Me trying to take naps since moving to Dunhaven:

Do you ever read an article and just laugh and laugh about a turn of phrase, and how it even got published that way at all?

You're Totally Going to Bone in Self-Driving Cars, Scientists Predict. Most of it's about some study about how self-driving cars are going to impact tourism industries like hotels, restaurants and prostitution, but then you get to the end: "But whether people are going to fuck in them feels like less of a question and more of an inevitability. Of course, that would require you to first choose to trust the machines. Unless the fear turns you on."

Has this person ever done anything risky at all? Ridden a roller coaster? Come on. It doesn't take a genius to know that the adrenaline rush is going to be a huge draw.

Dear Lucy,

Karma kicked me right in the ass for all that shit-talking I was doing yesterday. I got suckered in by the Christmas display at Bath & Body Works today. I don't even like Bath & Body Works! What is happening to me? I have betrayed Halloween. I don't deserve these fun drinks I made up. :(

MARSHALLS

A couple things.

First, there's a woman in town that is dreaming about the ex-fiancée of the guy that I'm dreaming about because apparently I must have a complicated ex-fiancée situations in both my waking and sleeping lives.

Oh, yeah. Second, I'm having those dreams, too.

Third. Elle, I need you to start making jalapeno margaritas at the bar.

Going back and forth between the start of Christmas heartwarmers and the tail end of Halloween thrillers has been one of the highest of highlights of this weekend. It's making me wonder if I can have my tree up while I have pumpkins on the stoop?

MIKHAIL

PS: Happy anniversary of the night I had assumed going in was just to be a one night stand. I'm really glad it wasn't.

I bet you all were thinking, "Oh, good. Charlie is going to stop asking random questions about our dream lives because it's an uncomfortable and awkward topic most of the time." HA HA. No, not quite. I'm too curious for my own good and I think, eventually, all of this information will be of use to us. So here's the next topic for discussion for all you second-life dreamers out there!

What is the best part about your dream life? What is the worst?

You can answer anonymously, or not. Totally up to you.

I've had access to this network since forever, but I never actually got around to logging in and using it. I decided I wanted to use it and I had no idea what to actually post for my first blog or entry or whatever it is the kids are calling it these days so here you go. ( Cut for image! )

Quality content for you all. You're welcome, Dunhaven.

We can get victory over even the most insurmountable task with a fresh, succinct and bulleted list. That's how I got through moving half-way across the country (Iowa is half-way, you can't tell me any differently), got through my MFA and made it back home again.

That's how things work in the Craig household. We have a step-by-step list for getting through the day.

And because I want to keep getting through the day, I need to do a list for you. I've been reading through your old entries. I know you're having dreams. I know some of you are talking about them. I know that you are pretty sure these dreams have something to do with another existence, maybe even one you thought was fiction, and it isn't just fanciful creativity.

I'm having them too and they're keeping me up, they're sapping my attention, they're eating at me from the inside and it's because I'm completely and utterly alone. So, if you could help me cross this off my list, that would be grand.

Who knows Lily Evans? Or, rather, Lily Potter. She and I are sharing some brainwaves.

MIKHAIL

You're amazing, you know. I thought it was important you were reminded.

EMILIA

Hey, you. How are you doing?

ANNIE

Tell me about homecoming. Did you chaperone? Did you bust anyone trying to spike the punch? Any dirty dancers?

ELLE

What's new with you? Please tell me all the things.

Well, now I know what to do for my next Hocus Pocus rewatch:

TEXTS TO MIKHAIL

-- Good morning, sunshine.
-- Are you busy?

TEXT TO EMILIA

-- I think I'm about to have the baby, fyi.

TEXTS TO ANNIE

-- Hey, you.
-- I might be going into labor, as a head's up.

TEXT TO ELLE

-- I don't think I'm going to have the baby at the bar. ☹️

So...hi. My name's Caty and I've never lived in a city with their own social network before, but it might be to my benefit that this one has one. I'm new to the city. Like, very new. Since I don't actually know the business around here or the people save one person, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if any businesses are currently hiring?

Thanks in advance.

For anyone who gets the pleasure of seeing the National Symphony Orchestra live, I highly recommend it. Thanks for dragging me out of the house tonight, Bridge. The show was completely worth the tux and spending a two hour dinner listening to the most boring man in the world tell me everything I never wanted to know about his thirteen horses.

My favorite time of year is almost upon us.

HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIE SEASON!

Who else is excited as I am? I am legitimately thinking about hosting a viewing party for Christmas at Pemberley Manor.

[ LIAM ]

I have good news and I have bad news. Which one do you want first?

In the spirit of the holiday (and because I had a lot of time on my hands), the drink menu tomorrow has a distinct... pirate-y flare.

We'll have my take on grog, which is absolutely one of a kind, and a handful of other rum-based cocktails with cool names that I'll only reveal if you show up to the bar.



That's also where I'm breaking out my pirate talk, so don't ask. I have to practice first.

So, hey there! Hey Dunhaven. Maybe you don't remember me? I mean, wh I'm Lavender Craig. I graduated from Athena in 2009 and I moved to Iowa. That's kind of hilarious in retrospect, but all in all what I really want to say is ... I'm back.

Hello there. I hope everyone's doing really well.

One thing I've started doing is cross stitch. I just finished this:

(Oh God, somebody get me out of this house.)
