My dreams might be frustrating as hell at times but they do give me the best gifts. I woke up this morning to find my bike from them parked outside the Institute. I love my bike that I bought here but she can’t fly.

My mother knows that I'm a Warlock; I told my parents not long before mine and Alec's wedding. She knows I can't get sick, but she keeps calling me and texting me to make sure that I'm alright. And that Alec is alright. I've assured her multiple times in the last couple of days that I will be perfectly fine no matter what happens and that I won't let anything happen to Alec either. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if she has been texting Alec too. He hasn't said anything about it, but it's something she'd do.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mother and I love that she is concerned about us and I will continue to reassure her every single time that she asks me if we're alright. She's a mother; it's her job to worry about us.

Feyre needs to answer her phone. I know she wanted to explore the world, live for herself for once, but my dreams (nothing like hers) are getting stranger and I don't want to worry Elain with it. I was nearly....and I'm so angry in my dreams.

Can you be upset at your husband for being annoying in your dreams?

I have a laser sword in my dreams!

I'm seriously questioning the intelligence of the Jedi for giving a child a weapon like that. It does have safety features on it. But still - a laser sword, just given to a child.

Just heard someone outside scream, why is it always me? Why is it always fucking me? He did not seem happy in the least. I kind of wish I knew what he was yelling about cause I have so many questions. The first, of course, being why are you screaming outside in the middle of the night? I might not have been sleeping, but I'm sure there are other people around who are trying to sleep.

HAPPY MAR10 DAY EVERYONE! Hahaha man thank you whoever figured out how to make these Mario coin boxes float. Livin' the dream right now! I shoulda cosplayed for this 😂

I got the coolest thing from my dreams this morning! Okay, so my suit was the coolest thing, but this is cool too. Lead lined glasses. In my dreams, my father made them for me cause of my x-ray vision; lead is the only thing I can't see through so it helped me get my x-ray vision under control.

I don't really need them here since I have control over that power here, but it's nice to have them because of the sentimental value of them.

So we're looking to fill a few positions at Pandemonium and I thought I'd mention it here first to see if anyone would be interested. We're looking for another barback or two as well as security/a bouncer and a new assistant manager. And we can always use more bartenders as well. For anyone who is not familiar with Pandemonium, it's one of Orange County's Top 10 Gay Clubs. If anyone is interested, you can reply here or contact my husband or I. [Club Phone Number].

One of the reasons I bonded so much with Nico and Will's dogs so much when I met them, I think, is because I always wanted a pet of some kind. Mom... wasn't a fan. Cats, dogs, and rabbits all shed and birds were too noisy. And... then she started going all over the US to film her show, and we wouldn't be able to take a pet with us. So when I met Cesare and then Ziggy, I fell absolutely in love with them. How could I not? They were so sweet.

I still always wanted my own baby one day. And today... Nico came home with this adorable sphynx kitten. He claims he just found her. He always knew I wanted a house goblin one day, so that was very convenient. Still, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. ...Gift goblin, whichever.

Anyway, I want all of you to meet Nefertiti.

I got a bunch of dreams the other night and they are CRAZY.

So I am technically a bad guy but more like by association as I don't like shooting innocent people. Which for the First Order, that's kinda their MO. I was raised by them but I'm realizing this isn't what I want to do and I want OUT. I get my shot when I help spring a captured Resistance Pilot (Poe!) and we steal a TIE fighter and kick some ass! It was pretty epic. Space battle and PEW!PEW! and everything!

I don't have a name in the dreams, the First Order gives us numbers. Mine was FN-2187. Of ALL the names, the pilot names me FINN instead. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?? Then we get shot down and Poe, I think you died I end up wandering into a town on that desert planet I first dreamed about, Jakku.

Then Rey, you whack me in the face with your space staff. Explains the headache I woke up with ;)

Oh and then the First Order find us and we escape on this super old junker of a space ship and JUST when we think we're clear some old dude and a walking carpet capture us and board the ship like they own the place.

I got my roommate a present.

I don't know if she'll kill me or kiss me for it.

But it will be worth it to see the look on her face.

Nothing like spending Valentine's Day weekend in Chicago.

Wasn't too cold and it did snow, which I do enjoy and miss from NYC. I have such a great husband. ;)

I really wish my dreams didn't take months to happen. Especially not when in a lot of them we're in legit life or death situations. I hate not knowing what's happening to my friends in them. I finally found out what happened to one of our friends. Negan had taken him earlier and was keeping him captive so I went to try and infiltrate Negan's hideout, but I ended up getting there more or less exactly when Daryl was making his escape. So we went to Hilltop and not long afterwards Rick and the others showed up; they'd had a rather unfortunate visit from Negan at Alexandria and Rick wanted Hilltop's help to take him down, but of course Gregory said no. He's such a coward.

So then I decided it was time for Rick and the others to meet King Ezekiel. Yes, I said King. He calls his location The Kingdom and oh yeah, he's got a tiger. A legit tiger. I kind of forgot to tell Rick and the others about Shiva though and their reactions were pretty amusing. In the end Ezekiel didn't want to risk the deal he had with Negan and the Saviors, but he let Daryl stay at The Kingdom where it was less likely that Negan would find him. So things aren't looking that great, but we're trying to stay as optimistic as we can.

Now lets hope it doesn't take another six months for me to have another dream to find out what happens next.

GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

MY DREAMS ARE ALSO A MUSICAL. OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSS.

So, I left my tower and then Flynn decided to take me to this place called The Snuggly Duckling, which is a pub filled with a lot of ruffians and thieves. Things were looking a little scary but THEN we started to sing a song about our dreams! One guy with a hook wants to be a pianist, there's a florist, an interior designer, a baker, and one guy collects tiny ceramic unicorns! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Of course they all became nice after we sang, but we had to run due to the palace guards coming after us.

That lead to a chase, a dam we have to escape, and getting trapped in a flooding cave. We were close to dying, but I was able to sing to light up my hair and find a way out. Who knew that leaving the tower would be so dangerous; all this just to see some lanterns (goodness).

Anyone else hear that Planters killed Mr. Peanut? I haven't seen the commercial yet, but I just saw the twitter post on it. The best part of it was other corporate twitters responses to it. I wonder what made them decide to kill off an iconic mascot like that.

I would like to take time to thank all of you for helping Lizzy's thrive.


You've help me live out one of the dreams of baking/cooking for a living and I'm grateful.


Now I want to make everyone favorite desserts.


Tell me what you like and I'll make it then put it in the storefront to purchase!

If you want an order from Izzy's for Christmas, the cut off is tonight.

All orders will be delivered on 24th!

While I still enjoy celebrating my birthday, which was Sunday, it does feel a little strange when I remember that I'm not actually aging. I'm fairly certain I stopped aging about five years ago, when I was twenty, which would make sense since I was about nineteen or twenty when it happened in my dreams. In a few years I'm going to have to magic up a fake ID or something because when I'm forty people are simply going to believe that my current ID is fake if I still look twenty. Oh well, I suppose I have plenty of time until I have to deal with that.

So...I've been back in the area, for about a week.

Now, that I've explained things to my dad (aka calmed him down), most things are starting to feel normal again...mostly. I'm ready to start socializing again but I have to minimize how much I put myself out there, even with the fitness classes. The latter may prove to be quite difficult but it's for the best.

Image yourself trapped within an army base, you just watched the person who was like a parent to you die and suddenly the Mogadorian want to experiment on you, because you can't die unless all the Gardes are together.

I was dissected, shot, drowned, bleed out, beat to death, lobbed in the head with something, too many things to even try and explain.

I woke up with a searing pain on my leg, two runes appeared like I had in my dreams.

As everyone is probably aware, Halloween is next Thursday so of course Pandemonium will be hosting a Halloween party. I know there's another party on some space ship ;) but I'm sure not everyone will be going to that party. Then again, who said you could only go to one party? Either way, doors open at six on Halloween and not only will we have a costume contest at the end of the night, but we'll have a signature Halloween drink as well.

Now to get back to figuring out my costume.

I have acquired a Wendy Darling costume for Mare, and I will be dressing up as Peter Pan. She's finally old enough to enjoy candy, but Daddy has convinced her that she needs to give him the peanut butter cups.

Is it strange that I dream about a zombie apocalypse and I really want to see the new Zombieland movie? One would think that I'd have enough of zombies, but oddly enough I still like zombie related things. I think in this case it's because the zombies are quite as deadly/scary as the ones in my dreams.

Honestly, fuck my dreams. They're getting progressively worse. Like I said before, the only good thing has been the clothes that have shown up in my closet after the dreams. I need to find a place to wear the dress that showed up this morning.

Also, I found out that there's a place in Loria called The Cock Barrens. It's legit a large group of purple rocks that look like penises. I shit you not. It's safe to say that Fillory and Loria are the most bizarre places ever.

On a better, more superficial note, I looked good today.

( Selfie Time )

Happy birthday to the best friend and boyfriend this girl could ever ask for.

Simon, I hope you have a great day!

This weekend I'm having a soft open of my bakery Izzy's.

Everything will be pumpkin theme from lattes to the muffins till Sunday night.


I hope everyone stops by, even just to say hi!

That was the strangest feeling I woke up to this morning. I'm connected to my magic all the time, but that was like magic x1,000. I woke up so quickly that I scared the Chairman and he jumped off my bed and that startled me and I almost blew a hole through the wall. Caught myself at the last moment, luckily. While I could have used magic to fix it, I just didn't want to have to deal with that. For once I was glad that Alec wasn't here. Wouldn't have wanted to accidently hurt him or something.

The bakery/cafe is coming along nicely.

I need to start hiring help soon. Anyone want a job in serving food department, hit me up.


I still need to think of a name...

It will come to me.

So I had another fun dream about the Shadowhunter Academy last night. A couple of us were tasked with finding a rogue vampire so of course a couple of the others started asking me about being a vampire, but I didn't remember any of that since my memories still hadn't come back about that time. They didn't believe me at first. Honestly, some of those Shadowhunters are dicks. Anyway, the vampire was in Brooklyn, so we were dispatched and when we found her, she begged me to let her go cause she recognized me of course. I hesitated and almost got both me and Jon killed, but Isabelle showed up but someone showed up and killed the vampire and since Jon had gotten knocked out, he thought I'd done it when he came to. Once we were back at the Academy I basically got in an argument about Downworlders and the way Shadowhunters treat them, with some of the kids.

In the end, Catarina told me a story, where the moral was basically about me choosing my own path and I started to remember more about Clary cause she came to see me and talked to me about some stuff and so yeah, it's fun going to school with a bunch of elitist assholes. I just hope that if I make it through all this training and become a Shadowhunter, maybe I can help change things.

In more fun news, some Gen 5 Pokemon were released in PokemonGo today and I've already caught four of them plus I caught a shiny version of an older Pokemon that I've been searching for forever! Yes, I know, all of that is incredibly nerdy, but it's what I like to do.

Lets talk about the undergarments of the 1800's.

Slimming as ever, but hurt like a hell.

No wonder woman broke ribs, fainted, or their body changed to adjust.

Had to chase a mark today. Ended up in front of him somehow, then accidentally threw him against a wall. I seem to have miraculously gotten super fast and strong overnight.

Whatever is going around the OC, I caught it. This morning when I was running late to get to my class at the gym, one second I was standing in my kitchen and the next I was in my office. Scared the shit out of Jace, who was already there.

So, my question is, does that ability sound familiar to anyone, cause it's definitely not from my dreams.

Pimpernel Outreach is taking donations for people in the Bahamas. Non-perishable foods, clothes, any necessities, we will take it all. I will be having a helicopter make some airdrops to the Bahamas. They can certainly use all the help they can possibly get.

Just laying on the floor in my workshop

I can hear the heartbeats of practically everyone in this building why did I hire so many people that was a mistake they're all very loudly alive right now

This guy won't stop bringing me coffee I'm glad I didn't ask Anna to do it because she's even more loudly alive than regular people

Gonna die on this floor with coffee cups on the floor around me like some kind of shrine

My next door neighbor's car alarms have gone off at least three times tonight. I have no idea what's going on, but it's getting a little out of control. And there it goes again. This had better not continue all night. I'll never be able to sleep if this keeps happening.

Dreamed I agreed to write for the school paper last night. I guess that's one way to use my voice.

In these dreams I'm always wearing a hat. It's pretty specific. A beanie, turned up and cut into points so it looks kind of like a crown. I guess it resembles a whoopee cap, from like the 40s? I don't know. It's definitely not stylish today.

There was one sitting there beside my phone when I woke up this morning. Like, if it's a birthday present or something, great, thanks. But. Um. Kinda creepy. Do items from dreams manifest often? How is that even possible?

But here's the thing. I put it on and it felt right. Am I going crazy?

The human Queens in my dreams proved to be unhelpful, except for the young golden one who snuck us the second book we needed, but I get the impression they were all under duress and she was rebelling. She told us one of their number was already dead. There was another who was ill, but she's probably dead as well.

In order to try to ... gain their trust, we revealed the existence of our city, the one Rhys had carefully kept hidden from the enemy for decades.

We didn't realize the Queens were compromised until the attack came. The enemy dropped the golden queen's body to signal they knew she'd betrayed them.

There's an... art district, called the Rainbow. I was there when they attacked, and I defended it with all the power at my disposal, and the elements around me.

It felt so fucking good tearing those monsters apart.

Came home with a title and some prize money, so who's awesome? I am. You can't spell awesome without Me. Yeah, that was a Taylor Swift reference, what are you going to do about it? Nothing, I hope.

Because water bending healing doesn't do *anything* for broken noses or a sprained thumb and I am suffering, okay? Plus I'm pretty sure the flight home gave me a cold. That is *not* awesome, and I have no idea how blowing my nose is going to work out except extremely painfully.

I mean, I'm the Avatar, so I can deal, but still. Ow.

Anyway, where's my hot girlfriend at? We desperately need tacos. Tacos, and medication.

I had a suitably epic return in my dreams, following a vision to prevent Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard.

In other words I kicked the ass of Surtur, the satanic ruler of Muspelheim, which is basically a hellscape, and fought a dragon as I escaped.

Now I've his crown hanging on my wall, since that's the closest thing to a trophy room I have here.

I'm pretty sure that's actually his skull.

Pretend Thor is taking a selfie in front of this hanging on the wall

Every year I tell myself that I won't go to the family get together out in the middle of fucking nowhere and yet every year I go and immediately regret my decision.

Like who the fuck does that shit for fun?

If I ever mention a family get together in the future would somebody please remind me not to go and instead stay home where there aren't bugs and dirt.

I will never understand my dad's obsession with fishing.

I can't believe that there is seriously a meme about everyone just up and storming Area 51. I mean, you're right, they can't stop all of us. I agree. If there is actually a big enough turn out, it would be really hard to stop us all. I mean, quite a few people are going to get killed doing that, and do you really want to be the idiot that dies for a meme?

Now if you really wanted to take that sentiment of "they can't stop all of us"... maybe turn it towards something that would actually be worth it. Maybe towards protesting the actual child concentration camps? Take that energy and put it towards something that actually fucking matters.

It's always weird when customers want our empty bottles...even if they are Pride-related. You know, rainbow colored. Still, it's not exactly safe to hand out glass bottles to customers. Even in the VIP where they can purchase bottles to have in the area, we still can't let you have the bottle. And now, I'm the asshole bartender/co-owner...of course, they only know of the former until they insult me.

Anyway, guess we need to put signs up behind the bar that say we can't hand out bottles.

I swear, it's like a completely different language is being spoken out here. How can there be so many linguistic changes from one coast line city to the next? I just moved from San Fran, not from Lebanon. I should be able to make people out.

I really hope it's the pot doing this to their brains.

I am getting super annoyed with spam bots blowing my phone up. No matter how many numbers I block, there's still just as many each day as there was the last. Part of me wants to just keep my phone on silent to avoid them, but what if it's my parents, my boss, Alice, people I actually want to talk to?

And why do they have to blow my phone up when I'm trying to sleep? I have a month left of vacation before I go back to working towards two degrees. I'm not blowing your phones up in the middle of...



...You know what, is anyone here good at hacking? So we could figure out who owns these spam bots and give them the same wakeup calls?

Possible TMI, not that I care really. If there’s one thing I love about having a private roof top terrace, it’s that I can sunbathe nude without worrying anyone seeing me. Well, aside from Alexander that is. ;)

Well my dreams just took an extremely dark turn. I mean, we live in a zombie apocalypse so it's to be expected, but yeah, I wasn't expecting that at all.

As horrible as things have gotten, I won't lie and say that I didn't enjoy seeing Maggie punch Gregory in the face.

Nothing like coming home to Katarina having my bike waiting for me.

I visited the parents and went riding for awhile.


Did the OC get more populated since I've been gone.


Anyways, Hi, I'm Maren.

Dreaming of being little kids with Alec again, was kinda of a nice stroll down memory lane. Minus the training we were doing in the dreams.


Anyways, big day for me.


I've decided I'm going to open a cafe, mainly focus on desserts. So my Sous-Chef Max and I are going to go look at a few places to see if I want to lease it.

Wish us luck.

Lucky the library is already open. Anyone know a website for jobs? I've been putting out physical applications, and now have to apply for a lot of places online. A lot of stuff is done online these days, huh? Haven't really been out here since 2014, and now this.

Online's really not my thing. But gotta get a job. I'd appreciate help.

[Edited 7:35am.]

My name is Setsuna Mudou, btw. Call me Mudou.

50 years ago today Apollo 11 was launched. A large step for humanity traveling into the vastness of space. Who knows where we shall be aiming for in another 50 years. Sending astronauts to Mars? Venus? Somewhere beyond Mars? It will be fascinating to see where we go from here.
