Nothing like dreaming that your father has set you up to be married, but none of them want to be married to you because you look like a man.

Nice one.

Do you ever have someone come into your work and then really hope they come in again even though you know you work in a mall food court and that person just doesn't seem the type to frequent the mall at all ever?

That was distressingly specific, wasn't it?

Youth Orchestra/Symphony/Whatever We Are Right Now rehearsal tonight should be a decent enough distraction. I do so enjoy Vivaldi.

If anyone is curious this is what we're working on tonight and have been for the last both too long and not long enough.

Now you all know. I like fake margaritas, but if you come near me with that non-alcoholic pisswater beer I will glare at you.

Your face is in every corner of this house, and etched on every surface. I can't even look at my roof without seeing you. I can't even lie on my own grass without thinking about you.

You don't have to forgive me and I'm not going to ask for it. I owe you an explanation in detail beyond what I just posted, and I think I'm finally strong enough to give you that, if you want it.

I hear you've moved on, and I'm glad for you.

I'm now officially Candy Francesca Quackenbush LeBeau. Yes. I'm Candy LeBeau. And I don't even do porn!

I'm just glad nothing tried to attack/eat/maim us during the wedding. In my dreams, the soul that shared my body got killed during her wedding ceremony, so I'm glad no dragons tried to choke me. Pictures forthcoming to friends and so's the party. You'll get your cake, Queen.

Bonne Bastille, everyone! On this day, a bid for freedom was made, they struck the match and France was on her way to being free. Incidentally, on this day, both in our past lives, and 22 years ago here, our good friend Enjoy Your Ass was born.

What the hell. Did it just type Enjoy Your...

My best friend has suddenly been given a new nickname in addition to the manga he opened at midnight when we put on the bootleg of 1789: les amnants de la Bastille, now that all of us can understand enough French to follow it, and broke out the decent cheese.

So uh. Happy Fall Of The Bastille and Happy Birthday, Assy! I hope he uh...Enjoys himself today!

If I have learned one thing this week, it's that faith's really, really hard to hang onto and maintain. It's worth it, but it can be hard when you feel like everything is falling apart and you have almost nothing to cling to, and barely know where you are at any point in time. I spent some time in mental 1830's land while still being here, and I've got to say that made the whole thing scarier and even let a few things slip while I was in between myself and other me and I might have mentioned something I didn't mean to tell people about me because I was freaking out about everything but... the thing is...

Hanging on to that faith, or having other people, like Jehan and Enjolras, and Arya and Alyssa, and Judy and everybody else who I was told had asked about me or was praying for me helping to give ME faith when I needed it most, and the miracle of Gavroche waking up again...

It makes hanging on to that faith, or finding it again, that much better, and that much easier to work with in the end.

Thank you all for the support and love, and...good luck against the zombies? I have stitches in my lip and I"m not equipped to handle those guys with an epee so I'll leave the fighting to those of you who CAN do it, but if you need anything like food runs, etc, or a couch to crash on, I'm pretty sure I can at least provide you that. And prayers that they're gone soon.

I love this network and how willing you are to support all of us. It really feels like it's another family. Thanks everybody.

Hello Valarnet.

Last night I learned something about a friend that I didn't know before. Namely that his home situation is...a lot worse than he let on. When you make a noise to shock your friend out of a fugue state, he shouldn't snap back to reality, glance at you with his eyes darting everywhere and apologizing for "whatever I did this time, Dad, I won't do it again, I'm sorry, seriously" while he cowers in front of you, when he's already in the damn hospital for stitches.

I...don't know what to do about that. We've all been keeping an eye on him today, alternating with his boyfriend but...I'm scared for him, pissed at his parents, AND scared for Gavroche, who's in in a coma. There are some days that life just doesn't pay, I fucking swear.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

This is one of my favorite holidays because as a child who grew up with politics in the house there was nothing better than celebrating this holiday. I grew up admiring the way our country works and had a lot of great experiences while we were a political family. Not everything is perfect about us, but I'm proud of who we are and the amazing people that fight for our freedom. I'm still not completely sold on staying out of politics when I get a little older, but for now I'll just enjoy being a regular citizen again.

My parents are on their way here to spend the long weekend with me (my sister as well) and I couldn't be more excited. It's not as exciting as being in Washington DC to celebrate, but we'll be going to see Josh Groban at the Hollywood Bowl. I'm so ready to just have some fun and hopefully make my dad grill some hamburgers this weekend.

Have a safe and fun evening!

Is it common to start getting migraines when you're a. a guy, and b. 20? I've never had this happen before and I'm confused. Also, what do you do when you appear to have been replaced by your family? I was dealing with it before but now I've gotten another new "sibling" and it feels like shit on top of everything else cause I have issues not being the only child, I guess. Advice on either topic?

The more I dream, the more I hate these dreams. The feeling of them, the sheer ugliness of the man I am in them. And it only gets worse. The sheer number of time traveling despots, dark overlords, super-villains of every caliber, always threats and destruction, all of that all the time in my dream world. It seems like nothing could possibly get done there. Not really. So many idiots trying to so do many stupid things, including my dream self.

And some of it strikes too close to home. Far too close.

Tell me, Valarnet. What do you do when you dream things that make you want to beat your fists bloody on a wall?

I am wondering if anyone has ever come across a girl called Mary Eunice McKee.

She would be in her twenties, I think; Caucasian, blonde, with big blue eyes.

She would be sweet and willing to learn, most likely. But there might also be a chance that she would be sly. Manipulative. Disdainful of authority and even crude.

I hope she isn't real. If you have ever met her or know of her, would you be willing to send me a message? It may be very important.

Private to Oliver Queen: I'm going to be late coming over today. I'm going to do something I haven't done in a while - go to Mass.

Okay, I think this is going to sound completely insane, but I have to ask it.

I haven't seen my boyfriend, Oliver Queen, in days. But what I have seen is violence in the news that seems designed to point the finger at him. Firebombings and murders have happened, and if I didn't know better, I'd think it was Oliver himself committing these crimes.

It's not. Even if Oliver had it in him, which he doesn't, he'd ... it's just not him.

I want someone to look into this. Private investigator, whatever. I'll pay what I can. Just, it might be dangerous, and if hard decisions have to be made, I'd rather have proof. I love him. I'm scared shitless.

I'm going to focus on community learning, I think, so that I can come back somewhere like the ranch, and really get the things done there that I'd like to help with.

Dear Asshole at today's work party:

Yes, that is a one-year coin from AA. That does not mean it's fucking funny to swap your bloody Mary for my virgin Mary. I'd about finished the Goddamn thing before I realized there was vodka in it. It wasn't easy to put down the last of it, either. That doesn't count against my sober date, either, because I didn't drink it on purpose, so screw you.

Enjoy your trip to HR - Love, the old bitch in the corner office

I...haven't seen Ollie or Roy since Saturday morning. They WERE going to do a practice thing after we had breakfast, but somewhere between throwing bacon and blueberry chocolate chip pancakes at each other (boys. I don't even) and the part where they came back from shooting to hang around all day, they're just...gone.

I mean, is the OC having some weirdness that's keeping them away or should I be calling the cops right about now? I'm FINE, I mean I've been alone a lot longer than this but...I don't know. Worried, I guess.

I didn't even know I cared.

Those awkward family car trips when you just want to get out and bang your head against something before you shoot somebody in the head? Yeah, that happened today. My insane brother, seriously, Ollie is a sweetheart, but he's got more than a couple screws loose if you ask me, decided it was at last time to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a Llama Owner last week, and today we went to pick his baby llama out.

I wish that i was kidding. I really, really do. An interminably long time in a car with your giddy as hell brother, and nobody past the age of thirty should bounce up and down in their seat for an entire two hours, really, your pissy agitated nephew and the best friend of your brother who currently doesn't get why the nephew isn't speaking to him and keeps trying attempts at conversation, to pick up a hoofed animal that can make wool and spit in your eye is...well, so not my idea of actually being fun.

I get that I should like, treasure family time or something, but come on. Roy was bitching and moaning, Ollie was humming, Barton was trying to make conversation, Barton's dog, who was actually the least of the problems, but looked like she wanted to fix the bitching, was there too, and then Barton's hearing aids went off when we entered one of the barns all about to kill each other.

He finally let me pull out my ipod on the way home, not that it worked for long out in the back country but seriously. This was weird. I'm not that sure I want to go ahead and do that kind of family thing again, you know?

The trip was kind of awkward because I'd tried to force a resolution on an issue that has nothing to do with me, so, as far as family trips went? Weird city. But I'm pretty sure that it was worth it, and she's settling into her new home quite nicely. I can't wait until she's able to show!

I've been thinking of taking a cooking course, in my free time. Less to learn how to cook and more to meet other people who share my passion, so I'd be looking for something fairly advanced. I'm something of an epicure, I suppose, and I would love to be able to share my love of cooking with someone other than my daughter.

Perhaps if there are others in the area who enjoy food as much as I do, we could start a little group of some sort.

At least I see how I got possessed now, which wasn't a whole lot of fun to watch, and like I said last summer, some of you are now required to strike me down should I wind up susceptible to that kind of thing HERE. I mean I'm not gonna feel guilty over something Dream Clint did while he was possessed but I can make damn sure that should I get within a bright blue glowstick here, somebody's ready to go ahead and cut me down for my own good, you know?

Weird night. Really, REALLY weird night on top of a really weird day at competition and a weird morning of dismantling camp as well. Sorry, but it's weird to go from Middle Ages to Superhero back to Middle Ages to packing up your household's tents and equipment into your modern U-Haul.

Today, I had a letter, cosigned by their lawyer, informing me that I have been formally disowned, with the agreement that tuition for the next semester (and following) "will be covered, provided that you manage to pass the semester, and contingent upon your remaining free from academic probation status".

My family name and fortune may be retained if I "return to Massachusetts to complete (your) course of study at an approved university, agreeing to a position within the firm upon (your) graduation" and "cease the antics learned in California and grow up".

There's even a form for me to fill out and sign and date to indicate my decision, along with a place for a witness to sign it for me.

I shouldn't be surprised. I really shouldn't be surprised and it's exactly what I wanted but I can't help hating them a lot right now. It's not the money. It's the way they decided to do it that...

I guess I shouldn't have expected more, but I'll survive. I took two pairs of shoes, my boots (yeah I was a little teary there. I'm man enough to say it) and some clothes in to sell today and I've emerged okay for all the major expenses, dropped off some resumes, and I've been taking a look at my expenses this afternoon. It's kind of shocking and depressing and disgusting really:

Courf's Monthly Budget Attempt (Current) )

So, clearly, I've got some big decisions to make, even once I've GOT a job, considering this is what I'm doing AFTER rent. Dropping lessons isn't an option I'm remotely entertaining and if that means I'm getting shampoo at the dollar store, cutting back on the coffee, stopping with the clothes, and making some changes, I'm willing to do it.

There are a lot more important things to consider, sure, but for now, it's a start?

I am so very, very, overwhelmed...

So seriously, network? I think we can all agree that the drama we just had sucks and anybody who'd believe, well, almost any of the Skeeter stories is probably insane. So, you know, this has totally been in my head for you guys, and well, Cosette's Dad, Cosette, guys, other people that I don't know who shit happened to and it completely sucks, I've got something to offer you:

So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.

But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I'll be there for you, like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.


So yeah, network. You guys have been a really BIG source of support and shit and I'll do the same if you want to talk or whatever else? Cosette's Dad, seriously, even if you have a secret past that's none of our business, I don't think any of us love you any less. I mean you took a bunch of crazy college kids, who are pretty weird and kinda obnoxious if you don't know us, into your house, let me have an Oscar party and just sort of went with it and were really really awesome. So uh, we still love you and you're still you and everything. And everybody else that got targeted? I pretty much love all of you too. This network is like a really weird dysfunctional family so, you know. If you want to talk or something...

Sadly, the conclave has rejected my bid for office.

Pope Francis is giving his first blessing as I type this. I admit I haven't been following this as closely as I thought I would be, but it's exciting all the same. The first pope from the New World too. This is, I don't know. It's kind of awesome. I was AROUND the last time this happened, but I didn't care as much.

Now that I'm sort of getting back to my roots, a little bit, I kind of care a lot. This is one of those times when you really really hope your religion doesn't continue fucking things up because it's getting a fresh start. I'm not gonna say that it NEGATES any past screw ups the church as an organization has had but I'm still kind of hopeful that maybe we can start to put things right.

Okay, I confess that for a second there, while the crowd was waving the Argentinian flag, Don't Cry For Me, Argentina was flying through my head. I don't think ANYBODY couldn't have made that leap.

I...don't even know what I wanted to say here. Just that I'm kind of overwhelmed by all of this I guess?

And the whole pope thing has me feeling guilty about a lot of stuff I've done and haven't done the last few years. Is it better to tell people you lied to them about something that's unimportant, or just hope they never find out, especially when you don't really WANT for them to know the truth? I'll...be working on that I guess.

But...Pope. It's good. I hope!

So let's be honest, and we'll call that one a massive Thea fuck up. Not dismissing but just calling it like it is. I have hurt people and I'm sorry and I have no idea how you start apologizing for the fucked up shit like this. I knew what I was doing, and I did it anyway because...I don't even know why it happened.

I think it's really important that I figure out WHY it did so I don't wind up doing it again to somebody else, so that's what I'm mostly gonna be working on the next several weeks. I have no idea what you do to come back from this level of fuck up other than stay the hell away from the person you hurt, apologize, which sounds stupid and trite and nobody's gonna buy at this level, and...Yeah. The parts that follow are where I'm hitting walls.

So I'm that bitch who got caught mid pretty heavy makeout by her boyfriend, ex boyfriend, with another guy. I'd like to own it and repair it but some stuff you can't fix and I get that. Doesn't mean I don't want to TRY.

There is a filibuster going on in Washington right now. A senator has talked and "answered questions" for twelve hours and fifteen minutes. He is allowed to talk without yielding the floor for as long as he can, so as to delay a vote.

When a filibuster is happening, nobody's allowed to leave the Capitol building. Not one person. Not even the damn janitor.

So yeah. I feel sorry for everyone except the moron at the podium right about now.
