Bald Jason's Musings
Monday, April 23, 2007
I didn't get much sleep Friday morning. A lot of that was my fault, lol. But there were other factors. When I did finally lay down and start reading, as I often do before falling asleep, I got a call from Corey, who was extremely tired, and driving home from a party. I stayed on the phone with him, so that he wouldn't fall asleep and die. He said the party was kind of a bust, with lots of drama, including some guy calling him a whore, and then asking Corey to cuddle with him. And when Corey finally made it home, he found his ex-bf & current roomie had a boy over, which is against their rules of home brand conduct. So... lots of drama there. I think I ended up getting 3 hours sleep.
Sometime last week; possibly Friday morning, I started in on Harry Potter 4 again. I had given reading a break for about 3 weeks, but I'm back to the constant reading thing, and I love it. It kind of sucks though, because I'd like to just go on reading Harry Potter, but I only have 2 more books after this one (which I'll surely finish within the next 48 hours), and there are just under 3 months until the final book is released. erg.
Work on Friday was fun, but I was exhausted. I did get to work with DJ for a while though, and that was great, as I hadn't seen him in a while. I also so Chris, when she came to pick up Bryan. I went to McDonalds, but not because I was craving anything from there; just to see Robert at work. He looks extra young in those uniforms, which amused me.
After work, picked up Mark, and came straight home to do some cleaning, and then shave/shower. Wendy was a little late getting to the condo which was fine. We chatted awhile, and then watched the 3 most recent Doctor Who episodes. She also watched a Confidential episode, and then the pilot episode for the Sarah Jane Adventures. While she was watching those; I was getting ready to go to Necto.
When we got to Necto, after a trip to the ATM, I got us in for free, and we ran into my ex-bf Paul from Staples, and his boyfriend who had just turned 18 on Friday, and could therefor go to the club. Wendy worked at Staples with Paul, so she knos him too. Paul and his boyfriend were cute together, and we enjoyed chatting with them. I also ran into my ex-bf Franklin, who met Paul as well. Franklin insisted he needed to talk to me, and that we'd talk later. All through the night people told me Franklin was looking for me.
I got to see Robert which was glorious, as always. He gave me a shout out at the end of the night, though I think Wendy was the only person to notice this. lol He usually uses my last night, and nobody at the bar knows it. lol Bobby Mushroe and a bunch of Wendy's other friends, including the cunt who insists that I'm creepy (behind my back, no less) were all there. Wendy spent some time with them, while I wandered. I saw Scott, and Keevan; I met a circle of Keevan's Friends: Ryan, Michael, Justin, and there may have been another Michael in there, or a Jason. lol I was tipsy at that point, as Wendy and I had 3 Cream Bombs. I made sure I gave eveyone hugs though.
Franklin did eventually talk to me, though he was really strung out. He told me that he dumped the boyfriend I met last time I saw him. He said that he broke up with him in December as a Christmas present to himself, and that he's getting his shit together. He's moving to Belleville to live with his mother; says that she needs him. He said that he misses me, and that this was really important. And that he'd like to hang out sometime in the future. The way he said this stuff, it sounded like it was hard for him to tell me, but he's actually said this everytime I've seen him. Then he says he'll call the next day, and he doesn't. I called him on it this time. And of course, he didn't call. And I wasn't surprised or hurt or anything.
I met this guy online on Thursday or Friday or something. His name was Bryan, and we had the same middle name. He was really nice to me, and really bummed that I'm 'dating' someone. I told him we could hang out and stuff, and just get to know each other, and then he disappeared. I tracked him down, online on Saturday, and he called me, but then he turned out to be a major asshole. He freaked out when he heard about my webpage being 'gothboy' and was extra judgmental, when he doesn't even know me!?! I haven't experienced that kind of ignorance in years. Seriously. I don't even want to repeat here some of the horrible things he said. He also told me stories about kids that he teaches (he teaches preschool), and I hope he was lying in some vain hope of impressing me, because the stories just made me glad that I don't have relatives being taught by him. Then, when found a picture of Franklin on my website, he told me that he had tried to date Franklin, and then started talking shit about him. All combined, it was like 3 strikes and he was out. Ew. I asked him if I could call him back, while I took a breather, as I was really pissed. When I called him back, he was more pissy then before, and trying to chat up a 'friend' on gay.com, who was ignoring him (I wonder why?) - to get a ride to Backstreet. I told him he was rude; that he was a dick, and that I really didn't want to spend any time with him. And that was that.
I chatted with this guy Jason, whom I tried to date a few months ago, back in January. He had some major self image issues that made it impossible for us to continue, and I called it quits. Anyways, he sent me a message, and I messaged him back, and it went on that way for a few hours. It was nice, and we got to chat about stuff, and I hope we can be friends. We had a lot of stuff in common that a lot of my friends are known for, so that could rock.
I thought about calling Corey, but I didn't want to bother him. We chatted on Yahoo a bit after that, and he said that I never bother him. We miss each other. We're looking forward to hanging out this week (Wednesday & Thursday). And I told him that as I get to know the other men that like me, and I find out how insane they are (referring to Bryan), they really force me to appreciate Corey on a new level. He thought that was sweet.
I stayed in Saturday night. I played more Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which I'm about half done with on the hardest setting. I read Harry Potter. I talked to Mollie on the phone, and watched the new Doctor Who with Mark. It was a good night.
Sunday I listened to a lot of music. Read a lot of Harry Potter. Went to work, which was kind of busy with returns and stuff. Mangaged to slice my fingertips open twice, and I hurt my back, somehow. At least I'm hoping I hurt my back. If I didn't, then it might be a sign that I'm having a kidney stone, which would suck beyond the telling of it around now. I'm drinking TONS of water & cranberry juice as a precaution. I also went to Little Caesars, where the guy I flirt with complimented me on my gray leopard print jacket. So gay. lol
I went grocery shopping after work, and also got Mark some flowers, a card, and some wrapping paper for his birthday presents; today is his birthday; he's 36, so if you see him, please tell him happy birthday. The Mark supplies were more expensive than expected, and I spent most of my grocery money on him. Oh well; easy come, easy go.
When I got home, I put away the groceries I got; most of it liquids to deal with my kidney stone fear. lol Then I read my e-mail, and dived back into Harry Potter. I read about 200 pages, and chatted with Mollie on the phone. She's back to watching Buffy, and she's jamming through seasons. On Friday she was at the end of Season 2, and she's now at the end of Season 4, which she says is her current favorite, as it's the only one to make her cry ("New Moon Rising" - when Willow says goodbye to Oz). Some of the episodes; she hasn't seen in years, so she's having a lot of fun, but they don't have ANGEL, so she's seeing all the crossover episodes, soley from Buffy's perspective, and it's weird for her, which I can understand. I wish I could loan her all of ANGEL, but even if I did, at the rate she's going, she'll be done with Buffy before I could get it to her! lol
Just before Mollie called me, I watched the new International Trailer for Harry Potter 5, and the movie looks awesome! I'm really excited about it now. I told Mollie all about it as well. The trailer that I saw wasn't very good quality wise, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again in hi-def. Hopefully we'll find that soon!
Spider-Man 3 opens a week from this Friday.
I passed out this morning after having read a disturbing amount of Harry Potter; I have about 160 pages left I think. Mark came in before work and asked if the flowers were for him, and thanked me. I need to wrap his presents now, and maybe read some more Harry Potter. Or maybe just chill. I don't know. I really just woke up a short time ago, and maybe I'll just read the news or something.

I gave Mark his presents and he enjoyed them, and thanked me for getting him gifts, and helping him out lately. He said that I've made his life a lot more enjoyable of late. I've been cleaning the kitchen regularly, and I helped him move back into his room, and helped him with Bitserve. He said that I've helped lower his stress. That felt good to hear.
Mark wanted to go to Red Robin for his birthday, so off we went. Bill Saunders was there and eventually joined us. Mark likes talking to Bill, and we had a good time. When we got home, I called Corey, as I said I would, and we chatted briefly. He's exhausted, and this week is going to be busy. Hopefully he'll survive, and we'll have fun when he visits on Wednesday.
I'm kind of sleepy. I'm kind of horny. I'm kind of thirsty. I'm kind of tired of writing.

I haven't read any Harry Potter tonight. My acid is kind of out of control, which doesn't really make much sense. I've been watching movie trailers. "Evening" looks good. The new Halloween remake looks like it has potential. Die Hard IV looks way better than I ever thought it could, and actually makes me want to see the first 3. I've seen most of part 1, all of 2, and none of 3. This year seems like the year of big movies. Hopefully some of them will be great. The new Bourne movie looks good, and I'm extra excited about it now that I know the director is back from the last one.
I exchanged some e-mails with this guy I met the 2nd time I saw Kristopher. At least I think that's where I met him. Friends are good. Oh, and I got an e-mail from some guy who asked if I met him Friday night at Necto, and I honestly don't know if I did or not. I wonder how he tracked me down though? He contacted me through my myspace page. Weird. Seems nice enough though.
Blah. I'm tired, but laying down could be painful about now. Oh well.
Mark seemed to enjoy his birthday. That's all I wanted for yesterday. Maybe I'll get some reading done after all.

I finished reading Harry Potter 4 last night. I'll probably read the fifth book sooner, rather than later. It's probably best that I don't read it just before seeing the film, so I'm planning on starting that one, and then delaying the reading of book 6, which is fine, as that book has been described by the author as Part I of a 2 part finale.
I watched Happy Feet with Mark last night. It was enjoyable, though very odd. Corey called me during the movie, and we talked about him coming over today. I reminded him that he should return my Doctor Who dvds that he borrowed last time, as Bill wants to borrow them. Also...I only just got them (after paying an annoying amout of cash for them), and haven't had a chance to enjoy them yet myself. Corey said that it was really good that I'd reminded him, as he'd have forgotten. But then he couldn't find them. He said he'd call me back.
I went to bed around 6am. I woke up around 1:30pm. There were text messages, yahoo messenger messages, and a voicemail from Corey saying that he couldn't find the discs and that instead of coming over as we'd planned he's going to go home and raise hell until he finds them. His roomies apparently moved all his stuff, and he's really pissed off about this. He wants to get it sorted, I'm sure. It's just very disappointing, as I've been looking forward to this all week. And now, I'm not seeing Corey this week, and my plans have all kind of gone to shit, and I've got that weird worry feeling about the dvds... And I'm left feeling kind of shell shocked, as this isn't what I expected to experience waking up today.
I was going to clean today, and find out if we could go to a friend's art show. That show ends on Saturday, so we definitely won't be seeing it together now. I suck at making plans, but I was hoping things would be different this time. Oh well. I told Corey once that I didn't like to plan things because they always fell apart and then I was disappointed, but he said he likes to have a plan...maybe this will demonstrate my point of view?
Oh. Whatever. This is stupid. lol
Mollie left me a message today, saying she'd be cashing the check I sent her after all, for rent. I'm glad it's coming in useful to her, but worried that she had to use it for rent. That can only mean trouble. I called her to assure her that the check would go through, and asked if she was ok. She said that she was, but said goodbye right after that...leaving me worried.
Disappointment & worry; that's what today has been.
But enough. I'm going to eat. And then I'm going to clean. And shave & shower. Or maybe not shave... Maybe I'll rent some porn tonight. It's been far too long. lol I don't know. Maybe I'll just do lots of random things. It doesn't look very nice out though. Oh well.
I'll just keep passing those open windows.

Wednesday & Thursday were mostly let downs. Pretty much everything I planned for those days, even in the short term, were spoiled by one thing or another. Plus, Mollie had a bad couple of days, as did Mark, and Wendy got sick. I did manage to keep a smile on my face through most of that; kept rollling with the punches as it were, and I watched Happy Feet, Die Hard, and the start of Casino Royale in there...only to wake up today with the flu, or flu like symptoms. I ache all over... and I'll be dehydrated rather quickly if I don't get some of this water to stay down. I think I might be running a fever; I can't get comfortable. I was supposed to drive Mark to work this morning, but that's not going to happen now. I only just woke up around 30 minutes ago; if my symptoms don't disolve before 9:30 I'll call into work. It's not worth leaving the house feeling like this.
Yep. Having a great week.

I was so sick yesterday morning. The perfect ending to the perfectly awful week. I didn't even realize I had a fever until hours later when it finally broke. I just knew I was sick, and not comfortable. I couldn't lay down, or watch a movie or read. It was just...not fun. I didn't go into work. I couldn't find my phone and was freaking out, but then I contacted Mark online who'd seen me before leaving for work, and he called in for me. Matt was working and said he'd take care of things. That bummed me out too, because I don't work with Matt that often, and he's fun. lol
Anyways...the day was mostly horrible. I chatted with some new people online after the fever broke. I think I made some new friends: Dean & Andrew. Friends are good.
Thursday night, I left Corey this long rambly message...the way that I do. And he left me one on Friday. It made me smile. He had a terrible day too, though I don't know what happened with him. He's planning on coming over Sunday night.
I had a dream that my father was here. And he was just sitting in my room. I walked up to him, and kneeled down...and I put my hands on his face and he started crying. I don't know what this means, but it stirred up lots of feelings. I updated my myspace profile with the new Tori song: Father's Son and put up one of the pictures of me & my dad. I also looked at the page that I made for him, which kind of impressed me, as I don't remember updating it. I think it kind of rocks.
