Another weekend gone. I'm eating. I have to leave for work soon. I'm thinking of leaving Hollywood. Not sure if it will go anywhere...but it's the first time I've really considered it.

So I didn't have the annual Bald Jason Birthday Bash. I had an ordinary day. But you know what? It was a pretty fucking aswesome ordinary day!!!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to my special ordinary day!
I went to Necto last night, where I got birthday wishes from several peeps in the know. I had fun. I danced. I drank. I laughed. And I got to make out with a boy that I've wanted (and has apparently wanted me) for years. Nice.
Later I met up with Charlie and his friend Elaina at Denny's before going back to their place where we all got wonderfully blazingly stoned! It was fantastic. Very intense, but just hours of laughter, and flirting, and talking. And so layed back. It was so much fun! Such a blast. The effects lasted until just before I needed to drive home to get the car to Mark. I used some cash that a friend sent me from FAR AWAY to on snacks (and then later for some video games) - which isn't the most responsible use of cash, but for an ordinary type birthday treat, it was just right.
I told Mark about my fun. I left messages for Mollie & Jordan. I slept. Extremely well. Wonderful dreams. Woke up feeling very rested around 5pm. I got up, and got dressed. I talked to Mollie. I answered some Happy Birthday messages from friends and co-workers. It was all very relaxed, and very not-over-the-top - but it was nice.
Jordan never got back to me, which sucked. Beyond that everything seemed to go well, and even that probably isn't that big of a deal. He had a flight out of MI tonight, and probably just needed some extra sleep or something.
When Mark got home, we went to Pizza House where we met Michael and Chris, who we'd invited. We had good food and good conversation. The food wasn't sensational, but we made the best of it. Michael and Chris gave me a card from them and other friends, who chipped in to get me a $100.00 gift card from Amazon :-0) VERY COOL. This means I can order some of the dvds I had to cancel on account of my crappy work situation. ;-0)
After we left Pizza House, we went to Pinball Pete's on a whim, which reminded Mark & I of a previous birthday in which Kevin & I played D.D.R. together. It was a nice happy memory, and it was all good.
Later we all made it back to the condo and played 'Apples to Apples' which Mark had given me for my birthday. It was a lot of fun, but I was tired from my pills. I managed to stay awake though...which was made somewhat easier by Michael being there, which kept me horny. lol
Michael and I probably would have hooked up tonight, but he & Chris had travelled together, and I so wouldn't have been awake to drive him home later... We might hook up later. We've talked about the sex thing, and I think we're in a good place about that now. I still need to talk to Jordan though.
Anyways...I'm tired...and my phone is blinking at me. I must have gotten a message while I was typing this all out. Hope it's good news. ;-0)

I slept for as brief as it's possible to sleep and still have an intense dream. I dreamt of Jeremy Merklinger. It's probably not that surprising, as in a discussion the other day, I admitted that he was the last man that I was in love with, which was 2 years ago now. Anyways, in the dream, he was in my room, and he put a cd into my computer. I was in bed, watching this happen...and he listened to something I mixed...and there were tears in his eyes. He turned to me and said thank you, smiled and then left. And that was it. It made me think about finishing a cd I was mixing for him back then, with a new perspective. We'll see. I haven't mixed anything on that scale in years.
I'm so fricking tired, but can't seem to get back to sleep. At least I don't work today.

I didn't get to sleep until after 11am. I woke up around 6:30pm. I had good dreams, though they seemed to get a bit dark towards the end there. Mark got home soon after I woke up, and brought in the mail, which included my birthday card from my grandmother. I was so happy to see that card. Usually I get it just before or on my birthday, and I meant to mention in my birthday entry that I didn't get that card and that it worried me - but apparently I was worrying about nothing. There's a little note inside saying she's sorry for being late...but some people don't even send a card. I hope she's doing well. My grandmother is awesome! :-0)

I just finished reading "Fray", "Tales of the Slayers", and then reread the last 2 issues of Buffy. It's good to have Fray in my life; maybe they could make that into a movie :-0)

I'm rereading / rewatching Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban, and I'm once again struck by how much better the film is than the 2 before it, while the book it's based on is superior to the film version in almost every way! There are a few improvements from book to film, including the way Harry finds out about Black's relationship with his parents (which just makes more sense, and is followed by the stand out acting moment in the film), and the way that Sirius speaks to & hold Remus as he's changing into his werewolf form (which speaks volumes about their love and close friendship - which the movie does little or nothing to support), but it's like the film makers were so in love with the time travel angle that they made this the heart of the film (lots of camera tricks centered around a large clock, and an overbloated, severely altared ending highlighting the time turner), instead of the relationships between Harry and the Marauders, which is clearly at the center of the book. It doesn't help that Wormtail's transformation into human form and then back into rat make absolutely no sense, even within the context of the film. Thankfully, the two films that have since been released in this series fixed almost all of the mistakes of this entry, while also improving as films in their own rights - better films and better adaptations. While I recommend the Potter books and films to friends, for those that had planned on skipping the books, I highly recommend reading chapters 17-22 of this book (after seeing the film), as the information given is so important, and so different than the film as to be essential.

I can't sleep. It's just as well I suppose, as I've got to drive Mark to work in about an hour. I've got my work clothes in the dryer, and I'm just trying to get everything ready for work later so I won't have to think about it later when I'm exhausted and just want to sleep. I can't wait until I get home from work so I can pass out. Blah. lol
I saw a trailer of the 3rd Season of Heroes. I want to watch it. Perhaps I'll rewatch Season 1 and finish Season 2, before the season begins after all? I don't know. It depends on if we get Season 2 in to rent at work. I think we probably will.

I got Mark up for work early, just so he could be on time, as he's usually late. I was hoping to get him there, and get back so I could get some sleep before work. I felt like I was getting a headache, but I was hoping it was a minor one and took some motrin. We were on the expressway when we ran into a traffic jam. There was an overturned semi plus cops and firemen. It took a long while to get where we were going, and then I had to take the long way home, even though it was probably a lot shorter time wise than any other way, as the normal roads that aren't the expressway are under construction. And now my head is killing me. Ugh. So far today isn't all that great. I'm counting on getting major sleep tonight - which is my light at the end of a very dismal tunnel.

Woke up for work, after an hour of sleep - I'd shaved before hand; laid out my clothes and bag and stuff. I'd driven Mark to work so I could have the car. Got a call from Bryan asking if I wanted to take the day off, or at the very least come in later. My food was in the oven, so I couldn't just go back to sleep...but my pill will make me tired... I told Bryan all the prep I'd made, but that I was exhausted...and that I wanted to work with Pat, who comes in at 4pm, and that I'd have to go out that way to pick up Mark anyways, so I'm going in at 4:30 to work for an hour, which will let me sleep a bit more, and work, and see Pat and everybody. My food was good. Going back to bed now. ;-0)
And though I'm not holding my breath, it looks like Mollie might actually enjoy an Underworld movie, as this new one is centered squarly on the shoulders of her favorite character from the first film, which she despised.

The one movie I was excited to see this year, is no longer coming out this year. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been moved from it's November 21st release date (2008), to July 12, 2009. You can read all the reasons for that here, and while they all make sense, it doesn't change the fact that the movie I wanted to see in 3 months, is now the movie I want to see...in 11 months. Ugh. :-0(

Work on Friday was fun, though I was tired. I didn't have to pick up Mark after work as he was playing Poker, and he said he'd try to get a ride home. I went home and went to bed. Woke up with my computer blaring an mp3, as Mark needed a ride, and my ringer was off - he hacked into my computer and woke me up. I was having a nightmare, and I hadn't slept very long so I was really grouchy and confused. It took me awhile to get ready and pick him up. We had to get gas on the way home. We played some Soul Calibur IV when we got home. I was so tired but found it nearly impossible to sleep. Eventually I fell asleep on my bed, with my clothes on.
I woke up at about 7:30am - from a dream in which my older sister gave birth to an alien baby, which I cared for. I worked on some projects for some friends, which took me far longer than I expected. Then I was able to sleep, far better.
Everything from this point on kind of sucks.
I woke up around 7:30, checked to see when Staples closed, and tried to get Mark to go with me, as he's supposed to have this account on which there should be $60.00 in credits for ink we returned, only he told me at the last second that he wasn't going, which pissed me off beyond the telling of it.
I ended up going by myself. I bought all the tape they had, plus all the ink that I needed. Then I went to Kroger where I got a disturbing amount of cinnimon rolls as I've fallen in love with them.
When I got home, Mark explained that he cancelled one of our credit cards, and had ordered new ones from the company. I tried to activate mine, and they wouldn't let me. Mark tried to do it, only they asked him all these memory questions, which Mark can't answer, so he asked to cancel the card instead - only they couldn't because the department that does that was closed. Ugh.
I'm going to clean the condo now. I've been bagging the trash up for like a month, and figured it was Mark's turn, so I've waited, and waited. Only he hasn't done it. There's so much trash piled up in and around the trash can that you can't even see it anymore. Well...I've reached my limit and now I get to deal with all the shit that I just assumed I wouldn't have to. It will make me feel better once it's done though. I've been doing most of the dishes too...which are piling up. And the laundry...which is piling up. It was maybe better when I didn't do these things and they weren't expected of me.
And I need to clip my fingernails. I look like one those scary 'lesbians' from girl on girl porn with the fingernails that are like 20 feet long, yet can still finger themselves without looking like they've just had an abortion...which always just frightened me. lol
I'm not in a good mood. I want to work on my room. Want to have as much of it done as I can get done with what I have now, which probably isn't much really - but still. We'll see if I can get to it. Michael was going to come over tonight, but now I'm not sure I can see people I'm so grouchy. Blah.

I did the trash; the dishes; scrubbed the kitchen counters; sorted the recycle bins; tidyed my room; and now I'm waiting for the dishes to be done so I can have a meal. I'm feeling rather odd. I haven't really had anything but candy in over 24 hours. Food will be good. ;-0)
