Saturday I burned still more dvds for Mollie; I have about 7 left to go; 2 of which aren't arriving until later this week. Saturday night I stopped by Mike's to visit him & our online friend Mat. Michael had cleaned his place up nice. We stopped by my place, and then they drove me to Aut Bar. I saw Anthony and his friend Tim, Gino, Erin, Terry, Mark, Jim, Rusty; I met Lynette & Jim (who once hit on Mikey, then Mike found out Jim still had a boyfriend - and really bad breath), and probably a bunch of other people that escape my memory at the moment. I had fun anyways. I was exhausted, and had a headache, so we went back to myplace for awhile, and then they left so I could sleep.

The sleeping was wonderful. I woke up feeling great on Sunday. I finished the DS9 Mirror Universe story I've been reading on and off for over a month; it got really good towards the end of it. I also read more of the new KRAD novel I'm reading, which I'm enjoying so far. I worked from 6:50pm to 11:40pm. I worked with Bill, Rookie & John. Michael came and hung out with me for a few hours.

I rented 'Spirited Away' & 'Princess Monoke'. I saw the latter, years ago, but never got around to watching the former. I started it when I got home from work but had to go to bed soon after as I was thrashed. This morning I drove Mark to work and then went to my followup appointment on my migrain meds. That went extremely well. Then I went to Meijer & Kroger to return bottles; using some of the money to get some more groceries. Then I went to the bank to deposit some cash in my account, as I've been bad about doing that lately, and then I came home. I finished watching 'Spirited Away' while I burned another disc for Mollie, and ate some soup. Now the movie is done, which I enjoyed, and I have to pick up Mark from work in about an hour. I'm tired, but don't want to lay down as I might fall asleep and leave Mark stranded...which would be bad.

We got in a horrible fight in the car this morning. He has this new bad habit, where if a car cuts us off when he has the right of way, instead of honking his horn or flicking them off, he charges towards them with our car, putting our lives in jeopardy, to prove a point. It's happened a couple times in the last week alone. It's insane. He says he's teaching them a lesson and he's tempted to actually hit them. He could kill them, or us, but that doesn't enter into his brain, which scares the shit out of me. Even if he thinks he's not going to hit them, things could go out of control; accidents happen. And he's taking a bad situation and escalating the danger. Assuming that he did hit someone in this manner, and no one was hurt, our car could be damaged which would screw us over. And what is Mark going to tell the police? I mean, it's one thing to have the right of way, and not see another car coming; it's another thing to tell the cops: "Of course I saw him, but I had the right of way and I had to teach him a lesson.". It's horrible. He said it was just like me to take 'their' side against him. But I wasn't saying that what the other cars are doing is right, but that what Mark has been doing isn't making it better; it's only making it worse and could have devastating consequences for us both. I asked him if he could at least not do this when I'm in the car with him because he's putting my life and well being in jeopardy, but he didn't say he wouldn't; he just asked me if I'd stop stressing him out in the car? Like me telling him not to drive dangerously was a bad thing. Mark is so smart and so sensitive and all these other wonderful things, but sometimes he changes into this child monster, that I've seen a handful of times over the years...and it's scary, but I deal, because I know he's not like that most of time - but when it happens, and he's that other guy, and he's driving a car, that's just not acceptable. I don't want to think about this anymore.
