Ok. This entry is mostly about this new guy I'm seeing. I've mentioned him before. His name is Michael Glen Slaughter (not to be confused with recent ex-bf Michael Eisinger). He likes to be called Collin, but since I've always thought the name Michael is sexy, he lets me call him that. He's 36; he'll be 37 in June, but he looks a lot younger than that (not that he would have to; he just does). He looks amazing actually. I thought he looked cute in his pictures, but when I met him in person he was so much cuter. Mark, who had also seen his pictures, said the same thing. He's sweet, thoughtful, funny, giving, and aside from all those wonderful things...he's also quite the sex god; not only is he really good in bed, but he sports a constant hardon (I'm not even kidding) - and he's NOT small.

I've been talking online with Michael for about 2 weeks. We had planned on a date for Saturday (April 4, yesterday), but he said he wanted to see me sooner and he took me out to eat Tuesday night. I've already covered this before, but it all went really well. We got along great. We slept together, which was also great, though I had some odd emotions tied into it that I sorted out later. During this visit Michael invited me to join him and his friend Melissa for a trip to Necto on the 10th; he also wanted to see me again on Saturday, and was talking about maybe inviting me on a trip up north with him and his friends.

Now let me say that I've shared stuff with Michael that has in the past freaked out a lot of potential boyfriends (such as the contents of my webpage, my medical bs, stories about my past, etc) and he's taken everything in stride. He actually seems to find most of it cute, which I'm not used to. He's a perfect gentleman...who at times seems older than me - and then completely ageless. It's extremely refreshing, and all together unexpected.

We talked on the phone and texted Wenesday-Friday. Actually, it's a really good thing that I have my pretty new RANT phone, as I'm texting all the time lately, and he's a big part of that. Michael wanted to know if I could hang out Friday night as well as on Saturday. My ex-bf Paul & I had been trying to find a time all week to hang out but nothing was working and the last resort was Friday night. I told Michael that I'd think about it. And Friday morning I just knew. I wanted to see Michael. I called and told him this, which made him very happy. I also rearranged my plans with Paul which was no big deal.

Friday I slept. When I woke I called Michael and he came over; he dressed up for me, and it was so great to see him again. We went to Little Caesars for the Crazy Bread I'm so in love with lately (I paid for our bread; he bought me a soda - I'm so not used to dates paying for anything), and that was all good fun, with the eating and the chatting, and the Little Caesars people there. It was nice.

Then I showed him the Hollywood Video that I worked at, before we went to Necto. We got a really great parking space out front, then I got us in for free; introduced Michael to Keevan, who watched our coats for us, then introduced Michael to everyone that I could, while showing him off (he's so hot). We got drinks (from Becky - who I didn't think to introduce him to). I introduced him to Doug (who's got an interesting look going on right now), who drank one of my 3 cream bombs. I introduced him to Leon & Scott. I was sad that Calvin from HARC wasn't there. We danced, which was nice. We left fairly early for Aut Bar.

Calvin from HARC was at Aut Bar. So was Tracy (a guy I went out with a few times back in 2006) - and his former roomie Shane. Gino was there. Redcloud was there but I didn't get to talk to him before he left. We met T, Josh, Otto, Butler...and assorted other peeps. It was all good. Then we went back to my place.

We cuddled. And showered. And screwed. And cuddled. Talking all the while. Michael told me that his friend Melissa wanted him to invite me to see Stomp; I told him I'd think about it. Michael went to sleep and I worked on some Trek stuff, which I'll discuss after all the Michael stuff. Michael was so cute while he was sleeping. He eventually woke up while I was reading the news, and he pulled me into bed. I was so content, holding Michael in my arms. He said this made him happy too. We were snuggled up so nicely.

Later, when Michael was more awake, we fooled around some more. I hadn't cum the night the first time around, but he made sure I did the 2nd time, which a lot of guys wouldn't have done - and it touched me that he wanted me too. It was nice. Michael had to leave though, which sucked. He left, I took a shower and talked to Mark about random stuff before I went back to trading messaged on the Trek forums - and texts with Michael. He asked me to call him when I woke up.

I slept really well. I woke up in the evening. I called Michael. He was hanging out with his friends Melissa, Mark & Dan. He let me go so he wouldn't be rude. As soon as I was off the phone with him I missed him terribly. I went to text him that, and he'd already texted me telling me he missed me and that his friends wished that he'd brought me. I was about to text him asking for directions, if that was ok, when he asked if I wanted them to come get him and I said sure. I got ready (changing my clothes several times) and let Mark know I was going.

Michael & his friend Dan arrived to pick me up. I was nervous about meeting Michael's friends. Sometimes when meeting friends of a boyfriend or lover there's drama or a clash of somekind and there was none of that going on which was a relief. When we made to Dan & Mark's house I was welcomed in, and made to feel at home. Melissa was so cute, and Dan & Mark make such a fun couple. We drank and talked. We played Wii Bowling, which was fun even though I came in last each game (I improved on my score every game though). We played euchre. Michael and I lost the first two games but beat Dan & Mark the final one (Melissa likes to watch). We were listening to a great mix the whole time, and at one point U2 came on, and I said "I LOVE U2", which made everyone look at me funny, as they thought I was saying to Michael "I love You Too" - Michael looked like he was going to have a heart attack. I quickly explained what I meant and that was funny. Later during euchre I made a great play and Michael said he loved me, then I did something else and he said he loved me even more. I pointed this out and he blushed and said that wasn't what he meant.

Melissa is adorable. She's in love with this ex-gf of hers, and the ex is involved with someone else, and Melissa is helping her through this, even though she wants the girl for herself. She's a good friend and I so respect her for that. Plus she's funny, and cute, and she gives good hugs. She told me tonight about how the Stomp thing wasn't happening now as the tickets were outragious. There was talk of musicals, which Mark hates (as does my Mark).

Dan & Mark are cute together and you can see they really love each other; they've been together for years. They have 2 dogs and are dog-sitting 2 others - all of which are cute. Winston was my favorite. Dan is 32 and I think Mark is 38? I can't remember. But I pointed out while we were there that we all look really young. And I felt young hanging out with them.

We left Dan & Mark's house around 4am I think, though I could be wrong. It was after 3am. We stopped at a gas station so I could get some snacks as I'd not eaten since Michael was asleep at my place, at least 14 hours before. Then we went to Michael & Melissa's house. They have cats, so they were careful not to keep me there too long, but I got to see Michael's room, which is adorned with weapons (he likes weapons but not guns; he has weapons from Xena, Batman, X-Men and more). He's also got a lot of dvds, especially tv shows, many of which we have in common. He's a really big Xena fan, which is cool.

Aside from Melissa, Michael also lives with 2 other guys. One's name I never remember unless it's mentioned. The other is Scott, who's 38 and an ex-bf of Michael's. One of them reads (or is reading a) Velgarth book. It's actually cool that Michael lives with an ex, as this means he understands me living with Mark. It's also cool (if sad) that his living situation with Scott is kind of shitty (it sounds) as it makes my living with Mark even more understandable, and nice by comparison. Selfish of me, I know. I don't mean it to be though. I didn't meet the other 2 roomies though as they're both out of town. Scott is apparently in Toledo with a guy he met on line named Antonio?

Michael and Melissa then drove me home. I loved hanging out with them, but it's nice to have some alone time to collect my thoughts. Though, part of me wishes I was back in Michael's bed at his place, holding him the way I did in my bed last night.

As I was writing this there was a lengthy exchange of texts. The short version is that Michael and I really like each other; our feelings are intense. And we both acknowledge this. It might just be infatuation, and only time will tell if these feelings are real, but we're talking about them, and it's really great. No matter what happens, I've told him I'm grateful for the time we've shared together, because he's really made me happy.

Michael likes it when I scratch his back. And when I hold his hand in public, or when I kiss him. I think his friends liked me, but I can't be sure. They seemed to like me though. Mark gets along with him fine so far. So far everything is going fine.

Michael told me tonight that while we aren't a couple or boyfriends, that he kind of feels like we are and he's not interested in anyone else and that he can't stop thinking about me. It's sad that I've been hurt so much, by so many men, that I can't easily trust his intentions or his words. It's very sad. But they're nice to hear, and I'm taking the simple joy of hearing those words, and spending time with him, and I'm taking all that to heart. Because I'll have the memory of that even if everything else falls apart. I don't want it to fall apart, but experience tells me that it's likely. Even if part of me dreams that it won't. This is nice.

Oh. The Star Trek thing. I'm working on this section of my webpage devoted to LGBT inclusive Trek in the series, novels, comics, games - everything I can think of. Well in the Trek Forum I've been going to I opened a thread asking for help, and I got a lot of really cool responses and messages about it, which I've been checking up on over the weekend. That's been another really cool thing.

And Robotech continues to amuse.

And I'm hearing exciting things about the Christmas Who Specials! I want them now!

I miss Michael.
