LIZZIE. Lizzie. Lizzie! There's a thing here. Why aren't you in your room? You should be comatose after last night. I'm not getting out of my pyjamas. So why aren't you in your room?

Seriously. You've got a rose and a present and it's all so mysterious and Darcy shaped.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night! If your heels were as high as mine, and if you drank as many mojitos as I did, I imagine we are spending the day similarly: sitting in our pyjamas eating doritos and watching tv. In the dark. With no more booze.

Ahh the glam life.

I expect our good friends at S.H.I.E.L.D. must have given the Wakandans notice of my arrival, as those at the consulate were neither surprised nor happy to see me several days ago.

Our situation here is more complicated than I realized.

Not cool, Morpheus.

Since I was told that hurting others is a no-go, I suppose I can tell you my name. Hi. I'm Thessaly. Which is all you really need to know about me. What's the art scene like here? I generally prefer the other coast, and they told me I had to find a job. Since I'm not a fan of taking someone else's money because it always comes with a hidden price, I'd like to give it back as soon as possible. I know more about art history than you can imagine, I'm a little rusty on South American traditions, but something in that area would be good for me. I suppose I could go to college again, if I had to.

So glad I am that they did not try to make a movie of my life.

Hello? This is how this magic works? The man told me to introduce myself. I am Eragon of Carvahall. I have been told that my dragon, Saphira, is not here. I have also been told not to use magic here for a period of time to adjust.

This place... this New York, is much larger than anything I have ever seen, though I have seen little except Teirm. I am living with someone named Percy Jackson. I will be pleased to meet you and have a better reaction to you than those I first met.

The man also asked if someone can continue my teaching in reading? It has been nearly a month since Brom taught me, and the runes are unfamiliar to me.

Thank you.

Went into work yesterday (yes, on a Sunday; I'll wait for the shock to die down).

Are we good? All right: I went into work yesterday and it was a skeleton crew. Well, Ryan, this kid who sits near me and works with alkaline, mostly - he's into paper restoration - he's always brown-bagged it. But yesterday he orders in from Felicito's for him and me. Told me about a new bike he'd purchased and was restoring. Was wearing a new coat. All the flashiest signs of Fast Money and Too Stupid to know how to keep it quiet.

Anyway. I poked, I prodded, I showed him a trick with the Mylar enclosure to cut down on his works' acclimation time. Seems there's some street-job recruiting those with a chemistry background for a little after-hours work. It's gotta be big-time with the green he's flashing, but he wouldn't introduce me to anyone. I think he likes lining his own pen.

I think I'm going to show off a dusty skill-set or two and see if I get any bites.

I'm of a very much sound mind but, you see, circumstances indicate a break with reality that I cannot help but wonder about. I fell. I fell very intentionally and then, instead of the fencing, there was this. It's not a lack of proportion. The sun still feels like our sun and the

Well, the cars are very different and the lights are very bright but it's not a lack of proportion. The sun is hot. I abide. But I can't help but be quite convinced that this is not reality. I'm told that there are people here whose powers exceed that of a general human nature and further, that I should not be surprised if they practise it before me.

So, you see. I'm quite sure that my physical body is still on that fence. I guess I'm now behind the arras, so to speak. I guess that it's time to accept the truth that I am dead and this is the after-effects. Maybe this is the process of death? Either way, I'd very much like to speak with Evans now.

I have decided on a career of choice. Or well at least a path to it. I researched this weekend since it was that or worry myself into being sick... and I've decided that I want to go to Culinary school. I looked at two of the top schools - the Culinary Institute of America and The International Culinary Center. I decided to take a shot at International Culinary Center, as it is within the city limits. I think between my own skill and some help, I can manage to get some financial aid.

I feel that this could be fun.

Jason, darling. Elaine, Dick, Barbara, TJ - and whoever else lands in our little group here, I dare say be prepared to be my guinea pigs!

Of course. I still plan on dancing, and training but this could be good for me.

Amy and River and other Dad gone, all at once. I don't understand why this keeps happening.

There are a few things I've been holding close to my chest here, things that I've held close ever since they happened, all in an attempt to avoid thinking about it and avoid owning up to what I've done. I've felt that way here too, despite knowing how easily everyone can discover some of our dirty secrets. In an effort to stop running from what I've done, I think I need to get it off my chest. I can't move on if I'm carrying it on my back like this forever.

I lived on a planet called Caprica, years ago. It was one of the twelve planets that made up our colonies. My father had been in the military for my entire life, which meant he was away a lot. My parents divorced when I was eight, and I saw him less after that. It took us years to fix our relationship and to stop blaming each other for everything that went wrong.

I had a fiancée on Caprica. Gianne. She was pregnant, and when she told me, I ran. I was afraid that I would only repeat the mistakes my father made with my brother and I. I was afraid of a lot of things that didn't really matter in the end. When the colonies fell to the Cylons during their attack, she was there. I never saw her again. I spent a long time blaming myself for being a coward and for never going back to apologize. The guilt I felt got in the way of too much over the years, and I still haven't managed to shake it all. I don't know if I ever can. The funny thing about being here is that I find myself thinking more about my mistakes than I did when all I had to worry about was where I was going to find my next meal. I don't know what it is about it. The similarities to home, my face being on a new show about doctors.

It's a relief to finally talk about it, at least.

Well, this sucks. My roommate - who was actually reasonably cool - got sent back or whatever you call it. I mean, I know she's probably happy about it, since she was sort of upset about her friend leaving, but now I have this big apartment and NO ROOMMATE. Living alone is boring, especially when you can't go out during the day.

I officially hate the fucking tesseract.

I am not going to be productive today. Which is a shame. Hawaii is brilliant, as will be this conference. Sun's barely up here, and it is simply... peaceful. I wish I felt as peaceful as it appears here.

I was about to talk about the glamorous things I was doing before I somehow tripped over a broken lawn mower and fell into space and found myself in NYC several years ago but a) Vi is the classy one and b) I was wearing yoga pants and a WADA sweatshirt when I showed up and c) I was holding an old radio, not pointe shoes.

Who can remembers the last time you were happy before coming here?

Today marks three months since I first got here. Three months that I haven't seen or talked to my parents, or my brothers or my sister, or my friends that aren't here. I actually feel like I'm getting used to that, which makes me feel bad. Like... every day that passes that I don't think about them all the time means I don't miss them, or I don't love them, or what have you. Which obviously isn't the case. I do miss them, and it's weird to think that I might get stuck here and never see Jack or Katie grow up. I know they do back in our world, they have to, but it's not the same. The four of us were always pretty inseparable up until the last few years. Alex was our leader, and the one we looked up to most. Jack's wild and brave and hardly ever thinks things through, and Katie's just the sweetest girl with the biggest heart, and I don't really know where that leaves me, but that's okay. I wish I had some pictures here. Anything. Words aren't enough.

Anyway, as much as I love them and miss them, I can't imagine being anywhere else now. I know they'll be okay wherever they are. The longer I'm here, the more it feels like I should start really planning for the future, whatever that means now. My future at home was going to be so much different than this one will be. I could go to college here. I have so much time for things I never had time for before. It's a crazy chance that I never would have had otherwise, so I'm grateful for that even if I won't re.

I bought two pairs of shoes, none of them in fashion but ahead of it, have managed to piece together my grand collection of moisturizing creams and of course bought other necessities, which might include chocolate ice cream and those cheap plastic spoons that break as soon as you try to scoop up some ice cream. I am probably nearing bankruptcy, so if anyone knows of a job opening anywhere, it would be appreciated. I also have college brochures.

But I don't think I'll be watching the show I come from.
