Not only is tomorrow Friday the 13th, but it's also the full moon. You would not believe how many times today, I've heard people saying that the extra crazies will be out tomorrow because of those two things happening at once. If I actually believed that bad things happened on Friday the thirteenth then I'd worry that I was in trouble tomorrow, but I highly doubt one has any bearing on the other.

However, it got me to thinking, is there anyone who believes that Friday the Thirteenth is unlucky?

Reminder since it's Friday the 13th: black cats are loveable and don't bring bad luck. Also, you should adopt one from one of the local shelters since they're less likely to find a nice home.

The strangest thing happened to me today.

So, on my way home from DL today, I stopped at Starbucks and I was joking around with the barista that he should give me my drink for free since I come in so often and he was just like, 'Okay.' and gave me my drink for me. I was pretty dumbfounded at first and it wasn't until I got home that I realized I must have compelled him despite the fact that I'm not a vampire yet. Unless he likes me and that's why he gave it to me for free.

I think I had those dreams everyone keeps talking about. I mean, I'm not really sure. They were kind of like my real life, but really different at the same time. I grew up in the French Quarter, but I was a witch. There was some ritual where me and three other girls were going to be sacrificed, but we would be resurrected, but it turned out that the Elders lied and I was the only one who survived. Marcel was there too and he saved me and hid me. I was apparently so powerful and so angry at the witches for using us that I was able to sense whenever the coven was doing magic. It was strange, but kind of cool too.

Protip: If you walked out on your wife and son, and blew a hell of a lot of money on spoiling your mistress? Don't expect your son to send you a Father's Day card.

I miss my wee lass, but I don't exactly want her to come out here to Orange County.

Trying to find a date as a vampire is totes harder than you'd think. I mean I could mez the person but that's skeevy as fuck, but when he or she sees my eyes it's like they've gone to nopetown. It sucks.

Well you get the occasional person who's way into it but most of the time that's kinda not a long-term thing.

And then there's the baby which is another nopetown kinda thing!

I just had a coworker as me to help them with getting their measurements. But with the measuring tape used for construction or measuring furniture, as opposed to the type used for sewing and taking body measurements....I tried to explain there's a difference but I guess she'll just have to make do with what we got?

I love my hammer.

Downside. Dreams getting freaky. Really cool. But freaky.

Plusside, I got a little present and it's the most badassed of presents.

I feel it's very important that you all know that I've made Miis of all of you in my game of Tomodachi Life. It's making work way more funny, and now I'm having problems separating game canon from real life sometimes.

Like, Dick, my love, whenever you post I wonder why you hate green peppers so much you barf and lose half of your happiness bar. And Arya, why do you obsessively run on your treadmill at 3AM?

This game is strange, but it's making life more fun, so I guess that it's doing its job!

So a full moon on Friday the 13th. That's gotta be lucky, right? Here's hoping nothing gets weird.

Meanwhile, I got the kids after my shift today, since Father's Day is coming up and surprises have to be planned.

Thor has his head under the couch, which clearly means I can't see him and will therefore not give him a bath to get glue and glitter out of his fur. Smart dog. So well hidden.

High school is officially over for me. I'm done. Valedictorian and all of that. Writing speeches aren't exactly my thing, but I'm going to try at least.

Now on to college. It better be so much better than this.

The damage done to the fields from the snow was pretty extensive, but the cows are fine. Just a minor setback in milk production.

Father's Day is Sunday, which means the kids keep running off and giggling every time they see me. Whispering lots of secrets with their mother.

They went off to Derek's last night to finish whatever presents are being made. I just hope we won't have a repeat of the Mother's Day pancake disaster, when we woke up to the smell of burning flour.

Thanks for that, Derek.

I'm officially a child of divorce.

Holidays this year will be swell. Wonder how the first tug-o-war of daughters is going to end up, but on the bright side, if we celebrate holidays separately, then our family dinners will taste less like a hateful relationship and more like pot roast.

I need to call my sister.

On the bright side, so glad I moved out. Tonight sounds like a night for rootbeer floats and partying. Anything crazy going on tonight? Or tomorrow night? C'mon, it's the weekend!

New dreams apparently means new gifts too.

So, leaving Gotham and giving up being Batgirl was apparently all part of a plan with Bruce from before he died. I kept in contact with Tim and went to Hong Kong. When Bruce returned, Tim visited me and asked me to return to the team and after some consideration, I did, but not as Batgirl. Instead, I became Blackbat.

And of course, when I woke up this morning, I found my Blackbat costume in the closet. I don't even know why I looked in the closet this morning, considering I haven't actually unpacked my clothes yet and there isn't anything else in the closet. But, I like this costume a lot better than the Batgirl one. I might have to take it out for a test run soon.

Finally managed to pull myself from the pit of despair and shame following Spain's complete humiliation against the Netherlands today. Worked my ass off to get in all my hours so I could be home on time to watch it. What a waste. I'd decided to give Casillas the benefit of the doubt, even if he does play for Real Madrid. Apparently that was a foolish hope to place, too. Of course that being said it was Xabi Alonso that saved us from total desperation with our one measly goal.

What a completely awful beginning.

E3 was pretty amazing this year. Not looking forward to getting back to work on Monday, but I am looking forward to getting a good night's sleep after the conference.

I think I need to go for a run or something. Anybody else into running? Just need to move or all I'm going to want to do is sleep. That seems lame for a weekend night before midnight.
