Network

It's that time of year...

My lease is almost up and I need to start looking at a new place to live. Anyone know of any places that are open? I would be okay with sharing a place, with someone, as I am more on the social side.

Hey, network people, I need some help.

For awhile I had this amazing gig as a personal assistant but my boss moved away. I don't know if anything can compare to being a PA for Dracula but I'm glad I can make portals pretty easily because he's one of my favorite people ever so I visit often. ANYWAY, point is, I need a new job? Does anyone know of anything out there?

I have a part-time gig at the amazing Victrola (check it out and come see me dance if you haven't already) but considering I live with a gazillionaire I'd like to try to pull my weight a little more. As far as skills go, I am limber, flexible in all ways, used to teach yoga and manage a strip club, and I also speak Arabic. Oh, and since I have the weird dreams that also means in my other life I was a Princess with shadow people magic.

شكرا which is pronounced 'shukraan' and means 'thank you'!

I had a WEIRD AND WONDERFUL dream last night.

I lived in this town in the desert--Night Vale--and there, I was a radio host at the quaint, community radio station. There, I reported on things that needed reporting, such as the City Council opening a dog park that, they and I were sure to let everyone know, was not for dogs. DO NOT APPROACH THE DOG PARK. DO NOT APPROACH THE HOODED FIGURES IN THE DOG PARK, I told everyone. And this was so completely normal.

Also, there is a wonderful old woman named Josie and she has angels that live with her. REAL ANGELS.

But okay, the most important part of the dream is this: a scientist came to town with a group of other scientists and he is so handsome, like, I can't even begin to explain. LITERALLY MY DREAM MAN. He has a perfect jaw and perfect teeth and a perfect face and perfect hair and basically perfect everything.

I met him face-to-face and he said that Night Vale is by far the most scientifically interesting community in the U.S. He then smiled at me, and I fell in love. I'm not kidding, I just... I fell in love right then and there.

His name is Carlos and I wish he was real. BRAIN, WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME? WHERE DID CARLOS COME FROM?

I am so done with these dreams. Why can't I quit?

Except, I kind of want to know what happens next. Because I know something is gonna happen. Something always happens.

Sometimes it's even good stuff. Like, dude. I scored the winning goal in a Championship match. And then I got kidnapped and beat up, but. But I scored the winning goal! I hardly ever even get on the field, and I scored! Not once, not twice, three times in a row!

And then more bad things happened, but we all survived, I guess that's what's important.

What happened?

Did not think it would be this hard, everyone talking about their moms all weekend. The good news is that both Mom and Dad have new numbers so I can't call them, and they moved away so I'm not tempted to go see them. They're happier thinking I'm dead.

I've been having dreams the last few nights. Glaber caught us unprepared and we paid for it. We got chased up a mountain by Glaber's forces. Once our supplies started to go, a couple of idiots tried to breach the troops keeping us trapped up there. Spartacus went to go retrieve them and...well, not everyone made it back. Mira was killed.

It's weird. I don't know her here but I'm still sad about her death. She was a warrior just the same as the rest of us and she died a warrior's death, but...it still feels wrong.

On the plus side, I finally got to meet Ashur, just in time to see Naevia take his fucking head off, and Spartacus came up with yet another fucking mad plan to save us all. Four men climb down the mountain, take out the troops guarding the path, create a distraction so that the rest of us can slip down, and we fuck them up. It worked, they turned tail and ran, and we chased them and ambushed them at the temple. Spartacus got his revenge. Glaber is dead. It's a victory but I know that there's more to come.

And in personal news, I passed my finals and I'm going to go shove all of the burritos into my mouth in celebration.

It's safe to say my dreams are continuing on, and they certainly aren't sunshine and daisies. I think it's important I write all of this down to look back on later. Anyway -- We did run into a satyr! And Percy, you're going to find this strange I think, but the satyr's name was Grover. He promised to take us to a safe place, but he wasn't really great with directions and we ended up taking one too many wrong turns.

Right into a Cyclop's lair. A Cyclops! You know, just when you think you can't find anything weirder? Things gets weirder. Of course I was the only one who wasn't captured which meant little seven year old me had to figure out a way to save everyone because I wasn't about to just let them all die. Not after everything. Eventually, I was lucky enough to find them. Not so lucky for them I found them hanging over a pot. Not a very promising happy ending for them, really. Things didn't get any better from there. That mean old Cyclops tried to trick me by using my Dad's voice! Now, that's just cruel and unusual punishment for a seven year old. But you know what? That Cyclops wasn't going to fool me. I stabbed him in the foot! I stabbed him! Thankfully, I was able to untie Thalia who was able to do the rest for me.

You would think that things would have gotten better after that, but they didn't. More monsters kept coming, and we couldn't outrun them. And Thalia, she ..stayed behind so that the rest of us could escape. I can't really explain what happened next, but I know it wasn't good for Thalia. Before I knew it she was ..a pine tree. A tree.

A real life tree!

We made it to where we needed to be because of her. I know things would have been worse if it wasn't for her. I could just tell. We made it to Camp Half-Blood, but she didn't make it there with us.

I think I need a vacation from these dreams.

So Matt Murdock is a dick in my dreams...

So from what I'm gathering, these dream things are something people talk about a lot here?

Apparently, I got dumped in my dreams

Like most people I listen to music while I work out. Only today while I was on the treadmill, my playlist went from Papa Roach to that song from fucking Mulan.

Thanks sis.

Okay, since I'm officially under house arrest and my car keys have been stolen (not like I can fit behind the wheel anymore anyway), I need some help.

Netflix suggestions. I'm going cross-eyed reading and movement isn't all that great an idea, so I need something to rot my brain. Nothing overly long, I've got two months before free time will be a long forgotten memory, but I need some stuff to watch.

I'm so glad I only have one more final. This first year was tough but I made it through with all of my limbs and most of my sanity in tact.
