Network

I have an announcement to make. I haven't even told those closest to me, as it was all up in the air and I wanted to be certain, and frankly I'd rather just get it out all at once.

This next season of Black Widow will be the last. We outlasted the show we spun out of, The Revengers, and our own spin off is starting strong, so we thought that now would be a good time.

I've got something big coming, but that one I really should tell some people about first.

Right, I never did catch the name of the person who suggested these Oreo knock-offs from the Trader Joe's, but they are so amazing!

So you know, thank you to whoever that was.

I missed the bouncy castles entirely, and I'm real sad about that. D'you think he'll set some more up if we all make puppy eyes at him?

Well, I think I'm done turning my house upside down for today. You don't realize how much stuff you've acquired until you get ready to move house. Or to make room for someone else's stuff.

( Funny NSFW saying behind the cut )

It's so weird I'll be starting college in August. Is it wrong of me to say I'm glad I'm able to skip dorm life and stay here with my parents? It's to help take care of my aunt - she's a hundred, so she's not super mobile anymore - but I feel guilty about being glad about it.

Anyway, hello! I'm Nobody Owens, but call me Bod. Everyone does. Not new to the OC, but new to this board. Pleased to meet you!

I bought the cutest bikini today.

Who wants to go with me to the beach tomorrow? My treat.

What is it now? 3-0? I'm actually starting to lose count of how many disastrous wedding attempts Tony and I have had at this point.

I can't believe I'm making another one of these posts

Despite popular opinion The Dragons were NOT a part of the wedding event. We did not hire dragons or a dragon tamer to put on a show during the reception. Believe me, I checked the invoices and our bank accounts. I thought it was another terrible idea of Tony's at first too.

We will, of course, be paying the hospital bills for anyone who was harmed during our attempted wedding. Please, everyone, accept our sincerest apologies for yet another wedding mishap. I'm not sure we will be attempting another one on such a large scale.

Rebekah, I clearly think you jinxed me with this nightmare nonsense. I dreamt that I lived with you, Elijah and Nik in the early 1900's. We were...vampires. Nick and I were fighting over something. Something stupid...you and Elijah were trying to defuse the situation and calm us both down, but it wasn't working. Anyway...we were fighting...and he pulls out this dagger and jams it into my heart and stuffs me in a coffin....and then...I wake up.

Seriously sis, can you not jinx me with your creepy voodoo dreams? It seemed so real...

I've been trying to cut down my hours lately and since I've had varying degrees of success with this in the past I wasn't expecting much but it seems that I'm now finding a much better work life balance. I wonder if it's an indication that I now actually have a life beyond work. I'm not sure I could claim that even just a couple of years ago.

I've heard this is the place to introduce ourselves, so here goes. I'm Ariadne Cooper, new architect at Stark Industries. I just moved to California from Paris, so needless to say this is kind of culture shock.

It's nice to meet you all though! Er, so to speak.

It's very difficult being a stubborn person and knowing that you're the one in the relationship who caves at practically everything.

Honestly. All Arthur has to do is turn down his lips into even a hint of a frown and I'm agreeing to things that go against everything I morally believe in. Such as adopting ungrateful teenagers with smart mouths.

I don't remember this being in my vows.

I would like to know if there is anyone called Thenardier on this network who dreams.

I hate American reporters. And American pisswater beer.

I feel as though I have to write a defense of myself now, because that Skeeter bitch seems to think that wanting to settle down a bit is tantamount to wanting a slave woman. Which I don't, for the record.

If anyone's bloody curious, my girlfriend dumped me, for reasons I'd like to be my own damned business. And on top of that, last night I dreamt as though I voluntarily became some kind of monk. Or at least signed up to be a novice before taking vows to be a monk. I wonder if the dreams aren't telling me what to do.

I know that I should probably be rooting for Blackhawks, since I'm from Chicago and all, but I just like the Bruins more. I don't know why. I just want them to win. Alyssa thinks the whole thing is rubbish and that it takes too long, but she's watching the game with me anyway. She's kind of awesome considering she could go watch something else in her room, but she's putting up with me watching the game. I think I'll keep her.

I hate waking up sore. Dragons or not, Office Blake is getting old.

I don't get how Auron and Tyreal keep going some days.

Ladies and Gentleman,
Do you have a passion for books? Do you love stories but have no-one to share that love with?

Well come on down to the Huntingdon Beach Public Library on the first Thursday of every month and meet like-minded people!

Our first book is the amazing Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen! Come and enjoy a proper English afternoon tea and discuss your favourite characters and chapters with us!

I hope to see you there!
Elizabeth Weir.

So, apparently this is the place where all the cool kids hang out?
