So...I was on time for work on Friday, and I had a good day of it. Michael came in to visit me. Jean Wiggin, who is one of my favorite customers came in, and I gave her a Doctor Who / Sarah Jane disc I'd made for her nearly a month ago. She met Michael and we all got on famously. Michael offered to drive me home so I wouldn't have to wait for Mark, but I didn't have my key to the condo, so we went to Borders to wait for him. I was tempted to buy a new copy of the Crow, and a Buffy book with 3 or 4 pix for my bedroom, but I held myself back on those, and just got the new Doctor Who magazine and a $4 Rocky Horror calendar.

When we got to the Condo, where Mark already was, my phone rang. It was from some guy who said his name was Tom Harris (which made me think of 'Silence of the Lambs' right off - and all but screamed out that I was being prank called), but when I said I didn't know who he was he knew my name, but not where I worked; he thought I worked at a parking garage or something. He said that I'd given him my # and that he wanted to hang out sometime. I told him I didn't know him, that I don't give out my phone #, and asked him never to call me again. He acted shocked, and said he thought we were cool, and I told him we weren't...he told me to fuck off and hung up. It would have been bothersome, except I couldn't stop giggling afterwards. lol

After that madness I just wanted to go to sleep. Michael doesn't usually stay over when I sleep because I have trouble sleeping with him around. It's nothing personal; it just generally takes me a long time to get used to sleeping with other people in my bed. The exceptions being Corey & Jeremy. I don't know what they did to put me at ease, but they did. I wish to Joss that I knew so I could tell people what to do to make it work. lol

I got undressed for bed, and he did the same. I wasn't pissed that he was staying, but I was a little surprised. We got into bed together, but every time I started falling asleep he'd wake me up. He'd move, or make a noise, and he was lying in the center of the bed, instead of on the side, and I knew he must want to cuddle...and I'm cool with cuddling sometimes, but not when I'm sleeping. It's enough for me to sleep in the same bed with someone; constantly touching each other puts me on edge, and makes me cranky. I knew this wasn't his fault though, and I just told him I needed him to sleep on the one side, and then I got some earplugs out...and settled in for my sleep...only he kept bumping me. I thought he was trying to get my attention, but I checked and he was asleep. I was extremely tired, but I knew at this point that I wasn't going to get any sleep. I was exhausted really, and when I'm that tired (or just a little tired actually) I can take things really personally; I get extra cranky; and sometimes I just can't control that...I get so frustrated that I just want to scream. Mark can attest to this. lol. I knew that a lot of what was bothering me, was me being too sensitve about all this nonsense, just because my sleep deprived brain couldn't process it logically.

Then I remembered that he'd once told me that he had a fantasy involving being woken up...sexually. So I figured what the hell; I might as well have some fun if I can't get any sleep. He quickly awkoke...a bit surprised I think, and we had some really great sex...with handcuffs, which is something I'd never done before, but I knew he had some thoughts on bondage, and I decided to take quiet invasion and play it out in a sexual scenario and to make it fantastic, and it worked. It was truly fantastic. ;-0)

Later we showered. We had talked about Firefly at work, and I realized that I hadn't seen the show from the beginning in years. I got the dvds out and went downstairs to watch the pilot episode. Michael appeared to be getting ready to leave; saying that he'd probably stay a little while, but not long as he had to get home and get some sleep. But he didn't leave, and this time, that was a really nice surprise, because I watched him watching the episode, and saw him getting sucked into the genius of Joss and company, and it was so much fun. We're going to watch the rest of the series together.

After he left, I ordered the Special Edition of Serenity (something I'd long put off) and bought the hardcover graphic novel of the comic story set between the series and the film. I'm extremely excited about re-experiencing the series.

And then sweet sleeping oblvion. :-0)

Saturday I slept until I was completely content. Then I got up and finished some laundry; cleaned up the living room, did the dishes, fixed up the kitchen and my bedroom. Then I went to McDonalds. I was gonna get pizza but I'll be getting some tomorrow night, and I didn't want to get it 2 nights in a row, as that can upset my stomach.

When I got home, DJ was there, and Mark was fixing his computer so that he can watch avis and things. Awesome. Now he can see Season 3 of Battlestar - and lots of Doctor Who / Torchwood stuff I have for him. ;-0) I showed him the Imperrial Shuttle in Firefly, and told him about some other cool crossovers I'd discovered. During this, Chris arrived for Torchwood night. DJ didn't stay long, but it was nice little visit.

Chris and I talked a lot. I was sad that Bryan didn't make it over, cause I really wanted to show him my room and all the progress I'd made on it. We watched 3 episodes of Torchwood, just as we'd planned. And it was a really great visit, that left me in a really good mood. Chris has 14 more installments in Season 3 of Who, but she'll probably go through those a lot faster now, as 8 of them she can already watch at home, and 4 others will arrive on dvd this week, allowing her to watch those at home too. She will have to watch the last 2 installments at my house, plus the new Torchwood episodes. She's actually getting a new computer this week, which will allow her to watch the ones that I burn so in the future she'll get things faster. Everything is working out at the moment, and that's cool.

I've been playing video games, snacking, and watching this Russell T Davies interview I downloaded. Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'm sort of tired, so I may sleep soon. I never got around to reading that damned Star Trek book, and I'm fine with that I suppose. I had other stuff to do.

After the last entry, I found out that a new episode of Brothers and Sisters aired last week, without my knowledge, so I got my hands on that, read the new Enterainment Weekly (I know it's lame), where I found out that actor Brad Renfro died on Monday. I only know anything about him, because he's in several inclusive titles on my movie shelf ("Apt Pupil", "Bully", "Confessions of an American Girl" & "Happy Campers"); so hearing he had died wan't overwhelmingly heartbreaking, but it was a little sad. I watched the new Brothers and Sisters & then I went to bed around 6am.

I slept for 6 hours. I dreamed that my room is much as it is now, only larger. And I was living in a house. The mirror doors on my closet extended all the way over the actual door to my room. Someone was moving around outside the door and they shot me. I was bleeding all over, but determined to stay quiet, as I figured they didn't know if I was even inside, as they apparently couldn't get in. Eventually they moved away from the door and starting packing up to leave. I krept over to the door, in terrible pain...bleeding everywhere...and found that somehow the mirrors reflected into each other and off of each other and I could see the person outside my room through somekind of complex mirror magic...to see that the man that shot me was Mark. And I woke up.

The dream didn't haunt me or anything. I knew right away it was a dream, and I didn't freak out or anything. But it's still clear in my head so I figured I'd write it out. No worries.

I work tonight, and then just as last week I have the next 4 days off. Michael had some medical tests done that he'll get the results of tomorrow, so I'm hoping for the best on that one, and tomorrow he'll call me with the results. Then Wednesday I think Christine wants me to go to some goth club in Windsor? Or...did I dream that? lol Torchwood is on Wednesday for sure. And somewhere around Friday, my friend Wendy arrives for a vist. We'll be watching the Doctor Who Christmas Special, and the 2 new Torchwoods. I'm not sure how long she's staying for; she hasn't really given me the details as of yet.

Mark hooked Michael up with a blog on Friday. So far it's looking good. ;-0)

I should check my e-mail. I should read. I should eat...or sleep...or something. lol

I slept after the last entry, which was probably a very good idea. I had a snack before I was early to work...and the night mostly sucked. We were more crowded than usual, and I had to deal with a disturbing number of pissed off, annoying people. There was one bright spot though, where I bonded with this girl about Star Wars stuff. She was polite and clever. A rarity.

I came straight home. It's freezing out. I'm either sleeping or reading.

I didn't sleep or read last night. I beat my video game again. I watched the latest episodes of 'L Word' & 'Ugly Betty'. I watched the latest 'Nip Tuck' before I went to work. I'm, once again all caught up on my tv shows. Then I watched Erin Brockovich and started watching the special features on The Howling, before I finally slept. When I woke up I sent Mark an AIM about a flaw in my blog that Michael pointed out in an e-mail, and then Mark fixed it. I read some Doctor Who news. I read the latest (in the states) Doctor Who Magazine. I finished watching the behind the scenes stuff on The Howling.

My neck has been killing me all day. I took some pain killer and a hot shower and hopefully that will help.

But besides the pain and the average random watchings, I did get some great news today. Michael had been worried that he might have cancer. And his symptoms were disturbingly similar to a man that had dated Mark's mother - only in this guy's case, he'd been dead shortly thereafter, and Michael's tests have come back NEGATIVE!!!! I was so worried for him all week, but didn't want to write too much about it and worry him! This is extremely good news! :-0)

I also chatted with Corey for awhile today. I hadn't heard from him in about a month, and last I spoke to him he wasn't very happy, but he's alive. He's going through some rough times, but he's still alive and funny and...Corey. Which is nice to know.

Michael should be here soon. We're going to watch the 2nd episode of Firefly. I wanted to go to Necto tonight, but now I'm thinking that it wouldn't be good for my painful neck. I'm thinking of burning more discs for Mollie (which I didn't do all weekend) and reading lots of Trek. There is this Star Trek book I'm really looking forward to reading, but there are 5 books inbetween me and that book, and I'd like to get through them as fast as I can. lol. Hopefully I'll enjoy them, because they're important later on.

I might go to Hollywood Video later and buy some pv movies with some coupons I have. I have to do that by Friday. I'm getting "Stardust" & "Evening" for sure, but I might get more than that too.

2 days until new Torchwood & the first Torchwood Declassified. 3 days until the next Declassified episode. And Season 1 should arrive on dvd this week ;-0)

I'm off.

So Michael came over Monday night and we watched "The Train Job" episode of Firefly. It's really great watching it with him, because as I'm re-experiencing the series (which is a joy in itself) I'm seeing him react to it and falling in love with the characters. It's really cool. And I just read somewhere that some magazine has named it the best sci-fi show in history...which I think is probably true. I mean...it's really short, which sucks, but by the same measure, it's perfect, because they never had a chance to have a bad episode, and the movie is perfection so it has this complete feeling but also leaves you wanting more - which is sad and beautiful, and rare. :-0)

After the episode, I was kind of spacey, as I'd taken some painkiller for my neck, which had been bothering me all day. I know we talked for awhile. And eventually made it to my room, but I was so out of it...I just went to sleep. I think he said goodbye and stuff, but I don't really remember, and when I woke up he wasn't there anymore.

I watched the rest of "Evening" which I'd started watching at work Sunday night. I really enjoyed it. It's an interesting film, because it borders on masterpiece territory, but never quite arrives? I think some of the choices made in the production, while brave, maybe didn't come out as foreseen... Or maybe it was just me. I'm not certain. But there are many moments that are better than other moments, which you can see had the potential for real brilliance. It did make me feel though, which is always nice.

I slept. My neck doesn't hurt anymore. I got to talk to Mollie a little while last night too, but I'm not sure what time it was. I ate last night too. But I haven't eaten since, and I need to get groceries.

I called my sister Janice today, and we e-filed my federal tax forms, or started the process at least. She always helps me with my taxes. And she's not bitchy about it; she's always so giving about that kind of thing. I love her. I made less money than I did last year, and will owe the state again, though most likely less than last year.

I found out that Grandma is back at home. I gave her a call and we chatted for awhile. I told Grandma about how Mark & Michael & I are doing. About chatting with Janice and doing my taxes. She's so beautiful and caring and brave.

Anyways...I need to get dressed and go to the bank, the video store, Whole Foods, and Kroger. Maybe the book store too. Maybe they'll have a new Who article or something. New pictures for my walls, which I've taken a break from for about a week.

I still haven't read any of that Trek book. lol. It's kind of becoming a joke. I'm gonna work on my room a bit tonight...or at least plan it out a bit. And hopefully I'll get some reading done too. lol Wish me luck.

I decided that I was going to have a snack and read and wait until after rush hour to go out. I went into Mark's room and told him what I had decided. Then I went downstairs. The kitchen smelled of cleaning products. While I had slept this morning our neighbors and our own kitchen sinks were backed up with sewage? It was all fuzzy in my head because I'd been told about it when I got up to use the restroom before returning to bed. I figured it was all safe now, as 1) Mark had said it was fixed and I couldn't hear the plumber working next door anymore 2) I'd just told Mark that I was going to eat and he didn't say anything 3) The kitchen smelled of cleaning products and I had seen him cleaning when I'd woken up briefly before.

I used the sink to wash the pan I used, and made my food, and ate it while I finally read some of my book. Later I got a call from my friend Chris telling me that Heath Ledger died today! I wondered if he'd finished filming the new Batman movie, and remembered that he looked really creepy as the Joker. It just seemed so crazy. I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. I read about it on CNN.

Then after that, Mark told me not to use the sink as he hadn't cleaned it yet!?! WTF? I had told him hours ago that I was going to eat, and he didn't mention anything like this to me. When I told him I'd already eaten, he said he didn't know why I'd assume that he'd already cleaned up in there.

So Heath Ledger is dead and I may have poisoned myself because Mark couldn't remember to tell me that if I ate anything it could hurt me. Which he should have warned me about right away. And especially after I said that I was going to eat. He's working, but you'd think a potentially dangerous situation would have pulled him out of the zone to just warn me about it. And now he's just kind of writing it off as my own damned fault, and he's not even showing any concern.

I just walked in and asked him about this. And he was still acting like he was pissed off, and not a tiny bit worried about me, which I pointed out. I don't even know what's going on with him right now, but it's not cool.

There was this whole section here where I went on about Mark's good qualities, but I hit the backspace button a few times and the whole blog thing shut down. So...I'm thinking there are still some bugs in this thing. I have this blog thanks to Mark. I wish that I hadn't lost these paragraphs, because I rather liked them and they made me feel slightly better, and then when I lost them I felt worse than before. Fucking computer.

Mark says if I get sick in the next 24 hours or so we'll know why. That's a comfort. Thanks.

Whatever. I'm going shopping.

And I can't believe Brad Renfro & Heath Ledger are dead.

I made it to all the places I needed to go. I've eaten. I'm good. I have a slight headache, but I'm not worried about it; my meds should kill it. I'm going to try burning some discs for Mollie now, and work on finishing that Trek book while I wait it out. I can't use my computer until the discs are done.

My headache is gone. I've finished a disc for Mollie, and downloaded the new Nip/Tuck. I also read a good chunk of my book; I have about 20 pages left; I'll finish that in a few minutes. I couldn't burn a disc while I was getting Nip/Tuck so I ordered some stuff from Amazon that I've been putting off. I got a couple of books that I looked at with Michael at Borders on Friday (both of them are $7.00 cheaper online), another dvd-r 50 pack, and the movie 'Cruising' for my collection.

I think I might do the dishes while I do another disc. Then finish my book, and move on to the next one. Torchwood is on tonight! And my dvd boxed set of the first season should be here today or tomorrow.

:-0)

After the last entry I didn't just do the dishes; I cleaned the kitchen, giving the sink a really intense scrubbing, using this powerful cleaning stuff, and then again and again. Then I started the dishes, intending to wash them 2 or 3 times, just to be sure everything was clean. I came upstairs and told Mark what I done, just in case he was planning on getting up early to do the job himself, and he thanked me and said it sounded like I did a good job.

I tried burning another disc for Mollie but it failed. I think it might have been because I didn't give the computer enough of a break, and it was warm. I figured I read awhile and then give it another try later. I did read. I finished my book; well sort of. The book that I was reading is book 1 of 7, and has a cliffhanger ending. The firs 6 books in the series all have cliffhanger endings, and the ending of each of those 6 books is in the 7th volume; so I've started reading the ending story that finishes off the book I finished reading! lol. And I've only got about 40 pages left in that...

But I was so very tired so I went to sleep around 6:30am, expecting to wake up around noon at the earliest, but instead woke up with Mark in my room...lurking. He was looking for a trash bag. I told him he could turn on my light, and I covered my head with my comforter even though I was sweating from the heat of my room. My room is always warm, but for several days I've felt colder than I usually do, and I've had the heat a bit higher.

Anyways, before Mark woke me up I'd been having this really intense dream about uncovering this alien invasion, that sort of had to do with my book...only it bacame very personal. It's hard to describe. But I wasn't happy about having been woken up so early...but as I drifted back off to sleep (Mark having found a trash back), Mark returned and woke me up again - apparently the thing with the water overflowing happened again. We don't know where it's coming from, and Mark is taking care of it right now. It sucks because I just cleaned all that stuff, and I figured it was mostly behind us, even though the pipes were still making all kinds of weird noises.

Anyways, I'm awake now, but I'm so exhausted...and I have to squint to look at my monitor. I should try to get some more sleep, but I don't know that I can now. :-0(

On a brighter note, I just checked, and my Torchwood Boxed Set should be arriving today. I can then give Chris the discs that she needs and she can finish off most of the season on her own. Then she can come over to watch "Time Crash", "Voyage of the Damned", "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" & "Sleeper". Neat.

I slept a bit. When I woke up another Mollie Doctor Who disc was done. Before I slept Mark discovered that the neighbors had already called the plumber from before 2 times this morning with no results, and had then called a new plumber (who's here right now working things out). Also, Mark found that water is leaking below the kitchen sink through the garbage disposal. He looked that up online, and saw that we need a new one and that they usually only last about 3 years; we've been using ours for about 5 more years than that! Last I heard from Mark he was going to Lowes to get a new one, and calling his dad to see if he could come over after work to help him install it. Hopefully all this will be cleared up today.

Torchwood still isn't here, but will be later today. I finished the actual ending to my Trek book; the one in Volume 7, and I started the next book, which was one I tried to read a few months ago and decided against. lol. I'm so weird.

I've been waking up lately, with "My Country, Tis Of Thee (America)" stuck in my head. What's up with that? See. Weird.

Torchwood is here! I'm watching the Special Features now...which are kind of lame, in that they list all these featurettes which are just remixes of the Torchwood Declassifed episodes, which I already had, and are also included on the final disc, so that part is just annoyingly repetative. The episodes do look fantastic on dvd though, and there are commentaries on each episode, plus outtakes and deleted scenes. If I was the kind of person that kept my dvds in the boxed sets that they come in I'd be pissed right now, as all the plastic pages that hold the discs are cracked and shattered. Thankfully, I don't keep that shit, and the discs are all pristine. Overall, it's a great buy, and I'll enjoy the commentary the next time I run through the series. ;-0)

The next new episode should be available to me in about 6 hours. I think. I hope.

I didn't mention this before, but I finished the 2nd part of my book, and I'm now onto the next one. At least, I don't think I mentioned it before...

On the commentary for the first episode of Torchwood, they again reference the ongoing story of the hand and how important it will be to next season's storyline. Yay! :-0) There were funny informative bits, but I'm gonna stop watching now. I'm getting ready to go back to Lowes with Mark, as the disposal thing he bought is missing a part!?! I'm thinking we can drop off the new Torchwood discs that Chris needs with Bryan who isn't working today and is most likely home - I'll call to check. Also, I need to get the latest Angel comic.

I called Hollywood to see if Bryan was working, but DJ answered. I had a missed call from him yesterday, and it turned out to be about something that I'm not sure I should talk about here. It's not dirty or anything (lol - I wish) but it's kind of a surprise for someone, and I have no clue if they read this thing so...that topic's off limits for now. It's a very sweet thing though. I let him talk to Mark about it and they're still chatting away. I need to talk to DJ acutally, to let him know I need this Sunday off as Wendy will be here this weekend. She'll be leaving about the time I need to work, but I'm thinking I'll probably have slept differently with Wendy here and be kind of...not ready for work. That's my thinking anyways.

After Mark's done talking to DJ, he's gonna call the neighbors to make sure they've fixed the pipes (again) so I can take a shower. That will be nice. lol.

I showered, which was nice. Mark joined me. It was all going good, but then Bryan didn't answer his phone, so I'm thinking he's not home...or he's asleep...so I'm actually going to stay home. That way I can burn more discs for Mollie (well, at least 1 more), and I can continue on with the Trek book. I'm kind of on a roll and I don't want to stop unless I have to. Maybe I can drop the discs off later, or I can drop them off at Hollywood or something; maybe just bring them into work with me on Friday, as Chris still has 5 episodes of Who to watch before she needs the Torchwood episodes.

Mark's back with the part he needed for the new garbage disposal. Mark's father, Roger Adams is here, and we're all getting along which is nice. I've ripped a disc for Mollie, and read the first 80 pages of my next Trek book (go me!), and I'll probably continue you that after I read Michael's new blog posts.

Saw the new Torchwood Declassified. Downloading the new Torchwood. I have about 150 pages left in my book. Mark & his dad are still doing stuff downstairs. All seems right with the world.

Mark says I should write more philosophicle stuff here, instead of just writing down what I've been doing...but maybe I'm not as smart as people think I am. lol. I just write this stuff out as a kind of release, and a record of what I was doing. Every now and again I'll have a moment of clarity, but beyond that I'm usually just kind of lost. And that's ok...I think. lol

I've seen episode 2 of Season 2 of Torchwood and it too was good. It's very, very different than the first episode of the season. I'd read the writers of the series really wanted a nice mix of stories, and so far they seem to have done that quite nicely. With Episode 03 looking as different from 2 as 2 is from 1. Mark said it looks interesting.

I'm tired. But I just ate a short while ago so I shouldn't sleep. I don't trust myself to lay down with my book; I know I'll be out like a light, and regret it later. Maybe I'll play a videogame or something until I'm good to go.

I burnt another disc for Mollie. It's such a long slow process. But it will be worth it in the end I think.

You know how I wasn't supposed to sleep? Well I did. I didn't mean to. I played the video game, but only about an hour. I read more of the book (I'm just over half way through), and then...I woke up, cold, got under the covers and went back to sleep. Woke up about an hour ago...not feeling all that well, but that's passed now I think. We'll see. I might go back to sleep. I might read. I might do many things. lol.

I woke up with that song from the end of 'Stardust' in my head: Rule the World by Take That. I don't know where it came from, as I haven't rewatched the movie since I first saw it...it's just there. lol

I was reading about Heath Ledger online. I didn't go looking for the story, but it's everywhere you go of course. It made me remember seeing Brokeback Mountain in the theater...and then reading the story right after. I reread it last night. Still quiet and powerful. That was my candle for Heath, I guess.

The notorious hate group, the Westboro Baptist Church, is planning on picketing Heath's memorial, (reported on FOX news of course) because he played a gay character? They say that he made it seem ok to be gay, but I think they maybe saw a different movie than I did, because in the movie I saw it told the story of two guys that fell in love, with one of them murdered and the other one ending up alone in a trailer. Phelps and his ilk came to Ann Arbor a few years ago to protest outside the local gay bars; I actually saw him. The people here organized this thing, where people donated money to GLBTQ organizations for every minute that those bastards were here, and then when he left, they announced how much money Phelps had raised for the gays with his presence! They should just do that everywhere he goes; turn him into a gay activist without his consent. Serves him right.

I haven't been feeling that well today.

I'm contemplating a lot of different projects, and I'm not that great of a planner...it takes a lot out of me. lol. I know that makes me sound retarded and maybe I am. I mean...I'm slow. And I'm ok with that.

I want to do more with the collage. I want to do more reading. I want to get a stack of photos scanned (been putting that one off forever!). I want to do many things; it's just a question of managing the time that I have.

Thursday, after the last entry, I showered and dressed, and when Mark got home I went to Borders and bought this photography book that I'd seen there. It was marked $60.00, which was a bargain in it's own right, as the book was out of print and was selling upwards of $200.00 used online - but I also have a 30% off coupon so I only paid $40 something for it! :-0) I went to Hollywood as well and used another coupon to purchase the rest of the movies that I had set aside. There's this movie drawer for Hollywood Video employees to put movies they plan on buying. It's almost always full, and I had taken up a big chunk of that - well, it's clear now (my section anyways).

Thursday night I worked on my collage. I got another large section done, which features a full page ad for Brokeback Mountain, which I'd planned on putting up but never found the right spot. There are other pictures there of other actors in gay roles including Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley, River Phoenix & Keanu Reaves from My Own Private Idaho, Jude Law from Wilde, Tom Hanks from Philadelphia, Will Smith from Six Degrees of Separation, Daniel Day Lewis from My Beautiful Laundrette, plus Johnny Galecki & Ivan Sergei from The Opposite of Sex. It works rather well. Mark later woke up, said it looked amazing and gave me a high five! lol

I finished my Star Trek Voyager book Friday morning, then I reread the Crow, and started a Next Generation book; the first to feature the Klingon crew of the I.K.S. Gorkon. Ironically, the latest installment of that crew's adventures arrived on my doorstep later that day.

Mark left for work. I slept, showered, shaved, and got ready. Mark had this important meeting he couldn't get out of so I asked if someone from work could come get me, but they couldn't until after 3pm. Mark was gonna come get me later, but I started feeling ill, and called in. I slept. I read. I tried to not feel like crap.

Wendy arrived around 8:30pm I think. We watched the Doctor Who Christmas Special, and then went out to get some food. I called Michael and we met him at Necto. I used my VIP Pass to get me and Wendy in for free, then Scott bought us drinks and Keevan let us keep our jackets in the DJ booth, which was really cool, because the ATM was broken and I only had $2 on me. The bar was mostly fun, though we left early.

Wendy went to bed when we got home; Michael and I talked and watched Firefly, and then talked some more. He went home around 5:30am I think. I read for a few hours and then went to sleep. Mark woke me up just under 4 hours later to let me know that Wendy was awake. I showered, and then we watched the 2 latest episodes of Torchwood. There was some randomness after that. Wendy tried calling some of her friends to hang out, but didn't get through to anyone. Mark went to get us all food, while Wendy showered...and that's where we are now.

Michael called earlier and he has a bunch of his affairs in order which is good news.

Last night it was revealed that Sarah Jane will definitely be returning in the 4th Season of Doctor Who! And that they will be making a 24 episode 2nd Season to The Sarah Jane Adventures! :-0)

My stomach is really upset. I'm trying to soldier on, and not curl up and die, which is what everything in my body seems to be telling me to do. lol. I haven't had much to eat in the last 24 hours though. I'll try eating a bit and see if it helps.

My stomach is not happy. And I'm suffering. But what's new?

I had my music playing on random, and this track I mixed for (but never gave to) Shawn Foreman popped up. It made me all nostalgic and I looked through this 'book' that I'd made for us, with all our e-mails in it and stuff. It's cool, though it seems like a completely different life. 8 years since we dated and all so briefly. I wonder how / what / who he's doing now...

Wendy is downstairs watching tv. Mark is in his room, with his door closed. And I'm trying to ignore the fact that parts of my body are on fire.
