Network

This month has felt kind of boring to me lately, haha. Not completely sure why, but alas.

But I did just realize that April is coming very soon and that means the Newport Beach Film Festival. I had a great time last year showing one of my films, so I'm excited to go back and enjoy it as a observer.

So, I got a necklace from my Dreams the other day and I've kind of just been trying to figure out what to do with it. I'm going to keep it because it's lovely and my mother gave it to me before she died in the Dreams, but I'm not sure if it works here or not.

Essentially the stone on the necklace is supposed to dampen my necromancer glow and make me less appealing to ghosts, which is great - in theory.

The downside is I'm not sure how to go about testing this without running the risk of summoning a ton of ghosts or zombies....again....

I wish I understood the essence of Dreaming. Like why do I suddenly get so much at one time and then I could go weeks without Dreaming anything. Nothing makes sense and I'm really not thrilled by that.

I finally picked up where I left off with trying to find Simon and Derek where my Aunt may be dead, but at least Tori and I got the hell out of the grasp of the Edison group. Apparently my ability to raise the dead also extends to animals. Dead bats are incredibly creepy.

Thankfully after that I finally ran into Derek and now we're all one big happy runaway family. Unfortunately I am also now in the missing person's list and have to stay hidden. The boys found a place to hide and we barely got to stay there before I discover that there's a dead body there and I discover a whole new part of my powers. I could really write a novel with all the things I have no idea come along with my powers. It's frustrating as hell.

I'm also not meant to be on the street because Tori and I managed to get in a fight with some other homeless girls and it didn't go so well (I'm blaming mostly Tori for this one). Derek swooped in to save the day and that lead to a giant fight that even made it into the newspaper, which is now reporting that I was kidnapped. So it was decided that I need to dye my hair black (which makes me look like a stereotypical Goth Girl) and we all boarded a bus to get the hell out of dodge. Derek is changing and I'm nervous about how far he's going to go this time.

So, thankfully I haven't really come across any dead bodies out in the open lately, but I did learn that my powers are only strengthening. I had a dead robin following me around for about ten minutes before I realized what happened. I'm still shuddering at the thought of it. Can I trade this power in yet?

Finally had some new dreams. Still trapped in a lab and told that Simon has diabetes so it's cruical that I help the jerks find him and Derek. Yeah....not gonna happen. Oh and I tried to summon my dead friend and ended up getting another kid from the creepy group home that was murdered.

But of course nothing is just fine in my life. This ghost ended up being posessed by some sort of demon that wanted me to bring her back into the world. What the hell is going on. At least that was followed up by an explanation that we're all part of an experiment for the Edison Group. And this creepy "demi-demon" is giving me a lot of information that I'm probably not supposed to know.

This Doctor really wants to make it up to me and even gave me a large book about the early history of the necromancer race - is it pathetic that I really want it to show up here? At least it would help out with the knoweldge that the experiement was done in order to reduce the side effects of our supernatural powers - I'm basically supercharged.

Joy. Dreams ended when I finally got Dr Davidoff to agree to let me come along to find Simon and Derek. God I really hope that my dream!self is smart enough to escape while out there.

Derek
Did you know you had a pack in this place? There used to be 4 pups living in this place...the others were killed and you were the only one left

I found this at the store the other day:

( Cut for Picture; Viewable by all )

Is it egotistical that I bought it just because of the name?

It hasn't lasted long. After dreaming that my neighbor was electrocuted I went through the entire six pack. The other deaths were bad, but this one...this one was the worst by far.

Somehow I got dragged into an animal shelter yesterday and ended up with a dog.

( Meet Techno )

Now the question is, what do I do with him?

It's bullshit that just because you find a girl and a guy together in a basement, covered in dirt, that you automatically assume they've been fooling around. It's even more bullshit when your Aunt, who practically raised you, also goes along with that assumption. The only tiny good thing about this is that it allows you to cover up for what you were actually doing - no one would believe you're reburying corpses.

Also, love how ghosts want to be cryptic with information. Apparently my powers are too strong for my age. Ya think? And sassy ghosts - ugh. But at least we found out information that the guy our group home is named for is insane and did experiments on the supernatural.

At least we're all getting the hell out of there, even if it was moved up quite a bit. And Derek changing....I hope he doesn't have to go through that here. Oh please let him just be normal here.

I wish I had a summer vacation from these dreams.

So - finals are done, rooms...mostly packed up for the summer, housing's already worked out for next year. Who wants to come hang out and help me, and I guess Sans, procrastinate for a few hours?

Hey it's Nico. I was just wondering if you remembered seeing a knight mixed in with my other figures when you helped me move. I know it's probably a long shot but never hurts to ask.

I guess this is the place to talk about strange dreams. Does anyone else dream about a twisted version of their childhood? Because I'm pretty sure I grew up in a lab where they experimented on me and other werewolves until my adoptive father took me home.

I'm really glad I'm not in college anymore, but I have to admit I got a little weepy last week when I watched my friends graduate. It was a little strange to go back to campus as an alumnae, but I can happily say that I'm excited to not deal with finals or anything like that. So, good luck to all of you that are still going through that in the next few weeks.

Also, dreams suck. I'm so over them right now.

Summoned my first ghost. At my boyfriend's apartment. It was not cool.

I also had zombies crawl up my leg in my dreams.

I've done a lot of and been a part of a lot of weird stuff since signing on to this network. I mean a lot of weird stuff. I was a photographer for a wedding that literally took place in space I've had monsters, ghosts and people stick their hands in my chest on several occasions (I do not understand this obsession). My apartment is officially haunted and I've been turned into a demon horse.

Still, the weirdest thing that I have witnessed by far is my mentor and captain literally rising from the dead.

That's it. I'm done. I have officially seen it all.


Welcome back, Captain.

So the foster home for crazy kids could be a lot worse. There's 7 of us in total although one boy is getting out soon. We all have our weird diagnosis labels and apparently mine is schizophrenia. I mean, makes sense since I claim to hear voices and see people, but seriously - you can't fix this with a handy dandy medical label band-aid.

We take care of the places, go to classes, get a little time out side, there's locks everywhere - it's a lot of fun. Except for the rude girl that told everyone I see ghosts, thanks. But this place is haunted too because I'm hearing voices in the basement laundry room and my roommate claims she has a poltergeist following her and eventually goes a bit crazy and gets taken out of the house by paramedics.

I woke up after taking a sleeping pill after the incident and saw her sitting back on her bed. Fine and dandy until I move my hand it passes through her. Are they killing us now if we toe out of line?!

I also decided it would be a good idea to search for the custodian that creeped me out - check, he's dead - and then Derek (one of the guys there) told me to look up necromancer. Just what my teenager self needed to do. I guess I can't keep sticking my head in the sand on this one.

Has anyone else seen something so bad in their dreams that even when you woke up, you couldn't get that horrible image out of your mind?

Ok. If someone wants to turn off this horror movie ride that would be great. Had a lovely dream about a fifteen year old version of myself seeing a boy who wasn't there, hearing creepy noises in the high school auditorium, deciding to dye my hair in the school bathroom (seriously, kid?), and finally being confronted by yet another freaky burn victim who chased me through the school.

And apparently when you claim you're seeing people that don't exist people tend to side eye you. So, no one should be surprised that after a brief stint in the hospital I've been shipped off to a group home for "disturbed teens".

And top to it all off I heard whispers earlier. Great.

I must have been reading too many horror movie scripts lately because I had an awful nightmare last night. I woke up mid-scream and scared the bejesus out of my poor roommate.

It was totally perfect horror movie scenario. Tiny child version of myself growing up and being told not to go in the basement. Pathetic babysitter manages to cajole baby me into going going downstairs, which shouldn't happen because apparently baby me sees ghosts of some sort. There's a couple okay ghosts, but there's also a dead man whose ghost is hidden still hanging from his noose. Unfortunately the big bad ghost that I didn't want to see did decide to show up. And she is the creepiest thing on the face of this planet. Blackened skin that is still sizzling from the fire she must have died in. Her skull is intact, but the skin that's supposed to be her face is barely there and then she went for me.

Which is when I woke up. I'm totally chalking this up to my crazy imagination and some bad thai food.

I don't care if it is only a few more weeks until the end of the semester - I can't live with my roommate anymore. Today was the last straw. How is it my fault that his girlfriend doesn't understand what the words "I'm gay" mean? We almost came to blows I don't care if it means moving back to my parents house.

I have to say that I'm becoming quite skilled at juggling about ten coffees every single morning. I'm not going to complain though because people would kill for my internship and I'm very lucky, but my dry cleaning bill is insane this month. If I spill coffee on one more shirt of mine I may just scream wherever I may be at the moment, which will make me look like a crazy person.

Anyway, hi, I'm Chloe and I was told about this network at the coffee shop (Surprise surprise), so I'm curious to see what I can use it for. I'm currently interning at Warner Brothers studios, so if you like movies then I am your girl.
