It's been a pretty exciting few weeks.

Cheryl was kidnapped and ended up in the hospital, Kevin got hurt trying to help her, and just yesterday Midsummer Nights got robbed, and Julian got hurt trying to stop it.

He's in the hospital right now; Gordon's with him, so I guess he's going to be OK. I hope so.

It started out as just an ordinary shift...I was shelving some of the new inventory, and Aeryn and Julian were in the back unpacking the rest of the stuff I was supposed to shelve.

I'm not really sure what happened, but there were some noises from the back room, and then I heard Aeryn start yelling for me to call 911, 'cause Julian was hurt.

The ambulance came, and then the police...Aeryn told them that someone had broken into the back room and attacked her and Julian, then made off with one of the books.

Aeryn called up Gordon, then closed up the store and brought me home, where I kind of lost it and started bawling on Sebby and Kevin. They were really great, though, and just held on to me until I felt better.

Sebby and Kevin told me we'll go visit Julian while he's laid up. Maybe I'll take him something to read...he might like that.

Been talking with Aya the past few days. I've decided that I like her, but not the way I like Kev and Sebby. She's very sweet, and a wonderful friend, but what I have with the guys is something really special. I'm not really sure that it can accomodate another person.

Fortunately, Aya's OK with that. She's still staying with the three of us until she can get back on her feet, but she wants to contribute something. Sebby suggested Julian and Aaron's friend, the one who had the portrait done of the two of them, and Kevin's going to talk to Llew Darian and see if Llew's father needs someone to paint things for the Avalon Theatre Company. And I suggested Midsummer Nights; sometimes we have book signings or live music, and Aeryn's said that Elspeth O'Rourke (who owns the store) can always use some pretty signs. So it looks like Aya has a number of venues to do what she likes and is good at. Yay us!

I had another dream last night -- me, Sebby, Kevin, Cheryl and this yummy redhead were traveling to Cheryl's future groom's realm for the wedding. We stopped at an inn, and the serving girl looked a lot like Aya.

We were sitting down to dinner when this brute over at the next table grabbed Aya and started groping her. Needless to say, Kevin wasn't about to stand for that, and he came over and told them to leave her alone. It looked like things might get ugly there for a little bit, but Sebby bribed them into going to find a good time somewhere else.

We weren't about to leave Aya in that predicament, so Cheryl took her on as a lady-in-waiting before we got underway again. Luckily, between us we were able to pay off Aya's bond to the innkeeper.

And that's about where I woke up....

I guess I really should go and feed Naoise; I'm taking care of him while Aeryn's visiting her family for Easter. I wonder what it's like in Ireland right now?

We had some friends over for a DVD (Underworld) and snacks last night -- Julian, Gordon, Cheryl, and Gavin. After the movie, Kevin had fun making fun of the glowing "ultraviolet" rounds in the movie. Then Sebby and Gavin got to talking about the outfit Kate Beckinsale (who's sort of the main vampire) wore in the film. I told him I couldn't look like that in a corset on my best day -- not unless I stuffed my bra. Then the conversation took a turn towards guys stuffing their pants after that, and I found out more than I think I wanted to know about some of the guys at Julian and Gordon's high school.

Aya's staying with us now -- it's nice to see her coming out from under Judith's shadow at last. She's so incredibly sweet, even if she's still as shy as a skittish doe. She really seems to feel comfortable with me, though, which is good. I really want her to be happy...if that means she stays with us permanently, that'd be wonderful, but even if it doesn't, that's okay too. She's my friend, and I want her to be happy.

I talked to Kev and Sebby after everyone left, and Sebby mentioned that there are "oaths" that are binding for people like him and Kevin, and even for people like me. So even if we can't get married legally, maybe we can make a commitment to ourselves another way.

I had an interesting dream last night, too. It was in the pagan "convent" that I'd dreamed about before. There was a messenger for Lady Ceara (isn't that Cheryl's other name? I'll have to ask Kev...) who was sent there to take her to her betrothed, Lord Gavin ap Fiona. The messenger, whose name was Garrett, looked awfully familiar, though I'm not sure precisely from where.

Anyway, this woman who looked an awful lot like Aeryn asked me to go and get Kevin, so he could talk to Garrett. I found Kevin and Sebby in the bath (it was a Roman-style one, big enough to swim in), making out together. Poor Kevin was so embarassed when he saw me standing there; I offered to turn my back until he was dressed.

After Kev was "decent," we went off to talk to Garrett. Since I'd been the one taking care of Kevin, I explained that it'd be a few more days before he was up to riding for almost four days. Aeryn and this man who looked like Kevin's friend Kellin (I think he was the "war duke," whatever that means) said that was all right, and that Garrett could use that time to rest up and refresh himself. He was agreeable to that, and Sebby went to show him around.

I caught up with Sebby again around dinnertime -- I was busy making some tea to help Kevin sleep through the night, since he'd been having nightmares about the attack that landed him and Ceara in the convent in the first place. Sebby offered to go with me to make sure Kevin took his medicine; I left the two of them alone after I dropped off the cup... And that's pretty much where I woke up.

Like I said -- interesting dream.

I haven't had time to write in a while; I've been busy taking care of Aya after she got sick a few days ago.

She's staying with me, Kevin and Sebby now; we've got her set up in Kevin's old bedroom, and we're going to move her stuff in after she gets better.

I feel kind of bad for Aya since she's figured out the truth about Judith, but at least she's got real friends to help her out.

Kev and Sebby have been real sweethearts about this whole thing; I love them so much!

I'm still not entirely sure of my feelings for Aya, though -- are they just friendship, or something more? I know I'm not like Julian (besides in the obvious way), but beyond that...I know that I liked it when she kissed me, but I'm not sure I like any other girls except Aya.

OK, time to stop LJing and go work on that oral presentation for American Lit....

Aya kissed me yesterday.

We'd been talking with Julian (poor boy, he hadn't been doing so well since what happened to his brother), and Aya came by. She wasn't with The Skank Formerly Known as Judith, so I invited her to come sit with us.

It seems Judith's been pretty much ignoring Aya lately, the bitch. Poor Aya's been mostly hanging around their apartment and watching TV a lot, but said that even that got boring after a while. I could see where it would, especially since the networks seem to be canceling all the good shows -- when I found out Angel had gotten canceled, I felt like I really ought to have hurt somebody. Julian wasn't happy either -- apparently, we both think David Boreanaz is a hottie. ;)

Anyway, Aya agreed to come and spend the evening with us. I took her off to get something to eat while Julian and Sebby talked, and Aya kissed me! It felt...nice.

Maybe I do like other girls, at least a little -- or maybe I just like Aya.

So she came over and we watched the second series of Magic Knights Rayearth for a while. I told her about how Kevin, Sebby and I dressed up as Lantis, Eagle and Hikaru for Halloween, and we had a good laugh about what happened afterwards.

I think I'm going to ask Aya to show me what she likes -- maybe then she won't feel that she needs to have Judith the Skank anymore. She really deserves better, y'know?

Sebby said he's thinking of talking to Sandra about taking on Aya's case -- apparently, Sandra's family has a thing about protecting people like Aya. Hopefully it'll work.

I just got back from work a little while ago. It's just me, Sappho and Aeryn for a while -- Julian's taking a couple days off. Of course, after what happened to his brother, I don't really blame him.

I got the news from Ginny in #12 -- apparently, Julian's brother's in the hospital, after getting his leg cut off (!)

I heard from Gordon (via Sebby) that Julian's been really broken up about the whole thing -- he's blaming himself for what happened. Gordon's really worried, and so are the rest of us at Midsummer Nights.

Maybe I'll make some cookies to take over to the guys -- Julian really liked them the last time he was over, and it might cheer him up a little. Maybe. I hope.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

2004-02-29T15:03:02Z

I hate Judith. I want to slap that arrogant smirk right off her plastic-pretty face. Maybe I should intimate that she got that face by plastic surgery -- "Can you still smile, or would your face crack from the skin being all stretched out?"

The other night, we had Aya over for dinner. It was really cool, until the Queen Bitch from Hell showed up. Would you believe that she actually tried to physically drag Aya out of our apartment? And then when I told her to get the hell out, she started a fight!

Kevin, Sebby and I put a stop to that really quick. Poor Aya had a nasty red mark on her wrist from where Judith tried to yank her out of the apartment.

Judith stormed out of our place and into hers and Aya's. Poor Aya was just beside herself; luckily, Sebby thought to have Kevin go over in an official capacity (badge and all) to make sure that skank didn't mess up any of Aya's things. Sebby and I stayed behind to calm poor Aya down. It really kind of hurt to see how Judith's got poor Aya thinking that they need each other. Yeah, right! The Skank is just taking advantage of poor Aya's good nature -- I just know it.

Sebby and I managed to convince Aya to spend the night and go back after Judith the Skank had calmed down. I lent her a nightgown, and gave her Hikari to sleep with -- I figured it'd make her feel better.

When Kev came back, he was steamed -- Judith actually had the nerve to lodge a complaint against him with Detective Storms (that's Kevin's boss)! What a bitch!

Kev had to go take Cheryl to her debut after that, so Sebby and I calmed Aya down and set her up in Kev's old bedroom with Hikari (and the door open in case Bree wanted to come sleep with her, 'cause she really liked our little kitty girl).

The next morning, Judith came and begged Aya to come back. I wasn't too enthusiastic about that, but poor Aya's so wrapped up in that skanky bitch that she said yes.

I really need to talk to her without Judith around....

I talked to Sebby and Kevin yesterday about Aya. They're OK with my feelings, which is great. I <3 my guys!

Now I just have to figure out a way to get Aya away from Judith the Queen Bitch...Sebby suggested having her over for dinner, and telling Miss I'm-Queen-of-the-World that my boyfriend's a policeman, so Aya will be perfectly safe. *giggles*

Kevin's really worried about some sort of serial killer out there -- I've promised him I'll be extra careful. He's dear, but sometimes too overprotective. It's not like I can't take care of myself, even if I can't use magic or carry around a sword.

Maybe I should think about taking aikido again -- I wasn't so bad in high school....

I saw Aya again today. She sat next to me in Myths and Legends, and I found myself looking at her legs. Okay, admiring them.

She's so pretty.

This is starting to weird me out a little, because I've never really felt like this about another girl before.

Is this what Kevin and Sebby felt, back when they first met each other?

I love them both very much, but lately I'm feeling this...I don't know what...infatuation, maybe...for Aya.

I need to talk to Sebastian and Kevin....

Update

2004-02-11T01:50:39Z

Shanna's moving back to New Jersey with her mom and dad; Mr. and Mrs. Whitman said she'll be going to college near them when she's up to it.

Despite everything that happened, I really hope she'll be okay. She looked so fragile when I went to see her in the hospital, like a doll, or a really little girl.

I'm settling in with Kevin and Sebby; things are pretty much OK. I've gotten my address changed at school and work, and gave my parents my new phone number. Maybe I should look into getting a cell phone....

Yesterday, I started talking to this girl in my Myth and Legend class named Aya. She's Japanese-American too, but from Seattle, Washington (as opposed to San Francisco). She's got the prettiest eyes, and the glossiest black hair...almost makes me want to invite her over to have fun with Kevin, Sebby and me.

Anyway, Aya's looking for a place to live off-campus. I told her about the Villa, and that there'll be an apartment opening up right across the hall from me. She thinks it's a cool idea.

While we were talking, this other girl came over and told Aya to come along with her. Poor Aya looked like she'd done something terribly wrong.

The other girl turned out to be Aya's girlfriend, Judith. I don't think I like her very much -- she treats Aya like crap. Or maybe it's just the aftereffects of Shanna and Anduin. Then again, even Anduin wasn't that insufferable.

Maybe I'll ask Aya over for dinner sometime...without Judith.

Off to watch something with Kevin and Sebby before Kev has to turn in....

Shanna's in the hospital at GWU; something about a psychological shock and collapsing at a Borders in Foggy Bottom. Mrs. Whitman called me up today; that's how I found out.

I feel kind of bad about the fight we had now -- if I'd known this was going to happen, maybe I would have been more patient with her. Problem is, I'm always thinking about what I should have done after it's too late, dammit.

Despite the differences we had, I really want her to be OK. Even if we didn't get along over the past couple of months, we were still, if not friends, at least friendly acquaintances, once.

I think I need Kevin and Sebby to hold me and not let go for a while....

Update on the apartment

2004-02-07T15:57:33Z

I'm staying with Kevin and Sebby, at least until this thing with Shanna blows over. I brought over a bunch of stuff -- there'll probably be more in the next few days.

I brought over the rice cooker and showed Sebastian how to use it -- I think he was pretty amazed.

I think I could get used to sleeping in between the two of them every night. It feels...safe, somehow. And it's kind of nice to have Bree curled up in the bed with us too. I guess she likes it where it's warm; she's sleeping on Sebby's monitor right now as I type this.

It's really kind of nice sleeping with the two of them, even if Kevin's alarm clock does go off at at, like, 5 in the morning.

Off to take a shower....

mickey_chan @ 2004-02-06T15:45:00

2004-02-06T20:54:25Z

I have had it.

This morning, Shanna was going on and on about Anduin again, so I told her I didn't want to hear it anymore. She got mad at me, and we started yelling at each other. She called me a slut. I called her an idiot.

It sort of went from there.

When I get home from work today, I'm moving my stuff across the hall to Sebby and Kevin's. And if Shanna gets mad, I'll tell her to reimburse me for her half of the rent from December and January.

Maybe if I'm lucky I can get Julian and some of the others to help me carry things....

I wonder if I can move in with Kevin and Sebby permanently -- it'd be better than this, that's for sure!

Anduin, Anduin, always Anduin!

2004-02-03T02:07:13Z

If I hear any more about how wonderful Shanna thinks Anduin is, I am going to scream.

What's so wonderful about someone who gets you to neglect your classes, forget to pay the rent, and shut everyone else out of your life? I've had it!

She wants to move in with Anduin at the end of the semester? Fine, see if I care! I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a bitch I am for dissing my roommate's perfect girlfriend. And she thinks I'm the one who can't stand to see anybody else happy? Get real!

I'm seriously considering packing up my things and moving in across the hall with Kevin and Sebby for the duration. At least they like having me around. With Shanna it's always, "Anduin says this," and "Anduin says that," and "Anduin and I..." blah, blah, blah. Ticks me off.

Off to do something other than rant in LJ....

I just found out that Morgan Daniels killed herself over winter break.

She lived down the hall from me in Darnall last year. We sat at the same table once or twice in the dining hall. I remember that she had auburn hair, and these painted flowers on her jeans.

She was in my American Lit class last semester. I never really talked to her that much, and now I find myself wondering if I had, maybe it wouldn't have happened.

I don't know what to do. One part of me thinks I should be crying, but I can't find any tears. Another part of me is wondering if I should have noticed something about her, if maybe this could have been prevented.

And part of me just wants someone to hold me and make me not feel this way anymore....

2004-01-21T00:41:42Z

I'm going to have to make sure Kevin takes better care of himself. Sure, he worries about everyone else, but has no problem with running himself ragged while he does it.

Last night, he had guard duty at the freehold. Sebby and I waited up for him, and I got to learn a little more about them that I hadn't known before -- like how things weren't quite the way they remembered them in Columbus after they got back from a trip into Faerie. Of course, Sebby hadn't known about Kevin being an altar boy in elementary school, so I guess it works both ways.

Anyway, Sebby and I had some fun waiting for Kevin. He walked in the door after we'd been going at it for a while. I think he was a little startled; Gordon kidded him about his reaction.

Kevin joined in for a little while, but then he seemed kind of out of it -- he'd gotten hurt protecting Dru from some sort of refugee from a hentai anime -- tentacles coming out of its body(!). He fell asleep on the couch, and when I went to brush the hair out of his eyes, I noticed he felt like he had a fever. We got him to take some Tylenol, and then put him to bed.

The next morning, he was really sick; his temperature got up to a hundred and one, and that cut on his wrist was really painful; he yelped when I touched it. Sebby thought it might be infected, so he went and got Christopher Ryan from #4 -- he's an EMT. When Christopher got the bandage off to take a look at, it didn’t look too good – kind of red and puffy and oozing. Christopher thought it might be poisoned, though he said something about not knowing why those things went after Kevin and the rest of the fae -- “Usually, they go after people like us.”

It turns out that “people like us,” are werewolves. I guess that means Christopher is like Yuki, in the other building. He started telling us about fighting things like the one that hurt Kevin – I wasn’t listening too hard, because some of the things he was saying were really, really squicky, if you know what I mean. Luckily, Sebby got him to stop before I got too sick to my stomach.

Christopher called up a friend of his who’s a doctor – a nice guy by the name of Keighvin Mordrid. He’s apparently got some special talents, too, because he did the laying-on-hands bit, and Kevin’s wrist healed up without even a scar! It was just like the sort of thing that goes on in fantasy books – I never thought I’d see it really happen, though!

I guess I was right about the laying-on-hands thing, because Christopher told us that Dr. Mordrid is a magician – a real magician. I think he’s more like the Healers in the Valdemar books – I can just picture him in a green robe. :) Maybe I shouldn’t tell him that, though – Sebby and I’ve made arrangements for all of us to go to him. Yep, Kevin too. With everything that’s been happening to him, it’s probably good to be seeing a doctor who can handle this sort of thing. And Julian and Gordon have been seeing him, and he took care of Aeryn in the hospital, so I’m pretty much sold.

Gotta go – I promised the guys I’d bring over the next DVD of Weiss Kreuz. I think Kevin may have a crush on Aya...or maybe he just likes that katana...:)

Kevin's car died while he was bringing home some takeout. Luckily, Gordon gave me and Sebby a ride. We picked up Kevin on the Beltway - he was grateful, but I think he really wouldn't want to know too much about the magazines Sebby borrowed.

We had another dream - Kevin was carving the statue that's at the McFinn Mansion, and I was modeling for it in the dream. So I guess the guys were right about there being a resemblance.

Later on in the dream, Kevin and Sebby were revolutionaries, and they brought a wounded man - make that woman - to me to take care of. The weird thing is, the woman looked a lot like Dru from downstairs. Maybe it's a symbol of something, like in books?

I need to get ready for Professor Hunter's baby shower - I've decided to get her the bottle bag and the teether on her registry - I hope she likes it.

Reading this back, it seems to be kind of stream-of-consciousness, but I guess that's what you get at this hour....

2004-01-04T17:23:13Z

Almost forgot -- the McFinn mansion used to be owned by Aidan McFinn.

Aeryn's husband's name was Aidan, and in the dreams the worker referred to her as "the widow McFinn." Could there be a connection?

Under the complex

2004-01-04T15:31:55Z

Sebby, Kevin, Christopher Ryan and I went underneath the complex yesterday.

Kevin was really floored when he saw the statue of the warrior woman with wings -- he thinks it's of one of his ancestresses (I think). I think he was majorly floored when he saw it, especially since he's been having the same dreams as me and Sebastian.

Christopher seemed to think the water underneath was "holy." I guess that fits in with the way Sebby and Sandra were acting when they first saw it.

Kevin said there should have been one more statue, but we couldn't find it anywhere in the cave complex. Though we did find the remains of the fire pit, and that seemed to hit Kevin the same way the statues did. Poor boy -- he was shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.

Since we didn't find the missing statue underneath the Villa, we came back up and decided to start checking out the Net. It didn't take long before we found the McFinn Mansion, which is a historical site not too far from the Villa.

The McFinn Mansion has a lot of neat things on display -- Aidan McFinn's sword, a silver chalice from the original St. Ginevra's...and our missing statue. The guys seemed to think it looks like me -- I guess there could be a resemblance.

When we got home, we had a lot to think about. And we had even more to think about when we woke up this morning. Yep, we had another dream.

This one seemed to be a continuation of the one in the 1700s. Kevin was still laid up, but after Sebby and I took him to the pool, he was a lot better. Which might tie in with Chelsea -- Professor Hunter -- being pregnant, even though she thought she couldn't, and what Christopher Ryan said about the swimming pool water healing Talyn, back before the three of us moved in.

I don't know what's going on, but it might be interesting to find out, you know?
