Today is the day! The first annual Dunhaven Youth Center 5k Run/Walk begins this morning at 9:30! You still have time to go down and register.

Astrid says she's been training all week, and she's getting pretty good with the proper motivation! Gotta go out there and support Dad!

P.S. If you didn't know, it's officially Sixlets season. Time to fight the children for candy.

Karaoke on Saturday night. Sign-ups staaaaaaaaaaaart



now.

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

Happy birthday to the very best big brother there ever was. 🎉 🎈 🎂 🤗

I love you to pieces, Max, and genuinely do not know where I'd be without your love and support. Prepare for a true tackle hug when I see you later.

It's probably too early in the semester to just rely on pie for meals, right?

DREW

I have a very incredibly super very (two verys, that's how very it is) important question to ask you.

DREW, JASMINE, BENJY, HANNAH, & SAMUEL [added after Drew convo]

As you know, Drew's birthday is next weekend! 🎈 So we obviously need to celebrate. If you could find yourselves available on Sunday for a movie followed by some food and cake, that would be awesome. 😁

I saw this on social media: ( Cut for image! )

And while I don't think there's anything wrong with venting your problems when needed, I do love the idea about venting about joy. So with this holiday weekend coming and it being Friday and all those sorts of things, I want to hear what you're excited about, Dunhaven! Maybe something in the way future, maybe something you already did and are still riding the excitement waves in -- anything that has you all pumped.

As for me, I just finished unpacking and decorating my room last night so it feels even more cozy and just a little while ago I finished talking to my adviser and I officially (finally) declared a Social Work major. It all feels pretty good. 🎉

Okay, your turn!

I don't usually post publicly about this dream stuff, but I'm just...curious. How many of you find a large amount of similarities between yourself and your dream self, and how many of you find that you're completely different from the person you dream of?

I can't decide which one is worse. I'm...very similar to my person, even things that happened long before I started dreaming of him seem to have an echo in these dreams. tbh sometimes it kind of reminds me of that movie Us, like we're tethered to one another, and what happens to one happens to the other in at least some capacity. Only, luckily neither world is a dark underground bunker and also I don't think my dream-self is capable of murdering me or vice-versa. Anyway. Sometimes it sucks, but then I was also thinking it probably sucks to dream of someone really different, too, especially if they were like...a bad guy, or something.

Anyway. I guess I'm just kind of wondering what other people experience on this front.

THEO, ARIA, LYLA, RHYS, KIERA

I need someone to talk me through something that's been on my mind since before this latest round of memories even became a thing. I need to know if I'm just being impulsive, or if it's a bad idea, because it really doesn't feel like a rash, or bad idea. It feels right. But I also know that I'm still in a weird place mentally so I could just really use a second opinion before I do something that isn't received well.

And that was all very vague and probably ominous, I realize. Basically, I want to ask Danielle to marry me. I just know that, whatever obstacles we still need to get through, it's easier when I'm getting through them with her. I don't want to wait until everything's perfect because nothing will ever be perfect. That's not life. I want to do this messy, imperfect, unpredictable life by her side.

So yeah. There it is. What do you think?

Am I the only one who is incredibly ready for classes to start back up for the Fall semester? Just to be able to move back into the dorms? Because you parents are LITERALLY DRIVING YOU INSANE? No? Just me??

It's no secret that winter is my favorite season, but spring and summer do bring an abundance of flowers and I am all about that. I'm very lucky that I get to enjoy the beauty of the stables, and make my home into the flowering oasis that it is during the summer.

I'm hoping to impress the importance of nature, and the care of animals in Astrid early. So check out who is helping Mama in the flower garden this morning.

Don't worry. We enjoyed our tummy time and didn't stay out long in the heat or sun. If she doesn't totally tune me out, she's going to be a master of identifying flowers by the time she's old enough to get her hands in the dirt (without eating it), too.

I had this discussion in person today, but it seems like the kind of knowledge that should be shared on the network.

If you had a pokemon companion, who would it be?

Mine, obviously, is Growlithe.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to file a form or something, but seems like I finally stumbled into those dreams (or Dreams?) that everyone here's got.

So.



Hi.

I am so tired.

( filter to lyllianna, cut for got spoilers )

Father's Day, like Mother's Day, are tough holidays for me when they come, though that doesn't mean I can't appreciate them. In a way that definitely makes me sad, I think that I might appreciate them more now than I ever did before. But, I wanted to wish a happy day to all the dads out there, but also to my brother, who took on a role he never should have had to in order to make sure my life didn't change anymore than it already had and gave up a lot to take care of me.

I love you, Max. Thank you for being the best big brother I could have asked for, and then some.
