Friday was interesting. I woke up not feeling all that well. My stomach is just evil. But it eventually got better. I got ready for work, but had to call in for a ride, but they were really dead, and said I didn't have to come in. I thought that was fine because I didn't get much sleep and there were tons of things to do in order to have the party go smoothly on Saturday. Only I checked my e-mail, and this led me to this amazing stash of slash art, in which I got lost for HOURS. My shift at work was over by the time I even noticed, and there I was, just sitting there, all dressed for work, having not slept, or eaten, or done anything useful - but I'll tell you that it was a lot of fun, and very relaxing, and I think I must have needed it.

I thought Mark would be mad, but he wasn't, and he went to the store and got the other things we needed for the party. I slept until around 11pm. I woke up and realized I needed to get ready for Necto, but then Mollie called me. She sounded horrible! She has this really bad cold, which sucks, because even though she's trying to put a brave face on and sound ok, she doesn't. If I made her laugh she'd go into this coughing fit, and she had all kinds of fluids... This sucks. The last party I had, she was really tired during so nobody really saw her at her best, even though she had a good time. She had to leave early that night too. This time she set aside time off of work so she could sleep before the party; party all night if need be, and sleep all Sunday. She has sacrificed MUCH for this, and was looking forward to spending time with me, Mark, Carrie, Adam, Shawn, Jonathan, Bryan, Chris, Jennifer, Jeremy, Kim, and everyone else...and now she can't come. I feel horrible for her...and selfishly for me, because I miss her and I want her to be there. Oh well. I'm going to call her from the party so she can talk to people, and we're planning on a Halloween party (the week before the holiday) so that Mollie can get her party groove on. ;-0)

By the time I got off the phone it was midnight, and I had to shave and shower, and get dressed - which I did in a flash; I got to the bar around 12:30am. I had told Mark that when I got home, we could continue work on the condo for the party, and I really didn't think I'd be gone that long. I saw lots of people at the bar that I knew. Donnie from Adrian was there; he lives in Britain now, and he wants to come to the party, so I got his number and I'm going to call him later. Bill was there and looking great! I saw Craig. DJ Dan/Jinx & Rachel were there. James Mitchell was there, and so was Garett. I met a lot of people in passing that I can't remember names for. I had my picture taken with Jamie again, and later with Donnie and other friends. I met this boy downstairs who told me his name and then made out with me (he bit my lip though); his name was Michael, and he got my phone #. I later ran into some of Jeremy's friends; they said he was there but they couldn't find him. I eventually did, and met more of his friends Casey(?), Jessica, & Jessica's husband, who's name escapes me at the moment. I also met Caleb's friend Mitch. I met 2 cute guys from Canton, separately, who actually rode to the bar together: Steve and Douglas. Both are a lot of fun. I danced with Steven and spent more time with him, as when I met Douglas he gave me this look that made me think he wanted to hurt me or something (I thought he might be jealous of me because he liked Donnie?) but later he approached me and set me straight, and he was really interesting. I'd like to get to know him better. Robert singled me out again at the end of the night... And Douglas invited me to get pizza with them around the corner.

Outside the bar I talked to Jeremy & his friends for quite a while. I also talked to Garret & James, Bill, Robert, Steven & Douglas, and eventually walked with Robert to the pizza place where I met up with the guys who had invited me. I sat with them & I met some of their friends. I don't remember their names right now, but I'm really tired, and I need to take a shower and get Mark out of bed so we can get shit done.

I had fun at the pizza place; I only had a sprite. I got to know Steve & Douglas better. Steve's full name is Steven David Parish and he isn't Douglas's boyfriend, and they don't live together. Douglas lives with his parents, whom he came out to in March (though this wasn't his choice - his now ex-bf Michael outed him - he dated Michael from December - April), and for the record, Douglas is bisexual; he's a smoker, and I like hearing him talk.

I was able to give several great hugs tonight, and I got good hugs in return. People complimented me on the things they always compliment me on: I'm a good hugger, I smell good, and people like my eyes. It's always nice to hear these things though, and I'm always grateful when anyone pays me a compliment. The blue room (goth music section) was dead, but the music upstairs wasn't that bad, and I danced about half the time I was there.

I eventually left the boys on the street, as I was worried that I might get a ticket where I was parked, as it was after 3am. I came home, told Mark I was home, and that I wanted to type this out before doing anything, and he went back to sleep while I typed this. I also sent a message to Jeremy's friend Kirk/Kurt(I've never heard his name when there wasn't loud music), who was there for awhile though I didn't get to see him...and then added some friends to myspace.

I really want to get out of these clothes and shower. ;-0) And for all of those people who are reading this who are coming to my party; I look forward to seeing you all there, and let's take a moment to think of Mollie, and hope that she gets better soon!
