I am so over these dreams. I just want to break something. My family in these dreams are insane and we're all horrible people. My own mother possessed me in an attempt to figure out how to kill all of us because we are abominations. I've watched my family members die and I've helped kill people as well. Is this really what being a vampire consists of? I just want to forget all about these dreams and just go on living like a normal person.

Ugh, I look crazy with tears running down my face and I'm not actually able to make a sound. Damn this Wednesday. I am staying in bed all day.

Ended up at the hospital today. Doctors say that Christina is on the way. Excited and terrified. Please wish me luck!

Had quite the time trying to get my keys back from my daughter this morning. She's reached that age where she wants to do everything for herself. She's also learned the word "party" and what it means so she keeps asking if we'll have a party so she can see everyone...except, you know, in her own way. But sometimes she gets "party" confused with "potty". At least she's learning words.

Nothing like moving boxes all day, only to wake up in the middle of the night with a shit load of dreams that play through my head and end in a fucking cliffhanger. Yeah, not cool. Shit's about to get real.

Did anyone else know that a werewolf bite can kill a vampire? Damn venom anyway. I don't even think I should mention my in-laws, who just showed up in those dreams.

Now I can't sleep.

So, Stefan and I went to see Bon Jovi the other night. It's been our thing since high school and it never gets old. Although, I've been kind of bummed by the drama going on between Jon and Richie Sambora. Richie is so much better than that random dude they have in his place right now. Either way, the concert was awesome and I got to spend time with my bestie, which I don't get to do so much of now because he's all parenty now. :p

Well, I feel like wedding planning would be going much better if I didn't have to deal with these damn dreams. I thought I was in the clear for a while, but apparently not. Mystic Falls is such an interesting place that it needs to appear in my dreams once again. There's just too much craziness going on and it's really making my head spin because everyone is so different here than they are there.

I am such a bitch in my dreams. And everyone is out for my family. At least I can say that my family tends to stick together. I really don't enjoy seeing this side of myself though. I know that my family isn't perfect here, but holy crap at what we do in these dreams. It's not okay.

[Finn]
Do you know someone named Sage?

[Damon]
Where are you in the dreams? Because some more things happened between us and they're kind of crazy.

It is nice to get a break from work. Sometimes I do feel that I am neglecting more important things by letting myself get caught up in my job, though I do enjoy it.

( Katherine )

Like you. It feels as though it's been far too long since I have seen you, my dear.

Who thinks Dad will let me do an independent study next semester?

So much has been going on lately. I think the hardest thing has been trying to figure out how to start wedding planning. Obviously neither Loras or I have been married before, so the most we've been doing is looking at various wedding planning sites and none of them are really very helpful, so this wedding planning is harder than I'd thought it would be.

I can't believe Halloween is coming up already. With my recent dreams it seems kind of silly since we're one of those monsters you were taught to fear around this time, but it also adds to the mystery of the holiday. I've gotta figure out a costume for myself and Natalia. Maybe I'll try to do something with Stefan as well and we can do a big group costume.

I know my family will each have an opinion, but ideas for Natalia's costume will be received here. Anyone on the network can feel free to comment!!! Can be individual or a group costume. I'm trying not to do the typical pumpkin costume. It'll be interesting since she can walk by herself now.

I think during the next family dinner, there's going to be some giant argument about who Nat's favorite uncle is. WHO WILL BE VICTORIOUS?

I had to get a sub today, probably tomorrow too.

Fuck.

This is not a normal hangover.

I think my head might explode. I never saw the truck coming. Going back to bed.

I've been so nonstop busy between work and crazy wedding planning I haven't had much time to check this stuff. Uh, sorry.

I have a shoot this weekend too and guess who's coming along? A certain little girl.

[filtered; Damon & Nik]

Alright, so...I'm going to ignore the weirdness I've started dreaming about and focus on the fact we need tuxes for the wedding.

[/filter]

I don't know what causes these dreams, but it was like it knew that today was my birthday and that we had just gotten home and gave me the most sucktastic dream ever last night. Way to ruin my good mood and my birthday.

Thanks to everyone who came yesterday. I told you it would kick ass.

Now, where's the fucking opt out button for these dreams. Dream me is a dick. No more. And then to top it all off, I woke up with a special surprise. First I killed Lexi, then turned Isobel who is Elena's mom, shit's not cool, I blamed my brother, killed Jeremy, I can't even keep all this shit straight. And I have fucking fangs. Fangs and feelings. I'm not even going to go into what happened with Katherine. FUCKFUCKFUCK. Then there is Elena who I do -

Now me and my best friend Jack Daniels are celebrating.

So, I'm curious. Does anyone else have a big, manly boyfriend who screams like a girl on roller coasters?

School is about to start up soon and I know I'm going to need something to do to take my mind off of it every once and a while. So, I had a great idea. There seems to be a lot of new mothers and mothers-to-be on the network. Would anyone be interested in creating a Mommy Group? Doesn't have to be a very strict group, just whenever we can all get together (with or without the children) and just talk about life. I don't feel like some of the other moms in the area would fully understand the weirdness that goes on here.

Let me know!

This all feels so weird. I wish there was something we could do for Elena, Katherine and Jeremy, but nothing is going to take away the pain of losing their parents. I hope they find the scum sucking asshole who did this to them and fry his ass.

Should we bring anything to the funeral or to the wake? I've never had to do something like this before.

[Filtered to his Siblings, Stefan and Tatia]

This has made me realize though that....no matter how angry I am at mom and dad for everything they've done, I'd still be destroyed if I lost them. I'd go insane if anything happened to any of you though.

I love you guys.

So I see people, not changed people with unnatural body parts, and you know what that means. The Magic Mountain trip is calling.

Next Saturday, the 24th.

Who's up for this?

So, this might sound strange, but this probably isn't the worst thing that has ever happened to me. In fact, I'm extremely amused by this. I was lucky enough to swap with my boyfriend, so at least it's a body I'm pretty familiar with and I at least know what he'd do with my body. I also got to give him princess lessons, cause I can't afford to call out this week since we have our cruise next week. I do hope this is over by then though cause I would like to enjoy my anniversary in my own body.

This is actually a perfect opportunity for me to buy Huck some new clothes and I can be sure to get all the right sizes. It's so hard to shop for other people sometimes.

Well, that was quick. I thought I was done with dreams for a bit, but ended up having more. They were very short dreams, which was nice. However, I was literally stabbed in the back by someone and left neutralized until Damon and Elijah decided to undagger the rest of my brothers and myself. And then my supposedly dead mother walked into the room to surprise us. This is such a bad soap opera.

In other, happier, news - Natalia took her first steps yesterday. She was very wobbly, but she managed to make it a little bit before falling on her butt. Quite adorable and yes, I managed to get a video of it because she tried it a couple more times. I also managed to yell really loudly and get Stefan downstairs to witness. Now it's time to make sure everything is out of her reach.

I've been back in town now for almost two months and aside from working and catching up with my family, I haven't done much else. I was only gone for six years, but it feels like so much has changed and I'm not entirely sure what to do with my free time.

And I thought I was good to go on dreams since they hadn't hit me yet, but apparently not. And I'm apparently a terrible person in these dreams as of right now. Klaus and I invaded the high school and were completely horrible to people I actually know here! Elena, Stefan, Caroline, and some of their friends. Something about dopplegangers and Elena having the necklace I really want. And to make things even more awkward, I've enrolled in the high school and I'm living with the Salvatores because Klaus ditched me. And apparently I want to date Caroline's random boyfriend that I've never met. This is like the weirdest repeat of high school drama ever.

How do you tell your family about dreams that greatly affect them? I've seen our "past" in my dreams and I'm afraid to tell them.

[Filtered to Mikaelsons - minus Henrik]
We need to get together to discuss these dreams. I've had some very important ones that we need to talk about.

I guess I was about due for another one of those dreams. I'll admit, it was pretty cool that I could compel Katherine to do anything I wanted. Wouldn't it be nice if I could do that? And I did get a sick sort of pleasure from her begging me to kill her But apparently dream-me had been chasing her for 500 years.

Also, Stefan and Damon had a daggered Elijah in their basement, what was that about?

I didn't look like me, for most of the dream, but at the end some witches did some kind of spell and then I was in my own body. Which was in a coffin.

These dreams are fucking weird, man.

Who else dreams of being a vampire? Or is one? I am simply curious. I have not heard of the boy from my dreams, Oskar, arriving, nor my sire, but I could be mistaken.

I thought these nightmares were over, but apparently not. I had one of those stupid vampire dreams again, but in this dream Elena and Jeremy Gilbert killed me--right in front of my brother Klaus. Granted, I was trying to cut off Jeremy's arm and kill Elena.

Then my ghost came back because a witch lifted a veil and me and some other dead vampires and witches tried to avenge our deaths, but we got sent back to the other side.

What I don't like about these dreams is what an asshole I am. I mean I can be a bit of a douche here, but in these dreams I'm just...mean...violent...crazy and even unhinged.

But I'll never forget the look on Nik's face as he saw my body burn up...

It's also weird to see people I consider my friends straight up kill me.

Alright, at first I thought I drank too much. What the fuck are those things? It's really not my idea of a good time. Are we stuck in B movie hell. I almost expect pandemonium like in those old monster movies, right up until I saw one of those things kill people.

[Elena]
Where are you? You need to stay inside and stay safe.

( OOC: Cut for a picture - to save your flists )

I got called in to talk to the coach last week and he informed me I will not be on the team this year. My injury was too severe in his opinion. He doesn't think with the three days of physical therapy and the three days I exercise on my own that I'll be in tip-top shape. So, I'm off the team for good. I didn't get to argue my case, I don't even get to sit on the bench. According to him, my career in Basketbal is over and the closest I'll ever get to the game again is as a broadcaster.

This fucking sucks.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there and especially to my baby daddy! I know Stefan just adores being called that. We've had an extremely busy day already and we're on our way home to let Natalia nap for a good amount of the afternoon. We went to brunch at Hotel Huntington Beach, which was amazing, then whale watching, and weiner dog races! The last one was totally Stefan's idea, but it was a lot of fun and Natalia loved petting the puppies. Now, it's time to relax from all the sun.

Definite vampire related things in this new dream. And witches apparently. I am looking for some sort of necklace that I lost and my brother needs. I don't really understand what is going on, but apparently we've arrived in this town called Mystic Falls, which I know isn't a good thing. oh and all my other family members were in freaking coffins....Nik totally daggered them all too.

[Filtered to Niklaus]
More dreams. You are apparently toting around the rest of our family in coffins. And you're still a bit of a jerk in this one. Oh, and apparently my our father has something to do with this.

[Filtered to Stefan]
I really could use drinks at Nik's new job tonight after these dreams. Are you fine with that? I was going to call a babysitter for Nat.

Guess who's been promoted to manager?

Mikaelsons + Stefan, Lexi & Elena

Drinks at the club tonight. I'm buying. I shall pout for an eternity if any of you can't make it.

My family wouldn't stop bothering me until I joined this...network. So I suppose I start by introducing myself. Elijah Mikaelson from Huntington Beach. I'm sure there's plenty of familiar faces around her.

I'd forgotten how much of a pain my little brothers can be.

It's so good to have them here, though. Means I have less things to worry about.

For the first time in a long time, I'm happy to be back in California. I've yet to see my parents, but for once I'm not dreading seeing my father. We didn't part on the best of terms when I left, but things are different now. I'm different. I'm looking forward to speaking to him in person after all this time. I hope he'll be proud of the man that I've become and forget who I was before I left. I'd like everyone to forget that.

I'm also looking forward to finally meeting my niece in person. I still can't believe that Rebekah has a baby. I must also see for myself if this Stefan is good enough for her. Niklaus says he is trustworthy, so I trust his judgement, but I'd like to see for myself.

The school year is nearly over. While I will miss my students, it will be nice to have more time to work on our own artwork. Even if I don't end up subbing every day, it does cut into my free time quite a bit.

Of course, I'll still be working the night job, so come on down for a drink if you're so inclined. If you're extra nice to me, I might even hook up you with a free one.

It's been far too long since the whole family was together. Let's plan something soon.

Anyone ever dream that they are something that's not human? Like a mythological creature? I had a really awesome dream and my boyfriend and my brother, Klaus, were involved, but it got really weird when I turned out not to be exactly human.... At least I know I could rock a flapper dress if I wanted to.

[Private to Stefan]
We need to talk about my dream. It was really weird. And Klaus was not....very nice.

I kinda want a dog. What's a great breed to get when you have a growing one-year-old and a small-ish house? I mean, we have a fenced in backyard too.

I have no idea where this is coming from, but I blame all those dog food commercials on TV.

One of my fellow teammates suggested I check out this valarnet blog. I've heard my siblings talk about it a few times as well. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Kol Mikaelson.

Yes, the Kol Mikaelson. The better, more handsome looking brother to Nik, Elijah, Finn and Henrik, favorite brother to Rebekah and Natalia's favorite Uncle.

I was thinking of making tacos for dinner sometime soon. I was also thinking about asking Elena if she wanted to come over and eat them with us, but I wanted to check with you two first. What do you think?

My internship is going really well so far! I'm still learning my way around town, but I am learning SO much at Stark Industries. I still can't believe I'm really here instead of my little town in Texas, but I have to say that I really like California so far.

I'm going camping this weekend, but I'm going to try and do some more exploring soon, so, Valarnet, what are the must see tourist spots around here?

FILTER: GINNY WEASLEY

That camping thing was this weekend, right? Between unpacking and work, I completely forgot to follow up and get all the details from you!

OMFG does anyone know how to calm morning sickness or am I shit out of luck?

Hello people of the internet, my name is Lexi. My bff, Stefan told me I should check this place out because, I think he's tired of me complaining about how bored I am since my boyfriend is away. Of course, if he's also on here, I can just complain to him here too. His ideas always seem to backfire on him. Sorry, Stefan.

So, as I said, my name is Lexi and I'm a princess. Not really, but I play one in Disneyland. Two actually. Depending on the day, I can be found playing either Aurora or Rapunzel.
