I haven't been writing lately. I'm not depressed exactly, so much as I don't care. I just...blah. lol

I saw Serenity on Friday with Karen, Carrie, Mollie, Kenny, Soloman, Janella, Bryan, Robert, Chris & 6 of her coworkers; it rocked. The theater wasn't completely full, but it was probably about 3 quarters full. We all loved the movie; like - everybody in the theater was laughing and crying & clapping - it was fun. I'm taking my sisters (Janice & Jamie) to see it on Wednesday (2:40 show at Showcase). Serenity didn't make as much money as they hoped it would (it came in 2nd overall), but maybe it will be a sleeper hit; in for the long haul over the next several months or something. The movie made me long for more Serenity movies, or better yet - a new Firefly tv series, but if that doesn't happen, at least the movie got made, and it's a much better ending to the saga then what we had before - much more satisfying.

I got an e-mail from Linda Marie the other day; she suggested we go bowling, and I responded, but I haven't gotten a response to my response, so I'm not sure how we're doing there. Perhaps my crazy response frightened her away? I was kind of...rambly.

I'm conflicted about many a thing lately. It sucks. I have a new phone, and may be getting one for Mollie later, per Mark's wacky plans to save us money. I bought Desperate Housewives to share with my friends, who are all hooked on it now too, which is cool.

And I've got to go.

Oh - and today is 9 years since I last turned my arms inside out.

I hung out with Mollie & Mark Tuesday evening; we got Mollie her phone, and we got a card for Shawn's birthday, which is Saturday. I bought the Desperate Houswives game; it looked like CLUE, and it is, but it also has a bunch of trivia from the show so Mark (who isn't interested in it) couldn't play, so we put the game on hold until Mollie, Carrie & Adam can finish watching it.

We played the LOTR Movie Trilogy Trivial Pursuit but I was so tired, and though I was winning (I needed 2 more slices & I think Mollie & Mark had only 2, if that) I thought that I had answered a group play question and had gotten my next to last piece only to find that I apparently hadn't. Mark answered the question, and then when it became an all play question I answered the question "more precisely" - meaning that mine actually matched the answer that was given by the game. Mark & Mollie both pointed out that we had let Mollie's answers slide a couple of times before, but one of those times it was a question to HER & not possible for either of us to answer better, and in the other she guessed something correctly from an image before Mark & I, and though I agreed with her answer - I couldn't remember what the blasted thing was called - so not only did she beat me to figuring out what was changed, her answer was on par with my own, giving her the clear advantage. It pissed me off royaly. I quit the game, but after a few minutes to cool down - and not killing them - I thought I'd rejoin. I was so far ahead of them I figured that my time away would help the game be more even - and my victory would be more exciting, but they had quit too, and just not told me. I tried not to piss anyone off, and just try to regain the fun of the night, which I think I accomplished. Took Mollie home shortly after (with a pitstop at a Walgreen's drive through to pick up a controlled substance); came home and went right to bed.

Wednesday I drove Mark to work, and then went to the post office to drop of some packages (3 or 4 for Mark's business, and 1 for Shawn). I took Janice & Jamie to see the 2:40pm showing of SERENITY at Showcase Cinemas. If anyone reading this hasn't seen it, I strongly reccomend it. It's not doing all that well at the theater; but perhaps it will make up for that overseas, and I'm sure it will kick ass on DVD, as the Firefly DVDs are STILL selling well, and the rental copy at our store is a hot property. Jamie & Janice both enjoyed it, though Janice made really annoying comments through the whole movie, which made me wish that I hadn't brought her. We used to like the same kind of movies, but then she got married, and I came out, and we went our seperate ways entertainment wise. I did get a few good comebacks in though, which I can't express here, for fear of revealing spoilers to the un-initiated.

After the movie we discussed Coleen's betrayal of Jamie - not to mention the man whore who started all this shit. I really don't like them. Jamie seems to have some dim sense of hope that nothing is going on between her best friend & her ex-fiance, but given all the evidence, even she is only hanging on by that thread. It's so sad!!! I just want to burn C & M Bullshit Factory to the ground. Mollie wants to help - this could potentially be fun.

I picked up Mark; we traded in his phone; I flirted with Craig the salesguy; we went home, then Mark went to Meijer to pick up some stuff for me, which he very kindly volunteered to do. Heidi came over & we talked about all sorts of dramtic things. It was really nice; we were in my dimly lit room, listening to relaxing music, just being there for each other on my bed - only not in a sex way. lol It was just a really relaxed, comforting exchange. When Mark got back we all talked for awhile and then went to Red Robin where eating & more conversation ensued; I started getting really tired again, as I've been sleeping at night all week. We headed back to the condo, and we hugged Heidi goodbye; I went right to sleep.

Yesterday I continued reading my Buffy book. It's not a fantastic book, but it's set up as the 8th season of Buffy, which would have crossed over with the 5th season of Angel so the book kind of pays attention to all references to Buffy from that 5th season (which were few and far between, but still), and the book got all that stuff right; I've been rewatching the 5th Season of Angel as well. I finished the book just before going to sleep last night & the ending felt really rushed, and was such a horrible let down, and not what I was hoping for at all! Pretty much all the momentum that had been picked up throughout the book led nowhere, and I guess the writer just wasn't up to the task. It sucked.

I watched the 3rd second season episode of Desperate Housewives; it sucks only watching them one at a time; they seem so short. I watched the new ALIAS with Mark, which was ok I guess; the show is going through this heavy transition, and I'm not sure the show is going to survive it. In my opinion the 1st season of the series kicked ass, and the 2nd season improved on that formula - bringing the series to new heights of coolness. The 3rd season was less successful because of things going wrong behind the scenes (Lena Olin & Gina Torres were unavailable to return), but managed to hold it together; mostly; though a plot hole was revealed to those paying attention, that has never been fixed by the writers which has tainted the show somewhat for this viewer. The 4th Season continued the mixed feeling from season 3, though it eventually improved, with random episodes reminding me why I watched the first 2 seasons, and ending with a bang, except for a line of dialogue that I just didn't accept. The 5th Season has taken care of that line of dialogue, but it has also brought great change to the series, which could possibly 'jump the shark' or it might save it. It's too early to tell. The show is often entertaining, but it's nowhere near as good as any of the Joss Whedon shows have been. whatever.

I've also been continuing to organize my collection of slash art, and seeking out still more, and I think I'm finally getting on top of that. I just had a notion to expand my Trek pages with some info that I'd like to share. Apartment Zero arrived in the mail yesterday; a film I'm proud to have in my collection. I work today, 1-5:30. I have tomorrow off; I most likely close on Sunday, and then...I don't know.

I was in a fantastic mood all day Friday; I don't know why, but I wish I could be like that every damn day!!! Work was so much fun! I worked with DJ, Bryan, Bobby, Scott, Matt, Nate, Heidi, Jeff & Joe. I helped tons of people and met a woman who had seen Serenity & wanted to see Firefly; I talked her into buying Firefly from my webpage, and she turned out to be a fabulous woman named Ruth, who works for UofM and who will soon be creating the GLBT website of UofM's GLBT office! Very cool!

After work I watched more Angel (3 charater deaths and a good meal later I was very sleepy, but didn't want the night to end), got cleaned up and headed to Necto (in black vinyl). I actually hit Aut Bar first but ran into a fag I can't stand (he's cruel to me at every opportunity) so I just told him to fuck off and went to Necto where I ran into so many cool people; both new & old, including the cute boy (who Mark said was straight!?!) who helped me with my phone troubles. He couldn't keep his hands off my cock, but he was beyond drunk so he might not even remember that later - he also asked me if me & my boyfriend would consider having a 3some with him - but I don't have a boyfriend; I assume he meant Mark.

I also saw Pauls there; Holm & Bukowski; B was hot for H. B wants to see Serenity on Tuesday, so maybe we'll go. I met a really hot guy who was hitting on me named J.R. who is a nurse for UofM; I saw James & Quintous(?) and Robert (of course) who said he'll be hosting goth night on Halloween (now I have to go!). I saw Becky, and Matt, and Amy, and Corey, and Jason (who gives great hug), Jason Kaplan, Justin, and bunch of other peeps. It felt good to dance (though the music wasn't all that), and to dance with cute boys who were hot for me.

Too bad phone boy was so drunk though, he was almost falling over on the dance floor so I started walking him over, off the dance floor and to the seats when his friend stopped me; I think that he thought that I meant to take advantage of him, when really I was just worried that he was going to fall on something and get hurt. I left at the same time they did, but I didn't offer my help because his friend obviously didn't want it. I came home, showered and I wrote this.

When I was at work I got a voicemail from Shawn saying that he got his Absolutely Fabulous DVD's and that he loved them and that & he Jonathan would get much pleasure from them. Later Jonathan called me when I was on my lunch and invited me out to visit them on Wednesday, which I have off, so that should be fun. My hours suck again this week. I work Sunday & Thursday. Weird. Anyways - I'm super tired so I'm going to bed.

I slept. But somewhere in there I woke up, took some Prilosec, and watched an episode of Angel before drifting back to sleep. I woke up again to the sound of the shower running, with a bad headache. Mark was leaving to see Serenity. I had changed my mind about going to see it with him, but now with the headache I really had no intention of going. I'm really glad he's going to see it though!!! Not being able to talk to him about it sucked a lot.

I think I might work on my webpage a bit. And I was listening to some tracks from a cd set that I never finished; a project I dropped in favor of the Shawn Foreman one, which will eventually be finished before I die - or Shawn will haunt my afterlife. Just kidding. I don't believe in an afterlife. Anyways; I was thinking that maybe I'd give a copy of the pre-shawn defunct project to Shawn & Jonathan, as it's a shame no one got to hear it; of course it might drive them insane. Actually Bryan & Ben once heard part of it, and Bryan cried and gave me a big hug, but he was really stoned at the time. lol

Alright, I need pain killer and food, and I really don't want to be writing this - but the lack of entries was kind of annoying me, so here it is.
