Somehow I failed to blast LiveJournal with my latest creation! Well, I'm not sure how many folks actually still read these [what's the call sign here?]. I don't do my own share of keeping up (though on the plus side that means I do the majority of my spamming elsewhere, too, right? *cough* HOW ARE THINGS ( Read more... )

Just linking some dreams I recorded in ifitweremydream a long while ago, because it took me a bit to track them down again.
