Some of my co-workers were talking about this website, so I thought I might join up too. I've lived here for a year or so, but haven't made many friends yet. But I hear my cousin's on this thing too! YUNIE ARE YOU HERE? And Ben, my co-cousin? COMMENT IF YOU'RE HERE YOU GUYS

But yeah, yay for Stark Industries, woop woop!

How is everyone?

That moment you work out that your family members aren't the only ones in need of therapy. Hello, Valarnet, today's been AWESOME, why do you ask?

I put on a ton of sunscreen and I still got sunburnt. Go figure.

Have the animals shut up yet? I haven't really been paying attention. Mostly I keep my headphones on so I don't have to put up with their singing or whatever.

It's so annoying.

There are new pictures of me modeling some of Peter's clothing in the newest magazine of.. whatever. I forget the name. Vogue maybe. I think I look amazing.

Who wants to take me to dinner? I need company.

I've finally given in to popular culture and signed up to this whole blogging thing. The next thing I know, I'll be tweeting too. I'm sure it all goes downhill from here. Once you prescribe to one social norm, there's no escaping.

I suppose I should introduce myself then, since I'm already going to Hell in a handbasket.

My name's Cesare Borgia. I live in Sacramento most of the time, although I always somehow end up back in Anaheim. I'm going to blame that on my mother's cooking. I just can't stay away.

I think I recognize some of you guys from UCB, although I did spend most of my time there high paying attention to my studies... or something like that.

So what's the custom now? Is this where I invite people to reply to me in the hope of making new friends? If so, have at it. My sister's always telling me I should be more sociable.

Well, just got out after an overnight stay in the cells for brawling and there's still weird stuff going on in the OC. Who's up for round 2?

Why do most women's hats look completely ridiculous?

Can't I just find something that isn't huge and floppy and has flipping flowers all over it? I mean come on people. It's not that hard.

I'm actually dreading the end of this week. I've actually been on decent shifts so knowing my luck I'll go back to the sporadic unsociable hours for the whole of July, it's pretty much the way my karma works. I must have done something terrible in a previous life.

I guess on the plus side the more tired I am from random shifts the less dreaming I do. That's one good thing.

Have you ever had a dream so bad that you were just horrified by the idea that other people from your dreams will eventually have it too? I want to sit outside his window all night with a megaphone and randomly shout things to keep waking him up. He probably doesn't need to sleep anyway.

So I actually made it to the end of school. Thank whatever is out there that it's all over. Skipped graduation ceremony thing. Load of rubbish anyway and I don't need to attend to collect my official bit of paper in a few weeks anyway.

So now to sort out what I'm doing. Few jobs lined up already which is good. Might just see where that takes me to be honest.

With the Supermoon that we had this weekend, I am extremely glad that my Lycanthropy from my dreams has no bleed over. Obviously I have no idea if it would make a difference since it's also a full moon, but I can't help but think the transformation would be worse, considering the moon is closer to earth tonight.

My tea sets.

They are singing.

I can't believe my parents flew in for my graduation! I had no idea. And they're staying through my birthday. I don't know what my Uncle Frodo said, but it must have worked.

I really enjoyed traveling crosscountry. Camping out each night, and working on controlling my new abilities, and discovering new ones, it really felt like an adventure. Something out of the books, you know? I wrote a lot down and maybe, well, maybe that will make it into a new book.

In the meantime, I've been reading about how everyone down in the OC is experiencing talking animals and such. I hope everyone is having fun with that!

Awwww, I wish Ginger was talking. Now I don't want to be in new York.

If I thought that the dogs that my grandchild own were annoying before, that was nothing compared to the fact that they can apparently talk now. In all my years I have not once come across a talking animal aside from a parrot. Would anyone care to explain why animals are suddenly able to speak English? It's very unsettling, to say the least.

...Hearing my tortoises speak is actually kind of traumatic.

Why does this crazy stuff keep happening?!

We have no reason to believe that the phenomenon that started today is malicious. As with most things that happen around here I'm sure it will be over in a few days.

YOU HAVE BEEN CORDIALLY INVITED
TO THE WEDDING RECEPTION OF
TENOH HARUKA & KAIOH MICHIRU.
( Rest of the invite after cut )

So, I guess these dream things only get weirder and weirder. And start changing you in real life, too? Man. Does anyone know what started this? Or causes it?

Because this is freaking me out.

Oh, and I'm in Canada at a model shoot, which I wasn't going to be able to make until an apparent ability to run very, very fast, but not control how far I go or how long it lasts, kicked in. Ended up in South Dakota and got a bus from there.

I'm glad I did, because the shoot is awesome and the scenery is pretty cool. I just wish I'd made it under my own decision.

As weeks go, this one doesn't seem to be great. I'd really appreciate it if the universe would stop messing with my friends and family.

Now I'm worried something will happen while my mom's in town, and I'll forever hear about how I tried to kill her by bringing her to a war zone or how I should have planned for a. . . fairy invasion or some nonsense like that.

Hello, Valarnet. Are you ready for your closeup?

Well, there's that tattoo again. Came back fresh and that's a laugh n'a half, ain't it.
Assuming that means most everyone else is back to themselves, huh? L? M? Any letters in between?

Oh wait, there are no letters between those.

Huh.

Sunshine! And no instaburn! I'm pushing up the party time to 3pm, if anybody wants to help set up. I am going to dip myself in sunscreen and spend the day outside.

Well... that really... takes the cake

I guess I get to be the latest candidate on the OC's favorite gamer show, Who's a Dreamer? And man? My dreams really kind of are the annoying kind. Who wants to be a genetically engineered pseudo-clone of a freaking clone? What the hell is that all about?

And brainwashed? My dreamself is a puppet, with no will of his own and no thoughts of his own. This is seriously a freaking weird thing to dream.

So, just checked my mail, only to find a card from my parents in there. A birthday card.

Is it bad that I totally forgot about the fact that my birthday is this week? I mean. I haven't missed it yet or anything, but I seriously haven't even thought about it. What kind of fun can anyone possibly get up to on a Thursday, anyway?

A few more weeks and I'll be free from this plague we call high school. I won't miss it really, I won't. The adults always tell you you will miss it but they're lying. They really just miss their youth not that dreaded place. I am certainly buying myself a new camera as a reward for making it through.

I'm going to have a beach party on Friday evening before I leave town. Anybody want to join me? Say, around sunset?

Don't worry, I don't think I'm leaving for good. Just a little working vacation to kick off the summer.

I missed the enrollment period for university. How could I be so stupid?

Maybe I'll end up having to go back to England after all.

Hello, Valarnet. A friend recommended this place to me and I thought why not? My name's Match, and I'm a model and an aspiring writer. I've got one book out and hopefully will follow with more.

I'm starting classes at UoC: Irvine, this fall, and have lived around here most of my life. I just wanted to pop on, say hello, and see what sorts are hanging about on here.

It's entirely possible that I'm single .. again.

So who wants to go drink?

So, if anyone here cares? Me and Minako got engaged. Some of you might have heard from her insane radio show. But if you didn't, there's that.

I NEED THINGS TO DO AT PLACES WITH THE PEOPLE!

WHO IS WITH ME!
