Friday, work was fine, though I thought I was going to be able to trade in my old movies for the maximum amount of store credit, only to learn that they weren't doing that anymore so I just kept my movies instead; I can get a lot more for them elsewhere. The rest of the work day was mostly good. ;-0)

I got a message from Amber to call her, and did so. She sounded really upset, and a I talked with her for several hours. It was great to hear her voice again, and to listen to all the crazyness that has transpired since last we spoke. Plus I felt like I was getting some bigger puzzle pieces to work with, in relation to all the other people that share our lives. I talked to Mollie soon after, and we're looking into maybe visiting Amber sometime soon.

Amber also revealed that Laurie is indeed moving home to Jonesville, so that she may live rent free, and save more money, so that she can get a house for herself & her girlfriend Amanda; most likely back in Virginia, which means that Laurie's return home isn't permanant. :-0( The whole thing sounds odd, actually. I look forward to hearing Laurie's side of things, and visiting with her, and WATCHING her visit with Mollie - they get along so well, and are so in sync that it's just amazing to watch them interact. Maybe someday Laurie & Amanda (who I'm dying to meet!) will visit Mollie, Kenny, Mark & I in California ;-0)

Patrick didn't call me. I went to the Aut Bar again for a little while, and there was some fun, but also a major letdown that I don't want to type up at the moment. When I drove home, I arrived in the parking lot at the same time as one of my neighbors, who lives across the parking lot from us. I've never really talked to him, just said hello in passing, but he always seemed really friendly. He called me over and asked where I was coming back from, and when I told him, he asked me if I worked there, and then I told him I worked at Hollywood. He went on some rant about he hates Hollywood & Blockbuster and that to find a good movie he has to go to Liberty Street video. I would have agreed with him a year ago, but my store has expanded and now carries more titles than any other video store in Michigan, period. He said he'd been to several places that night, including Grizzly Peak, which I correctly guessed was a "beer place". He asked me to step into the darkened parking area, and kept asking me to talk quieter; I was talking perfectly quiet enough; and I was very sober, as I hadn't had a single drop of alcohol, which I don't think he could claim. I pointed this out and he said he would never drive drunk because he's very smart. He insisted that we talk even quieter and that we could just move closer to each other to hear one another... right. So I asked him how old he was, but he wouldn't tell me; he just kept saying: "How old do I have to be?" and I kept saying it wasn't a matter of him having to be any age, but that I was just curious. I asked him if he was hitting on me, and he started to giggle, and then said goodnight. This guy was seriously messed up. And I lost any interest in him whatsoever when he wouldn't answer my question. It irks me when people won't tell me how old they are. It doesn't matter how old someone is, but it does matter that people guard such information, or if they lie about it, like in a profile where someone lists their age as 502 or some shit like that - it just...it bugs me.

Anyways - that whole encounter was just so odd.

When I got in the house I was shocked to see that JLU was already posted, and I watched that right off. "Divided We Fall" wrapped up the previous 3 episodes in style, and nearly had me in tears. I watched it again with Mark when he woke up, and he later told me that he almost cried during it as well. It dealt with so many different storylines, all of which were handled with a great amount of care, and depth, and emotion. Justice Leauge Unlimited is my current favorite television show, and this episode demonstrated why. And there's still one more episode to go this season ("Epilogue") which, with the amazing season ending feel we had with the newest episode, has me on the edge of my seat wondering what this final episode will mean for the series.

Saturday, I was in some kind of funk. I just didn't feel like myself. And I didn't do much of anything, but that feeling is slowly passing.

I went to gay.com again, briefly to say hello to a friend, and was privated by this cute guy named Justin, who is supposed to call me on Monday. It's been weird for me to admit to guys that I'm looking for a boyfriend, and not just sex. I haven't been this gungho about the boyfriend thing since before I met Mark - so at least a decade. Guys seem to be responding to what I've been saying though. And while I'm super horny, it's been getting a little bit easier to turn down the hottie boys that keep hitting on me for sex.

I work today. It's Father's Day. I called my 2nd Father, Doug & wished him a happy Father's Day, and we talked for awhile which was nice. We used to not get along at all, but we worked it out, which I'll always be grateful for. I hope that he is happy. I don't know how to get in touch with my biological father today; I'll try to see him tomorrow. 13 years ago today was when I cut off the monthly visits that my sister & I had with him. I had started to remember his abuse of us around that time, and I couldn't stand to look at him... There was much drama, threats of violence (from me this time) and a lot of tears. I'm glad that has all passed with time as well. I hope he's happy too.

I haven't heard from Shawn & Jonathan since our visit last Saturday. And we didn't even get to see Shawn that day. It makes me wonder if he was mad that Jonathan called in to work, or if he's upset that we did stuff without him, or what's going on with him. I guess I just wish we had gotten to see him (if only for a minute) to say hello to him. I know that Mollie & Mark really wanted to see him again. Perhaps they will come to visit us in Ann Arbor sometime soon. ;-0)

Ben that I work with, has expressed some interest in Justice League so I'm making copies of the episodes that are available for him; it will be nice to share the series with someone. ;-0) I'm pretty sure I close the store with him tonight. Anyways... I'm gonna get off the computer for awhile.
