oneiromancy necessary
It's 7am. I've been up since around 6am after exactly 4hours of sleep, which's par the course for me nowadays instead of the normal 7 hours. Dear self, please start dreaming properly because Total Darkness is annoying and tendency toward lucid-dreaming means it will make me wake up out of sheer..boredom. I'm horribly tired and has a panda-ish ( Read more... ) -
I really should sleep, but all my dreams have dissolved so there's no point
There's a type of post-movie Charles/Erik fic that can be succintly summed as: "Are you there Charles? It's me, Erik." (this is a Judy Plume reference, but I've actually never read the book).

Called my brother, I did leave my flashdrive in a backpack at home. Well, at least it's found, but I did have to go on Amazon and purchase another one, bigger and I hope, better, since it's advertised as fast, waterproof and possibly vehicle proof as well.
