Update on the cat, listeners!

You remember, the cat that showed up on my stoop a while back?

No one ever responded to the fliers I put up, so... I guess he's mine now!

I've named him Hector. I think that's a good, solid name for a cat.

I know Thanksgiving hasn't happened yet, but...have any of the malls started with Santa yet? I'm too eager for Nessie to have her first visit and get pictures. She was only a few weeks old last December so we obviously didn't take her. I'm definitely looking forward to doing it this year.

Also...

www.reasonsmysoniscrying.com is the most genius site ever. I might have to submit Nessie to this page. What do you think, Bella?

I feel like I relate to this far more than I strictly ought to.

That, and there's apparently a twitter called VeryBritishProblems. I think there's quite a few of us here on the 'net that would appreciate and sympathize with most of those tweets.

As timely as these last dreams about the thing were it only reinforces what I have been saying since I found out about the damn thing. Mainly that it has to die and that I will do everything I can to ensure it does.

I realize it isn't the Jedi way but it must be done. I will not allow it to harm anyone else and this is the only way I can be sure that it will no longer be a threat.

It would appear that over the last few days, I've become aware of yet another side effect of my lycanthropy. Just like dogs and other animals, I seem to be able to sense seismic activity before it happens. Before the first quake a few days ago I got extremely anxious just before it occurred. And that feeling repeated before each one that followed. This leads me to wonder if I'd also be susceptible to paranormal activity.

Planning weddings is hard. I mean half of this stuff, I just don't care about. But it has to be done. Why are there like a million shades of white? When did that become a thing?

Is it thanksgiving yet? I just want to stuff my face full of food and then sleep for the rest of the day.

I know things have been a little strange around here again, but I wanted to make a post to get people's opinions. I was thinking of doing setting up something for a pet photos for Christmas. I know some pet stores do it, but I want to help raise some money for charity to give back this holiday season.

Would anyone be interested in having their pet photos taken? I was thinking of having a Santa come in and maybe set up an area with backdrops and different props that you can pose your pet with.

These dreams are not pleasant at all. How on Earth can I be an only child? Being scorned by my peers for being a woman is one thing, and an upsetting thing at that, but being alone through it all? That's intolerable. Even worse is relying on a man like Comstock for funding. I wish I could yell loud enough for my dream self to hear how bad an idea that is. Curse my youth and desperation! Scientific progress should never be sold to the highest bidder, and especially not someone like him.

I've never used my powers so long or so extensively in the real world. I think I'm going to take a nap for a week. People really need to get over the need to gawk at things, it would make everyone's life a lot easier.

I hope I destroyed all the cameras. Guess we'll find out.

A doctor told me to stop drinking today. Why in the hell would I do that? Whatever damage alcohol has done to my body has already been done. I might as well carry on drinking and fighting.

I find this year I'm very grateful for many things. My wife, who I love very much, and who helped me find love and meaning again. My siblings, who show me constantly that while life has challenges, it can also have joy. My parents, who even though they are afar, are still the source of much of my life. The work I do, and those who help me in it, work with me, who help me find it more joyful than I thought it could be. All of it.

I hope all of you also find things to be thankful for.

Hello, everyone. My name is Irina. I come from Russia, but I've lived in the United States since about 1992. I was just given an invitation to this network - someone told me that it's a good place to network and job hunt? I could use one of those.

I have a background in corporate work, mostly technical, but I'm good around most industrial spaces. I can be your receptionist, your inside woman, your almost-anything.

I look forward to meeting all of you.
