I need to speak with the Asian red head I accidentally pissed off the other day. Got a few things I need to say.

I think I've spent too much time at the hospital with mom and I've caught something. I feel like crap. Bed seems like a great idea for the next week or so.

[Private to Cameron]

Can you take over mom visits for a bit? I don't wanna pass anything round the hospital.

I guess fire is not impervious to disease. I was hoping I wouldn't catch whatever is going around since I'm on house-arrest, but it seems the cold was determined. The worst part is I don't get another food delivery until next week and there's no soup or crackers in the house.

I dreamed about my second year at Hogwarts all night last night. Kept waking up coughing and falling back asleep again. I had classes with Gilderoy Lockhart, thought the Heir of Slytherin had returned to the school, and watched Draco fly with the Slytherin Quidditch Team. It sounds like I'm speaking Greek, I know. My brain does some really strange things when I'm sick.

Also, I'm sick. Did I mention that I'm sick? I need chicken soup and cuddles and tissues and 80's movies and chocolate.

I'm slowly putting more things together in my dreams. I spent Christmas at Hogwarts last night.

Notes:
- Harry's parents were betrayed by their best friend, Sirius Black
- The Ministry has the authority to execute dangerous animals at Hogwarts, Buckbeak the Hippogriff
- Hogwarts will employ werewolf teachers, aka Remus Lupin
- Mrs. Weasley makes amazing sweaters
- Harry and Ron get really angry when their new toys are taken away.
- It's no fun going to Hogwarts when friends are mad at you.

This must be some bug that's going around. People are all over here saying they are ill and the emergency room has been packed all night. I have a feeling this isn't going to be the first forty-eight hour shift I work. Not to sound like a broken record but people should take extra care to not get sick; wash hands, avoid overpopulated areas if possible, eat a good diet. Those sick should make sure to see a doctor.

I can bring people something if they need it or help if anyone needs help looking after a loved one.

So, dreaming about Princess Kaguya. That's a new one. Isn't often I dream of fairy tales.

Even if it wasn't exactly accurate to the story. Guess the world in my dreams likes to play around with things like that.

I don't like being sick.

Urgh, why do I have to come down with a stupid cold just after New Year? I really don't want to take sick leave. I've only been working for Stark for a month, it's not going to look good if I call in sick already.

Okay Merlin, time to man up. Take the cold and flu pills and get to work.

Black Widow shoot has been canceled, as I join the ranks of the walking dead.

So. I won't be coming in to the ranch while this flu thing is going around. Ollie talked to our doctor friend and is all adamant that I wait things out until it's over since we're currently in the Bay anyway. It's one thing I'm actually not inclined to fight him on since I really don't do 'sick' well, and I don't want to contribute to the problem.

I made a lot of dumb decisions yesterday and overdid it/got overconfident in my abilities but At least I'm not the one who... I'm somehow still here and I think this means that I deserve a shot at going on these things more often. Ollie's fighting that one pretty heavily but I'm ready now. I know I'm ready. Next time I want to be out there doing things from the start, you know? [/locked]


Anybody needs anything, PLEASE let me know. I can't get anyone else out here away from it due to some new warning that took affect after I'd arranged for one such flight but I've got resources and can manage foods and stuff if things get bad enough.

Seriously hope you're all okay.

I am swiftly tiring of infidelity. It has not been 2013 for very long and already I have very strong suggestions for certain people's New Year's Resolutions.

I guess I picked a good time to get a dog. Champion's been really helpful over the past few hours. After the train ride. He was mad about being in the cargo area, and honestly I was a little sad to let him go.

He doesn't like my Aunt and Uncle's apartment as much as he liked the orchard, but I guess that's a given. I'd rather not be here, too. It's so stressful, we've already had a couple arguments about basically nothing, and my family is probably one of the most disgustingly easygoing ones in existence. I've never really felt like this, so tense and angry at nothing. Well, not at nothing, but with no really good target for my irritation. It would help if I could sleep, but I barely manage, and when I do I dream, and the dreams aren't restful to me. I always wake up, but at least now I have a reason to be upset.

It's terrifying to see the images on the news of the stumps of the Golden Gate Bridge. I feel so sick every time I see it, and it's everywhere. Every time the phone rings we jump and for a minute we all just look at it, too afraid to pick it up. Usually it's just friends and extended family checking up on us. It's so hard to take those calls, and explain what happened, what we're waiting for.

TL;DR I'm bummed, but glad I have my dog around to snuggle.

If you've got the sniffles, the itchy throats, the fevers, the coughs, the sneezes, or anything resembling any sort of illness at all?

Stay the bloody hell away from my wife. No offense to you and your cold germs, but I don't want our little football star to fall out before he's meant to, or for her to catch it and be miserable after her last puke-fest.

Cheers. Enjoy your nyquil and whatnot.

I don't think I've ever seen quite so many people getting ill. It's almost suspicious

Curious. I feel I'm possibly one of the only people to have shown up and been ready for work today. This isn't the fast food or retail, dearies. The entire political offices of the city just can't call in for a cold.

I'd been looking forward to a quiet night in. In fact, I'd been successful at it until about fifteen minutes ago when my neighbors above me decided to have an influx of people over. Sounds like five or six, but a loud five or six, and suddenly I might need to watch Netflix in my room on my laptop and not, in fact, on the television.

I guess there are worse things in the world (or better ways to spend Saturdays). C'est la vie.

To stifle any rumours that might come up before they are made. Haruka and I are engaged. He asked me at midnight on new years, and we just go back properly home from our trip to Japan.

Meetra, we need to hang out some time so I can give you what I got you in the main city.

EDIT: We come back and there's an illness going on? Are any of my close friends okay?

HEY ALEX! my phone's on your kitchen table, bring it by, would you?

Sometimes I long to be more than just me... To be something that's not just a pretty face on a CD. I want to be larger than the life I have now. To be looked upon as someone to be. And not just because I can get girls and booze.

I want to do something good for this world, but feel I'm limited because of the expectations my fans have for me. I'm worried that I'll never feel of this world. That I belong.

tl;dr - I feel like I'll never make something of myself properly. Fame can only get you so far emotionally.
