My boyfriend is moving in with me. Well, me and Sarah and Kira, but still. I've never lived with someone I was dating before, but I think this is the right move.

The only downside though is that now we have to pack up Josh's place. Does anyone have any extra boxes? After Sarah and I moved into our current apartment, I threw away the bloody boxes, thinking we wouldn't need them.

Note to self: When running out into the woods, always bring a coat. Especially when it's the middle of winter and you're in the mountains.

Something to learn from my dream self. Along with: do not fall for idiots and assholes when they give you no indication of their interest ever. But that's kind of been most of the dreams.

This year sucks, I'm going into hibernation for the next decade or something.

So hey guys.

I'm Hannah's super embarrassing older brother and I told her I was gonna do this so I'm gonna do this and be the obnoxious older brother that it is in my DNA to be.

So I hear she has some guy friends. Jim and Minato? And I just wanted to say HI!

Come say hi back, introduce yourselves, let's be friends.

Also all other people who are friends with Hannah Washington LET'S ALL BE FRIENDS, I want to meet all of you!

So I got some crates of cuban rum for friends and some other people. Ain't got any plans for Halloween except to crack one open and give kids too much candy, while watching bloody horror movies.

Woke up from what I guess is a coma and got home, and there was a car. Not just a car, but my red 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala Sport Coupe - the one I drove in the Underworld, in dreamland. Sexy stuff, right?

Also an ambrosia tree now in the backyard. You know, food of the gods. Absorbs magic, you need to eat some of it to escape the Underworld, etc etc. I cut it down in dreamland but now it's back like that pesky neighbor always bringing by tuna casserole. Maybe I'll actually keep it around this time though - never know when you need a plant that soaks up magic like a sponge.

I guess the point of this is that don't fall into a coma if you can help it. Man, that sucked. At least it happened well before my movie premiere.

So in the dreams, apparently I got a letter from Mike telling me to give him a strip tease and I can already tell this is going to end awful without even having to see what comes next

Well, apparently things are just going to get worse and Mike's still the center of the terribleness that are my dreams. I keep hoping something else is going to happen, but then I'm pretty sure that whatever comes after this is going to be worse given what I know of the.

Okay, that was what? A two day break? One set of dreams ends, another begins. Not in the Underworld yet, but I just stabbed Kronos (hey dad - that'll probably cause issues later) with a crystal mega-weapon that looks like a dick. No, really, it does. The most phallic damn thing I've ever seen.

Anyway, point is - book your calendars for November 11th, because that's when my new flick, Inferno, appears in theaters. If I like you a lot, I'll even get you passes for the red carpet premiere which of course I'll be attending and looking very dapper at.

With a glamour on. Sigh.

I guess my next move is inviting all of my brother and sister's friends to the cabin just to see Mike. I don't really know him, but I"m already tired of dreaming about him. So tired. I mean, everyone came, so I don't know? I'm assuming it was because of Josh and Beth. Who knows?

In non-dream news, I have not missed the homework, but I have missed the field assignments, so I'm not really too upset about being in school again. Plus the number of highlighters and sticky note page markers is helping. I might have spent a little too much time writing out notes carefully last night. I had notes, but they let us record lectures, so I had to fill things in and it's easier to re-write than try to figure out writing notes around the notes you've already written.

The thing about being told to keep a low profile is that it's very difficult to do when your "exile" is in Orange County of all places. Not to mention when the first thing you discover after days of boring solitude where your only company is getting paid to be there is this strange link. I didn't think I was going to look, but I guess I'm bored enough to accept even a very strange method of communication. Boredom does seem to have a habit of inspiring even the most sensible of people into doing things that are probably ill advised. Not that I can claim to be the most sensible considering recent decisions.

My name is Royston. I don't really know what else to put into this introduction. Who even follows my career here? I'm an actor, but that might already be common knowledge. But technically I've been forced into a break. Not one that I'd have chosen. But I suppose that doesn't matter. So what is there to do in the OC when you're ignoring the suggestion to stay indoors in order to keep a low profile that people find interesting?

I think it must be Weird Dream Pet week or something, and I missed the memo. Or maybe the OC is trolling me because when my hellhound passed the security checkpoint of this realm or whatever, he sort of got...downsized.

Behold, the terrifying Cerberus.

How did I end up with so many animals in my house, how. It's bad enough my evil imp henchmen are nothing more than a chipmunk and a bunny in their current form.

This is bullshit.

How do people here know that a dream is an unusual sort of dream as opposed to a normal dream? I had a dream I've had sort of before, but also I don't know.

Unrelated, but I found this and this. I'm pretty amazed by both of these.

Okay. You can do this. It's not a big deal. Um Hi everyone. Sam and Josh said that this place was a good way to meet people around here? Hi. I'm Hannah Washington. I don't know what else to say UM

It seems like people talk about dreams a lot here. Are you all into dream journaling? I've never tried it, but I think the last dream I had was about rocks twice my size becoming sentient and complaining about people stepping on them all the time.

So my parents finally remembered my birthday like, three weeks late and they threw me a big fancy goddamn party this past weekend. And I mean it was a fancy fucking bash. Lobster and champagne and caviar and all that business.

It was mostly their friends, but at least I got to invite my loved ones so happy about that.

Have a picture of me looking fine as fuck. Black on black looks amazing on me, goddamn

So thanks to everyone for making like, the whole week of my birthday super special. I had an awesome time when I really needed an awesome time so -- you guys are great.

I love my weird pseudo-family. ♥

Look at that, you're turning me into a sap. Ugh thanks guys, thanks a lot.

My niece has talked me into taking her to see Finding Dory next weekend. I don't normally do kid's movies, but considering Kira is usually able to talk me into doing just about anything for her, I said yes. I suppose that means I should probably watch Finding Nemo sometime before then. And before anyone says it, I know it came out over ten years ago and most people have seen it by now, but I was 18 when that came out and wasn't exactly into that sort of thing then. I was more into drinking, drugs and debauchery then.

Figures, I have a great weekend, with Josh's birthday party and then I have new dreams and in these dreams Sarah's evil clone injected me with something that knocked me out then kidnapped Kira. Waking up with a hangover from the party and a headache from whatever Rachel knocked me out with was not fun yesterday.

Alright, remind me not to scroll back to more than a few weeks here - you just get lost in a cesspool of who knows what. Only thing I've managed to take from it is that I'm a little concerned my teenage kids are also on this forum and reading about your issues, your dick jokes, and your internet hook-ups.

So what is it, really? What's the percentage? Like 40% dream talk, 40% Plenty of Fish, and 20% Craigslist?

Name's Hades. Was mostly working and making movies in Europe for the past few years, then moved Stateside to direct a gem called Inferno. We're about to go into post-production, so I'll just take two seconds to be useful and say, hey, putting out the call for post-production jobs and internships. Hit me up if you're interested.

By the flaming grace of my employer and his unwanted opinion of how I need 'more friends,' I'm going to make some kind of attempt for an intro post. Prepare to be awed.

Hi. I'm Megara. Meg for short. I'm here to browse through the drama. It goes hand in hand with social media, so make sure to link me to the extra juicy scandals. Points for the infamous baby daddy/mama dramas and vindictive divorces.

Thanks, internet. You're so swell.

Has anyone else spent a billion dollars in their dreams?

That fucked up moment when you realize the monster you were scared of was you the whole fucking time.

TFW your friend asks to be boyfriends...

I said "yes," but the timing was odd. Only in the sense that he and I were in the middle of a video game, and I was partially stunned and I died. However, I couldn't be happier. My boss was starting to hint at us getting together, ever since we attended his dinner party, a few weeks back.

Anyway, I will stop bragging...

Derek...I suppose I should let you in on a secret...that paint/glitter party was kinda my idea. ;)

I bought an Xbox One and several games to play with Danny. Didn't know my life was missing smashing zombies with an arsenal of melee weapons.

Want to play video games, but I can't decide if I want to play more The Evil Within or Assissin's Creed. Decisions. Decisions.

So somehow some fans of my mom found out I went to UCI? And told some people and then -- autographs were wanted?

I haven't even done anything. I mean other than some school plays which isn't really anything.

Anyway this is the great picture that has graced the university paper this week. I look so glam.

Ugh, I hate the cold. I woke up freezing this morning because in my dream I was walking through the snow to get to a gate that would lead to a cable car to get up to the lodge we're staying at. Go figure the gate was busted, so I had to climb over a rock wall to get in. The strangest thing was waking up and finding the note from a guy named Chris on the gate lying on my bed. I think what makes it so strange is that I don't know him here, but in my dreams I consider him a close friend.

I keep hearing my sisters screaming outside my window.

Every time I look out it's just trees and birds and shit, but I swear to god I hear Hannah and Beth screaming for help. Over and over and over.

I facetimed them, they're fine. Healthy and whole and not being tortured.

Whatever's outside my window needs to fuck right off. I haven't heard them in a minute but. Fuck.

Jesus christ on a bike pedaling to mass on a sunday you guys weren't kidding about these fucked up dreams.

A bunch of friends were up at my family's cabin for a party. You know, no parents, lots of booze. And these assholes who were supposed to be our friends played a prank on my little sister.

She ran out into the woods, and our other sister went after her. Fuck it was winter, it was cold.

No one found them.

All because of some fucking prank, my sisters went missing. I was passed out, I couldn't

do anything

fuck

There goes the hope that I would be one of the lucky ones and not have any dreams. Jesus, I wasn't getting much sleep before this, now I'm not going to be getting any.

Went home for the holiday but decided that I wanted to spend the New Year's festivities here in Cali.

I ate so much...I think I need to start hitting the gym a bit more for the next month or so. What do you guys think?

Can't say no to mom's cooking...

Speaking of festivities, anyone know of any good parties that I can 'crash'? Maybe find someone to kiss at midnight

I think I have gotten over my 'seclusion' phase and I'm ready to have a few drinks, and get lost in the crowd of a dance floor.

If anyone wants to join me, I'll be heading here: [insert name of gay club, along with address]

Man I'm so bummed that October is over? I still want to do spooky shit and leave my Halloween decorations up, but I feel like it's practically illegal this late in November.

So not ready for it to be Christmas yet, though. If I get a tree it won't be until the week before or something.

I'm over Grindr. When did we get so lazy that we can't go out to a bar to find someone to hook up with?

Who's excited for Halloween, bitches? That would be me.

Like, shove an entire pumpkin up my ass excited.

Not sure what I'm doing yet, other than having a killer party, but I've got a couple weeks to plan and get things together.

I'm not big into social media, though I'm thinking of starting a vlog or something, but my buddy Sam is on here so what the hell, right?

I'm Josh Washington. Yep, that one. Pretty sure my mom's doing a junket for her new movie or something right now, since my google hits and local recognition have jumped up ever so slightly.

Nice to meet you all. Come say hi! Sign the guest book, what have you.

I've been listening to a lot of Be.Busta and Lazy Masquerade on YouTube the last week. I think I might have a problem, or you know, I need to save some of these to watch closer to the end of the month.

Please explain to me why everything is pumpkin and why Americans enjoy this so much.

So, I'm looking for a job and I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone was hiring before I started pounding the pavement. I'd prefer something that was part-time, weekends only, any shift since I do attend college full time during the week and my weeknights are devoted to studying/course work. I have the most experience in retail, but I'm willing to learn!
