I didn't sleep before work. I just relaxed, ate, and got ready to go. I was on time. I had considered going early and taking Jeremy's birthday flowers to him, which I had bought for him, but then put in their vase, which kind of precluded him taking them with him. I thought I could drop them off at his work, which is really close to where I live; that way they could be enjoyed, and when they died, he could just keep the vase. But I didn't really have time, so I didn't. I'll probably do it tomorrow morning sometime.

At work, with Bryan and DJ, it was mostly slow; not dead, but not busy. This guy came in that I've had problems with in the past. He's about 6'4"; about 300 pounds; and he's an asshole, and probably mental... I think he's kind of retarded. I've never liked him. He rents on this old man's account, so he can get his discount. This old man, who must be his father or grandfather, is on oxygen, with one foot in the grave, and this guy, who depends on him for stuff, treats the old man like shit. I think the guy must threaten the old man, or the old man is even meaner than him. Typically, the asshole guy comes in, looks for stuff that he wants, while sneering a lot, and then has the old guy come in to pay - as DJ once put a note on the guy's account that he has to be there in order fot the asshole guy to rent on his account. So, this one time, as he was leaving he called me a fag. I told Bryan and DJ what had happened and that I didn't want him in the store, because, firstly, he's a dick, and 2ndly, I'm not allowed to saying anything rude to him, which kind of ties my hands and pisses me off even more. I've only seen him one other time since then, before today, and he was in & out before I could do anything about it. Today he came in, and called me a faggot. DJ was right next to me and asked him what he said, and as he was walking out the front door (in the same cowardly way he did it the first time) he said it again, only louder. DJ dropped everything and chased after him! Bryan followed suit. DJ chased him into the entry alcove of the Credit Union, next door, and asked him to repeat himself to his face - and the asshole guy, who towers over DJ and is HUGE got right up in DJ's face and asked him "Do you have a problem with that?". Which was when DJ's anger was turning to healthy fear... But then Bryan was there to back him up, and even though the guy could probably kill them both, DJ told him that he didn't want him in his store anymore. They came back, without the asshole; the got the licence plate # of the old guy's car, and reported them to the police, and asked that they be barred, but what has to be done, is that when the asshole is in the store again, we need to call 911 and have the police read him this statement which bars him from the store, and then he can be called in on trespassing. That sucks. But I can't tell you how good it made me feel to see Bryan & DJ go ripping after him! I thanked them, and they said I didn't need to, but I told them that I'm well aware that there are gay people that work at a job where what happened might actually have been turned on them, and that I wanted them to know that I appreciate them. It would have been very different if I hadn't been at work. Asshole Guy would have called me a fag, and I would have said "Yeah, and? I am a fag, and I'm hot, while you're a grotesqely fat, disturbingly ugly, retarded fuck, with zero chance of getting any pussy whatsoever. I think I've got the far better deal, ASSHOLE." or many a varient thereof.

After that things were quiet. Bill, Andrea, Joe, and Matt eventually joined us, and Bryan left, and Nate stopped by. I watched the start of "Gay Sex In The 70's" on my break. After my break, this woman who had rented season 3 of Buffy came in with her husband, and confessed that she had watched season 4, without Angel, and that she wanted to go right to season five of Buffy and skip Angel - which I talked her out of, because she's basically just skipped 22 episodes of Buffy! It was so much fun convincing them to watch it, and they rented the first 3 discs of Angel! Then my lesbian gal pal Jennifer came in, as did Linda (this other woman, who's a big favorite at work) and someone asked Linda if she was ok, and she said that she was fine, except that I had obviously fallen in love with another woman! And I said that NO ONE had EVER accused me of that before, which we all laughed about. lol (Only I was, once accused of that by Jennifer Clemente!). I walked this Jennifer outside, as I was leaving too, and I recommended V for Vendetta to her, and told her about the anti-bush, gay/lesbian content, and she got really excited about that. I love it when a new movie is released that I can actually feel good about encouraging people to see. It's not like I encourage them to see the bad ones, but we haven't had anything to encourage in so fucking long! lol

It took awhile for Mark to get out of work, and I was so beat. When we got home, I went right to bed. I woke up several times before I actually got out of bed. I had considered, at one point, going to Aut Bar, and Necto, but I feel a little out of it, and I just think that's a bad idea tonight.

Mark & I have to go to comcast tomorrow sometime before noon to get this thing to fix our internet connection, which had been deadly slow this past week. My new computer is all put together, but Mark has to put it through some tests, and get everything perfect before we set it all up. I'm trying to not be excited, and not be freaky happy about it until I actually have it, and all my stuff has been transferred to it, and it's all good. We'll see how that plays out this weekend.
