Went to LC, then the party with Michael. I was careful not to eat too much. I've been extra guarded about my eating lately, but that's cool, as I've not been throwing up the last few days now. I've been taking my pills too. Hope it all works out.

The party was nice... I liked seeing Michael's friends. I love Mark & Danny, and they were there, so that was cool. But there were a lot of mosquitos, and dogs, and people I didn't know (not usually a big deal for me, but they were) talking about things I had no clue how to jump in on. I don't care about landscaping or working on houses. As an example, at one point there was a conversation between 2 lesbians and some gays (lol) discussing the need for ponds in a yard, and the damage done to one pond and the expansion of one, and one guy not wanting one while his partner did. And...that's just not my forte. It's not something I care about, or have much opinion on. It doesn't excite me or bother me or anything me at all. The people involved were nice...I just didn't know how to connect with them.

We stopped and got some Fritos on the way home. I'm telling you, Fritos help keep my stomach happy. I didn't even look at the cookie aisle. 3 days cookie free. :-0) That probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but I've been eating them every day for like 6 months.

When we got home, we chatted with Mark a bit. We had a shower to get all the sunblock / perfume / insect repellent / smoke off of us. Then Michael and I had some amazing alone time! I was hot for him all evening, so that was a really great pay off. Then another shower. Then I went to sleep, while Michael went and got some food, watched some Batman Beyond, and played Wii. Later I got up just as he was getting into bed, so I stayed and cuddled for a bit. I then got up and read some news, and worked on my farm a bit. I have crops coming in relatively soon.

I think I might do some reading.

I read a bit before bed. Cuddled with Michael. Woke up around 2pm from a dream, in which I woke up in bed with Shawn & Jonathan. We were all wrapped up in blankets, trying to stay warm. Shawn had woken me blabbing on the phone with another Shawn I used to know, and when he got off the phone he bitched that the other Shawn wasn't taking the hint that Shawn F was in love with him. I looked to Jonathan to see if he was hurt by this, but he had a bored expression, was playing Farm Town with his foot up (which was bleeding like a fountain over rocks, with a relaxing waterfall sound). Jonathan said that if only the other Shawn could hear this Shawn whine and bitch, then he'd know just how made for each other they are. lol It was so odd, and that was just before I woke up.

When I woke, Michael was preparing to leave, just as Mark was leaving as well. I reminded Michael that he promised to take me to Whole Foods and Kroger. We got that sorted, while I fixed some shit on my computer and then harvested my farm, and chatted briefly with my nephew Justin. I got dressed and Michael took me to Whole Foods, where I got a fruit tray, some salad ingrediants, water, tea, organic bread and dressing, and some melon. I'm trying some new stuff, which is always scary for me. Hopefully it works out. Oh. And my EBT Card doesn't pay for Tea, so I skipped the tea. I have some at home anyways.

After that I decided to skip Kroger, so Michael drove me home. He helped me carry in my groceries. We kissed for a bit. I walked him to his car and kissed him goodbye again, and that was that.

I called Mark to find out where he had gone (thinking he'd gone shopping) but he was at work. I just planted my farm, and now I'm chilling on my own until I get hungry or sleepy. At which point I'll still be chilling on my own, only I'll be sleeping or eating. lol

I read for a bit, and then took a long nap. I dreamt I was living in an abandoned house that I was exploring, discovering toys and books and all kinds of stuff. Janice was there too and her kids. It was cool.

I woke up to find two texts on my phone. One from Michael lamenting the lack of sexy time today, and one from Mark telling me about the carnival that Michael and I also spotted yesterday at Pioneer High. I hope it doesn't end today. I completely forgot about it and I'd like to ride some rides.

I traded some facebook messages with Carrie. She explained why my EBT card wouldn't cover the tea I wanted as it was probably under 'medicinal tea' and the card won't pay for anything that's seen as supplimental. Which is weird, cause it works for Boost (thankfully).

I've got this song stuck in my head called "It's Not Fair" by Lily Allen. I'm hungry now, so I'll probably have a bit of salad.

So instead of having cookies with my fritos, I had a simple salad of green leaf lettice, snap peas, and vegan organic Itallian dressing. The dressing isn't wonderful for you, but it's better than the crap I was eating, and better than the dressing I usually use. Also, having a small bowl of salad guarntees that I don't over eat (my stomach can only handle small doses of food). Now I'm sipping on some organic caffeine free ginger tea that I've had for ages but never got in the habbit of drinking. The tea was made with electrolyte enhanced water. I'm not dropping fritos or Little Caesars or anything but those cookies really, but with just a few simple changes I think I'm probably making a world of difference. Wish me luck!

Hopefully I don't come off as crazy.

Oh. I just remembered Kira (on DS9) talking to Odo about ginger tea in a flashback to how they met (from "Necessary Evil"). Nice memory. Great episode.

I watched some Lily Allen music videos and not only is she cool, but she's gay friendly. She's got this song "Fag Hag", but a better one, called "Fuck You", which is telling homophobe racist types to fuck off and die. ;-0) lol

I also watched the first episode of "Wonderfalls", it's set in the same universe as Pushing Daisies, and it shows! Yay! There's a crossover character, and some of the same actors. It's like an extra season of the show really. A Pushing Daisies Prequel. :-0)

Mark got home and we talked for a bit.

I had a piece of peanut butter toast (with organic white bread), with a Boost, plus some small servings of cantaloupe & blackberries. The orgranic bread, cantaloupe and blackberries were all new to me, and I liked all of them. :-0)

Right. So I had a fantastic wank. :-0)

A nice hot shower followed. Scrubbed everything clean. I continue to use the Aloe Vera goop that Mark got me, to help with the remnants of my sunburn and to moisturize as I take a lot of showers, though he's always pestering me to use it more, and he's probably right.

I feel really, truly relaxed.

My stomach isn't bothering me, which tells me that I've gotten enough rest, and taken my pills, and not eaten too much. And I'm grateful for that. Go me!

I hope it lasts.

I probably won't be seeing Michael until Friday. I'm supposed to hang with Carrie sometime soon. Paul wanted to hang out last week but it just flew by! I'm not sure I mentioned this in my blog before, but on the way home from the party on Saturday we stopped at Charle's apartment and got the movies back that he borrowed back in early November. It's good to have them back where they belong, and it was nice to see him briefly as well. He was wearing a "Homophobia Is Whack" shirt, which is a good sign I think.

:-0)

It was better being with Michael though.

Other sci-fi geeks...especially gay sci-fi geeks, just piss me the hell off.

Aside from that, I've got less than 100 pages left in my itty-bitty-book that I should have finished ages ago. What's with me not reading books at a normal pace this year???

I had a light snack of blueberries, honey dew and water. The first 2 items were completely new to me. And again, I liked them. :-0)

I'm tired.

I slept from about 10am to 4pm I think? Maybe I went to bed at 9am. Not sure. I slept well. I read the news. I showered. I harvsted my farm.

I just had a salad of green & red leaf lettice, plus unshelled snap peas. I've probably had red leaf lettice before, but while I've enjoyed eating snap peas fresh from the pod in the past, today is the first time I've ever eaten the pods as well! Still yummy. Also had more of my organic vegan salad dressing, which I love. I had fritos with this, as I am with all my salad type stuff, as I'm hoping this will prevent unfortunate gastro side effects from eating so much salad. It seems to be working.

I was going to have some melon with my salad but Carrie warned me that this is a bad mix. Apparently your stomach digests them at different rates or something, and the way they interact can make you heave. So I'm saving the melon / fruit as a snack for later, with some more peanut butter toast.

About the bread that I got. I was raised on white WonderBread. As far as I know, nobody in my household ever had anything else. I've been told over the years that there's nothing really good that comes from eating white bread, and I've tried others, but white bread comforts me as one of the foods that I ate growing up that wasn't exactly junk food.

The new white bread I got from Whole Foods is a smaller loaf then I usually get. I'm not sure if it's any better for me than the white bread I've been buying from Kroger the last decade, and I've not paid attention to the ingrediants of that Kroger product to notice any differences, but the bread feels different; it's more compacted; more firm. And the packackage says there are no preservativs and no additives and that it's chemical free. It says that the finished product meets or exceeds the written standards of excellence by the Circle of Excellence(?). The ingrediants: unbleached white spelt flour, water, honey, expeller pressed canola oil, yeast & sea salt. That sounds pretty simple. And I've heard that sea salt is better for digestion than regular table salt. I'm now curious to see what's in the stuff I've been eating for years.

This is the kind of thing I've been thinking about the last couple months. Food. Not to lose weight, cause that's not a problem for me. But to feel healthy. To be healthy. Or at least more healthy than I have been. For so long I couldn't have much of anything, and when I did I was terribly sick. I was losing so much weight and it scared me, and my life was miserable. When it was suddenly possible to eat so much that I'd been deprived of, I kind of jumped to all the bad stuff, and I stayed there, for a very long time. But I think I'm finally coming out of that place. It was like I was making up for lost time, but I think I can stop that now and not feel cheated.

I'm drinking organic Chamomile Herb Tea, which I like quite a lot. This is another tea that I've had in the cubbard for a long while. Aside from fritos, everything I've had for the last 24 hours has been health food type stuff. And I'm ok with that. It's been a good mix of things.

I slept from 7:30pm - 10:20pm. The pills that let me eat make me sleepy. When I woke up I was hungry again, so I had some peanutbutter toast (1 slice), a Boost with some Fritos, and then for desert I had blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. I haven't had raspberries in ages. I've never liked them as the seeds always bothered me, but they don't bother me now for some reason, so that's cool. Now I'm just sipping bottled water.

It's possible I could go to Necto tonight, but I'm not sure if I will or not.

Probably NOT going to Necto. I feel like working on my DCAU Veiewing Order page, and I'm content to do that. ;-0)

I got quite a bit done on my DCAU page. I also got to trade messages with Michael, and have a nice phone conversation with Mollie. I just had another salad and water.

I also watched "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker", and JLU's "Epilogue", to help me with the DCAU stuff. Fun stuff! ;-0)

I went to sleep this morning around 9am I think, after a night of working on my DCAU page, which I'm really enjoying, though it's a lot of work. It's really coming together I think. I also helped Mollie with her farm, and she helped me with mine. I planted my crops in a design this time; I hope Mollie sees it. ;-0)

I got up around 1:30pm I think. Mark was getting ready to leave, so I got up as well, as I needed the car for some errands. Mollie texted me about then but I was running around with my sleepy eyes half closed. Mark drove us to his job (stopping at the bank and Pizza Hut), then I dropped off a package for him at UPS, went to Kroger for Fritos, and the bank to deposit some cash. I stopped at American's Best to see if Varian was in, but she's still off, most likely until the end of the month. Then I stopped at Hillard's to see if Michael Eisinger was working but I couldn't see him. I headed to Whole Foods where I bought a tote bag, and brought home celery, green leaf lettice, parsley, raspberries, blackberries, water, garlic, & butter lettice (which has these really big green leaves). There are so many fruits and vegtables that I want to try, but I'm kind of concentrating on different things in my salad for now. The berries I got for my deserts.

When I got home I put away my groceries and did the dishes. I called my sister Janice and talked to her for awhile. I might see her on Saturday at the Mooreville Reunion. I might also visit them sometime soon.

Then I got on here and started this entry, during which Michael called me and I talked to him.

I had another headache yesterday, and one today as well. I think, probably because of the weather. I have to figure out my insurance so I can go see my doctor and get new medication.

I need to clean up my room...and I'm in need of a shower. Which reminds me that I'm out of bodywash damn it! I need to go out to HARC tonight too. Hmmmm.

I clipped my nails and showered. I cleaned up my room. I bagged up and took out the trash.

I went to HARC and got my results: as of Wednesday, July 1, 2009 I remain HIV NEGATIVE. I was pretty sure that was the case as since my last test I've only had 5 partners; 4 of which were completely safe, and the 5th (Michael) has already tested negative twice since I met him, and we've also both tested negative for other stds. Still, it's nice to have it confirmed.

I was originally going to go to Little Caesars on my way home, but I wanted more salad and couldn't have both so I just came home. I made a salad with butter lettice, celery, parsley & snap peas. I had to use our cutting board for the first time in my life. The salad was great.

I'm watching the latest episode of the Closer.

After "The Closer" I took a nap, and my alarm just woke me up. I need to get dressed and go pick up Mark from work.

Mollie called me on the way to pick up Mark. We didn't talk long as I was driving. I got to Mark's work on time. Mark let me in, and one of his coworkers, Richard was watching DS9's "The Wire", a fantastic Garak episode. We chatted for a minute and then headed out. On the way to the car there was an older man coming in who I said hello to, and he said hello back, before he got really rude about where I had parked the car, at which point I called him a dick, and we were off to Meijer to get one of Mark's coworker's a going away card. I called Mollie back and chatted for a bit, there was a big storm where she lived so she let me go. When we got home Mark went to bed (he has to be up at 7am) and Mollie & I worked on each others' farms. Now I'm finally done planting mine...I've been doing crazy patterns on mine lately, to deal with some of the inherrant boredom of the game.

Now what?

After the last entry I worked on my DCAU stuff, shaved and showered, and got all ready for when Michael would around, around 11pm. Mark got home before Michal did, and I showed him the progress I'd made on my page. Michael joined us. Mark went to his room. Michael & I had some really amazing...well, you know. After we showered, Michael went to get some food and I had a salad with some bread. Michael got back and ate while he watched Batman Beyond (he's on Season 3) downstairs while I worked on the DCAU thing some more upstairs. I fell asleep while researching. Michael joined me soon after, but I got up, my stomach in knots. I had stomach problems all night. I was pretty exhausted, but I had to keep going to the bathroom. This is the first negative symptom I've had in relation to my new diet, but it might just be a fluke, as my body gets like that sometimes. Anyways, Michael wanted me to join him in bed I didn't want to lay down until I was pretty sure things were better, or I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore so I could hide in my oblivion. In the end it was a little bit of both.

I woke up a few times with Michael up. He eventually kissed me goodbye and left, saying something about going shopping. I couldn't get back to sleep. I'd call him, but I'm worried my tummy troubles aren't completely gone, and I'd rather be sure of that before I bother him again. I feel like he was disappointed we weren't spending more time together the way that he wanted, but then so was I.

Some cool non-spoilery BSG news. The extended cuts available on the dvds add up to an hour more footage! There's 10 more minutes in "A Disquiet Follows My Soul", There's 20 minutes more in "Islanded in a Stream of Stars", and then in a special cut of the finale that combines all 3 episodes that make up "Daybreak", there is an additional 30 minutes of footage! Awesome! And while "The Face of the Enemy" webisodes (which are ESSENTIAL) are not included here or on the DVD release of The Plan, which has now been announced as coming to DVD (in an extended cut) on October 27(!!!), this article on Digital Bits had this to say on the matter:

"Unfortunately, the 10-part Face of the Enemy webisode series is missing here for some unknown reason (possibly disc space). We've checked with Universal and the studio IS aware that people want it, so we're told that it will be made available on disc at some point in the future. We'll keep you up to date on this."

That relieves some of my annoyance with the webisodes not being included. I was worried I was the only one that was upset they were gone, or that Universal didn't care. Hopefully this will be resolved soon so that I can have the complete series on DVD, but unless they give it a disc all it's own, the only thing I can imagine them releasing this on is a first season set of Caprica, which probably won't be available until fall 2010 at the earliest. Still, the word is we'll see it on disc at some point, and that's better news than anything else I've heard about it.

I went back to bed after the last entry. I just got up a few minutes ago from a very weird nightmare, that was upsetting in the first few seconds of waking, but comical now. In the dream, Michael had given me herpes and then broken up with me, and I had all these weird sypmtoms to deal with while I was getting into trouble with this religious government agency, with these freaky vampire rock-star priests... lol

I'm having my farm harvested and plowed. I'm not planting anything thing. Trying to wait until I have the whole thing clear so I can try a new pattern. lol
--------------------------------
20 minutes later:

I was writing this entry while having my farm harvested and plowed, and I got an error message and internet explorer shut down! It wouldn't let me copy the text from my blog, or save it, so I hit 'print screen' and saved it as a jpeg, then retranscribed it from there. ;-0)

I took another nap after the last entry. I woke up around 10:30pm when Mark called, and he offered to bring me home some crazy bread to see if that helped my stomach, and I thanked him. I took a shower. When I got out I was going to call Michael but there was a text from him saying that he hoped I slept well but that he was getting tired and he guessed that he would speak to me tomorrow (today), so I didn't call, as I thought that was a prettty clear sign that he was going to bed and that he was fine and there was nothing to worry about. Mark got home and the crazy bread was perfect. I felt better. I fell asleep again watching Superman. I woke up a few minutes ago, with more texts from Michael...one asking me if i was mad at him, and the other a comment on this blog saying that he wished that I'd called him so he could come back over but since it was now 3am he assumed I didn't want him back over. Dude. I thought he was asleep. lol. And anyways...I was asleep. Mostly. I might even go back to sleep if I can. I had more strange dreams.

Oh. Something weird about my blog that I forgot to mention to Mark, or correct on my own for the last few entries. When I post a new entry...it always posts as an hour earlier than I wrote it for some reason. I noticed it yesterday and corrected those entries. I'll do the same to this one and the previous ones.

I'm still excited about the BSG news from yesterday. Looking forward to seeing the Extended Cuts of those 3 episodes, and knowing that the studio is likely to release BSG: Face of the Enemy at some point, plus we're getting BSG: The Plan earlier than expected. I should have those extended cuts a week from wednesday. :-0)

I'll probably pre-order The Plan later today.

10 to 11 days, that's all I have left to wait, and then I can see the BSG extended cuts!

Um. Yeah. I'm back to being geeked about BSG! :-0)

Perhaps I should start rewatching the Harry Potter movies in preperation of seeing #6? I might be seeing it on Tuesday with Michael, and possibly Paul. I have to talk to him about that. I have to talk to them both about it, really. Maybe I'll finally break down and buy the 5th one. It's weird that I don't own that one, cause it's my favorite in the series so far.

I think, when the next extended cut (which won't be out for MONTHS at least) of Watchmen comes out (assuming I like the Director's Cut), that I'll get that one on Blu-Ray.

Ooh. The new Star Trek movie comes to DVD in November.
