My dreams have been on repeat recently, which is fine since I'm not waking up bruised all to hell like before. Last night, however, they moved forward finally. Muriel, the witch we've been hunting, came into the town after we'd captured one of her friends. They're collecting children, one born from each month, to do some sort of ritual with them. What that ritual does we don't know, but it's going to happen really soon in my dreams. I woke up right after she told me that she wasn't going to kill me there and then, which was odd since she very well could have, and then she tossed me out a window.

Needless to say I've got some cuts, and my head hurts but otherwise I'm okay. I would just like to know if we manage to save the children.

While it's absolutely darling that everyone is enjoying the shift in year, do you perhaps think you'd all be able to do it a little quieter. And stop getting so hung over people, I don't need more than my own to deal with.

Explaining to a professional exactly why I've overdosed on migraine medication would be decidedly uncomfortable for both of us, I think. And I would really hate to ruin a man just because he's not as delusional as most here.

New year, new round of weird dreams.

That hole in my bathroom got bigger after Cynthia died. You'd think after that entire experience I'd stay out of it. Nope! I crawl through it again. Instead of going back to the abandoned subway, I wake up lying in the middle of this random walking path in some Forrest somewhere.

At least I'm outside now, but it doesn't seem as if I can leave the forest. There are chainlink fences all over the place. I don't know if their there to keep me in or other things out.

You'd think, normally, that with a new year comes a new me! Well, I like the old me so that's not going to change that much, but what the old me does, now that's something that can change. At least a little.

Van Dyne Designs will be doing something a little different this year. Every month in 2016 we'll be running an amateur design contest. There'll be money prizes and at the end of the year we'll put all 12 winning designs into one final contest, with the winner earning a paid internship at my company! It'll be loads of fun!

And one more, unrelated thing.

I want to do a superhero roll call. You know who you are, but I don't!

Had a nice New Years. Maybe this year won't be so bad.

It is time that I offer my apologies to you all. As I understand it, snow is not uncommon in December here. You are no stranger to inclement weather. I do not know if it is often caused by one person, but in this instance I am to blame. I hope no one was harmed. I am...truly sorry. I will be stronger in the future, it will not happen again.

I did not know you were a member of this network. As it is, I have found some information if you still wish to meet. I have been informed to make clear this would be a professional dinner as there might have been miscommunication.

I made it an entire Christmas vacation without arguing with my pops. I'd call that a Christmas miracle if ever there was one.
