I'm having that moment where I start reviewing all the mistakes I've made in the past and questioning whether the Tesseract will send us back to the right time or not, and if it's the past, would there be a chance to fix some big mistakes or will we just forget even the littlest of the second guessing to let history run its course.

Naturally, I am getting a headache, but that's usually not very different from how I normally feel with this place.

Also, I need a job. I can't live off of my sister's meals all the time. Or Julie's

I can feel the absolute terror of thousands in our immediate vicinity. How are you faring?

Well, there you have it, folks. I've officially lost my mind. I officially can't tell the difference between fact and fiction anymore. I'm officially FREAKING OUT.

Now, I just know nothing will top this. Not even in my own New York.

Who's going with me to the gay bars?

Of all the things I imagined my life being after the confrontation in Cuba, tedious isn't one of them. Nor did I imagine myself witnessing threats without being able to engage them.

Sometimes it's hard to judge how similar a world portrayed in a tv show compares to the world we're in or the world anyone here is from. Not knowing much about 21st century American politics in a world without a major war in the 1990s, I've read some books sure, but I like having something running in the background sometimes, so I've been watching The West Wing. It's almost fifteen years old, from the first season, but the issues in this world today - minus Iron Man, Thor, Captain America having existed, at least they don't reference him - are quite similar. They mention Osama Bin Laden before 9/11, issues with Syria without it being a civil war, and a very interesting relationship with Russia. This last century or so had talk of bureaucracy and negotiation in Russia. It is portrayed this way for American politics. There is a lot of pork.

I do like Jed Bartlett, not that I could vote for him. Are there other "fictional" presidents? Did Paris Hilton win fake president?

At some point, I'm going to be single. I've decided. I'm tired of relationship limbo here. I thought I'd just gotten out of relationship limbo, which our lives being on tv rudely disillusioned me to for at least until graduation day and probably longer because Tyler has to actually listen to voicemail or somehow contact him, which I guess I'll find out more about come this fall, assuming the show runs some more. But I've also been here three and a half months. And I'm not ready to give up yet. I love Tyler, I do. So I'll give him this month. We're starting a new month, and tesseract, you have a month to give me my boyfriend without him being the douchebag he was in the start of high school. Hybrid, not hybrid, I love him either way. Okay?

Then I'm done waiting. I'm not saying I'm going to go wild and jump the first cute guy I see. It just won't be off limits.

Hello, you're my housing assistant (Cameron Mitchell's and John Crichton's too). We're wanting to move. John and I live in 1110 and Cameron in 1207. What would we need to do to move? We do want to move to rooms on your floors (1214, 1215 unoccupied). I'd move in with Cameron, and John would be next door. It'd also open up larger apartments for people who want or need them. Is there paperwork? What do we do to move? Thank you.

I talked with John about moving. He's good with it. I still want him nearby. I do worry about him (re: Aeryn's departure). He has two DRDs looking after him now. When do you want to move? I'm not in any classes right now (increased availability). The DRDs can help us move too.

Pride reminds me of my beloved. If it were a celebration only in her honor, she would deserve it. Still, this was better, for it is what she believes in, and the world needs more acceptance of it. You are who you are, and all sexualities are acceptable for an individual. All genders are acceptable for an individual. They are more than acceptable. It is not anyone's responsibility to make the world accept them for something for who they truly are. If you have trouble with it, that is on you to figure out, not the rest of us.

Would she be allowed to come to any of your facilities to train when I do? She's always been helpful in testing the limits of my powers, making sure I don't forget weaknesses.

Little experience though I have with it, I am helping the Phoenix Project look throughout New York City for starting community gardens. There is a remarkable amount of zoning law in New York City. Purchasing land is as expensive as one would think, which suggests looking into roof gardens. Eating locally is much more difficult in New York City than elsewhere, but it's worthwhile, as there can still be food deserts in cities so large as ours. I have never used my hands in a garden whatsoever, but I do believe I will change that once we have more here.

Well, it seemed Peggy Carter took me dancing at The Jazz Gallery at 290 Hudson, despite the fact I all but insisted I hadn't worn the right shoes -- and we finished the night at Brandy's Piano Bar -- open mic for a bit and while I haven't actually played since Basil's in something like a hundred years, it was rather harder to forget than I imagined. I enjoyed myself, anyway, and I'm quite sure Carter did too., but I imagine she'll speak for herself.

Of course, the music I can remember by heart doesn't really have a place in New York city night clubs today, but there was sheet music, and Carter is a darling page turner. I think we made out all right.

A big big thank you to everyone who joined us in whatever way you did, marching or cheering from the sidewalks. Your support means so much to me, and it's an amazing feeling to know I'm surrounded by so much love here. This was easily one of the best weekends of my life, despite the hangov headache I have right now. Getting to celebrate and be a part of this moment was magical. I have a ton of pictures up on my instagram and facebook accounts, and a purse stuffed full of beads, and a phone with a dozen names + numbers that I can't quite decipher. Turns out someone who can create a rainbow is pretty popular this time of year.

I know there are a lot of you who are concerned about the bombings happening in other countries, and about the broadcasts that we've seen lately, and I know many of you are interested in helping. This is, as I'm sure you all know, a very delicate situation, and bringing this person in hinges on the countries investigating him being able to do so quickly at a moment's notice, before he knows what's going on. At this time, the best things we can do to help is to keep our eyes peeled for violence and threats to the city we're living in right now, and to join organizations such as the local law enforcement or SHIELD to be more involved in any take-down attempts. It won't help any of us to rush in unorganized. There are people here who are working on stopping him, and we need to work alongside them.

That said, I'd like to ask all of you who have experience with tracing signals and hacking to help us narrow down where this terrorist is, or anyone else involved in his organization. If you discover anything at all, please alert myself and Director Fury or Regional Director Hill. Anything we can tell them and share with each other is going to help us in the long run. When he is located, and he will be, I know that we'll be able to bring him in quickly. In the meantime, sit tight, do what you can to help us find him and don't do anything reckless. The rest of the city . No one can hide forever.

But I did want to share, if nothing else, a line from it, and perhaps my justification:

‘I lay on my bed and lost myself in the stories. I like that. Books were safer than people anyway.’

I saw Logan discussing the matter of Cerebro on his post regarding fileting the Mandarin and I know I have done some work for Alex individuals here in regards to replacing technology that did not follow us here. But I suppose I should more broadly offer. Is there any technological equipment that anyone is lacking or would like here. I cannot make promises to replicate anything that my alternate or future selves have managed, and money may become an issue, with collaboration and time, I can certainly do my best.

I'm sending you a file with everything I know about the Mandarin. Best friends, known hangouts, fun facts, evil power ring size, etc. You may not be dealing with the same man that I've gone up against, but whatever intel I can give you is bound to be better than nothing. And you will need all of the resources at your disposal for this guy. He may be as smart as we are, but with the added benefits(?) of being delusional and extremely dangerous.

Also, here’s a preliminary list of locations to investigate. Places where we’ve gone up against each other before. In fact, if you want to assign some guys from my team to look into them, let me know. Steve and I can talk to our people and put some of the non-SHIELD Avengers on the job.

• Hong Kong -- When I was trying to set up a branch of Stark Enterprises in Hong Kong, I ran into the Mandarin, who had taken the name of Zhang Tong, and had become a financial leader in the area. As Tong, he controlled a number of government officials and industry leaders of Hong Kong.
  
  
• Chelyabinsk, Russia -- It was here that Mandarin built a ridiculous flying fortress called the Dragon of Heaven, which he allegedly planned to use to conquer Russia and eventually the world. He initiated a series of attacks on me, culminating in a battle inside of the Dragon of Heaven. You can’t make this stuff up.
  
  
• Himalayan Mountains, Tibet -- I wish I could be more specific, but I guess we can send some people with good long distance vision and probably the ability to fly to check in. Anyway, he was here looking for the Eye of Yin, a talisman of power created by an ancient group of Chinese sorcerers, and he maneuvered the Royal Family of the Inhumans (who at the time lived in the Himalayan Mountains) into locating the idol for him. He also left his son, Temugin, at a monastery in Tibet. So I’d look at and around monasteries in the Himalayan mountains. I realize that doesn’t narrow it down much.
  
  
• Omaha, Nebraska -- The Mandarin infiltrated the U.S. government via his role as CEO of Prometheus, a corporation specializing in bio-engineered weaponry. At one point, he stole a friend of mine and tried to use her to unleash a deadly virus on the world that would have killed roughly 97.5 percent percent of the population, while making the other two and a half percent effectively immortal. It was bad news. Actually, I’d be happy to take this one personally.

Let me know if there's anything else that I can do to help.
