I just booked our flights and hotel for the trip to Vancouver! I'm so excited, I've never been there before, and never been on vacation with anyone else.

We'll need to buy jackets when we get there. I'm gonna freeze my pretty little butt off if I try to wear the jackets they sell here.

If you're over the age of say, twenty, and you say "Soviet" when you mean "Russian"? I will think poorly of your intelligence. And I certainly won't work for someone who's unintelligent and rude - calling me 'babushka' on my way out of your office will not go unnoticed. I hope you didn't actually want that pretty Mercedes of yours to go unscratched. I made a few phone calls.

Winston? When would be best for you or Miss Boudreaux to have that interview? At least I know that you both are the height of professionalism.

Hello, everyone. My name is Irina. I come from Russia, but I've lived in the United States since about 1992. I was just given an invitation to this network - someone told me that it's a good place to network and job hunt? I could use one of those.

I have a background in corporate work, mostly technical, but I'm good around most industrial spaces. I can be your receptionist, your inside woman, your almost-anything.

I look forward to meeting all of you.

I've never used my powers so long or so extensively in the real world. I think I'm going to take a nap for a week. People really need to get over the need to gawk at things, it would make everyone's life a lot easier.

I hope I destroyed all the cameras. Guess we'll find out.

To go along with this truth-spouting weirdness, I got a new string of dreams. Hoorah. I guess it's not so bad. I continue to have problems staying in the van, and the whole CIA database living in my brain was apparently sent with good (but still mysterious) intentions. Broke up with my incredibly good-looking fake-girlfriend to pursue an incredibly-good looking real girlfriend (yay, go dream!Chuck), then got dumped by said real girlfriend for assuming she was working for terrorists (boo, dream!Chuck). Kissed the former fake-girlfriend - for the record, she kissed me - because we thought we were about to be blown up.

Let's see, what else ... Oh. The guy who destroyed my life to protect it is actually my former fake-girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, my little spy team gets in trouble but we save the day anyway, things at the Buy More continue to be just really messed up.

I'll say this, my dream life? Is never boring.

Probably because I don't stay in the van.

I think the Stark party last night was great. I mean, would it be anything else. Conveniently I got my suit just in time, but this morning I got something else from the dreams, too. And it's not the first time, obviously, but this one is ... I feel sort of emotional about it. Not sure why.

There's a picture in it - it's a compass - of this woman that I knew in my dreams. If I'm being honest, I'm pretty sure I loved her in my dreams. I've never met her in this world. I don't really even know much about her in the dreams. But looking at this picture brings a lot up. Is that weird?

Also, I'm glad I'm not afflicted with whatever's going on here right now. I'm sorry to everyone else, but I'm glad I still have my voice.

So I kinda just got fired was let go from my psuedo-celebrity bodyguard job.

Can't exactly say I'll miss it, but I'm pretty sure my bills will.

Seems I got three choices:

1) Try to join the local PD
2) Give up on the search for my partner's killer and go back home to face my mother try to rejoin the NYPD
3) Get a different gig altogether around here

Anybody need a former cop with military experience?

Did anyone else see Bill Nye the Science Guy on Dancing with the Stars tonight? That was almost painful to watch. Jack Osbourne was better than I thought.

And no, I didn't choose to watch the show. Annie was watching it, so I watched it with her.

My basement recording studio is almost finished, which is exciting, because I'll get to start laying down tracks. Doing this on my own has taken much longer than my other two records took.

In light of the recent events Stark Industries will be making a charitable contribution to Orange County's Disaster Relief Fund. If you have been effected by the events as of late and are in need of monetary help for whatever reason we urge to to contact this organization for help.

I've begun dreaming again. I had one out of order. First Scott dies and gets brought back and Kitty gets shot out into space to save Earth from a giant space bullet, then I dreamed of trapping the world's most powerful/second most powerful telepath in my brain and making him face the things he's done. Then I dreamed that I kissed a recently widowed man on his wife's grave and we started a school together. I don't know why that one makes me feel guilty.

All things being equal, I've had worse dreams.

I'm rather glad that little mess is over. Of course, the moment it was, this strange place decided to dump more dreams on me, as a welcome back to your body present. How thoughtful of it.

Tell me, do many of you dream of the deaths of your counterparts? It seems an oddly final thing for the powers to be to send to one, when all is said and done.

The painting I bought last night will be arriving tomorrow. I have to decide if I want to hang it before or after I redecorate. After seems most reasonable, there's no sense putting more holes than necessary in the walls.

We're going to need a loan, soon, which bank should we go through? And yes, it needs to be a bank because I want our credit to reflect our good purchasing habits. We're buying a house.

A local theatre troup and a nuclear attack? They must really think we're all a bunch of slack jawed dimwits. Is this what they do here? Make up ludicrous excuses for explainable events?

For those of you, who, like I, are not combatants, and who are running low on supplies, or need anything, please call Frost Enterprises at [number]. We have armed and armored delivery trucks and transport facilities out and about during this madness, and we will not be stopped by it. This is a dangerous time, and a dark one, but we can continue, as long as we are cautious, and careful.

If you do not need to go out, please do not. Emergency teams are trying to stem the tide, and the roads can be a bit tricky right now.

So, if anyone was wondering, Disneyland is closed until we are alien free. Guess this gives me time for my sun burn to go away. It's not as bad as it was the other day and my skin isn't hot enough to melt ice cubes anymore, but I'm still pretty red. With everything going on outside, I'm very happy that Huck stocked up on ice cream the other day, because I wouldn't want to go out in this chaos right now.

I've decided to accept the job offer from my uncle and stay in the area, though judging by what I can see out my window, I'm not sure I didn't make the decision too soon.

At least things are far from boring.

I don't

I can't

THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY WORDS FOR HOW NOT OKAY THIS WHOLE THING IS. Whatever, I always figured there were aliens, but I didn't think they were all 'oh, look, people, let's make a flesh beast' and I EXPECTED THIS TO HAPPEN WHEN I LIVED IN JAPAN because you know, Japan and fleshbeasts go like soba noodles and soy and now I'm rambling.

My BFF is fighting monsters and I kind of want to go hug my cousin but I'm stuck here again at Stark and I guess that's good. I'm going to build a robot that gives hugs now.

Alright, at first I thought I drank too much. What the fuck are those things? It's really not my idea of a good time. Are we stuck in B movie hell. I almost expect pandemonium like in those old monster movies, right up until I saw one of those things kill people.

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?

My cat, Scout, really does think she's a dog. She asked me why she can't poop outside today. I told her it was because she's an indoor cat, at which point she proceeded to scream CAT, WHERE? and bark rather loudly.

Should I just ... not tell her?

Damage control is the most painful thing ever.

Largely because the people behind our record label are getting a little... vocal in their displeasure about certain things. This might be a sign that things need to change.

When I got home last night from my boyfriend's apartment, I said goodnight to my father. When I awoke this morning, he was gone.

He had been ill for some time, and I had been expecting it. I have completed the necessary rituals like 末期の水, matsugo-no-mizu (moistening his lips with water) and closing our 仏壇, our shrine, against evil spirits. However, I now must contend with the logistics for helping distant relatives fly here from Japan and making sure all goes well with the authorities.

Therefore, I ask. (1) Would anyone happen to work at a hotel or know a good one where I might get a group rate? (2) I have not been able to find an answer - is an autopsy required? I would not want it. (3) I had other business - namely a real estate closing - which was to happen this week, and now it must be pushed back. Do I simply contact my lawyer?

I am sorry to trouble the network with such broad questions. I have studied funeral customs and how to properly handle Father's resting place; I have not studied mundane details.

In my newest dream, I'm on my way to becoming a knight. I'm pretty sure that most of them think I'm a man. The others hate me because I'm not one. Not that it matters, I'm training and becoming something brilliant. Someone worthy.

I just don't know what that is yet.

I'm kind of glad that I don't have any pets talking to me. It's bad enough with the pigeons.

With all this surveillance crap going on, sometimes the best ways to move information (and other goods) are the old fashioned ways. Like on foot.

I dare say that the dream version of myself is an utter ass. And that is putting it mildly. I slept in today, a rare pleasure, but it turned rather foul. I dreamed of being a complete bastard to my dad and pretty much everyone I knew, of having four children, and marrying for money and politics and... I wish I had never started dreaming.

I never thought I'd miss the rain of England, but it's just so... Bright and cheery here in California. How do you all stand it? Everyone skateboarding, and smiling, and the sun!

Oh the sun.

It's simply awful.

S'pose I'll have to invest in Coppertone stocks to keep from becoming a giant freckle beast.

Well, I certainly like the weather here in Southern California. It's as pretty as they say. It's real nice there's a message board for people to meet people, too. Not that I have much problem with that, I got friends everywhere waiting to be made.

I'm Belle, I'm from Louisiana originally but I've been everywhere, really. I'm an Aries, I enjoy long conversations, loud music, and good food. I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to meet all of you.

Well, this is a fine how do you do. Looking around, thinking you know what is what, and then learning of this little bulletin board. And discovering all sorts of interesting things. Dreams? Battles? Robots? How very odd.

I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Winston Frost, CEO of Frost Enterprises, and recent part-time immigrant to the area. I've been seeing to some West Coast business, and the renovations of the Frost Compound here in Irvine. Lovely area, isn't it?

I suppose I should say it is a pleasure to meet people and all, but I have no clue, as yet, if that is so. Let us instead say that it is already... interesting.

How unethical would it be to go to a college and absorb all the things the professors there know about psychology? I'd state my motivation, but it doesn't terribly matter, I think. Not when the question is about what is right, and not what is necessary.

Do you want to go visit the UC Irvine campus once things have become temporarily stable again?
