Network comm for The Land of Make Believe

Pretty sure you shouldn't be more knackered at the end of a weekend than you were at the start. It's only Saturday.

Due to the nature of the last bout of Make Believe Induced Mayhem I fell I should say again that I'm Dr. Lance Sweets, a psychologist. If anyone would like someone to talk to about the things this place puts you through, or anything really, my doors are open, free, to any of the residents.

If you would like to talk to me my office phone number is [NUMBER].

There is an art exhibit at the museum, it's called "Elegant Design: Artistic Expressions of the Sciences". Would you like to go - I am asking you on another date.

Has anyone seen me around? I'm not me, me but my other me? He's wearing a gold tie and he keeps trying to convince people to help finance this crazy idea he has for... nevermind, just if you see him I'm looking for him but he's on the go the bastard!

Anyone been keeping up with the news lately? Been some weird and pretty gruesome killings happening.

I won't even go into how many treaties this violates I've read the letter and I've read some of the entries on this device, but this still isn't making sense. Can someone please explain why I went from standing on the bridge of a ship to here? I need to speak with whoever is in charge.

For Oz's Sake...

We've been through this before. Simply taking me does not substitute making a damn appointment. Send me back now.

Land of Make Believe, huh? Well, this is a new one. If we hadn't shipped that Doom off to Siberia in a lead box, I'd think he was somehow responsible for this.

Sue? Reed?


Ben?

Well, I'm going to be honest. I've woken up in stranger places.

Is it just me or are people being really sarcastic tonight?


FOR THE RECORD: I never stopped a robbery, that was a duplicate and he was lying though I can't tell if it was because of what's going on now or not. I don't think it is because I'm not lying.


I think he was just being really weird.

Cripes, okay carry on.

So I totally stopped a man from robbing this convenience store today.

Who has two thumbs and is really uber excited about Valentine's Day?

THIS GUY!

I have the perfect gift!

...is this thing supposed to be?

Potter, if this your idea of a joke, it's not funny and McGonagall is going to flip when she sees what you've done in here!

Potter? Black?

Jokes over! Ha ha ha! See, I'm laughing.

I promise I won't hex you!

Hello?

I swear they make us read 'Romeo and Juliet' at this time every year. Remind me never to become an English teacher.

Does anyone have a cure for a cold that hasn't been thought up by some delusional mother? Only if I add mucus to my appearance I might as well turn myself into a frog and be done.

Okay, kids. This is me coming out of my coffin-shaped closet. I'm a Vampire. I'm on the wagon and trying not to drink blood... Basically doing my damn best to be decent, but I know you had a lot of crap with it all before I arrived, so... Anyway, I'll stay away from anyone who wants me to stay away. And sorry for not telling people sooner.

There are things I now know that I wish I never knew but some people are meant to know things and I'm not that person but now that I know what I know, I know that person exists.

I really don't think being drugged and kidnapped needed to be added to the list of unpleasant things that have happened to me this week.

If whoever did this would be so kind as to return me to London, I would really appreciate it.

It gets awfully lonely here late at night. Along with my clients, I'm used to a city that never sleeps and instead I find myself in one that does. The sunrises are lovely though, I could never see those back in New Scranton as there was too much smog and neon signs.

Just in case anyone's bored tonight, I've got my first art class starting this evening. It's at New Creandi Graphics, which is at [location], and it runs from 7pm until 9pm in the studio above the shop. Tea and Coffee are provided. The class is "Painting for Leisure", which basically means that if you can hold a paintbrush the right way round, you'll be overqualified. I think the most there can be in a class is 25, and I know three spots are already taken, plus I think there are about six locals who have signed up as well. Tonight's mostly going to be about learning different techniques and a brief introduction to mixing colours properly, but there will be enough time to work on a fairly simple painting as well.

If you want to go but don't have any supplies, there are starter kits in the store for $15, and that gives you 2 brushes, 6 tubes of acrylic paint (or watercolour if you prefer) and a mixing palette. If you're still not sure and don't want to spend money (in case you don't like painting for some unknown reason), I have my own paints that people can use.

If you're interested, let me know or call into the shop and sign up. Cheers!

Not that I don't ever have ideas of my own, and this isn't something I usually bother doing, but I thought resolutions were actually a good idea, so I've come up with some of my own.

1. Stay visible more often.
2. Look for a new job - maybe using my desktop since I can't use it for anything that would involve contacting home.
3. Add a few more colours to my clothes. Suggestions are more than welcome, but NOT orange.
4. Oh... on the new job front, maybe look into opening my own photographic/computer services business.
5. Stop moping over Nathan and Alisha, especially Nathan. After all, when he'd around I can't stand him.
6. Be a better room-mate. Selene? I know it's not something you worry over, but I'm really sorry I've been so antisocial.

Have I forgotten anything?
