You earned that gold and bronze, I'm proud of you. I guess you won't be swimming home.







ooc congrats to our RL gymnast Aly Raisman ;)

I think The Crown forgives me.

Of course, I've bought about six rounds of drinks.

But still, they forgive me!

Up up and away to London! Imsoexcited.

Azula, you're on the same plane. Hi!

So I fell off the bars and they dropped my score. :(

But the team made it to the top anyway, and my floor routine redeemed us!

I hurt my shoulder, and the doctors were fussing over it. I have tests I have to pass before the team event on Tuesday. Wish me luck guys, I qualified for the individual Beam and Floor, I want to be able to compete!

There was a furry thing in my chinchilla's cage when I came in from London.

It won't stop chittering.

[Private to Zuko]

We need to talk about Mai.

All right, Valarnet. Here's what we're to do.

Our good friend Lorenzo is letting us watch the Games and most likely drink ourselves stupid in the process at the Black Cat Lounge. We've got a lot of friends competing, and they need our support, even if it's drunken support half a world away at eleven in the morning.

Hope to see you there.

Hi. I'm Tony.

Listen, I'm hearing a lot of chatter. Shit is getting exceptionally real these days. Dreams are out of control, people are finding themselves able to do all kinds of stupid stuff that if you'd asked any of us six months ago was possible we would have laughed.

The times, they are a changing.

So I had an idea in between of all the sex I'm having. Most of our dreams are full of conflict. Death. Bad juju.

If you're comfortable talking about it, maybe not here but somewhere, I'd like to start trying to figuring out the connections. If we, this select few, are all turning into Superheroes than maybe someone else is turning into a Supervillian.

[ Locked to Bruce, Steve and Thor ]

Hey. Need to talk to you guys all private like. Soon.

[ Locked to Pepper ]

Hey. I'm trying to contact some of these other people who are dreaming the same stuff I am. Steve is for sure, and there may be others. I just wanted you to know.

Love you.

Wbat exactly happened to me Tuesday? I remember the caffeine, and I'd picked up extras like I usually do. But then I started hallucinating and my heart was racing and it HURT about a second,and then I woke up in an ambulance, with some dickhead shouting orders about what to do with me and how only family could hitch a ride with them. I GUESS someone was arguing with them about it, and there's about three guesses as to who that was. No seriously about three people from there would try.

And now I'm mostly stuck in a hospital bed, bored, and being told not to move around too much, and hooked up to this stupid monitor that beeps whenever I try to take it off. I also want this oxygen tube OUT of my nose, and the IV's out of my arm. I hate just about all these things, and that, for some reason, I can't access my remote connection to work via my tablet.

The nurses weren't even that happy about letting me post here. They said if I went to the valarnet, there were bound to be more strippers showing up, and that was bad for my heart. I'm going to be here at least a couple of days stabilizing.

Who'd have thought the thing that I love most could be so deadly?

I only just got back into town and now I have to pack for London.

I feel like I havn't really prepared enough for all of this. I'm actually kind of nervous!

Like...

AAAAAAH!!!! THE OLYMPICS IS NEXT MONTH!!!! That kind of nervous.

I was hoping typing in all caps like that would make me feel better, but it really didn't.

I was perusing the internet last evening, while waiting for my nephew to return from his vacation, and I came upon this delightful game.

It is not at all like Go or Shogi, but for some reason I cannot seem to put it down.

The birds are so angry, and who can blame them? Such a horrible fate, having ones eggs stolen like that.

These adorable little pigs will pay for what they've done.

I think I need a hobby of some sort. Preferably of the stress-reducing kind.

Otherwise, I think I may actually end up throwing one of my students out a window next year.

Okay, where was that guy who was pondering inflicting me on his friend?

Because I could really use some inflicting right now.

Why the fuck do we need video billboards? There's enough shit drivers on the road without adding another bright shiny distraction.

i don't know why everyone's complaining about dreams

my dreams are awesome

It's always interesting to go back home to San Francisco, even for just an afternoon. Made some business contacts for the company. Naturally, I was perfectimpressed. Especially father.


[Locked to Ty Lee]

I need to talk to you.

Needed:

Three(all positions have been filled) handsome and strapping young men (Must be clean cut, able to work well with me, lean), and four three gorgeous women(doesn't matter the height, lean build, not afraid to undress in front of others), for a fashion shoot for the shop I work at.

Please contact me if interested, darlings.

You will be paid, and the magnificent pieces you wear can be taken home with you!

Really sorry to spam the network guys, but trust me, it's really important.

Peggy Carter? This is something I think you really need to see.

[Edit: 6/6/2012;800AM -- As this was nothing more than a ploy to get a certain person's attention, Obi-Wan blacks out this post.]

Today I can say I entertained the thought: How awesome would it be if this man hit me in the face? And meant it. It would have been awesome.

So then, boys and girls. It's just about time for things to get exciting.

Leaving aside the charity ball, we still have several auctions starting up, with the goal of fundraising to get our local athletes to London for the Olympics next month. They're leaving soon, so they'll have time to train at their various venues in advance, and that means that we need to step up our game in order to get them there.

I have six jackets, each of them very individualistic and one-of-a-kind, in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and 2X, all of which are dedicated to the dream of health and athleticism at every size, with a subtly Olympian motif. If you have questions, feel free to ask them, but the actual auction for them will end on Saturday night at the charity ball. If you absolutely must have one, please send me a private message with your maximum bid. I'll let you know if the ball's maximum bid at the silent auction is higher, so you'll have a chance to outmatch it, unless an assortment of people are all desperate for the same size, in which case... well, we'll see.

And, because I know well the power of the Internet to awe and amaze, I'm going to turn to you, boys and girls: Olympian athletes are not a corporation, and therefore sponsoring them to get to the Olympics can, and perhaps should, be crowdsourced. Nothing at all says that you can't donate $5 to help your favorite local athlete get a chance to shine. If a thousand people all donate whatever they have lying around in their PayPal accounts, I'm completely certain at least four teams would have their total expenses covered instantaneously.

Why is there is always an awkward moment when I go into a store to buy several bottles of aspirin, ace bandages, and icy hot. The clerk no doubtedly always asks me if I play sports (as if it is not evident already) and if so which one. That is when it gets awkward because I instinctively say I am a dancer... The old ladies always give me a look of disproval, the girls get jealous, and the men just check me out more and ask what I am doing later. When I tell them I am not one of those kind of dancers but a ballet dancer, no one believes me.

From now on I think I will tell people I am a football player, or a soccer player as Americans say. It might save me the hassle when it comes to buying aspirin.

I dreamed I bent fire to my will and created lighting. It was better than sex (sorry, Dick). There was this energy flowing through me.

Whatever I ate before that dream, I need to eat it again.

OKEY DOKEY VALARNET!

Here's my new track! I just keep dreaming them up, it's the craziest thing!

Let me know if you like it! Or if you don't! Or if you kind of like it recorded but think that a live remix might be better but admittedly that's because the club atmosphere is just that much more fun!

Also if you want pie because I'm kind of feeling snacky.

Right. Valar net, is it? I'd like to take this moment to announce that I think the vast majority of the internet is a fat load of cack and a festering vile pit of cyber-crime and hacking, and balding wrinkly old men trying to get into little girls' knickers while typing out convenient meeting places, one-handedly. The whole thing can go up in flames so that I can light a cigarette off it, and feel the burn of sheer pleasure racing through my lungs.

Except for the legitimate pornography. We can keep that. It can be preserved for posterity. Like fine art.

Now that I'm apparently stuck here close by Disneyland, which we all know was founded by a probable Jew hater and is quite literally my idea of hell on earth? Please, drooling worshipers of your monitor screens, be so kind as to give me pointers to where I can go to get absolutely tanked out of my bloody mind. Pubs. I need pubs. Because I've gone fourty minutes without something alcoholic being filtered through my liver. That is thirty minutes too long.

I might not survive.

Are you happy, Six? I finally got on this bloody thing. It only took me all day to set up. Who comes up with these things? They should be shot.

Hello dearies. We're going to have fun.

Dating sucks. If things keep going this way, I'm going to have to find a miniature breed of cats small enough to fit in my apartment.

The next two weeks are full of so many finals I think my brain my go all explody, but on the bright side I graduate on June 16th and then I will have a degree to do.. things with. I just sent out those save the date things my Mom made so I expect to see you guys at my graduation! It's sort of a big deal.

WOW CARMEN! You're super duper good! Wanna open for me next week?

And Sansa, I'm totally feeling tandoori tonight but I don't want to be a buttface and ask you to pick it up or something so let's go grab it together! THANKS BUDDY!

I do not recommend falling through the coffee table.

These dreams won't stop

I've been giving thought to taking lessons in something I've never done before. Preferably something physical, perhaps some form of martial arts. Any suggestions?

I don't know if anybody here is interested in this or not, but the Wayne Enterprises Grey Flannel Suits have their first game, a doubleheader tomorrow, starting at noon. If you want to come and laugh at a bunch of corporate employees while we try to play a game of ball, twice, we'll be playing on the field at Wayne Park, with a full concession stand, proceeds going to charity.

Against all sound advice, and sanity, I will be catching. Yes, I am scared too. So come on out to see me break my jaw again!

I havn't been in town that long and what time I've spent here has mostly been spent in training, but hi everyone! I'm Ty Lee.

My friend Jubilee is around here somewhere.

*waves*

Hi Jubes!

I just thought I'd introduce myself!

And I thought living here was going to be boring. In the month or so since I've gotten settled in here it's mostly been things like shooing bored kids away from the woods with their spray paint cans, beer bottles, and lighters. I havn't even gotten to shoot a tranq dart at wildlife yet. I'm pretty annoyed about that.

Then this week happens and it's like every exciting thing that could have happened over the last month just got packed into a few days.

I met a guy named Gandalf who posts on 'this crazy net thing', so you can blame him for my presence here, by the way.

Anyway, can someone tell me where I can go to get extremely drunk in the presence of people so I don't have to drink alone?

"Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly." - Sam Keen

What do I see, but my neighbor being carried into her condo by another woman. I'm going to need popcorn. And probably some earplugs.

So, I called the mole lady Nurse Hatchet, and she's surprisingly upset with me. Since my girlfriend's downstairs working (my girlfriend is awesome by the way, seriously, yours isn't as good, just accept it) I've got to come up with a way to pass the time, since now Hatchet is glaring at me and won't talk to me.

SO. Uncle Tony is going to help you fuckers out. Sounds great, right?

Treat this like an advice column. Ask me a question, and I'll try to help you through your life's problems and bullshit like that.

And I swear to God, if someone sends me strippers again I'm going to return the favor. With a male stripper.

A bear stripper. An old bear stripper. Unless you're into that kind of thing, which is okay, not judging, but then you get like, an old lady. I don't know, just don't send strippers seriously.

There's a solar eclipse today.

For those of us hungover, or just don't or can't go out, I found a cam!

Hiding behind doors... apparently it only works once.

My butt hurts and the words are getting fuzzy. Anybody else curious why my therapist keeps letting me steal his phone? Makes very little sense to me.

Now that I have time to myself for personal studies, I hardly know where to begin. My list is as long as the Great Wall of China and it's hard to narrow it down to just one. Any suggestions?

Although I may have an inkling of where to begin if there's a chance I can get Viktor off the hook before my parents make a move. I will not let them blackmail me into staying here or staying away from him.

Semester officially over. Believe this calls for celebration.

They aren't gone yet but that doesn't we can't start planning the PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR-TAY now.

So my I suggested to my father that we initiate a hostile take-over of some weak, goody-good competitor and my idiot older brother Zu Zu was his usual whiny bitch self. He can't see the big picture. He's spineless. And he takes it so personally when father listens to me, and not to him.

Maybe if he stopped wetting the bed his opinion would matter more.
