Dear Chevy,

That was fucked up. You don't mess with the Super Bowl.

Not cool.

All my trainings paid off. My first boxing match (at least in quite some time) is in three weeks. I'll have to hit the gym a little more over the next few weeks.

Days off are nice. I slept all day. That said, who wants to show a girl around to food places? I don't want to go wandering alone right now, but I want more than crappy take out. The other night the pizza guy looked at me like I had six heads when I asked for a slice of cold cheese. Must remember I'm not in Oneonta and Sal's isn't here to make it for me.

Oh and for those who don't know what it is - a slice of cheese fresh out of the oven with a handful of cold, fresh shredded mozzarella on top. Heaven on a plate. Heaven I say. ooc note: this i a real thing. it's from my neck of the woods. it's delicious

I visited your famous Pinks Hot Dogs and meh. Unimpressed. I'd go for a Dirty Water dog any day of the week over this wannabe. I miss the food the most about New York I think.

Whoever came up with these is a genius.

[Shane Collins and Gwen Stacey]

And we should throw a party or something out at the house and rent one for it.

So I guess I should get cracking with this thing, it's been a while since I last kept a journal (junior high maybe?) so I'm not really sure what to write. Things back then seemed so much easier to talk about about and now it seems... not so much. Apparently these dreams I've been hearing about aren't just affecting a few select people but everyone. I guess I'll be paying more attention to the network from now on. I still don't really understand them or how they work. Are they really dreams or are they memories? Either way I've been talking to a lot of people I know about them and I guess I won't know what they're like until I have them too. I so didn't sign up for this...

[Caroline]

Hubbs is still being a jerk. I'm starting to feel like a kid who's bubble just popped.

Tell me someone is having a good party tomorrow? Got someone at work to switch shifts and I felt like ringing in the New Year with some fun.

Christmas shopping for your teenage sister is a pain in the ass. and your kind of ex girlfriend

So apparently its a requirement to dress up for the Halloween bash at work. Oh yay...

Since I'm not big in dressing up, formerly or costume wise, ideas would be appreciated.

Okay guys, enough letting me eat ice cream until I burst. I'm gaining like fifteen pounds from all this ice cream. I can't afford to gain fifteen pounds. Like, seriously, stop letting me eat like I'm some depressed high schooler. even though I broke my own heart. Hide all the ice cream! HIDE IT.

Now who's going to come get me to get off my ass and lose said ice cream pounds? Lets turn that into muscle!

Cindy
Sorry to say I forgot to grab my new shoes from his place before I bailed. I guess I need new shoes. Uh after I find a job again. Damn, I really liked those shoes too.

Neena
I am sending you all my chocolate. I so don't need to eat this much. Oddly enough I think being a logan groupie is less depressing. Weird.

Laura
Want to go do some friends like thing? I don't even care what, just I don't want to sit at home and stare at my wall.

So, as the dreams progress...badly I'm starting to feel like I need something stronger than wine. A lot stronger. It was my fault. I got Damon and Stefan killed. They died for me or love. All those people, I got them locked up in the tomb, but I escaped...

This morning at work one of the guys who works with my some days started going off on really, really bad surf jokes, I thought I should share them...

( Cut for Space )

The only thing worse than being stuck with someone is also dreaming while you're with someone. I may have screamed a couple times in my dreams. Thank god I'm not sharing a bed with this poor guy because I also apparently thrashed around while I was fighting in my dreams.

I dreamt that some bad things happened at our school and I decided to take Lissa and run away from everything. We spent a couple yeras trying to blend in with humans and such before we finally got caught. she also drank my blood and the guy who came to take us back to school was oddly attractive. dream feelings are awkward

I guess you people aren't crazy after all.

My first boxing match is next weekend. I'll be hitting the gym extra hard this week.

I had a new Dream last night. For the first time since... it feels like forever. I Dreamed something new. I'm not sure what to think about it all.

The latest notes from management. The owner loves me. I think it pisses the night manager off. I might enjoy pissing him off.

So far its slow tonight. Visitors welcome.

Double shots of espresso. Two monsters. And I'm still falling asleep. I can't sleep. I can't see that again. Going to make some more coffee.

It was so real

Where did they go? I swear they were just here. Three women. Anne. Pearl. Emily, I think? They were right in front of me. They were nice and then they turned into monsters. I felt them rip me apart. They were going to kill me. There was blood everywhere...

I think I need to get back into boxing again. I'm looking for something active to do. And then I can hit things. Can anyone recommend a good gym or trainer?

I could have done without being added to the list of dreamers. I really could have done without those dreams.

[Michael Glass]
I don't know who this Monica is that was being referred to in my dreams but I have never wanted to kill someone in my whole life until I had this dream.
[/Michael Glass]

[Kat Gilbert]
So. I'm hoping you're as good at distracting as I am. I could really use it.

The two bottles in the fridge are so not enough after what I just woke up from.

He killed them. He killed my entire family...

Oh why, oh why must the wine always be gone?

Not to make Lina feel any more or less guilty, but... I couldn't get a jar of pickles open today. Though, I've got the go-ahead to go back to work from my doctor. I'm supposed to "take it easy"... apparently that includes not opening jars of pickles.

( Public, cut for picture (no spoilers) )

Tonight, a customer asked for a sheet of paper or a napkin to write down some chicks phone number. Then he ate it.

Literally like fifteen minutes ago. WTF dude.

( No Filter - Cut for Image! )

The wrist is mending. I can't wait to go back to work. I hate just sitting around with nothing to do.

Head injuries, though. They take those really seriously.

Is it just me or did the costumes from the 90s Ninja Turtles movies look better than the CGI in the new one?

I have the night off for a change. Who wants to entertain me.

We have like three bags of penis pasta left over from Italy we didn't give to people. Who wants to come over for a dinner party? The classiest dinner party ever. Penis pasta and alfredo sauce.

Whoa. Whatever magical little laundry fairy cleaned up my room...you deserve a cookie. At least I don't have to do it. Whoever did it, thanks.

Apparently management doesn't have a sense of humor. This is what I saw when I got to work. Some of the customers found it amusing.

I'm rather excited. In addition to my weekly performance in Los Angeles I've been asked to write a weekly horoscope column in the Orange County paper. In celebration anybody who brings in the column for the first month it's printed will get 20% off the admission to my psychic evening.

Oh I apologise I'm getting ahead of myself, for those who don't know my name is Vanessa Ives and I've recently moved to Irvine from the heart of LA.

I don't know why I need to be on this network. I don't even have Facebook. Apparently it's a good way to keep on top of what's happening in the county. I don't know what happened to watching the news.

Thanks a lot creepy dreams. Dark circles are not sexy.

Cover-up is a girl's best friend.

So. We have a new dog. Not a dog. A puppy. The list of things he's chewed keeps growing and it is all my sister's fault. Michael probably won't be too happy. Anyone else have trouble saying no to their persistent little sisters?

This isn't good. I have a meeting scheduled with the recording company for Tuesday and my voice is gone. I thought it was laryngitis or something until I got on here and saw other people couldn't talk either. And I haven't been around anyone that's sick

Audrey, do you want me to come in for my shift tonight even though I can't talk?

[Shane and Alyssa Collins]
Either one of you able to talk?

Claire. I think you should stop studying and come play a game. Or watch a movie.


LYSSA.

Did you take my CD's? I can't find my CD's.

And my Iron Man 3 DVD.

Give em back you little thief.

Ah had another set of Dreams...

Ah... Ah don't even... Ah... can't...

Ah need a drink. And ta punch someone in the face. Or drink myself into oblivion. Ah was an awful person in mah dreams.

Filter: Gin
Can ah come hide out in yer spare room for a few days? Raven reminds me much of the woman in mah dreams and a h can't look at her right now without twitching...

My whole class is wondering why I've been in a good mood all week. I told them they have a test on Friday. Now maybe they will quit asking - even if it is true.

Hello lovelies! I'm Angel and I'm new to the area. Can I just say that I absolutely love SoCal? Because I do! I love everything about it! I should have moved here ages ago. Anyway, I'm taking the month off to enjoy absolutely everything I can in Orange County, and to go to cousin Zachary's wedding later this month.

Also, hi Zachary! I figured online was the best way to get in touch with you. We're going to be like neighbors now, isn't that fun? You should come over sometime, we can do some cousiny-bonding things, whatever they are. Oh, and bring Tessa, I want to meet her, my brothers are betting that she isn't real and I would so love to take them to the cleaners!

Anyway, anybody know where a woman can get an awesome piña colada in this county?

So, 21 doesn't feel all that different from 20. Except now I feel older. More mature. Like I'm finally growing up. Does or did anyone else feel that way when they reached a certain age? Almost like this was a rite of passage rather than a mere birthday.

Gosh, I'm sounding all deep and thoughtful. Crazy, I know.

Anyway, back to work. Not quite half-way through filming, and this thing is already coming together wonderfully! I'm super excited for you guys to see it!

I'm not supposed to be on here, but what father doesn't know won't hurt him.

YOU. ME. RENO. HALLOWEEN.

Be there or be square.

HA HA. Very funny. Got some ridiculous prank emails. Someone created some lame gmail account just to send me trash in my inbox?

Okay, not 'very funny'. It's actually really lame.

I GOT A NEW SISTER AND SHE'S THE BESTEST BEST THING EVER!

Oh, and also I'm learning how to make candy. I think I'm gonna make a dress out of candy and it'll be delicious and pretty!

What are you doing today valarnet? Was it fun? We should do something fun! Liiiiiiike a bouncy castle orrrrrrrrrr is laser tag fun? It looks colorful. Laser tag should be fun. Let's do that!

One of the interesting things about this island I'm dreaming about is how other shipwreck survivors seemed to have adapted. There's clear evidence of recent activity - shrines, wall paintings and the like. What's disturbing about it is how dark it is. It's as though they've tapped into the most disturbing parts of the human psyche. And they're very well armed, to top it all off.

I was in too much of a hurry to really stop and study what I was looking atThey strung her up, they strung her up like an offering, but what I did see was enough to make me want to get off that island, as soon as possible.

I had the dream again last night So I've got my first performance here in Orange County and it's going to be a weekly thing. Audrey's letting me play Tuesday nights at Baxter Bakery. Starting this week. It means I lose a night off later in the week but it's worth it

[Private to his housemates]
Sorry if I woke you guys up last night. I had the dream where Frank kills me another nightmare. Treats at the Bakery are on me tomorrow night to make it up to you? And bribe you into coming to hear me play

[Private to Gwen Stacey]
Any chance I could convince you to come and be a friendly face in the crowd?

[Private to Merlin]
Audrey's probably already told you but I'm playing at the Bakery tomorrow night. I'd like it if you two were there. Friends help settle my nerves

Nothing like getting back into the swing of classes after a huge night. My brain is saying "school? why school? go train for your next fight!" instead of "STUDY". Great adrenaline rushes are addicting, who knew?

The looks I get from the bruises, that are fading slowly, are hilarious. Not really expecting a business major to look like she got her butt kicked. I really do enjoy telling them, no I wasn't mugged. I won a cage match. The looks are the best.
