Monday night I ran into Preston (who I was thinking was 20, but is actually 18), and other friends. I had a blast, but I was tired again. I left early, with Preston in tow. I guessed correctly that Preston was living on the street. I brought him home with me, showered with him, and went to bed. We didn't screw or anything, though he attempted to get stuff going several times, and I almost gave in at least twice. The thing is, I like him, but there's so much going on right now, that I'm afraid of adding anything else to the mix, and I don't want to hurt him, or anyone else, which I tried to express to him. He later told me he had a good time, and that he liked me and that was all good.

Preston actually stayed until after 4pm on Tuesday. I called Michael afterwards to let him know what had happened to me the night before. My new Next Generation book, and my new toy both arrived in the mail. I won't be reading the book until after I've finished the first 4 Titan novels, but I have to read it (and a new Enterprise novel coming out next month) before an upcoming crossover trilogy to be released as the year closes out.

Mollie got in touch with me last night, and she'd watched the finale of Who, and was getting back into Classic Who, with the 3rd & 4th Doctors. It was great to hear from her. She spoke to Mark on the phone, and I was struck by how different our conversations always are. I always talk about distractions, while Mark always asks about the more important issues, that I don't want to discuss with her, and risk upsetting her. I enjoy our conversations, but take great care not to bring up anything that might ruin Mollie's mood.

Bryan & Chris both called me last night, and we're planning on seeing Hellboy 2 tonight, at 7:40pm, at Showcase in Ann Arbor. I haven't been to a movie in 6 months, and the last one was AVP:R, which was beyond terrible. HB2 looks really good though.

I went to Hollywood last night, and gave Mike a BSG / Who disc, and chatted with him about various topics. He's on episode 4 of the new Who, and he loves it, and loves Rose, so that's awesome. It's good to have that, as it seems no one else at work loves the 9th Doctor the way that I did. I think it helps that he knows the actor from HEROES. After Hollywood I stopped at Kroger for BOOST and batteries.

I stopped at Aut Bar to see if Preston was there with his friends, as he'd mentioned he might be, but I didn't see any of them. When I arrived, and when I left (which happened in all of 1 minute), there was a cute boy outside, who commented that I was leaving so quickly. I explained that I'd really only stopped by to see if my friend was there. We flirted, and chatted for about 5 minutes. His name was Shawn / Shaun / Sean; I didn't get the spelling. He had long fingernails, dark skin, and a handsome voice - and he was hot...and 19. What is it with me, and the young ones lately? Anyways, I let him go, and told him I might be back later, if it turned out that my friend was going to be there...only I called Preston when I got home, and he wasn't going to make it to Aut bar, as he was moving stuff out of his parents' place.

After I got off the phone with Preston, I found that he had e-mailed me...telling me all kinds of sweet things, which I responded to, and reaffirmed my stance that while I find him attractive, I'm thinking now isn't the best time for us to be more than friends, and that this isn't based on me not liking him, but on me liking him a lot. Hopefully we can be friends, because I'd like that a lot. He amuses me. He's funny, and cute, and brave. What's not to like?

Star Trek - Titan #01: Taking Wing
(my apologies to Mollie for the large Riker and Counciler Botox imagery)

I read more last night. I'm really enjoying this TITAN book, and all the different aliens and characters. I've defended this book for ages, without ever having read it, as it includes a gay character, who was established in other novels. People bitched a fit about it, and now that I'm reading it I find they were even more off base than I'd first thought; the references so far have been extremely minor, and incredibly sweet. Bitches. Grrr.

I had some trouble sleeping.

Mark woke me up this morning, thinking that I needed the car, but I really don't. I just need it tonight, after he gets out of work, so I can make it to that movie. That's all I have planned for today, really. Tomorrow Corey will be here; we'll probably watch the Who finale. Then Friday I'm going to the fair with my nephews...I think. I don't think that's really been confirmed yet. I'll have to call Janice and see what's going on there.

I just went over my Season 29 page (for Doctor Who) and I think I fixed all the typos.

I think I'm gonna wash my sheets, and clothes and stuff. If I can stay awake. Later.
