It's not REALLY wrestling - I'd win, that's how tiny she is! It's more like enthusiastic hugging. Silly dog's turning me into a morning person.

I have no idea why Enjolras thought it would be a good idea to sign me up without asking to volunteer at some bookstore. There's really only one appropriate reaction, though.

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.

Saturday was crafts night over at my house, since all the kids had to make mother's day cards. I also tried to teach them to make pancakes to they could cook breakfast for their moms, but only one or two of the oldest really got the flipping down. All the feedback I'm getting is "Well they tried, anyway" so I'm assuming cold cereal was had all around.

Other than that, I've vacuumed every day since then and given Thor about three baths, but I'm still finding glitter friggin' everywhere.

Thor isn't sure what he's done wrong to deserve so many baths. He's upset with me right now.

I thought that I was missing out on something when I wasn’t having any dreams. The first one was something to be desired. It wasn’t that exciting.

I’ve had another one. Your mom went missing.

Sometimes it's exhausting being the oldest cousin, but sometimes it's a ton of fun

Predictably, Easter was chaotic. There was an Easter Egg Hunt at Uncle Peter's house, since he's got the biggest back yard. Most of the kids decided I was too old to play, which is fine, but one of the really little ones (he's four this year) asked for my help. He gave me one of his Cadbury creme eggs to say thank you.

Of course, all the adults overbought on candy. So once they did a final sweep of the back yard to get all the unfound eggs, they dumped all the left over candy in a huge bag and handed it over to me so the kids don't find it and go nuts.

I might put some of it in a bowl on the counter at work, for customers with kids. But I might keep most of it to myself.

Thor got a stuffed bunny for Easter. I was a little worried he'd tear it apart within ten minutes, but he carries that thing around by the back of its neck like it's his baby. He's very, very gentle with it and looks worried whenever I pick it up to put it in his toy box. I guess this one is sticking around.

I just realized I have a crush on someone.

And that he's kind of going to be oblivious to it unless I flash him or something.

But then he'd probably be all cute and all "Hey, Rikku, your shirt's broken" or something and oh tysh ed fro ec ra cu lida.

This whole blood moon thing had me pretty wary anyway. But then I had a dream about tearing my uncle's throat out, and that was just sort of the icing on the really creepy cake.

I mean, my uncle's a dick sometimes, but that doesn't mean I want to kill him. Though apparently killing him makes me the Alpha, at least in my dreams.

This morning I swear, for just a second, I saw my eyes go red when I looked in the mirror.

But I haven't seen anything like that since, so I'm hoping I just wasn't quite awake yet.

Ugh. Gross mouthbreather guy at work found out that I'm single. I didn't know what to say when he was all HEY LET'S GO OUT and was breathing garlic on me so I sort of panicked and walked off. I didn't even say no, I just went AUGH and walked away.

... that counts as a no, right? I hope that counts as a no.

So aside from the world being crazy (I've been staying inside as much as possible) and my uncle being a dick (nothing new), I'm having more dreams.

In this one, I got show with a bullet filled with wolfsbane. Which let me tell you, even in a dream? Really, really hurts. Werewolves do not mix well with wolfsbane. Especially when we're shot with it.

So I spent my whole dream slowly dying of blood poisoning and almost had to cut my arm off.

That was fun.

No, seriously. Cut for image, viewable to all. )

Yeah. My dog smiles, how do you not want to smooch her muzzle? That's all I've been doing, potty training, muzzle kissing, and belly rubs. Life is AWESOME.

That was certainly an experience, and an exhausting couple of days. I'm grateful to all of these people who fought by my side and kept the monsters at bay.

I am also very grateful I didn't have to... perform any sendings. I'm so happy to be back home with my new puppy and my cousin. I hope the rest of you are recovering and safe.

Things are starting to feel a little crazy around here again, so I had an idea to lighten them up a bit. Or at least amuse myself and anyone who knows Derek Hale.

Like any good uncle, I have a huge amount of pictures of Derek from when he was in his younger, awkward stages. Before he grew into his ears and started working out.

If you'd like to subscribe to the Embarrassing Pictures Of Derek Hale mailing list, message me your e-mail or phone number, whichever way you'd prefer to receive the aforementioned pictures.

First one's on me.

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.

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.

Garment grids? Okay, that's the stupidest freakin' thing I've ever heard. Dreams, you are drunk, stop being in my head.

Baaaaasicaally I dream I can get awesome new superpowers by using this garment grid thing. And changing clothes. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but WHO GETS SUPERPOWERS WITH NEW CLOTHES?

Oh that's right. I do.

I need more spheres - memories of people that they record on actual spherical things - but eventually I'll be able to do magical outfit changes like Superman only way more weird looking.

Derek, stop laughing.

How do you manage to get sick in Orange County? It's practically summer here compared to other climates. But I've had a non-stop headache all freakin' day. Nothing I take is touching it.

Fuck my life. This better go away, do you know how hard it is to do your physics homework when your brain is throbbing?

And no, before anyone says it, I didn't drink anything last night. It's not a hangover.

So I got through my first full moon after the dreams okay. The next one is on Valentine's day, fingers crossed it'll be fine.

Uncle Peter keeps wanting to talk about our dreams, but I don't know what there is to talk about. I dreamed he tore my sister in half, not something I really want to discuss.

I swear to god, if he suggests family therapy I'm moving to Alaska.

May have gotten in trouble for sneaking some candy out of its hiding place and away with me to work. I was going to replace it! I just happened to get caught before I did.

The candy is now replaced, and Halloween is saved. The kids are very excited about Derek taking them out tomorrow night. He still won't tell me his costume, but hopefully the kids will like it.

I'm much younger in the dreams. I think... I'm not entirely sure, but I might be the youngest summoner ever to set out on a pilgrimage. To see a face so young and willing to face Sin must be such inspiration to the people of Spira. I often feel like that girl is bearing the weight of the entire world on her shoulders.

She is.

But she's also a liar. She's a manipulator, at times. She keeps her guardians only so close to her, a wall I greatly understand. As genuine as her emotions are for them, still, she lies. Keeps them away from the inner parts of her.

Worse, she lies to herself.

Don't say it isn't worth it, that's what she'd say to me. I don't know if I can agree.
