Looks like it's gonna be a long night for me. It feels like I barely closed my eyes before I got hit with new dreams. It's so ... I don't even know what to say. The way these people in the Capitol look at this. We're paraded around in front of them and, I mean, I guess we're supposed to make them like us somehow? It seems sort of pointless, considering they'll watch most of us die and cheer when it happens.

Still. I think we definitely made an impression. The fire thing was great - Also, Portia, I finally met you, in the dreams.

Anyway, every time I doze off again I see us all in the training center, practicing how to survive and how to kill, and I think maybe I'll just stay awake and not even bother with school in the morning.

All those young couples on House Hunters always annoy the crap out of me. It's always like these twenty four year olds who have been married for a year and want a house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms even though they don't plan on starting a family right away and the kitchen or yard is always too small and they get upset if the master bedroom doesn't have a bathroom. The fixtures are always wrong and the girl ends up getting emotional over something.

And it's even worse on the International ones cause no one ever seems to realize that apartments in other countries are usually smaller.

This is why Mickey shouldn't leave me alone. I end up watching HGTV at two in the morning and rant about house hunting shows.

So, Valentine's Day kind of sucked since Gendry is in Scotland and all. I didn't mope around though, cause that's just not me. My parents went away for the weekend though, so I took Rickon out for dinner, which meant since Myrcella was with her boyfriend, that left Bran and Damian alone at the house. Stupid boys decided to mope around and got a little drunk, but anyone who saw Bran's post the other night could probably figure that out for themselves. When Rickon and I got home, I had to take care of their stupid asses. Luckily neither of them got sick, otherwise I would have made them clean it up.

Does anyone else get their pet a gift when they get their significant other or themselves something? Caspian and I seem to have gotten in a habit of getting Aslan some sort of new cat toy almost any time we get each other something. For Valentine's Day, he got a new catnip mouse and a bag of treats. I'm beginning to think we spoil big far too much. Either that or the gifts are an attempt to prevent him from jumping on us to wake us up. I don't know if anyone has ever owned a Maine Coon before, but they are quite big and heavy and having one jump from the dresser, onto your stomach, at five thirty in the morning is not pleasant.

Yes, it's true. I'm a married woman now.

The wedding is still on for the winter, though it's a lot less stressful, considering we're already married in the eyes of the law. The wedding will be a performance of snow, love and purple! It'll be fantastic.

At least I have an extra day off, and this weekend - which was great - was dream free. Leave it to sleeping in my own bed to bring on more dreams.

Here's the highlight reel. Dream me made a grand confession to this reporter that was just filling in for the girl I really wanted. She was useful though, and the other was occupied by my brother. I also said that I liked the bad side of being a vampire, but that's not a shock. Elijah and Elena have a deal to protect her friends but not her, and the wolves are still assholes. We are still looking for the moonstone that is supposed to break the werewolf curse, which we eventually find. Everyone is waiting for Klaus to arrive. Too bad he isn't around. I'd love to give him shit about this. I'd love to tell Elijah that putting a pencil in my neck was a dick move. So maybe I did try to kill him. He did get the stake eventually. Sorry in-laws, he looks good all green and pickled. I caught a witch trying a spell to unstake him and set the witch on fire. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

A certain other vamp got out of the tomb though, which was just a fucked up side effect. She told me that she knew I was going to die in 1864, and then Stefan became a ripper, she comes back and hits on me. I took great pleasure in shoving her ass off the bed. Not going there again. Stay tuned for the next episode.

I have been fortunate enough to find a nice job at a local elementary school here in Anaheim. I'm currently teaching 5th grade and while most of my students are wonderful, I cannot believe the behavior some of them show! I've been a nanny in the past and have never allowed any of my charges, regardless of their age, to utter a word of vulgarity! I can only imagine these children pick it up from home or their schoolmates, but why must they be taught these words at such a young age?

And don't even get me started on their use of technology. Is it really necessary for a ten year old to have an iPhone that they try and sneak texts during class? Who are they texting??

So.

I apparently drew a summoning circle in my sleep.

When I woke up today, my Zanpakutō was on my bed. It's amazing that it's tangible and I can pick it up and use it.

It also turns out that I don't get executed in my dreams after all. I suppose that's something.

My dreams are so embarrassing. My homicidal lizard ex-boyfriend died and then came back and then turned into a werewolf? I don't even know.

It's completely ridiculous. I will say that since resurrecting my friend from the dead, it's been .. slightly quieter in my head. I thought that would be it. It should have been it, but something's still wrong.

I was in the mall and I screamed for no reason. In real life, not even in a dream. I'm so confused.

I left the Doctor and decided to stay in e-space because they needed me there. I suppose it was time for me to move on. No one can stay forever.

I did get to keep the tin dog though. Maybe k-9 will show up here, that would be nice. He could make me tea during the day.

It's embarrassing to call someone after a bad dream, but when you dream they die, you rather need to know they're still okay.

You all may call me crazy if you wish. What I would not give to be in the Mid-West, North-East or Southern part of the country during this harsh winter. From my understanding, it's harsh, at least. I would love to experience the snow as they are. Snow and ice, mainly ice, are my element. That's just who I am.
