I did go for a walk yesterday after Mark's parents arrived but it was SO chilly that my jaw started aching. I almost turned around and headed home then changed my mind. I texted Tom and he warned me the bars / food places were jammed with game day peeps (UofM's first football game of the season) so instead of heading downtown I headed in this big circle that brought me back home relatively quickly, but made me feel good about having gotten a bit of light exercise, which is all I need sometimes.

When I got back to the condo, I warmed up and got over the effects of the cold (the pain)...then joined Mark & his parents for 2 games of euchre - each player winning once, then some card tricks, conversation, and they went home; it was nice to see them. I also talked on the phone with Michael while they were there (he's good and we might hang out Monday night) and also traded texts with Shawn Walker.

I chatted online for a long time, with old, dear friends like Mollie & Monty Vaughn...and chatted with new guys too, who for once, were really cool. I chatted late into the night, waiting for a call from Shawn saying he was going to Aut Bar but figured he'd fallen asleep...only I got a delayed text that let me know he'd gone over 2 hours previously (at 10pm). It was nearly 1am when I left for the bar. I ran into lots of people I knew (Terry, Jared, Ryan, bartender Michael). Shawn was there with his friend Steve; good to see him again; Shawn was TRASHED. Jared tried to kiss / fondle me. I also said hello to this guy who I didn't remember but had talked to last year - his name is Brian and he's moving to Ypsi on Wednesday to go to school at EMU - he's cute and he remembered our conversation from the previous year and how Michael had been with me at the time and that he hadn't spoken. I think I made an ass of myself, but that's fine.

After Aut...or after Shawn interrupted me talking to Brian to say that he & Steve were leaving and that if I wanted to go with them I had to go right then...we walked to NYPD; I was cold but at least had my leather jacket / hat on; the other two weren't so lucky. When we got there, Steve went in while I waited for Shawn to finish a cigarette...we were standing very close and talking intently, and he was leaning on me for warmth and support and this car stopped and a guy shouted out the window for us to kiss and that it would be cute - so we did. It was funny. Only in Ann Arbor. :)

The pizza there always looks gross. Ick. But the company was good. Lots of fun conversation. We then walked Steve (who just moved into a new place on Lawrence) home. Then we walked hand in hand back to Aut Bar where we talked for another hour I think. I still like him. He still likes me. And it's both wonderful and terrible. After a while we sat in my car cause it was cold but when I started the car I was reminded that the gas light had come on when I was on my way to the bar so I took him with me to get gas. He left shortly after we got back to Aut.

I was very tired. But when I got home I just couldn't sleep and stayed up for nearly 4 more hours. Going to bed around 8am. I slept until just after 2pm. Slept well. Got up. Did Farmtown and wrote this.
