I did end up shaving and getting ready and going to the store for Mark yesterday. I bought flowers and a card for Michael. When I got home I was ready to leave again, but I was hungry. My stomach has been bothering me lately so I made sure that I took one of my stomach pills (which I've not been taking lately, per a doctor's request to limit my intake) and it worked, but it also had the old side effect of making me extremely tired. I texted Michael that I was taking a nap and I'd call him when I woke up. I slept from around 7pm to 2:30am. I remember Mark trying to wake me up around 11pm but it just didn't work. I called Michael and we talked; he hadn't really slept as he had told me he was going too, and so I insisted that he sleep, and that I'd call him when I was ready to come over - figuring I'd call around 8am.

Since then I've watched the new Doctor Who Special "Planet of the Dead" which I liked quite a lot. It's silly and fun and cool and had lots of nice touches that I enjoyed. I can't believe we only have 3 more hours with the 10th Doctor. :-0(

I took another nap (not as long, obviously). I had a snack at 7am. Now I'm waiting to make sure that stays down, and if so I'll get ready and go visit Michael, assuming he's gotten some sleep.

Finally, here's a piece of an interview with Russell T. Davies (creater of Queer As Folk, and the head writer behind the new Who who is leaving along with David Tennant just 3 Specials from now):

--------------------

If I was working on series five of Doctor Who, I would bring back Michelle Ryan at the drop of a hat. I think she's absolutely glorious. But I doubt that he will - he doesn't need to pick up old characters of mine, although he might bring back some old monsters. He's just brilliant at creating stuff, and needs to make it absolutely his.

Is there anything you can tell us about your last episode yet?

People already know that Bernard Cribbins is back. He's in it as a proper companion, for the full two episodes. And to have the Doctor with Wilfred at his side is one of my best decisions, ever. I'm so pleased with it - it's just lovely.

And there's those paparazzi shots of what looks like John Simm - is it him?

Maybe. It's not quite as easy to guess what's happening as you think - there's nightmare sequences, and layers of fantasy, because the Doctor's coming to the end of his time. It's quite interesting to watch things being filmed, and think: 'Oh, I can see what that would look like...'

You've had him save the Earth, the universe, the multiverse... how do you provide a fitting send-off for David's Doctor?

Don't worry. I have.

I knew I'd write David's last episode one day, so I've had this tucked away. You do think: 'How can the stakes get bigger?' And they do. They really do. I don't mean just in terms of spectacle, but in terms of how personal it gets for him. It's such an honour to write for that man, and I really mean that. He's the loveliest man. SUCH a good actor. When it comes to the last episode, there is no way I would let him down.

About an hour after my last entry (on Easter Sunday) I was in the car on my way to Michael's house in Taylor Michigan. I got lost only once, and it was my own fault. I'd written down that his street was on the right, but it was on the left. We went to breakfast at Denny's though I'd already slept. It was nice being out and about with him; he looked extra hot, in a cool red & black leather jacket. Just seeing him smile and blush is an amazing high for me. Our waitress was Irish, and friendly. The girl who sat us looked tired, but I liked her hair. The boy that rang us up was named Clifford and I flirted with him a bit (never having met a boy named Clifford before), but it was all in good fun. Not being able to kiss Michael was driving me bonkers!!!

On the way back to Michael's house we talked about going shopping or getting a hotel, but we hung out at his place. Scott was awake and we actually got along. It was nice. Melissa got up later and we played Wii Bowling. Scott and Melissa left for an overnight visit with Scott's boyfriend Antonio (who I've apparently talked with online?). Michael and I made out, without kissing. lol. We're trying to wait to see if I have mono or not; I'm getting tested today.

I played Wii baseball and tennis. It was fun. We played in Michael's bedroom. Then decided we'd come back to Ann Arbor, driving separately so that Mark would have the car to go to work. The drive was nice. He really doesn't live that far away.

I changed my clothes when we got home; I can never make up my mind. lol. We went to my grandmother's and that was all good, though I found it oddly exhausting. My grandmother and I had a moment where we might have had a much more serious discussion, which is rare for us - but I didn't want to upset Michael so I put it off for a later time. It's not that I'm upset with my Grandma, but there's a point that I don't think I expressed clearly, and I'd like to explain it.

We took the scenic route back home. Then we went to Pizza House. There was a discussion about what we like about each other, and what we don't like. What we could change if we could. Michael seems to worry that I'll drop him for some other guy...but I don't really see that happening, as I've never done that in the past. When I'm with someone I do notice other people, but I'm pretty focused on my partner and I as a couple. I used to write about other people all the time when I was dating but I hardly even do that anymore. I'd like to start that up again as it was fun...but I don't know if I'll get around to it. Anyways, the food was good, the company was better, and the conversation was fun. It was really great, actually.

When we got back to the condo we played some video games, but Michael had to get going after a while to take care of his dogs (Dax &...Christie I think). He suggested I could come home with him and stay the night, but I'd been in 2 cat infested environments that day and didn't want to risk not breathing. Also, I was getting really tired and didn't want to get back in a car...and I was feeling overwhelmed. It was all good, as I said, but sometimes even when it's like that it's a bit overwhelming that this is all happening and I need to take a breather.

Right around the time that Michael left I started coughing uncontrollably. I went to bed, and it eventually calmed. I thought maybe I'd caught Mark's cold, and maybe I have, but I'm fine now. Perhaps it was a late response to all the cat stuff; I'm sure I brought home some cat fur on my clothes. I don't know.

I slept pretty well. I woke up several times this morning and tried to sleep more. My stomach was slightly upset, but not as much as it has been lately. Perhaps because I've been taking my pills again.

Mark got home around 8:30am. He was extremely cranky, but I didn't take it personally because he's very sick, and he'd also been awake for 24 hours. Who could blame him for being cranky? I can't. I get uber cranky when I don't sleep. And I'm a horror when I'm sick, which is why I tend to hibernate and avoid others when I'm that way.

I have a doctor's appointment today at 2pm, to test for mono. If I actually see my doctor, and don't just go to the lab, I might talk to him about some other issues that I discussed with Michael (and have talked about with Mark in the past). But that's only if I see the Doctor. Michael has offered to go with me, and that will probably happen.

Michael is coming over today, though we haven't decided when. We want to see each other. We want to take some pictures and set up a myspace page for Michael. We also might go pay Mark's life insurance policy as Mark is so exhausted; he just has to write the check and then I'll go pay it for him. If I can.

I should also do the dishes, which I didn't get to yesterday. I forget to do them lately, because I've not been dirtying any of the dishes (ok, maybe 2 of them) - but I should still do them as Mark seems to hate it and he's not feeling well.

Oh. And I put in an order from Amazon today for all the Star Trek books that I want from now until the end of 2009. I do that. I preorder my Trek books and then they just arrive at my door; the last such order (Vanguard: Open Secrets - May 2009) is about to run dry. Plus I also finally ordered my copy of Caprica, which comes out on Tuesday. Aside from Caprica the order also included a New Frontier graphic novel that forgot to order last October, but all other items haven't come out yet:

New Frontier: Turnaround (October 2008)
Caprica (April 21)
Next Gen: Losing the Peace (July)
Myriad Universes: The Last Generation (July)
DS9: The Soul Key (August)
DS9: The Never Ending Sacrifice (September)
Enterprise: The Romulan War (October)
Voyager: Unworthy (October)
Titan: Synthesis (November)
Vanguard: Precipice (December)

The only other purchases that I'm likely to make this year that I know of now are the final BSG DVDs (4.5 & "The Plan") and any of the new Doctor Who / Torchwood / Sarah Jane discs, though I might have to wait on those as I'm not sure I'll have the cash for them. I'm hoping by then that I will.

Ok. I need to shave and shower.

I've talked to Michael; he's coming over as soon as he gets some stuff sorted. I'm doing the dishes right now, and I started a load of laundry. My electric razor is charging as I did a pretty crappy job of shaving in the shower; I've been very hit or miss with that lately. I'm also charging the battery to my camera so Michael and I can take pictures later. When this load of laundry is done I should wash towels.

I just got a text from my best friend Mollie, apologising for not staying in touch. She says that her dying mother (the reason why she's living in TN) is so bad now that she can hardly speak and she doesn't know who Mollie is half the time! :-0( Mollie says she herself cries all the time now, but that she'll call me when she can. I texted her back telling her to take all the time she needs.

argh. :-0( Poor Mollie. I hate feeling like there's nothing I can do.

Ok. So I'm doing the laundry. Later I have the doc appointment at 2pm. I need to go pay Mark's life insurance policy. I need to get a light bulb to replace the one at the top of the stairs which I just noticed is burnt out. I'd like to stop at Best Buy and the get the dvd case for Mollie's next batch of entertainment; perhaps it will help her? I'm sending her BSG, Doctor Who, The L Word, Nip/Tuck, The United States of Tara, a bit of Graham Norton, and some DS9.

I'd like to clean up the condo some later too. This depends on if I have any energy left. lol. I so suck at organizing anything, so it takes a lot out of me.

I'd love to take pictures at Michael's sometime; get a fresh backdrop going. ;-0)

As I was saving the last entry, Michael was commenting on the previous entry. When I hit refresh to see the full comment it created a double post. So I'm writing this explanation to correct that. lol

I finished the shaving touch up, and exchanged some texts with Michael. The camera battery is charged and ready. I'm putting away the clothes I've washed. I sorted some bottles. I'm going to make my bed. I have to be ready to leave for my appointment in just over an hour. I have directions to the life insurance place, and a checkbook - which is both mine & Mark's; I don't really know how to write a check though. It's one of those things that I hate doing, and so I've only done it maybe 10 times in my entire life. Michael will probably know how it's done though. lol

I made my bed. Put away laundry. Put some towels in the washer; can't wash them all at once; they get too heavy when wet. I took all the bottled water I bought the other day and put it in the kitchen. There's one more case in the trunk of the car. I was going to put one of the cases of water in Mark's room (one of them is in mine) but I didn't want to disturb Mark's rest. I feel like this should be a day where I get stuff done, and so far I have gotten some stuff done, but I feel like I should be doing more.

I keep thinking about Michael, who's on his way here by now. And though we often say that sex isn't the most important part of our relationship, I keep getting a hardon thinking he will be with me again soon. Part of me hopes I don't have mono, but most of me hopes that I do so that I can kiss Michael again. ASAP.

Michael arrived and hung out with me for awhile. He looked at some of my photo albums while I got dressed. He took me to my doctor's appointment, which went well. Either we don't have mono, or if we do it doesn't seem to be a big deal so we're back to kissing. ;-0) Oh. And the gay guy that works in the lab was checking Michael out; it was amusing. Also...we think my doctor is bicurious.

After the doctor's office we went on a mad search for Mark's insurrance place. I needed some Midrin mid-search. We had some troubles paying it when we did find it, but it all worked out in the end. Then went to Best Buy to get Mollie's dvd case. Then Target for a light bulb. Then Little Caesars & the Liquor Store for munchies (Michael craves munchies when he doesn't smoke). We came back here and ate.

The Midrin had kicked in with the food so I was flying, plus my usual time to adjust after I eat. We played video games. Then we went to each others' manhunt profiles and updated them. Apparently Michael knows Trevor and Trevor wanted to hook up with him, though they never did. Wacky. Also, his ex Sean I know from online. I wouldn't be surprised if he knows TONS of people that I know or have dated. ;-0)

Mark is helping Michael set up his computer / webcam. Hopefully that gets sorted. Mark sounds terrible but he seems relieved that I got some stuff done today; I can tell he's less stressed though he hasn't said anything. Michael is watching me type and it's making me nervous. I like that Michael gets along with Mark. ;-0)

Michael and I went out for more snacks and cigarettes, and we rented the first disc of the new Doctor Who, as my sister Janice has my copy. Mark went to work as we were watching the first episode ("Rose"). After the episode we took some pictures and had some amazing sex. I could rave about his cock for several paragraphs, but suffice it to say that I like it a lot. He fucked me; got me off really fast (for me) and came twice himself. And we played safe.

We just showered.

After the shower we watched episode two of New Who ("The End of the World") then went to sleep. Managed to get several hours of sleep. Michael told me later that he'd watched me sleep for awhile and that I was snoring. lol.

When we got up this morning we watched episode 3 of New Who ("The Unquiet Dead"). It's so cool watching the early episodes again; not only are they really cool on their own, but they tie into so many things that come up later. We have the introductions of 9, Rose, Jackie, Mickey, The Autons, Jabe, Cassandra & her 'spiders', The Face of Boe, the Cardiff Rift & Gwyneth + first mentiones of The Time War, The Shadow Proclamation, Bad Wolf & the Darkness.

Later we cuddled and took some more pictures. And had some more fantastic sex. I was getting a headache (my jaw was aching terribly) before we started, and it got really bad during and after, but the sex was really intense and I got a lot of pleasure from it as well. My painkiller (which I need to refill SOON) kicked in though and did the trick. It bothers me that I get these horrible headaches because I've been smiling and talking and eating and giving head. Basically anything joyous hurts me. Blah. I still manage to have my fun.

After I showered, Michael (who was giving me some space and smoking) took his shower, dressed (looking fabulous) and left for home. This is perfect, as my pain killer is kicking in and I need to wash the sheets and I get to chill and just kind of take everything in. It's important to have these times alone...to kind of take stock of everything.

I know I've got details to fill in here, but I'm just posting to say I'm having a hellish time trying to get to sleep. And I'm long overdue. Blah.

I finally got to sleep around 10pm. I woke up at 6:45 am. Before falling asleep I read the first 220 pages of "Star Trek: New Frontier: Treason", which I'm enjoying quite a lot; I've got about 119 pages left to go, and will be sad when it's finished. Waiting for new volumes of this series is not something I'm used to doing, but I know it's going to suck.

Ok. So. Most of Tuesday evening was spent chilling out. I worked on some online stuff, and started chatting with Michael, Michael Eisinger & Chris Reynolds. My Michael got an AIM & Yahoo acount sorted, while also working on his webpage and a myspace page. I in turn started working on a section of my webpage devoted to him which can be seen here; it's fairly embryonic, but I've only been dating him 2 weeks, so give me some time. lol

Tuesday night / Wednesday morning was also the time that Mark made the deal with one of his coworkers to trade our PS3 for a Wii. The PS3 is worth more, and works as both a game system and a bluray player. We however have no money to rent the games (which we mostly didn't like anyways) or bluray movies, which we can watch on my computer if we do have money later. The Wii however has games that we've both enjoyed, and are more likely to have fun with. We got 2 controllers and a 2 games in the mix, which sound cool, though I've not played them yet. My ex-bf Mike has also offered to let us borrow some of his Wii games (which intends to sell) to see if we like them. Even if we can't afford to buy them from him, we'll still get to play them; that's like a free rental. Cool.

Wednedsday morning I slept from 6am to 8:30am when Mark got home. I didn't mind getting up, though I was still very tired, thinking that I'd go back to sleep when Mark went to sleep. We had a long conversation about Michael, and our relationship, and a bit about some other friends and things. Michael and I talked on the phone for a bit, and tried to get back to sleep, which didn't work. I went back to working on Michael's page, and reading news. I passed the time in a daze, constantly aware of how tired I was, but unable to sleep. I think this was perhaps a mix of things, such as the condo being really warm as it had warmed up outside. But I was so exhausted that I was not noticing such things at the time.

Anyways...I've slept now. Thankfully.

Right after the last entry I texted Michael to let him know I didn't feel like talking; that nothing was wrong and I wasn't mad about anything, but that I'm just in an odd mood. I read more of my book. I slept. I ate. I said hello to Mark in passing. I tried to watch LOST, which I've not been watching lately, but I'm not feeling it, and I find the episode I left on oddly stressful.

Michael texted me while I was writing that; asking how I was feeling. I told him I'm ok.

I'll most likely be awake most of the day. Perhaps if it's nice I'll go for a walk?

I have less than 100 pages left in my book. Probably closer to 60 pages. Perhaps I'll finish that now?

Mollie posted a new blog entry on her Myspace Blog - she's back online at last!

I'm listening to some fun mashups I found online. It's distracting me from my upset stomach.

I feel so odd today. Almost like I took one of my zombie pills, only I so haven't.

I finished my book. Dr. Selar, who was one of my favorite Trek characters, is dead. A nice ending though. The book sets up further adventures, which I look forward to reading.

My stomach continues to betray me. Blah.

My stomach started feeling a bit better later. Michael & his friend Mark (whom I'd met 2 weeks ago this Saturday) came over in Mark's van to help my Mark move his comics to storage. I shaved and showered and cleaned up my room for them. Michael's Mark liked my room. I went with them to the storage place and it was all good. Michael brought me a new old chair for my computer desk, which I like a lot, though it's hard to move around in - also, it reeks of smoke despite having been shampooed.

After Michael & Mark left, Mark Adams (lol) set up the Wii and we played some games. Michael kept sending me hot and heavy texts. He wants to see me tomorrow and Saturday, but I'm not sure my stomach is all better, and even if it is, there is still some fallout from that which makes chilling less fun than it would normally be. We'll see. I do like that he wants to see me so much though.

I chatted online with some friends, then on the phone with Michael while updating my gay.com profile. Then I went to bed around 12:07am. I slept extremely well. I woke up at 9:51am. After using the bathroom and taking some medication Michael texted me to let me know he was awake; like clockwork, which amused me.

The weather was beautiful yesterday. I hope it lasts. It doesn't make me feel better exactly...or maybe it does. I think it does.

After the long post failed, I had a snack and played some Wii (sports and Mario Galaxy), then took a hot bath. I invited Michael over to hang out. We went to Meijer, Book Store (to see the fairy door) RiteAid, grocery shopping at Kroger, and LC for food. We ate, which was great, then played some more Wii. Then Michael and I had naked cuddle time. There were a few incidencts, the latter of which took place when I decided I'd tell Michael (who's been telling me he loves me for more than a week now) that I love him. It's not the same as saying I'm 'in love' with him, but I'm fairly certain I'll love him for a very long time - I mean, look at how I'm friends with all my other ex-bfs. So I said it...and I waited for his reaction...only he thought I asked what time it was and told me (a little after 12). Pretty anticlimactic. I made a scene about it though and wouldn't let him off the hook for it. I was just playing though. I slept.

Mark came in my room sometime later, saying he needed to talk to me, but that I was sleeping and I should keep on sleeping. I'm not sure what that was about. I went back to sleep and woke up around 7am. Checked my facebook; replied to messages. And wrote this. I should go back to bed for a bit.

I slept until around 11am. Watched the news. Then Mark & I got ready. Michael & Melissa came and picked us up, taking us to Mark & Dan's for a candle party. It was fun. Met people. Scott was there; thought it went ok, but he was apparently bitchy; oh well. It was fun to hang out. More headaches though; it might have been all the perfumed candles. Later we went to Michael's for a minute, then McDonalds. We stopped at a park I'd never been to and wandered around, which was nice. Then we came home. We've been chilling here, but we're going back to Mark & Dan's later.

I want Michael inside of me...NOW. Erg.
