This post is, admittedly, a touch belated, if only because yesterday I was busy and therefore distracted.

But Charlie also wanted to wish everyone a good Valentine's Day, so here's me, indulging him.

Well. These are just delightful.

(I suppose I should put a warning that while not really vulgar or anything, it will lead your mind to terrible and hilarious places.)

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not actually very romantic. I know, some of you out there will find that absolutely bizarre, but I assure you it's very true.

This is a very upsetting realization. Is there a way for people to learn romance or is it simply a quality some are born with and others must make due without?

My head aches haven't slept in days because I am afraid of what

I think the dreams everyone's talking about are nothing more than mass hysteria, and quiet self-aggrandizing, if I'm being totally honest. No, if I'm being totally honest, I say they are a self-serving, cyclical delusion. Pathetic. Superheros? Vampires? Improbably accurate super-sleuths? Rubbish.

Why am I ranting here?
Then again, who else could I...?
I not only talk to myself, but I type to myself.
Enough.

Now that I'm back in California and more or less settled in, I think it's time to set up shop again.

For those of you who are new, or have poor memories, my rates are as follows:

Sixty dollars an hour ($60/hr) for private lessons
Seventy five dollars an hour ($75/hr) for advanced techniques (ie: anything in the range of operatic)
Seventy five dollars an hour ($75/hr) for piano and/or organ lessons

Young master Frobisher, if you want your old job back, it's open to you.

Well, my dreams got extremely exciting all of a sudden. I got run off the road into the river last night because of an expose story I'm writing.

And the report which proves a project is extremely dangerous turned up on my bedside table this morning!

[Private to Rufus Sixsmith]

The report I got was written by you, if you wanted to see it I'd be more than happy to pop by and show it to you.

This is it. One more semester and I'll be walking off with a pretty graduate's degree. Never thought I'd see the day. Might get it framed and send it off to my dad, just because I know it'll piss him off.

Still, four months seems unbearable. Can't stand these people a moment longer than I must. Starting to wonder if my professors are passing me because they're sick of me, too. Wouldn't that be hilarious.

Also, I feel now is the time to share this. After months of those ludicrous dreams and sleepless nights and haunting melodies, I penned down what I proudly call The Cloud Atlas Sextet. To be fair, I got it from my dreams, and Luisa's gotten a proper record of it. So why not.

Don't have an orchestra at my disposal for the full effect, but here's the piano version I uploaded. If anyone feels so keen.

I'd found this bundle of letters at the back of my closet a few days ago, and I've been reading them with the utmost fascination. They've all been signed "Sincerily, RF", which is quite funny because those are Robert's intitials, and he has letters signed RS which are mine.

They were quite interesting, detailing a young man's adventures across Europe, being an amanuensis for a composer in Belgium and other such things.

It was all well and good until yesterday when I got to the last letter, dated December 12th, 1931.

That's it, then. After the weeks of worry and build-up, I've seen my dream life through to the end. Must admire the methodical thought behind it all. Woke last night with a start and the shot still ringing my ears, been up ever since.

Feel strangely hollow. Not because of the dreams, not really. Finally did it. The Cloud Atlas Sextet is done, surrounded here by butts of cigarettes and an abandoned bowl of Frosted Flakes. Not sure what to do now it's all said and done. Maybe tonight I'll sleep and sleep for hours. Think I'm about due that.

Oh, this is lovely, I mean it really is. I'm not even being the slightest bit facetious right now.

I set up a glorious symphony in my kitchen earlier, all kinds of sound effect balloons while I cooked.

It freaked my cat out, which was, of course, not intended but a fabulous side effect.

Not sure, exactly, how to word the latest dreams of mine. When such fails, I suppose I should be pleased I can turn to my dream-self, for he's far more eloquent in desperate times than I am. I can't promise this is exactly verbatim, but I've dreamt it often enough now that I suppose it should be close.

Cut for trigger warnings: mentions of suicide. )

I wish I could say that was just it, but it's quite a long letter. I have to marvel at my dream counterpart's calmness, his acceptance of it all, but I find myself - ironically - too cowardly to even want to attempt sleep in coming days, because, unlike my dream self, I do not want to see this through.

On the bright side, with these dreams came the missing half of the book I found some months ago. Tucked away amidst my music folders. Adam Ewing will comfort me for now, I suppose.

Oof, I'm so very done with hotel rooms and conferences and things. As Robert I think told you all, I've been away for reasons of science, and I've very much been missing home.

But I'm back now. Exhausted, but happy to be home. Lovely to see everyone again.

Hello there, lovely network of people. My name is Thackery Binx and I am a local veterinarian in the area. My clinic, Binx Animal Hospital, is located over in Laguna Woods. I feel like I'm in the first day of school where you have to introduce yourself to everyone. What else can I say? I'm from Salem, MA and I went to grad school here in California. The lack of winter won me over and I've been here ever since.

Oh, and I'm always looking for people that want to help out around the clinic. Heck, if you just want to come pet animals feel free. My cats love company.

As a tall man (6 ft 7in) I've always had some mild difficulty in certain aspects of my life. I flatter myself that I carry my height well, but still, there are issues. A lifetime of stooping has given rise to some back problems as of late, and I dislike taking medication such as painkillers. Perhaps this makes me something of a hypocrite, being a doctor myself.

Does anyone else have difficulties relating to their height? Just out of mild interest.

In the wake of things, I have made several decisions. The first being, yes, I am going to finish this degree even though I hate that stupid place. Seems pointless to leave it with so few credits left.

Second, I've found a nice little space to work out of, and have decided fill my spare time by offering more piano lessons. If anyone's interested, they can let me know via [e-mail] or tell me so here. Also offering my services as a rehearsal pianist should anyone be requiring one.

It's official, I hate this place terribly.

All right, the OC hasn't done anything wrong but it's the general fact that I regrettably must live within the same county as the people who I should supposedly refer to as my family.

Filtered for family arguments. )


[Filtered to Robert's friends.]

Would any of you care to help me move? I'm not really bringing much, but I'm taking the piano whether they like it or not. And my music collection is very heavy.

So I finally joined the ranks of Dreamers. So far its not too different from my life, earlier time wise and instead of being a novel writer I'm a journalist with a famous father.

Strangest thing though was I kept hearing this music throughout, like it was a soundtrack or something. Bizarre.

So we're clearly not the only ones this is happening to, but Ghost and Shadow have been talking non-stop all day. They're very keen on the ninjas idea, though somewhat worryingly excited about all the ninja assassinations they seem to think they'll be doing. I think we should stop their ninja training, Miguel. Also, have you gone to see Altivo today? Has he been talking?

How is everyone else dealing with the talking animals?

Valarnet. Valaarnet. The place where all of the insanity in the Orange County comes to play together if I am not mistaken, yes? Well, I guess we’re about to see how long it takes for one more poster on this board to go completely, irrevocably insane. I HAVE been reading over the shoulders of castmates for the better part of the week end now, and this seems to be just as good a place as any for me to go loudly and explodingly insane.

So, as you ought to know just whose mess you’ll be cleaning up on the day that I inevitably explode in a fight of fire and glitter, allow me to introduce myself properly: Cyrano Savinien
Hercule de Bergerac.

Blame my parents. I certainly don’t hold back if I think I can get loans out of them. Cryrano then.

On that note, yes that IS me in the picture attached to the post and we might as well get this out of the way, while i point out that yes, in fact, I have a nose. Yes, I’m fairly certain it is not my second head, a brand new alien lifeform dependent on me for survival or an attempt at male pregnancy that occurred as the result of that terrible night in Vegas, January 18th of the year two thousand and seven.

We are, however, quite the team. I write and he directs and we share the electric bill. Sadly, I’m going to say he got the looks, but then, I got the brain.

I am sure we can both agree that it's lovely to be here. Possibly. If one of you knows a bar that's only going to card the one of us.

Up late, as always. Can't even be bothered to try to sleep for once. I'd like to put on a new record I've recently acquired, but Rufus is still recovering from all the finals and I'd hate to wake him (even with something as charming as Dorati conducting).

Might take the dog for a midnight stroll. Or watch a film.

Any fantastic old movies that anyone out there recommends?

The closer summer and the end of the semester gets, the more I keep thinking about finding a dog for myself. Though my boyfriend may or may not be getting us a cat, so there's that to consider.

So I'll ask -- dog owners, what are the pros and cons of having your own dog? Especially a big dog.

Uh, hey there, internet? So my Psychology department head decided to give us this assignment that was going to last the summer, I guess? Blogging and social networking, stuff like that. Figure I can start it now, I guess... Never really know what to say in these things. Journals were never my deal, but. I guess there's always a first?

I don't really know. My brain's been kind of out of it and it's probably only going to get worse until after tomorrow and my date with just about the most amazing girl I've ever known. Not that you strangers really know or care, but cut me some slack alright, I'm new to this.

Hey, I'm new and my name's Anders.

Can we all take a minute to discuss kittens on the valarnet, here? Kittens are insanely adorable little things with adorably tiny paws and great big eyes and the little noses that twitch and their whiskers and all the fluff...

I might be going a LITTLE thick there, sorry. But so. Kittens. We’ve established that they are adorable. They are also, usually, incredibly cuddly and make the sweetest little cooing sounds besides the meows, or at least the gorgeous litter of maine coons someone dropped off at the office this week. They’re absolutely precious little cooing balls of awesome already, really really laid back, and would be great with kids, old people, students who are allowed to have pets, people in their teens to over a hundred..., busy people, people with time to have a companion who likes to curl up with you, tea drinkers, coffee lovers, anybody who doesn’t have an allergy...

Okay so the point is you really need to come and meet our kittens.

We’re in the situation where we’re not a shelter, and that probably won’t happen for another couple years if we get funding, but people bring their kittens to me all the time, and the overnight stay enclosures for the cats are getting pretty full and I’ve had to start doubling them up so my patients can have the peace they need after surgeries.

The dog area is looking much, much better as far as housing them these days, NOT that I’m saying people should run and drop their puppies off with me either. I’m REALLY not a puppy person, even though dogs can be nice, but I have a lot of kittens, and some older cats all really looking for homes who I DON’T want to have to drive to the shelter if I don’t have to. These guys are perfectly healthy, come with shots, and a bag of the food they’re getting here, and when they’re old enough, I’ll throw in a spay and neuter. I’d take them all back with me if I could, but seeing as that’s kind of not an option, I’m going to turn to all of you.

PLEASE come meet the kitties out at City Lickers in Irvine any time you can, we’re even open Sundays, and maybe think about giving one of those precious little faces a good home?

Aside from a select few, I'm really rather frustrated with my students. Half of them can't read music, and those who can can only barely do so. And I'm so terribly picky that I want them to, oh I don't know, hit the right notes 100% of the time. I know, I know, this is asking a lot, but I'm really very particular about music.

And poor young Mister Frobisher, I do feel bad for him. Not only are the bright young things I teach assaulting his ears with bad music, but he's having to start the song over every thirty seconds.

At least I have my construction work and can take my frustration out with a good old fashioned hammer and nails.

It's not all bad these days, though. I've written a fantastic new song.

There is nothing more exasperating than spending a good ten minutes per lesson sitting there while Mister Garnier attempts to explain to students that what they should be singing is a diminished fifth, not a true fifth. It's like ... You can see them nod and agree, but their eyes glaze over and they obviously have absolutely no idea what is happening.

While I realize not all vocalists read music, at least make an effort to try and absorb some of the information. Singing is all well and good but if you can't sing it right, it's just.

Ugh.

Maybe I'll offer my services and give basic sight reading classes.

I forgot how much I like American hamburgers in the last year. Europe's lovely, but it's just not the same, though there's a distinct lack of chaos over there. My mother wouldn't shut up about all the insanity over in the States.

Anyway, now that I'm settled in after my trip, I'd like to start offering piano or voice lessons to anyone who's interested. College kid needing extra money and all that. Price would depend on level of skill.

Well today's game was... interesting, to say the least. I got smashed in the nose, which hurt like hell (someone got a video of me after the game, as you can see).I'll probably have a black eye for a few days, but it was worth it because we ended up winning the game.

We didn't win anything, per se, as it's all in fun. But we did keep score this time and my team was the one with the most points.

Besides, it'll be a fun story to tell.
