So...I didn't go out last night. I made up with Mark, right off, and then took my shower. Didn't want Mark & I to part on bad terms and all that, and we actually had a very relaxing, fun evening. After my shower, Mark joined me to (again) watch "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog", which made Mark laugh a few times, and he said I was cute for downloading the songs. We cuddled while we watched it, then I read a bit, while Mark packed his stuff.

I slept.

I woke up this morning, just when I was supposed to. I got Mark up. We got ready, and hugged, and I drove him to the airport. In case I never mentioned it here before, Mark is going on vaction in Maine, as he has a friend there. I was invited to go, but we can't really afford for both of us to go. Mark offered to blow a bunch of money last night so that I could go, but the truth is...even though my stomach is better now, part of me still can't believe it, and I'm just not ready to travel yet. It honestly scares the hell out of me at this point.

So I miss Mark already, though I got to hug him goodbye at the airport, and I made it home safe & sound, listening to Dr. Horrible the whole way 'there and back again'. I felt sad. Like I'm missing some big party or something, and then I'm worried. Mark & I don't spend time apart that often, and it's weird when we don't see each other for more than day or two. Mark comes back on Tuesday. Erg.

Mark just sent me a text a bit ago saying that he would be boarding soon; then we exchanged some more happy sad lovey kind of texts. We're such an odd pair, Mark & I. Wer're not a couple. We're not boyfriends. We're not lovers. We've been all of those things though...and now we're family. Mark is my family. The family I chose to have.

Ok. Enough worrying.

Ok. So the book pictured above is the one I'm currently reading. So far I'm loving it. It's a direct continuation of the last book I read, which is pictured below...

This series of Trek books, follows Riker & Troi from Next Generation on Riker's new command. Now I've never loved Riker & Troi's never been a favorite either, but their crew of characters are so cool. I didn't enjoy the first volume as much as I hoped, because a lot of it centered around the aftermath of events in "Star Trek: Nemesis", which is a pretty lame Star Trek movie. But other than that I rather enjoyed the read. But the new book I'm reading, is also a sequel to another book I read this year...

...which I loved. So this was a really great surprise! I'm really only at the beginning of the book, but I have high hopes for this one. And...I'll stop rambling about this for now, so I can actually read. lol
