I'm going do it. I'm going to really do it this time.

I'm quitting smoking. So please give me every stupid tip you have to stop.

Okay, Valarnet.

I need friends. I can't have another year of nothing but work and school. That shit will be the death of me.

So, yeah. I'm Wilee, I'm kind of awesome and I like almost everything. Let's be buds.

Is it bad that I'm uncomfortable when it's this peaceful here?

It just doesn't seem right.

...Also, it's my birthday tomorrow. Anyone want to help me celebrate?

I just woke up. At my desk.

I have been sleeping all day after a pot of coffee this morning.

I swear to God, when I find out who did it I will be setting up a goddamned guillotine.

So this has been making the rounds. Rest assured, the SIM cards of Starkphones are protected, courtesy of yours truly. You can stop submitting the questions to customer service.

Hello! My name's Michael, and I will be working here! Not here, on this network, you know but in Irvine, CA, which is pretty cool, gotta say! You guys heard of Tony Stark? Yeah, he hired me.

Well, not him. Some jerkface in HR, but still. Pretty good, huh? Yeah. Looking forward to it, I
really am.

That's what she said.

( cut for language and trigger warning )

I don't think I want to sleep again. Ever.

Good bit of news then. More this week in science type bits, though it's a bit weird on timing due to recent events, but no matter. It's still brilliant!

A decapitated planarian worm has been discovered that it can regrow its entire head, including its own memories! Isn't that brilliant? Could lead to a break through in solving memory issues. Wouldn't that be nice really, to be able to just... 'come back'? Perhaps a bit different, but keep all those memories?

And the first artificial heart was declared ready for human trials, and the scientists watched the largest known star's birth in the Milky Way! Fantastic really.

Oh and gene therapy was used to cure two rare diseases... which means gene therapy could quite truly be the next miracle treatment.

Also, not science but history, today marks Disneyland's 58th birthday, as it opened on July 17th in 1955. Big day for this area I suppose...

What's more, I just got my new toothbrush from ancient Babylon. Made from bristling the ends of a twig; also, Ancient Egyptian toothpaste. Made from Ox Hooves' ashes and burnt eggshells!

It really is terrifying that we're over halfway through the year now. How is that even possible?

I feel like time speeds up expoentially after 35.

And now, to add insult to injury, sinus infection. This I need.

Tali, I need to go away from here. And trees. Somewhere nice. You pick.

I never want to have to go through that ever again.

Well that was..terrifying.

It's over. There's only the clean up.

Anyone really, really good with applied physics, synthetic beings and energy mechanics?

My catsuit just turned up in my closet, completely out of the blue.

Can't say I'm complaining. Fits just as well as it does in the dreams.

Something I can't identify that's apparently an alien?

I really find that difficult to believe, actually.

I will protect you all if it kills me.


These blue things you're seeing are called Husks. They're dangerous, they're deadly, they have no emotion, no feeling and no individuality left.

If you're reading this message than you're probably a dreamer.

If you're not a fighter, run. If you are, don't feel any remorse when you defend yourselves. You're doing them a favor.

JoeyRay's is temporarily closed.

Busy fighting alien zombies.

You know, when they said 'dreams come true', I didn't think they meant these dreams.

Move to California, they said.

It'll be good for your career, they said.

It's absolutely not zombie infested, they said.

I've heard this is the place to introduce ourselves, so here goes. I'm Ariadne Cooper, new architect at Stark Industries. I just moved to California from Paris, so needless to say this is kind of culture shock.

It's nice to meet you all though! Er, so to speak.

What is it now? 3-0? I'm actually starting to lose count of how many disastrous wedding attempts Tony and I have had at this point.

I can't believe I'm making another one of these posts

Despite popular opinion The Dragons were NOT a part of the wedding event. We did not hire dragons or a dragon tamer to put on a show during the reception. Believe me, I checked the invoices and our bank accounts. I thought it was another terrible idea of Tony's at first too.

We will, of course, be paying the hospital bills for anyone who was harmed during our attempted wedding. Please, everyone, accept our sincerest apologies for yet another wedding mishap. I'm not sure we will be attempting another one on such a large scale.

Well, shit.

Wish I could say I didn't see that one coming.

Note to self: ignoring the internet for extended periods of time leads to withdrawals.

I don't get the wine thing. I mean yes, I understand the fermenting of grapes create wine and everything, and I will drink it (because, as is always brought up among my numerous character flaws, I am a near-alcoholic) but a wine walk?

I mean, you walk, you drink wine.

Isn't that just Friday nights at a New England college anyway?

I could do with roughly 70% less excitement if that's okay with everyone. Seriously, we've been full-tilt for a few months it seems.

No more sickness or other stuff for at least a month or two, okay? Okay.

Sure, I feel like shit, but I got a nice present in the closet.

Armor!

Just pretend that's a blonde and has more of a red/black color scheme, with less silver XD

garrus

pick up more tea while you're out

So we had a literal Boston Marriage last week.....

Ladies & Gentlemen, boys and girls and whatever you identify with, I have an announcement. Big, life changing announcement actually.

Well, not for you. I mean, your lives will basically be the same.

I, Tony Stark, will be marrying the hell out of Pepper Potts because I asked her and she said yes. And if any of you talk her out of it, I'll find where you live and blast metal outside your house while you try to bring home your date for the first time. You know the one, the hot architect or whatever.

But seriously. We're engaged.

There's so much stress put upon being relentlessly, constantly cheerful around this season. I've had a headache since Thanksgiving.

I don't know how I managed it, but I cracked the screen on my Stark phone. Now everything is all distorted, but it still works!

The worst thing about ordering things online is the wait. OH GOD THE WAIT. C'mon new computer parts, get here already! Curse the postal services for not running on weekends!

I miss instant gratification. But it's so tedious to go shopping in a real store. Especially at this time of year.

So, at first this was just going to be for Stark Industries, but then I realized I was a rampaging douche to virtually all of you, so let's do this right.

I'm sorry I'm a dick. Come eat Turkey tomorrow. Irvine Campus, all day.

I'm making the cranberry sauce.

I'm dressing up as Captain Sally from Varric Tethras' book series. I've always wanted to be a pirate.

So Xi'an and I are going to get married, and there's too many people I want to tell that it'll take me awhile, so consider this a formal announcement!

Valarnet,

I too have a question to ask of you. Owing to an incident earlier today involving the wheel of a car, which I'm not entirely convinced was an accident, I am in need of a new personal cellular phone. It has been suggested that I finally join the 'smart-phone club.' I was hoping to hear your recommendations before proceeding any further.

HEY VALARNET!

Anybody want to start a gaming group with me? D&D is preferable, and I'll do 3.0 or below (CURSE YOU 3.5 YOU SUCK). I guueeeess I could be persuaded to play WoD, but I'd rather not because it's silly. BYOD!

Let me know here! I'm so excited, I still have my DMG and all of my sourcebooks and eee!

Has anyone else found objects that pertain to their dreams? I've found three, so far, and I know others have as well. I'll take the risk and share.

A charred spacehelmet.
Implants.
A vehicle. Mako no!

There's no Shepard without Vakarian

Garrus, I hope we didn't make it to that bar for that drink.

Hashtag 'hifelix.'

This. This is precisely why truth is stranger than fiction. Stark shows up the Austrian space-diver and tweets about it.

Ladies who will be attending Natasha's soiree, please let me know your favorite colors here. You may text me your measurements [here] so that they remain private.

I have no idea how my life has come to this point. I'm terribly amused.

Today is not helping me with my anger management issues.

Well.

Safe to say the new boosters worked.

Post your thoughts on a blog, they said. It'll be good for you, they said.

Hm. My dreams have a tendency to be pretty violent and heartbreaking.

Seems like I should be more disturbed.

Garrus is home safe. Thank you all for your help.

Uh, can anybody teach me how to do elaborate eyemakeup on myself? Also, where do drag queens buy their wigs? I'm not interested in the cheapy stuff I can find in the stores.

...This looks terrible. It's for Halloween, I swear.
