I was in the store today and they have Easter stuff out already.

What's everyone's opinion on Peeps? Yay or nay?

I'm not really into it. I think it's Easter's version of candy corn.

So. Aliens. I mean I'm not surprised that aliens happened in my dreams considering I'd dreamed about their arrival before but they kidnapped someone very important to me so I had to go rescue him with a bunch of other teenage heroes, including one who looked an awful lot like me, just blond.

I have a dream twin. Which kind of makes sense? I have a twin here too, I've just never met him.

TFW you wake up from the weirdest dream to find random talismans stuck to the walls of your room o_O

Not sure what it says about my dream self’s fashion choices that I’ve had a second costume come though... Which is definitely modelled more after, uh, the Norse God of Thunder.

I need to change my code name, too. In the dreams. Asgardian is asking for trouble...

I think I had one of those dreams everyone keeps talking about. Apparently I'm a CLONE of someone called Superman. I was broken out of the place I was created by some group and then I went to a city called Metropolis where I encountered three other people who claimed to be Superman or something. A lot went on after that and I insisted on being called Superman too. I started getting all this attention from the news and stuff after that and started to get pretty cocky until I accidently got someone killed.

I don't really know what to think about the dreams so far. I mean, I appear to be a superhero, which is pretty cool, but I just don't know. It's kind of weird that I'm a clone, but I'm still a teenager. It's like I didn't fully finish cooking or something since, from what I can tell, Superman is or was an adult.

Dreaming is currently somewhat bittersweet.

On the one hand, I see my brother. On the other, I am reminded that he is not here with me.

I'm still not sure I'm not one of the 'bad guys', although morally standing we're not okay with the world being obliterated and are taking a stand with former enemies against that.

Apparently, I still have no fear of the Hulk and readily anger him while his hands are around me.

I saw these and thought of you, so I grabbed them. Do you want to come pick them up or meet for waffles?

Dreamed about having dinner with my heroic idols, I think some part of me died and went to heaven. They also threatened to tell my parents that I was moonlighting as a hero and effectively grounded our team to tell us that we're not allowed to do hero things anymore, but still.

First snow, now fog? What is going on with the weather right now?

[Wanda & Kara]
I know this is another one of those weird OC things, are you guys okay? This fog is making my... uh something sense all tingly and it's unpleasant.

With the weather being as nice as it is, I've never been so relieved that I don't have hayfever. I just face-timed my mom and my brother was in the background sneezing and sounding like he's got the flu.

[Wanda]
Are we still on for today?

I can't wait for college to end for this semester. I was so bored in my last class that I began wishing I was anywhere else but there and ended up in a park. Not completely sure how.

In my dreams, there's a place called Ahtohallan. It's a river of memories, but frozen. A glacier. It's where the voice that is calling to me is.

In order to get there I had to cross a storm swept sea, which meant fighting the spirit of water. A water horse that nearly drowned me. But I tamed it, and arrived in Ahtohallan and then something inside me shifted. Changed.

Inside the glacier were memories. Mine. My sister's. My family's. Somewhere in these memories is the answer to what happened to my kingdom and the forest and why the spirits are angry.

But that voice? Was my mother telling me the person I was looking for all along was me.

I'm going to build a lightsaber.

I'm not even going to lie, today has been so much fun! I know not everyone feels the same way, but getting to use my powers as much as I did today and helping as many people as I did is just exhilarating. Those Stormtroopers didn't know what to make of the fact that their blasters had no affect on me and I was able to pull the legs off those Walkers with my bare hands.

Anyone else have a good time today?

Super disappointed to find out that yesterday wasn't just a one-day hallucination. o_o

How long do these things usually last for here?

I guess I started the dream parade that seems to be on the net work. I've...it wasn't strange, like how a lot of others dreams people seem to post about.

It was kind of the same, as my life. I...I was still a wild child, my mom and dad, not really caring what I did as long as I stayed out of their way. I wondered if it was just a lucid fever dream, but the joys of living with a doctor. I'm quite healthy, he informed me.


Has that happen to other people here? Dreams kinda mimicking your life?

Working on things from home is rather refreshing. I definitely like not having to get dressed every morning for class.

On the flip side, I get distracted so often it's harder to focus on the work. I think I've reorganised my room for better learning three times.

{Marvel Friends (616 and MCU)}
Pietro has decided to leave. To travel. I'm happy for him, I am. At least this time we can stay in touch, and I know he's okay.

I am still sad that we couldn't properly rebuild our relationship, but we have time. I just hope he's staying safe somewhere.

With everything that's happening and Grizz leaving I'm looking for things to fill my time and generally do stuff that's good.

If anyone needs food delivering because you've had to isolate or - if you're like, working in a hospital and don't have time to do grocery shopping between long shifts and getting sleep - do you wanna drop me a message? I'm happy to try and help as much as I can.

[Filtered away from Mabel, Wendy & Uncle Ford]

That moment when the girl you had THE biggest crush on when you were in college together turns up in the OC still looking as amazing as ever and you're suddenly reduced to a total idiot who apparently can't form words.

Christ, I can't even- So embarrassing.

Kill me please.

So this is Orange County, huh? Tell me what's good. The crazier the better. I'm not even joking, I want to know all the weird random shit that they don't tell you in the tourism guides.

I have a real short attention span so bear that in mind.

Oh my God! I literally got offered a part in a hair commercial out of the blue!

I honestly thought that strange people approaching you in the mall was so very 90's but apparently some people still do it?!?

Anyway, if this business card and company check out I might be the token redhead in a hair commercial. I dunno if it's shampoo or hair dye but OH WELL! That's if my dad doesn't freak out when I tell him

My dreams last night was like binge watching three episodes of a show. So much happened so I’m gonna try go keep this brief; James hired Mon-El for an internship at CatCo, which didn’t go so well. Cadmus was selling alien weapons to criminals and we ended up stopping a group of them in the end. I had some of my powers sapped by a crazy scientist; J’onn too and he wasn’t as lucky as I me. I could use light therapy to get mine back, but he needed a blood transfusion from another Martian. Ended up fighting the man who J’onn took his appearance from and ended up getting captured. Found out Mon-El had gotten captured too. Also found out that mine and Alex’s father was actually still alive and he helped us escape. I don’t know what happened to him after that though, but hopefully he’s alright. In the end, we all had pizza at my place and celebrated the fact that none of us died.

I'll be honest, I'm glad that I mostly use my powers here to stop regular criminals or robberies and not rogue aliens or people who have grudges against my cousin.

Valentine's day really does bring out the best and worst in people. Like crazy behaviour for sure.

I didn't do a whole lot save for eat waaaaaay too many of Mabel's specially made cookies to celebrate the day. I think I'm dying of red icing sugar overload.

Either that or I'm sick.

I'm going to crawl back into bed now.

Waking up to the intense pain from an electrical disruption to the brain from a dream is not ideal. Movement makes me feel sick, my ears keep ringing and my vision keeps doubling.

I am most definitely staying in my damn bed today. Not even I want to deal with school feeling like this. >.<

Are there any low impact background entertainment recommendations? Nothing too noisy or requiring too much concentration.

So today I did the most cliche superhero thing there is. I saved a cat from a tree. I always thought that was like something made up for comic books and things and that cats could get out of trees on their own, but apparently that's not always the case. I was out and heard a kid crying cause the cat wouldn't come down so obviously it was Supergirl to the rescue!

Who else has picked up talents their dreamselves have? Dream!Felix is an artist, but I've barely been able to draw stick figures until I started dreaming. I don't paint as much as I do in the dreams, but I've actually done a few of the paintings that I did do in the dreams, here. Considering I've never been very good, I have to say, these are pretty good. They're of Sarah, Cosima and Alison.

( Paintings - Cut for Size )

Not really sure what I'm going to do with them. Maybe I'll send Sarah and Cosima's to them.

So it finally happened, I got my podcast approved and it'll be airing on Spotify every Friday at 8pm and fingers crossed if I get enough listeners, reviews and well, subscriptions then maybe just maybe I can actually make money out of this.

Only time will tell, I guess.

Can't say I didn't try.

Well that was incredibly weird. I just woke up from the strangest nap I've ever had. It wasn't the nap itself that was strange, but the dreams I had while I was sleeping. Now I've had weird dreams before, but these felt different. I was a kid and I think I lived on another planet. I mean, Yavin 4; that's not a real place. Where did my mind even get that? What's even stranger is that then I learned to fly a spaceship! A freakin' spaceship! Well, I never actually flew it; my mother did and she taught me.

And now what's even stranger than all of that was the weird urge I had to have to come here and talk about it. What is going on?

I had completely forgot how draining it was to be with my uncle's family at Thanksgiving. It's not even like they're that big, it's just so many people.

I have a year to remember to make plans of my own. I think by then I might have a legit army of cats though, that can surely be an excuse, right?

So, for the record, cliff jumping without a parachute and using powers alone? Awesome.

Literally best thing ever.

So my dreams just gifted me with camping gear so I'm thinking this has definitely got to happen.

Anybody else a fan of camping who might want to come along?

Who would have thought gnomes would be so aggressive?

Also, I woke up this morning with a pain in my forehead, and when I peeled my hair back there was a birthmark. Not just any birthmark. Nooo. One in the shape of the... wait for it, the Big Dipper. Thank God I have enough hair to hide it or you know I could just wear the hat that also turned up.

Now Mabel calling me Dipper all makes sense.

I never really consider myself a physical person, like, ever. I mean I hated sports when I was younger, hard to play anything with the coke goggles I used to have to wear (thank fuck for contact lenses) but ever since moving out here I've found that running first thing in the morning actually helps to clear my head.

That and yoga.

It helps that the instructor's nice.

Woke up with a stack of vintage comic books on the floor beside my bed. All issues I don't have. I know how I'm spending my day.

( Cut for length; cut is not IC )

TL;DR dreams are interesting, I think I might be a superhero and probably need a new shrink.

So if I'm understanding the network correctly people with powers are now powerless and those without powers are powered?

Is this a normal run of the mill occasion in the OC?

It's fascinating and I'd really love to talk to some of the people affected for my blog and podcast.

Disturbing fact.

The squirrel in the tree outside of my room is no longer a squirrel, it's a full blown person. And it's talking, to me. That's not even the weirdest part, nope, not at all. It's the fact that I can understand it.

Also? I literally never crave sweets and yet here I am craving them like I might die if I don't stuff my face full of them.

I need recommendations for vets.

Specifically ones who are good with multiple animals at once, since three of my cats have anxiety issues relating to vet visits. The one I'm with just now just left a horrible taste in my mouth and I have a 8 month old to comfort through the experience now. I can't figure out why someone would go into the profession if they don't have the patience for skittish animals she was neglected for crying out loud.

So, animal owners, please, tell me about your vets.

Uh oh, someone call for help!

I woke up from a dream where an evil baddie turned all our friends against my sisters and me, and we had to beat them up, and I blasted a hole in my wall!!! :O

Thankfully I don't think it's a supporting wall, but I don't know that I want a Hobbit door to my bedroom!

So I've gathered that a reliving a slightly alternative high school experience in dreams is relatively commonplace here but can someone tell me how common it is to wake up dreaming about almost electrocuting someone (by accident!) and then somehow short-circuiting the toaster and flipping the breaker because they're shooting lightning out of their hands?

Asking for a friend.

Just when I thought things couldn't get weirder I woke up to find this thing just cozied up on my couch.

Also, it has a name, Doris apparently.

So, I decided to download this new mobile game because I wanted something mindless to play with and turns out I'm completely addicted.

It's called MyMuseum and you're basically an paleontologist that is filling up this little museum with dinosaur skeletons. You don't have to pay any money - you can get little bonuses from just watching ads. But it's so addicting! I get so frustrated when I go to dig up fossils and don't find any. It's so much fun though!!

I hope this sparks interest in a few of you and you give it a try :3

So... I've been here since September last year, attending Chapman University, but apparently I had no idea that there was a network for everybody to chat and interact on. Apparently I should have done more research past the point of what courses I was going to do when I finally hit college.

Go figure, right?

Anyways I'm Grizz and still getting used to this whole thing as you can tell.

I just saw a suggestion on facebook to add your own hair to your potted plants as free plant food. And you know, even if I've probably accidently killed every plant I've ever touched, I'm good. If it comes down to it, I'll just get a fabric tree or something, because I've seen this movie. Today you feed your plant hair, next week you've got a venus flytrap yelling "feed me Seymore". And I just don't need to deal with that.

My latest rescue cat appears to finally have settled into the studio, judging from finding her atop my fabric supplies. I know that it's one of the few places to get some peace, but I could've done without having to fish her down. Especially when the others then think it's a game.

Pro tip to cut down on gym memberships, bulk buy cat supplies and heft them from the car to your apartment. It cuts out premiums on gym memberships and no one ever asks 'do you even lift?'

So, I know some people don't have summer classes but I do and my first one's at 9am but I've had no sleep because the person living next to me held something like a drum and bass concert last night and it didn't finish until about an hour ago and now I'm not even sure a dozen coffees is enough.

I wish I could just magic myself awake. That'd be awesome.

I do not think my choice of "career" was the best one I could have made given my lack of patience for pretty much everyone and everything.

Taxi drivers do not get tips if they speak their mind.

And no tips means no extra side orders with my takeout and that always leaves me feeling hungry.

Nobody likes me when I am hungry.
