Dreams
I haven't been remembering my dreams as often lately, though they were interesting a couple nights ago.
At one point, I was involved in some sort of running battle in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Our enemies had futuristic aircraft; they may even have been the aircraft. They were not from Earth and may, in fact, have been robots. Whatever they ( Read more... ) -
Dream Snippets
Just little bits and pieces of dreams. I haven't had any that are long and interestingly lately. Well, last night's was, but it's pretty easily summed up ( Read more... ) -
School
Two weeks until class ends. It doesn't seem real. Looking back, it's been an odd year. The first quarter was grammar boot camp and weekly writing assignments.

I want to change the name to something else, but I want something with a similar feel, a name suited to a world literally built on the ruins of a hundred long-lost empires. ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I think I'll forgo my usual April Fool's Day rant. The day has been pretty benign in recent years, with a greater focus on silliness and fun as opposed to mean-spirited trickery. That doesn't mean I'm letting my guard down, but I am letting some of the hate go. -
Hey LJ Developers...
As long as you're copying Facebook features, why not give us the one where we can ignore reading someone's journal without the drama of defriending them? I'd like that. -
Musical Memes Make My Morning Melancholy
But not really. This little game has been going around amongst the RPGnetters I know here on LJ.
Here are the rules: Comment with a request, and I'll give you a letter. You go and post five favorite songs/music videos that start with that letter.
