I don't think Nessie liked seeing Santa all that much. The poor little thing started crying her little eyes out when we took her for her portrait.

Practicing medicine as I have done all of these years is always illuminating. Especially in Orange County. The series of events that happens here is always unique, but despite that, it reminds me of previous years, and previous events. War, and sickness, and strange happenings come and go through the world, and never stop coming and going. But so too does Peace, and health, and good days.

We must hold to the latter and use their memories to move through the former. And learn, always learn. For while we live, there will always be something to learn.

This place never ceases to confuse me. No voice? No sounds at all? I mean, I rarely talk half the time as it stands, but how am I supposed to call into work and tell them, suddenly I can't speak at all, guess I can't go to Kabul this weekend? Damn it.

Sometimes this place sucks.

Friends {if you've talked to her more than once it counts}


This is awkward. Roll call - who's got a voice and who doesn't?

How utterly fascinating. And here I thought me and my military self was safe from such Dreams.

Does anyone else love this outfit as much as I do? I can smell a(nother) Disneyland trip coming on.

Also, Baseball. Who knew it was the sport of Vampires?

THERE'S A SPAM MUSEUM

OH MY GOSH

WHO WANTS TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP TO MINNESOTA

Being blown up sucks, an' I gotta say, I don't recommend it for no one.

Alright Cullens, I've purchased tickets for ALL of us to go to the Disneyland Halloween party this Saturday. Nessie will be wearing Sleeping Beauty. Costumes are allowed in the park, so dress up as something fun. I want to make Nessie's first Halloween special.

For those of you who have gone before--how crowded does it get? Being Disney I'm assuming it's not scary, right? I don't want to traumatize my daughter.

So. My dreams are worse than I knew. Woke up crying this morning. Does that even happen? I didn't know it was possible.

I used to always have plans for my birthday.

So nice to have a change of scenery. Finally have all my things moved into my shiny new office at UCLA, and, I have to admit, I'm really rather excited. Fresh faces, new colleagues, I think it should be a wonderful good time.

Well. As wonderful as lecturing a room of idiots morons twenty-somethings who hardly pay attention can be.

Nessie tried solid foods for the first time today. I don't think she liked them. Then again, who WOULD like something as disgusting as mashed carrots?

I'm taking you out for a nice dinner tonight, love. You deserve it.

[Alice]

Be here at five for babysitting duties.

No offense, Atton, because it was fun to play a boy for a while, but I'm certainly glad to be back in my own body. Feels like home.

Though, the Dreams started up again. I really should ask Bella and Edward if they

At least I was still able to work while Mr. Rand. I got so much done when I didn't want to leave the house!

Anyone awake, right now?

I can't really sleep and it'd be nice to just chat with someone. Fucking ptsd

Ironically, in my dreams my brother and Elena write in journals. I don't bother. Funny that I am talking about them on the net.

So, I am the bad guy, at least so far. I do have all the best dream lines, and a thing for Varvatos. Basically, I'm a smooth, stylish dick. Is anyone that surprised? Life is supposed to fucking imitate art, not dreams. I still don't have any dream gifts though. My body feels the same.

My dreams focus on history. I haven't seen some of the same people that others in the dream claim to see. Is that normal? These things make me feel like I've slept for days, not just a few hours.

[Stefan]
Have you had any dreams yet? You and Elena are together. I don't th - I haven't seen any of your fiance's family yet. I was too busy draining Caroline dry.

[Caroline]
Have you had any dreams about us?

Oh, man, working on this website has been such a thrill! Even if I'm up at insanely odd hours. Have to get as much time in on it as I can while the inspiration sticks. <3 Loving my job, though!

Another late night with Nessie, so I watched the last two Harry Potter movies--and after all that, she STILL wasn't asleep. It's going to be a long night. Poor little thing, Bella and I are going to have to take her to the doctors tomorrow.

Nessie is going through a phase of sleep regression. She was sleeping a full 6-7 hours before, but for the last few nights she's been sleeping two or three before waking up crying.

( ooc: language, racism )

And apparently we're not like breakfast today.

It wouldn't be that bad if half of what I tried to give her didn't end up on my shirt. Now to my list of chores today I can add doing laundry and mopping in the kitchen. As well as an early bath for yours truly. If only she could have told me before I made it for her.

All this before I had my coffee.
