Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The good list, not the Perkins-abandoned list.

HEY! I'm not even sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it's not nice.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

One thing I've noticed happening since I was a kid was having moments in dreams where I stumble or otherwise mistep in the dream and jar myself awake. I'm pretty sure it's because my body is acutally doing something jarring and my dream tries to account for it.

Also, rooms in my dreams always seem to end up with puddles, piles of refuse, webs of all sorts, sometimes dirt and lots and lots of dust. Sometimes critters of various sizes. And it doesn't feel wrong in the dream (most of the time).

I think my subconscious is nagging me for not doing more house work.

you ascended when you inhaled and descended as you exhaled and it was a very persuasive experience to those who did it.

Well, since it works in the water...

Happy birthday, Allyson!

This is extremely common, and is called a myoclonic or hypnic jerk: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, since it works in the water...

When I inhale underwater I almost always drown.

Oh! You mean when my head is above water. Got it.

I've definitely flown in dreams--it's generally where magically the air becomes like water, and I can just kind of swim through it!

Yeah, that definitely. But sometimes it's really hard! And not all relaxing like you would think.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I let my piercings close up years ago - my nickel allergy makes it almost impossible to wear jewelry so I never got into the habit. (No matter how careful I was to only buy earrings labeled 14k-everything, I never met a pair that didn't trigger horrible eczema. Ick.)
