While I will never not hate that woman in my dreams I do have to say she has pretty good taste in gifts. Even if they are meant to just get rid of me so she can get her claws in my date - Justine. She gave me a condo in Hawaii and a plane ticket though. I do wonder though since I woke up to find the deed to the condo on the bed beside me, is it mine here?

Back to business. The Vegas launch is coming. Hitting the final push is making me crazy.

I need a drink. Who else needs one?

This is a bad time to own a bar called Purgatory.

Between this weekend, the fucked up dream I had last night, and all these fucking crazies on the street, I'm pretty sure the universe is telling me I need a damn vacation.

I got some holiday time coming up next month, and dammit, Chris and I are taking an extended vacation to Fiji.

It'd be really nice to go to the mall without people proclaiming the world was going to end... but then that's just another day in Orange County I guess. And I still got some new dresses!

You know what is really strange? I was in my club, and this woman comes up to me and starts talking about school and how she was one of my students at one time. It's been awhile, but at one time I taught high school history. Damn, those kids are 21 now. She said they were still talking about me. It was a good job, but not particularly suitable anymore. She was questioning me about why I left, and I'm wondering who the fuck she was talking about for a minute. That's when you know how much your life has changed.

I'll be taking a trip to New York soon. I haven't been in quite some time. What should I do and see while I'm there Orange County?

( I'm just about to stick this back in my truck )

It's Spring Break, sort of. Mostly it's my attending taking holiday before my break so I have the next couple of weeks for just classes so I'm doing some side jobs to get a little more money in the bank. If anyone needs any work done on their car and want a little bit cheaper price than their regular mechanic, let me know.

Next time someone dies in my dreams I'd prefer not to wake up to a painting of them.

Since I couldn't have an over the top party on my actual birthday last month due to unexpected company over that week - I'm going to have a late party for it this weekend at my house. Show up any time starting after 5 pm Friday and stay for as long as you want. Or until I have to throw everyone out Monday to get ready for a meeting with a director at my house. They better be offering me the part or I will end up in trouble that I'm fairly certain an entire law firm and Amycus couldn't get me out of and cover up

I know this isn't Craigslist, but I think I can trust at least half of you not to scam me or shoot me in the face. I'm looking for a vehicle, preferable an older one I can get for under five grand. A truck would be nice, but I'll take a car. If it needs a few things fixed, that's okay, but I'd rather not have to buy and install a new engine. I could also use a sofa and a bed. Prices there are negotiable.

For those of you that share dreams with people here. Have you ever had a dream that made you want to reach out to someone? Even if you currently aren't on speaking terms with them?

This is your public service announcement that Purgatory and The Seventh Level will be closed for business on February 29th, 30th, and 31st.

So last minute I know but I don't really have a choice this time. Anyone want to go as my date to the Oscars tonight? Mine had to cancel and I hate going to these things alone.

OOC: pretend this got posted this morning please

I'm really bored, and that isn't good.

Who isn't all tied up and wants to entertain me?

Hello home sweet home, I'm back!


I refuse to stay in on a Saturday night, what's the hottest place in town now and who wants to ride with me?

The kittens won’t let Hades and I sleep. We are constant obstacle courses. But they are cute, I suppose. Damon they want your varvatos shirts.

Apparently Eliot and I are the worst when it comes to relationships because neither of us can think of anything to do for Valentine's Day. We've been talking about going somewhere, but can't decide on a place at such short notice. Any suggestions would be really bloody helpful. One thing we don't want is snow. That's the one thing we can agree on.

If you ever want to witness stupid, watch Californians trying to drive in the rain. You'd think the apocalypse is coming.

It's taken me some time.

But I think I've finally accepted what happened to me in my dreams.

But I don't think I could have moved on without my friends.

Happy New Year!

Finally, after a long back and forth of business negotiations - without cheating the system - I'm happy to announce that our bid for a bit of Vegas has been expected, and should be open by spring break. Now the real work begins.

Who is down to celebrate?

This family vacation with my daughter and my siblings has been exactly what I needed. I'll be sad too be heading back to the OC in a few days.

What's everyone's New Year resolution? Don't forget to party at Purgatory tomorrow!

I nearly forgot how much I really fucking hate Christmas. Between the snow, the lines, the traffic, and Alex leav everything else, it really is the worst goddamn time of the year.

Now, I may be in the minority here, but I need Thanksgiving to pass before we start Christmas music and bell ringing, and holly jolly days. I'm not holly or jolly, but stop, alright. Pretty soon it's going to start in July and I am going to tear something apart - possibly something in a red suit passing out my bag of coal.

I'm Scrooging it up over here. I know.

The last few weeks have certainly been interesting, to say the least. Since it's not a secret, in my dreams, I don't see why it needs to be a secret to anyone here. Especially considering the number of vampires on this community. As of Halloween, I too have become a vampire. Not to worry, I've had help from someone else in this community and I have no need to snack on any locals or customers.

Just when I think my Dream world decisions can’t get any more questionable they make my Dreamself a teacher at Hogwarts. Teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, which makes sense because that was one of the subjects I excelled at before I started making all of the wrong decisions with my life there. Of course I can’t just teach that class - I have to change it and teach the kids the Dark Arts. I hate my Dreamself more and more with every Dream I have and just want them over and done with.

Getting ready for Halloween a day early and making sure my costume still fits from last year. Happy Hallowen!

( Boo )

Well, thanks to Caroline, I have a really good Halloween costume and a huge amount of candy for trick-or-treaters. Since I’m fully in the holiday spirit, does anyone know of any Halloween special events? Halloween movies playing in theaters or pumpkins patches?

The lights have been flickering all night at Fangtasia and when I attempt to call an electrician to come look at it, I get different numbers. The sound system also occasionally switches songs mid way through. If this keeps up, I'll have to close early and that's the last thing I want to do.

Well I'm never eating skittles again. The new commercial is just too disturbing. Who wants candies that are coming out of a giraffe when you're milking it?

Omg! This is great! If any of you other vampires are the last one, I'm sorry.

( Which Vampire Are You? )

I really need some work to distract me. The downside of being muscle for hire. None of you happen to need someone punched or shaken down, do you?

Fuck Boko Haram

Just when I start getting a handle on the only powers I think I have, other powers start to happen.

Kinda wondering how many I have...

New dreams come with new revelations. Of all the times my family has betrayed me over the centuries this was the worst of all.

I need a drink. If anyone cares to join me I'll be at [Name of bar]

I was not made for the warm weather.

Not even October (yet) and I already miss seasons.

I'll be checking out Knotts Scary Farm tonight. Normally, I only do Halloween Horror Nights as universal. So I think a comparison is finally in order to see how they stack up against each other.

Sometimes I just don't understand my brother in my dreams.

There's all this stuff in this big house, and it has my name on it. Why? It's weird. I got a lot of mail and stuff like bills. I don't have no money or anything. I haven't seen my mom and dad is probably just drunk somewhere. Hope he doesn't know I'm here. Stefan, where are you?

I got a pool. I always wanted one. Anyone want to go swimming?

Has anyone seen my mom and daddy? ...and Jeremy, I guess.

OH MY GOD.

MY OLD PARTNER IS IN MY DREAM AND HE'S SUCH A CON ARTIST! LITERALLY!

( A fox, a pretend elephant, and a bunny walk into an ice cream shoppe... )

WHERE ARE MY DREAMS TAKING ME?

I want to do something fun for labor day. Nik, Elijah, Finn, Freya, are you in? Maybe a BBQ and swimming? Damon, you in?

I’m actually not sure whether to be amused or pissed off. I got a cease and desist letter from my father’s attorney today. Apparently my career and lifestyle choices are “damaging his family name and livelihood”.

According to my attorney what the old bastard wants is for me to either change my name professionally - which is not happening and he can go fuck himself - or quit being so open about my sex life. Which if any of you were worried I can assure you isn’t happening either. And in the interest of putting everyone’s minds at ease on that front - I’m throwing a pool party at my house. Everyone is more than welcome to come, however you want to take that, to help me break in the new pool house that was designed by the extremely talented and lovely Elsa.

[Sigrun]
If he was going to be a dick over the name he should have said something when I first started out. Not that I would have changed my mind about using his name I’m giving you the night off. Come and have fun but no bodyguard business. Or cockblocking.

[Elsa]
You couldn’t be convinced to take on another job for me could you? Now that the pool house is done, I’m thinking an actual guest house could be nice and I have the acreage for it after all.

Alright, it's getting to be that time of year, believe it or not, Halloween is coming up and coming up fast. But this year, we are turning to you, the patrons and asking: what would you like to see in our nightclub for Halloween this year besides themed drinks?

I've enrolled Mare in Pre-School and she starts on Monday. I'm definitely not okay.

I know these things, they're worse than orcs, they're the reason the orcs went all rampagy. They're called the Burning Legion and their goal is nothing less than the annihilation of all life in the universe.

They can be beat individually and as a group, but god help us if Kil'jaeden or another general arrives. I just... I just dreamed that a few days ago. It took three entire armies holding back the onslaught of demons and risen dead and an entire species giving up their immortality to stop him.

Be careful.

Is there some law here that says that all club owners have to be incredibly hot that no one told me about? Because if there is - I need to find and personally thank this lawmaker.

I may, or may not have gone to San Diego Comic Con this weekend and dressed up like Ironman to pass out flyers to promote our club. And by may or may not have, I mean, I absolutely did.

It is down to either The Venitian, The Bellagio, or Ceasars Palace for our third club expansion. All three are in prime locations, and now Damon, Enzo and I just need to make the final decision.
