I'm still having issues reading... And I just don't like any of the books I'm finding.

Say hello to Olivia Beth Dashing( 4lbs 2oz and 13in long), And Benjamin Elijah Dashing (4lbs 8oz, 15in long). Éponine is still exhausted, they were born 7:07am and 7:26am this morning (8 weeks early, the little things). Ben was born first. They have to stay in the hospital for like three weeks, so does Éponine. I can be contacted through text as I am not going to leave their side. They even have a larger bed we were moved to that we can share. I am so happy to be a dad.

Wanted to offer an excerpt of a paper for a final thesis for my courses.

( Cute for long paragraph )

I never really realized, before, what it is to have a family. I mean people who are related to you, who are a part of you, legally. This, having a son is the first time in my life that I have known what that is like, and the feeling is all at once amazing. To know that there is someone I belong to, who belongs to me, and that there is nothing that will take away that kind of bond...it's got a surety I've never thought about before.

Alain is eleven, turning twelve, so given the years between us right now, I'm MUCH more like his big brother than his dad when it comes to age. I mean, I've just turned twenty according to the record my friends keep as far as birthdates go, and here I am with a twelve year old. Most children would, I think, take advantage of that a little, but he does not seem to want to at all.

Generally, he seems happiest if I give him a piece of clay or read to him at night. We just started Harry Potter, and I have to say that I sort of identify with him right now, finding out about Hogwarts and his parents and everything, and finally having a place, people, with whom he fits.

That's me right now too, and this one little boy is all the reason for it. I don't know what this universe is doing much of the time, but I am too happy, no, too content to very much CARE right now.

...On another note though, all of you with children here, of school age, what DO you plan to do with that? Alain tells me that Combeferre, Joly, Jehan, Marius and I were mostly the teachers for our four where he comes from, but what should we do, legally, to make sure this is all acceptable? I don't mean to let anything tear him from me now that he's here.

I'd better go. We have a painting class in an hour and I do want to be sure Alain can join in with no trouble.

Hello everyone. I'd rather like to point you to my blog, and my thoughts on this season, and the things I've learned this year if that's all right?

...Thanks.

My friends are all ASSHOLES.

It occurs to me we've all done the irresponsible thing we got on Courfeyrac, Enjolras, and Combeferre about this fall, but simply done it as...most of a group at least, with a few exceptions. Well, one exception anyway. Some of us, and I am not naming names, but you can see that certain members of our little crew were not exactly dealing well with being here so the decision was made to extend a planned expedition to the Christmas markets a little earlier than we had planned, and to stay a little later than we ought have done so.

Paris, for those of us who had not been since we ended in this world, and the Midi as well, for as many of us had places there to call home, were amazing, and the shopping and the foods and well, Provence is something special as someone who never saw it in his life before this, if I am allowed to say that, and we had some needed time to work on and sort some things out all whilst staying in the attic of a small inn with wine and good bread and cheese and...we are not all resolved by far, but it was the most honest and real conversation I have had with my friends since I arrived here, so we can count that much as progress, I'll assume.

In short, I think that it was good for us to spend the time with each other again, and learning how we work. And really, we ought to have said we were going, but emergencies and all of that and executive decisions needed to be made.

So. Here we are again, I suppose. Not quite certain what comes next, but better able to face it together?

So. Suppose you want to set somebody up so they get fired from their job that you know nothing about.

How do you go about starting the process?

Today was, quite honestly, the worst day of my life since arriving here. I will not be dramatic and say the worst day of my life ever. That was well the day I was let go from the factory with no real reason as to do it when I was thirteen and had been a good worker for three years and had no where to go or anything to do. Six years ago was the worst time of my life then, clearly.

That said though, the worst time of my life here so far was equally bad in terms of what I've come to expect from this world. ( my bad day. a whining ramble )
I made a mistake and major error in judgement. Not a dangerous or tragic one, but I've proved myself ignorant yet again, in front of people who know so much more than I and always will. Oh I'll be over it tomorrow but I realize now I had no right to ask it, and I deserve the ridicule I've gotten, and will get for it.

I'm not saying to pity me.I brought it on myself and I'll be fine tomorrow, once I've gone to work and done the few things I am relatively decent at. It was wrong of me to hope for more and I've been foolish in the process and presumptive and...I'm sorry if I have done that to any of you, but it wasn't my intent. I must not try to rise above where I've been placed, only to do my part and I do understand that now. Please forgive me any hard feelings a worthless fool who sought much more than he deserves has given you here.

Can someone please tell me what the bloody hell is going on? Where am I? Am I.....am I dead?

New things I have learned this week:

The vulcan nerve pinch is, actually ineffective, but one can, indeed, knock someone to the ground with a single punch.

Just because one's flatmate is a rich poet and one is a working class sort who grew up in the streets does not mean it is a good idea to tell said flatmate that he can, in fact, attempt to prove the theory on you.

...Seriously. Jehan should never again be allowed to punch someone in the face. I have had punches from the police that hurt less. Is this a ginger thing?

Lying to Enjolras can, and does, have positive effects on occasion when you inform him that a double dose of NyQuil will help to bring his voice back so much faster.

Courfeyrac has picked up a key to our flat. We were forced to change the locks last night.

...Loki, the Norse God of Chaos and Mischief apparently had sexual relations with a horse and then gave birth to its horse child.

Allowing one's over-educated rich poet flatmate to shout this fact in the face of a man claiming to BE Loki and not attempting to step in simply because you wished to see what would happen is not, in fact, being a good friend.

...Even if it was amusing.

...ESPECIALLY because it was amusing.

...I regret that I was not a good friend in that instance, actually, even though I was owed one after that punch, but I do not regret that I was potentially a bad friend when it came to the NyQuil suggestion I sent to Combeferre.

Combeferre and I in fact have the life mission of rescuing the rest of our friends from themselves.

...Except Bahorel. You walked into that yourself and I am NOT getting involved.

And off to move stock with me. More very well may follow after work.

A question has come up among those of us who have remained sane throughout this entire ordeal and I will ask it because well, it seems reasonable to go ahead and do so, even though I understand perfectly well that not everything we see on television is actually real.

...can the vulcan nerve pinch actually work?

A query.

Should one wish to maintain the profession they maintained in the old lifetime, what is to be done about obtaining it, particularly those which require a good deal of training. How might I, for instance, come to serve the side of law and order again?

...This is what happens when you take a house to the head? Faba, I This is insane...

I want to go home...

Since there has been an abundance of people from France, of all different times. I was wondering if anyone is interested in a holiday home my partner and I have.

It is collecting dust in this time and I believe it could be put to better use. It will come furnished of all but the four bedrooms, finished attic, and the basement. but we can assist with that. All expenses will be covered as heating wireless internet, and electricity bills are sent directly to is.

It is 255 sqm on a plot of 1025 sqm. It has has 1 hall, 1 large living room, 1 large room, 1 office, 1 bow windows, and a wonderful kitchen. As well as two cellars, one small cottage, 1 double garage and 1 storage, all surrounded by a garden and park area.

If you are interested, please do not be afraid to contact here. And if you are having any trouble with money, my partner and I offer something so long as those with mental issues see to it that their health is looked over. And that you try and help people as you can.

...guys?

Miyuki-chan? Ya-chan? Nao-chan? Reika-chan? Anyone?

Would someone care to inform me, in as complex or simple terms as you would like, in whatever language you prefer, how I was on my bed, in my rooms, with a guest one moment, and have now managed to find myself in England near two hundred years from when I left? Where I am certainly an object of curiosity whenever I step onto the street or open my mouth to boot?

Not SO different from life at home, I suppose really, but I am told this is the place to learn and discuss what has happened, and so here I am.

Should my mistress come after me, I would quite like knowing who to blame.

...the hell?
