I'm seriously gonna punch Sjin and Lalna if I everever meet them in real life.

I mean, sure, the explosion dropped me right next to Rythian, but.. my mushrooms. D: I spent literally all of two seconds cultivating those guys! And I somehow still have Barry, what

At least I have company. Company's good. Especially since he puts up with my stupid jokes.

Oh God.

( Cut for references to death in the dreams )

As weeks go, this one doesn't seem to be great. I'd really appreciate it if the universe would stop messing with my friends and family.

Now I'm worried something will happen while my mom's in town, and I'll forever hear about how I tried to kill her by bringing her to a war zone or how I should have planned for a. . . fairy invasion or some nonsense like that.

I feel like I've finally been initiated into this community by finally have some extremely lucid dreams. And not to sound full of myself, but I'm apparently a Queen in my dreams. And not like Queen of England or anything, but the Queen of this planet in space. SPACE. What The Heck? And I was pretty young too, younger than I am now. Slightly impressed by that at least.

The dreams didn't give me much hope for my career in the future since my negoitating powers aren't high. My planet got invaded by a bunch of aliens and their droids and there was also a lovely assassination attack on me. Thankfully two guys in robes and these weapons that are a sword with a beam of light showed up and saved the day. And I give props to whomever came up with the idea to have me pretend to be a handmaiden and use a decoy as the Queen. I also had some awesome costumes for being Queen.

Now I have to drink like 10 cups of coffee to wake up and not think about this all day.

I do believe my children may regret letting me onto the internet when I start gushing about how wonderful they are and how proud I am of them all but I think they know me well enough by now. Besides I am sure it is the role of a parent to embarrass their children. At least that is what I am sticking to.

Not that I believe these dreams are more than power of suggestion gone horribly wrong, but I really should have figured.

For the record, I was not born in 1840. I am not a Southern Boy who says Yes, Ma'am, and I don't have cravings for blood. It might have felt real, but it's not. Now fighting in the Civil War was an interesting twist. I suppose I should thank my head for a short period of sanity.

Of all the things that have happened here I must admit I never would have bet that my best friend would end up in hospital as the result of an attack on a ship by dragons. Actual dragons. I mean how on earth can there be actual dragons? It's completely crazy yet there it is. It shouldn't surprise me but it really does.

It is a strange thing to suddenly be able to read a language, and then several languages, not born or learned to you. Something of the dreams. Languages of strange words and strangers text. Skills and abilities, not counting powers, from another world, now inhabit my mind and I find them very odd. Sure, I could have learned them here, some of them, but I doubt I ever would have. Ink making, and scroll shaping, book creation and binding, the art of slaying of, and caring for, dragons, and more. It is an odd thing, this, to have these talents awoken simply by dreaming enough dreams, remembering enough of another life, another world, and wondering, somehow, if such could and would be true, here.

This is an odd life, my friends. Odd, indeed.

Helloooooooooooo, internet! I'm new here! To the area, I mean! Also kinda to the internet. Sort of. Not really, I mean, I'm new to THIS area. Of the internet.

...HI! Sorry. I'm Rapunzel! My cousin told me about this place when I moved here, and now I'm getting around to saying... hey! So... hey!

It's weird what you can learn on the internet these days. Used to be a bunch of bulletin boards, linked up, and then more and more sites came online, and now, almost every piece of information out there is online. Without doing anything illegal or even immoral, you can stumble over almost any piece of information now.

On other news, still no job, but I finished working on re-engineering a new processor unit, and hopefully that will generate some revenue once it's patented and rights are sold. Being a computer engineer is interesting sometimes.

So, I guess these dream things only get weirder and weirder. And start changing you in real life, too? Man. Does anyone know what started this? Or causes it?

Because this is freaking me out.

Oh, and I'm in Canada at a model shoot, which I wasn't going to be able to make until an apparent ability to run very, very fast, but not control how far I go or how long it lasts, kicked in. Ended up in South Dakota and got a bus from there.

I'm glad I did, because the shoot is awesome and the scenery is pretty cool. I just wish I'd made it under my own decision.

It is official. As of today, I am finished with my job. For this quarter, at least. Any students of mine who would like to know their final grades don't even have to wait until the twenty-first. I will tell you right now, if you'd like to know.

Father's day has come and gone. I can't say it ever held much importance in my mind, but perhaps it's been in my thoughts more than I've realized. I dreamed of my parents last night, in a different time and place. But it was them. Very curious.

At least one good thing came out of this weekend? I seem to have learned a little self control.

I feel like there should have been champagne waiting on my desk for me this morning or something. Stark, you're losing your edge.

Seems like there's a great deal of stress around town these days. I don't usually announce these things, but I'm having a little get together among friends, and please everyone, consider yourselves cordially invited.

My place out by Malibu. I promise, it'll be worth the drive.

fuck relationships

What's the best way to heal a broken heart? Because I don't think ice cream is going to cut it, all things considered.

Anyone else with a Z in his or her name? We're starting a club!

So, uh, that dream thing. I guess I'm part of the club now? They're weird, aren't they?

Also, to my clients who are all on here, I'll send you all e-mails in the morning, but just a heads up I'll need to reschedule our appointments. My asthma's flaring up pretty bad, so for the time being I'll be sort of ... Out of commission I guess.

My mother says I need to get a job over the summer. Who's hiring? Where is it good to work? Any suggestions? Figure I might as well ask here before I start job hunting.

All right then, hello.

Name's Rory. Finally got one of these things, pleased to meet you.
