dunhaven; ic community.

I'm not a big social network sort of guy, outside of my pages for my business (check out Sparks Custom Homes, we're on facebook, instagram and twitter), but does anyone else follow the Iditarod? Yeah, I didn't follow it either, not until the other day. One of the mushers posted brief profiles of her dogs on twitter, along with photos, and I've been hooked ever since. You can see it here. (She posted another thread here after she narrowed it down to her final 14, but it's worth reading the first thread first.) Suddenly I'm rooting for a dogsled team.

Almost makes me want a dog.

This speaks to my soul.

We are a few days into what is (hopefully?!) the last semester of my undergraduate career.

Whaaaaaat??? It's gone by so fast.

LGBTQ FRIENDS (not including Francis this time ;) ):

Sooooooo... these dreams and all that. Has anyone's dreams not matched up with, you know, your own sexuality, gender identity, etc? It's not making me question anything I feel (yet?), but I know what's probably coming, so I was curious how other people have felt about it. And what if I meet someone who's dreaming about Arwen one day and they have expectations? Am I worrying about stuff that's just not going to be as weird as I'm worried about?

FRANCIS:

Hi. I just wanted to say I really like you.

TEXT TO JACK MOREHEAD:

-- Hi, babe
-- What are you up to today?
-- Lyllia's probably having the baby soon(ish?) and I'm sort of fr and I'm not very good at sitting around just waiting 😟

Has anyone else had embarrassing moments they can only explain by the presence of these dreams, or whatever you want to call them?

For example, this morning when I ordered my coffee at Java Chip, I ordered in Khuzdul.

It's good to see you again, Dunhaven.

I say that like I went somewhere very far away for a very long time, when in reality, I haven't even been 30 miles away. It's a long 22+ miles, however. It almost feels like a different world.

I'm Asha Freeman. I lived here for my undergrad, and I've been missing this town something fierce, so when a job offer came by not too far away from here, it seemed like it was meant to be. So here I am. What's new around here? I saw Grandma's is still here, thank God.

WHO: Sarah Grant & Thomas Corvin
WHEN: Friday, Jan 25
WHERE: Dunhaven High!
SUMMARY: Some of Steve bleeds over into Sarah, and then Sarah makes a new friend.
WARNINGS: Naaaah.

( 'Let me guess, French teacher?' )

WHO: Quincy & Violet
WHEN: hmm let's say today
WHERE: Their cabin
SUMMARY: Q & V get a little more in touch with their inhuman sides
WARNINGS: Umm, there will be a mild earthquake in the Dunhaven area today. ;)

( 'I'll be here every step of the way.' )

As grateful as I am for the opportunity to learn here in Dunhaven, I do still wish that my prior education was enough for a medical license here. I could have gone immediately into research from where I was, but my passion has always been with the patients themselves, not locked away in a laboratory (although, of course, I appreciate all of the work that happens in the labs as well). And it has been helpful to learn about the education system here and about how hospitals operate, if I'm to stay in this country. But - as my father would say - there are moments when it feels as though I'd wasted many years this way. Usually at about 5 am during a night shift in the emergency department.

I'm halfway through, however. By next summer, I'll be done. It's hard to believe how fast the last year and a half have gone by.

FRIENDS & FAMILY:

I don't know how I'm going to make it through the next two+ months of waiting and waiting and waiting some more until grad school applications get processed. I've been checking my status obsessively even though I know it's too early, and I don't know how to stop. What if Send help in the form of distractions!!!

WHO: Nina Deforest and Rupert Shield
WHEN: Backdated to Thanksgiving
WHERE: Their home
SUMMARY: Nina and Rupert spend Thanksgiving with her parents and she's left feeling a bit wedding stressed, thanks to her mother's enthusiasm. Chatting, planning, and cute ensues.
WARNINGS: None!
