Thorn Wilde

Perhaps they were siblings in another life.

In my cat dream I had been out on like an epic adventure journey, and I came home to the two cats I had when I was a kid, only one of them had got himself a girlfriend. So I put up notes around the neighbourhood with 'Is this your cat?' And that was that. Very mundane. The dream said nothing about the epic adventure journey, I just know I'd been on one.

Yeah, the don't do other things in bed thing was something they told us in bipolar class. I suck at it. Part of the reason is that reading makes me sleepy, but if I read elsewhere and then get up and do things, I wake up again. How are you doing, Starry?

Sounds like my old kitty, Lovelace. She was the least graceful cat I have ever met. I'm convinced she was part dog. Also, she chirped like a bird. I miss that little weirdo.

I swear I have nice dreams too sometimes! Last night I dreamt about kittens.

In my dream, I woke up from the dream in hysterics, and I asked my boyfriend if that was really how the movie ended and he was like, no, this and this and this happened. And I asked, yeah, but did Drew die? He said yeah and I said, okay, well I'd better write the fanfic where he doesn't, then. Then I woke up for real. I'm pretty sure I'm actually awake now. The tea tastes real.

Sounds lovely. I had a short walk home from the tea thing. Only about 15 minutes, though. Still, that's not nothing. I had the most effed up dream while I was napping. I was in a movie, and for some reason @Drew Espinosa was in it—not really you, though, I don't even know you that well, but he had your first name and your face. And in my dream he was killed right at the end, and it was such a stupid, senseless death after all the action was finished, there was no reason behind it at all, and I was left thinking, that is frankly shit writing. Clearly, there's something really off with my brain... I'm sorry for dragging imaginary you into it, Drew.

That's how I sleep when I'm hypomanic... Difference is it's enough. Or, it feels like enough, it isn't enough at all... I have insomnia too, though, so sometimes I'm like that anyway, at least when I have to get up for something in the mornings... They tell me I should keep a steady sleep schedule, and sometimes I take melatonin. I'm terrible at the former, but the latter helps sometimes, lol! Bottom line is humans can't live like that. Most of us need 7 hours of sleep or we go nuts. Good news is it doesn't all have to be at once. So, fit in a nap or two. That's crazy weather right there, molly. Glad you're comfy and warm on the couch now. It's how I've spent my afternoon, too. Such is life, or so they'd have you believe. We are living in a pretty fucked up system...

Hi, cousin Gary! Tea was nice. So many good cakes! I had to nap when I got home, cause I was so full.

I just ruined your 33333. Congrats, though! Gonna read it myself, but haven't got round to it yet as I've been working on my own stuff.

To echo many others, you are not a slug, tim. You may not become the blue butterfly you wanted to be... But there are plenty of beautiful and spectacular caterpillars out there, and they live longer lives than the butterflies.

Take care of yourself.

Ugh. I fucking hate public bathrooms right now. Whichever one I choose, I feel like an impostor.

Me too.

I mean, if you actually had Australian heritage, like of people who are actually from Australia... That would be aboriginal blood. Same reason why those things don't usually tell you you're American...

I started my online writing career writing fanfiction, so my first site was fanfiction.net. They had an original fiction section that later broke off and became fictionpress. I still wrote mostly fanfic, though, and posted HP stuff to MuggleNet Fan Fiction for a while. Then I sort of dropped off the face of the Internet until I discovered AO3 back in 2012. I never posted to Nifty or any of those sites... Morning, my fellow Scandinavian! Happy Saturday! Well, I'm off to that tea thing. Have fun, everyone!

Morning, DiC! Just popping in before I head off for afternoon tea. Or, as I like to call it, breakfast. What tim said. When I've finished Storms, I'm never doing that again, ever. One thing is the possibility that I may abandon it, but then there is the fact that I'm retconing left, right, and centre now because the story is becoming full of inconsistencies. It's hard to keep up with 80k words of story prior to now, and when I reread sections I go, shit, I forgot about that! I've been going back to edit for new readers, but things still slip through the cracks. It's a nightmare, lol!

Goodnight, Parker! I'm off to bed as well. I have this afternoon tea thing I'm going to tomorrow, with some folks from my choir. Should be fun. Night, DiC!

Well, I'm off to bed, as it's 4am here now. Going to an afternoon tea thing with some folks from my choir tomorrow, so that should be fun. Night, everyone!

I don't think it is, but how do they check?

My oldest online published stories are from when I was 14. They're still floating around out there... Under a pen name I no longer use. And I will carry the secret of that pen name to my grave, lol!

Dude, anyone who can use a computer can submit stuff to Nifty.

Wow, that sounds pretty advanced. I did a little bit of fairly basic physics as part of the sound production degree I just quit. Really simple stuff for Electronics, just electrical currents and so on. Then there were Acoustics, calculating reflection and absorption of sound waves and so on. I always sucked at Maths, so not my strongest suit, lol!

No. They do not.

It was a dark moment in my birth country's history. We do not talk about it.
