I'm usually a fairly patient person, I like to think. But this month very honestly needs to end.

Being stuck in the office is boring as hell. And all because I got hit with whatever this thing going around that's making people lose their voices. I guess there are some perks to being stuck on desk duty. I finally got caught up on paperwork. I don't see what the big deal is, all the important things were turned in on time. This was just the follow-up stuff

Reno trip still on? I might not be able to talk right now but I can still have fun.

Halloween candy coma. Not even guilty.

I managed to convince my roomie and the rest of the people I interact with at school that I have laryngitis, which is awesome because the teachers fully understand now and I'm not getting weird looks for carrying around a white board to write on anymore.

It might be a good thing I don't have a voice though because I finally had those dreams everyone is talking about. My mother is apparently a Greek God - seriously? And because I'm a "demi-god" (half human/half god) monsters want to kill me, so I run away from my family to protect them and basically live on my own for quite a while. And I'm only SEVEN! It was really scary to dream about because all I wanted to do was protect that little dream me. Thankfully I met up with two other demi-gods and a satyr named Grover who helped protect me until we could go to this place called Camp Half-Blood and we were almost there when a Cyclops showed up and my dreams ended.

I probably would have woken up screaming, but thankfully my voice is gone so I didn't have to endure questions from my roommate. Okay Percy, you're not as crazy as I thought you were.

I am so over these dreams. I just want to break something. My family in these dreams are insane and we're all horrible people. My own mother possessed me in an attempt to figure out how to kill all of us because we are abominations. I've watched my family members die and I've helped kill people as well. Is this really what being a vampire consists of? I just want to forget all about these dreams and just go on living like a normal person.

Ugh, I look crazy with tears running down my face and I'm not actually able to make a sound. Damn this Wednesday. I am staying in bed all day.

And just when I thought I was free of dreams.

I'm very happy to be dating a doctor because she has made sure that I am still alive even though I frightened her when she woke up and saw that I had no mouth. Which I have to admit is still one of the strangest sensations of my life. It's just such a useful body part and now I look like a freak without one. Hopefully this will be over soon.

The only downside is the time I'm spending in the hospital. I told work I had the flu and they seem to be okay with me not coming in. But this has also given me a lot of time to sleep and of course those dreams found me.

So, let's see.... I said goodbye to Rose and the Doctor as they went off on another round of trips. Then I alerted the Doctor to activity in this school in town so he and Rose came back to investigate. That was a lot of fun because I met Sarah Jane Smith the drama between she and Rose and this tin dog called K9 (who is basically my alter ego) and I ended up joining Rose and the Doctor on the TARDIS. I will say that it's never a dull moment with the two of them. I dreamt about Clockwork Droids and the the Cybermen.... Being in an alternate universe with a twin version of yourself is something quite interesting. It was also a bit painful because my grandmother was alive in this universe and I decided to stick around after my twin died. I'm not sure how it'll play out, but it seems almost lonely.

Deciding to try for a kid, to try to making new life is something amazing. Scary and hopeful, and immense and wild, and yet... it feels right, right now. Work is good, life is good, with good friends and things have not been better in a very long time.

I hope everyone else, despite the current weirdness, is not having too bad a time.

Best horror movie: Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, or The Exorcist?

I am going to be one of those people that forget to set their clocks back... I am resigned to this already.

So for anyone who was hoping that I'd lose my ability to speak, you're out of luck, because I still have my voice. My brother and boyfriend on the other hand have both lost their voices. Poor boys.

And I'm still finding pumpkin seeds and guts in my kitchen. We carved pumpkins on like Monday night and there is still crap on the table and counter. Darcy, you saw me clean the kitchen, right? How did I miss this two days later? Also, I hope it's okay to give rabbits pumpkin seeds cause Mr. fuzzybutt, yes that is what Lian named it, head eating them the other night.

Are there any parties or fun things to do on Halloween? I'd like to get out and socialize and do things. Meet people, I suppose.

However my brother does not approve of anything fun and if he had his way, I'd be in the house and reading during Halloween and not even handing out candy.

So I'd beg you all to not tell him. Thank you.

I've realized that when I wear certain hats, a knit for example, I look far too much like a hipster. An old hipster. At what point did wearing a beard become a fashion statement of that sort? Almost makes me want to shave mine off... not really, of course. But I don't enjoy shopping--never really have--and worrying that I'm accidentally putting together something that looks like a costume.

Oh, Wow, Guys... the GOOGLE DOODLE is awesome! Where have I been??

OH, THAT'S RIGHT... RENO. I'M IN RENO FOR HALLOWEEN.

I just....I just can't look.

St. Louis. Ugh.

I think I'm getting better at figuring out what Loki is trying to say. It's been a bit of an extended game of charades, the past few days, and I think he was about ready to kill me the first day, for not understanding his meanings fast enough.

I did try giving him a notebook so he could write things out, but he didn't think that was being helpful.

Thank god for text messaging.

I suppose receiving gifts from "home" would mean that these dreams are really coming true.

How is Rangiku doing? I've been keeping my distance so I'm not certain if she's...remembered who I am yet. I've...well. If anyone does feel a shift in spiritual pressure, it's because I woke up this morning with Hyorinmaru in hand. And my Captain's haori. It would seem it's official now.

Hey, dumbass! So it finally happened!
