In case there was any question, Dunhaven, I've got really unreasonably adorable kids.

Happy Tuesday, Dunhaven. We'll make it through this week yet.

REI

I have Hana news. Good news, I should say.

I'm sorry about the title of this article and the tech itself, since I'm pretty sure there are people pretty tightly wound around Star Wars here, but this is amazing. It sounds like a lot more development is needed, but that tech is just really very cool.

JUN

Let me just apologize ahead of time for the stream of consciousness you're inevitably about to receive from me.

I was going to post a picture from the wedding on Instagram because we were so fancy, but I realized that I didn't know if I was allowed to do that. You know that I don't post anything particularly offensive or inappropriate online, but the last thing I want to do is accidentally make things complicated for you. I know we go around town and obviously went to the wedding together, but I also know that's different than me tagging you in a picture when you're, you know, a public figure and I'm, you know, me. Should I make my social media accounts private? Or get rid of them? Or, I don't know, not use them?

I'm sorry if this is weird and presumptuous. I mean, I don't even know if people actually care about that kind of thing. But I guess I just want to know what you think so I don't make your life difficult.

I'm feeling particularly exhausted today thanks to the all too predictable government news coming out of my homeland this morning, so I wanted to do something that might serve as a pick me up for others. If you go to Java Chip today before noon, literally anything you order is on me. I just request that you do something nice for someone else today. It doesn't have to be big. Just pass on some goodness, that's all.

TEXTS TO REI

-- Are you free today?
-- I'd like to see you the girls.
-- [...] And you.

TEXT TO JUN

-- Are donuts from DC for those in need an every Monday occurrence? Because they should be.

TEXTS TO JUN

-- FYI I just finished brunch with my mom so expect to be pestered by her in the next ten seconds.
-- I told her to leave you alone while you're at work (note that I'm totally following my own advice here) but I can literally see her typing on her phone right now from my car.
-- You're welcome for that intense forewarning.

How's everyone's Monday going so far? Do I need to bring donuts back from DC for anyone?

ASH

I didn't dream last night, did I?

XING

So...I've got news for you that will be incredibly shocking and unexpected, I'm sure.

LUCY

What are the odds that me dating again could still garner bad press at this point? It's been long enough, hasn't it? I mean, your answer won't change anything, either way, but I'm just wondering how much extra work I'm going to need to apologize to you for.

WHO: Jun Li and Ash Liang
WHEN: Evening of July 14
WHERE: Ash's apartment
SUMMARY: After a few weeks of separation, Jun finds himself at Ash's apartment and they have an overdue conversation.
WARNINGS: None
 
( 'Please, just tell me that I feel this way because you're you.' )

Now that I've seen my girls, I feel as though it's safe to actually use this network and say hello. It's been a while since I had a permanent address in Dunhaven and it feels pretty good, all things considered.

How is everyone? I wouldn't mind some life updates.

ASH

I know it's a weeknight and it's late, but would you maybe want to grab a drink with me? Just one, since I still have to work in the morning.

Hi, friends.

It's been a long while since we've done one of these and, though I no longer need the data for my sociology class, I do think they've been very productive in terms of discussion. So here's another anonymous post for you! Again, you can turn on the anon filter and no one will know who you are, or you can just respond as yourself, whether because you're not ready to reveal who you're dreaming about, or whatever the case may be.

Tonight's question is: If you could say something to someone you knew/know in your dream world that you can't say here for whatever reason, what would it be?

I would like to preface this by saying that I love my job. It's incredibly rewarding and my students are honestly great. I've enjoyed the heck out of teaching them to conjugate verbs and all kinds of vocabulary.

That being said. Tomorrow is the last day of school and I am ready.

To really kick off the summer, I'm proposing a fun night out. Not just for educators! I'm extending this invitation to whoever sees this and wants to hang out with me for an extended period of time. Karaoke was a good time the last time we hit it up, so I'm further proposing this gathering to take place at the Pourhouse, tomorrow night. Have some drinks, eat some bar food, listen to some folks butcher classic songs. It's the best of times, really.

So, come! Hang out with me. It'll be fun.

JUN

Are Senators allowed to go to bars?

We all know this is why we do the job, anyway. 🌮🌯

ASH

It's going to be a late night for me, but [...] I was wondering how likely it was that I could see you when I make it back to Dunhaven tonight. I just [...] need to.

A few weeks ago, someone was anonymously talking about dreams where they're wires and an androi not human. I was wondering if that person might be willing to talk to me privately, like under a filter. I understand if you'd rather not or would want to remain anonymous and that's fine, but I thought that I would throw it out there and ask. I just have some questions.

Not that I'm dreaming or Stars, everyone is dreaming, Ash. Who gives a crap anym

FRIENDS/FAMILY OF ASHA & STELLA

As I know you all know, Asha and Stella both had birthdays this week. Because they are my favorites, as well as beingthe very best of people that deserve good things and being that this is the first time in years that I've been able to celebrate their birthdays with them, I wanted to throw a party for them, even if it's going to be after their birthdays. So, I propose a joint celebration of the surprise variety at the Pourhouse on Friday, May 17. It's karaoke night, so it should be ridiculous. I will make sure that they all get there by 7PM, if the rest of you could try to be there a bit beforehand for a proper surprise.

ASHA & STELLA

I've decided that we need a night out. I like wine nights in, but we should have a change of pace and scenery. I think this night out should be this upcoming Friday on the 17th. If you disagree, I might get huffy and none of us want that.

JUN

I know I already said it, but thank you again for letting me come over the other day. I really needed it.

JUN

Hey.

I know that it's probably selfish of me to ask because I really don't actually want to cause trouble for you now that you're all recognizable, but I was wondering if you'd want to just hang out and not talk about dreams again. I You're It's honestly okay if you can't and I would understand. I just thought I would ask.

First of all: HAPPY NURSES WEEK.

Second, if you are ever having an even remotely muddy brainspace for whatever reason, getting to babysit your niece is a very good way to distract and remind you of all the wonderful you have in your life. If you don't have a niece (or nephew) for whatever reason, here's a picture of mine from when we were making pancakes for dinner. ( Cut for image! )

Yes, her perfection is undeniable. It's true.
